Man, I used to LOVE defragmenting drives. I felt like I was actually doing something productive, and I just got to sit back and watch the magic happen.

Now I know better.

Oh I agree. If it goes Super Hard then all this AI nonsense has been worth it, TBH.

If someone goes through the trouble of ordering/printing it, buyin/selling it, and wearing it, at that point I’d consider it a real shirt.

I think it’s because people are still uncomfortable answering “atheist” on questionnaires and polls. It’s easier to say “no religious affiliation”, and most people are probably agnostic instead of atheist anyway.

I used to have a Jeep Liberty. It was an '06 and lasted me until '20 when I replaced it with something not made by Stellantis.

Anyway, that car had a history of stuff breaking. I did a vast majority of the fixes myself, including random sensors here and there, the heater core, and even the head gasket (what a pain).

I had to drive that car 3/4 across the country for work (with no cruise control), and knew I’d be keeping that car there for 6 months or so. Knowing something would probably break, I loaded most of my tools in the back while I was packing.

Sure enough, about 3 days before I was supposed to drive it 24 hours back home, the water pump failed. I had a little bit of advance notice, but it took me a couple of days to diagnose what the noise was.

I changed the water pump in the driveway of the house I was staying at, and had all of the tools I needed. It was both glorious and sucky at the same time.

I have Frigate running with a reverse proxy, a coral, etc. I just use the internal Intel GPU on my CPU and it works with a 1080p and a not-quite-4k stream (4MP maybe?). It’s no sweat for the hardware.

GPU is only used to detect motion, and you can even configure a lower resolution sub-stream from your cameras to reduce that load, but I don’t think you’ll need to.

Once motion is detected, Frigate fires up the coral to determine what is there. A car, dog, person, etc.

I have everything get recorded with no processing to a single WD Purple, the biggest I could afford. It holds months of video before rewriting over old stuff.

I have Amcrest cameras which are rebranded Dahua I think. I’m relatively happy with them, but I’ve always dreamed of owning Axis cameras, though they are a bit pricey. My cameras are on a VLAN that can’t access the internet.

Hope that helps.

It’s run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they’re both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I’m trying not to use the pejoritve “tankie”).

Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, ends up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.

They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn’t be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.

By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be – a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

[email protected] and [email protected] have my support since I boycott .ml whenever possible.
