- Comment on Raspberry Pi 4B 3 days ago:
idk about a 4b these days but the 5’s are stupid priced. You can get a refurbed 6th gen intel machine with 16gb of ram and an SSD for the price of a 4Gb Pi 5. Add an ESP32 running ESPhome or Firmata and you’ve got everything you could do with a Pi and a lot more.

- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 3 days ago:
I can’t say I particularly trust even Bitwarden’s servers. I export Bitwarden passwords to a spreadsheet once a month and rsync it along with SSH keys to a USB key. Takes a couple minutes.

After twenty years of self-built printers, I got an Ender 3 to stop having to fiddle with the printer every time I went to print. It was glorious. Not sure why the Ender hate, they work well, especially for the price.

To be fair, the farmer bailout is a drop in the bucket of what they’re down over lost sales to China and higher fertilizer prices. Like, have the day you voted for and all that, but 12B is 1% of this years military budget.

IDK how Frigate handles alerts, but Blue Iris will write an alert to MQTT topic if it matches object recog, and I have an app MQTT Alert that watches that and goes nuts if it comes up. The BI android app is underwhelming in its alerts.

- Comment on Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard 2 weeks ago:
Yah, that’s a PWM charger. You’d likely see up to another third more power stored with an MPPT at temperatures below freezing from my experience running various offgrid livestock pumping systems over the years. I still use old PWM controllers on things like fencers because they’re pretty low draw, but I haven’t bought a PWM for years now since MPPT prices came down to earth.
Just a suggestion, idk what your particular scenario is but it sounds like you’re running out of power pretty quick. And for batteries, I’ve personally moved to LFP with heaters in insulated boxes for the sheer life expectancy, power density and reliability compared to LA in cold temperatures. But I wouldn’t say it’s the cheapest way to do things.
- Comment on Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard 2 weeks ago:
Well, I guess whatever camera you get should give you a power requirement and you can work backwards from there as to storage and panel requirement. My off the cuff notion would say you’ll need a deep cycle or a group 31 of 100aH to last for a day or two depending on weather and length of day, and lithium batteries will get plating if you try to charge below freezing so they’re out.
It’s all in the math, then double it because nature hates you.
- Comment on Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard 2 weeks ago:
Do you have an MPPT charger or a PWM? The amount of extra power you get off your panels in winter can be significant with a good MPPT charger because it isn’t clipping the higher voltage/power you get in cold.
- Comment on Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard 2 weeks ago:
Grab a regular ethernet connected camera with 12V supply and ONVIF compatible, and a OpenWRT router like GLiNet’s cheapo units in bridge mode. They have a wireguard VPN active already, you just need to get it set up. Then you specify what subnet the inside of that router is so you can get to the camera, and access it via IP.

Been running my email server on a resi IP for two decades, without PTR records, and never had to deal with a blacklist by any major players. Maybe because I’m not on some big ISP.

It’s fine if you use the AIO or do some specific things on baremetal like Postgres and Redis. I’ve used in virtually every format over the last dozen years, and you eventually learn what works.
