Some reolink cameras (B800 for sure) scramble the encoding to lock them to reolink NVRs. I used two of them with frigate by running neolink because fuck vendor lock in

I had problems with the 0.6.x series but 0.5.18 ran well enough. I abandoned those cams because they would occasionally switch to sending static to frigate and locking it down.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
There is a dlna server but it has “totally unintentional” memory leaks that cause it to crash after a few days and they refuse to fix.

I built this system for my mother with an old business pc running frigate. I used an old wifi router with ap mode available in the firmware that is only for the cameras. It’s a simple way to make sure the cameras won’t have internet access without relying on whatever router they may have. I added a second Ethernet port to the business PC because I had the parts, but for one or two cams you could theoretically do all over wifi. Install wireguard so you can manage it remotely. Then decide if you want to bother forwarding the ports and getting a domain setup, or if local only viewing is good enough.
For cameras, I used these amcrest ASH22-W which are good enough for the price. 1080p for $33
One thing to remember with these cameras- mounting them high gives you a bigger field of view, wipes out any possibilities of identification. The frigate models also don’t do as well. Doorbell cameras are better for that.

I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.
My modem is plugged into that.

Some search engines let you block sites from future results. If I’m on my desktop, I’ll knock out the obvious ones on the first page of a search. I’m hoping one day I get them all and can eradicate it once and for all.
- Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-
My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I “fixed it” by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by “fixed it” I really mean “got it working”
So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.

Moss Landing battery storage facility has repeatedly caught fire, which highlights another potentially major savings for grid operators, as the fallout of such events are instead borne by the operator of the battery, which for the DSGS would be the home owner.

- Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips? 5 weeks ago:
You’ve watched Google,Facebook, and apple do it the last 20 years. If a good idea is spotted early enough, they buy the whole company before they can make it to market and grow to become a threat. It happens in any emerging tech and you’re watching it happen now in the LLM space. Companies burn cash, waiting for their competitors to make a mistake or run out of money. Then they buy out the struggling company, absorbing any tech they might have, maybe some branding, but more importantly- their customers. Now they can jack up prices once market forces are eliminated.
If not for the threat of anti-trust laws, you would see single company rule in every single sector. That is the end goal of a company- a monopoly that crushes potential competition and squeezes consumers.
Railroads, telephone, petroleum, internet, airlines, all ended up as regional monopolies. - Comment on Homelab networking recommendations? 5 weeks ago:
If you’re in the omada ecosystem, a one-off unifi device is going to frustrate you. They’re trying to wrangle you into buying shit like this: store.ui.com/us/en/products/up-floodlight
Which part is slow? I run a software controller in a proxmox VM and it is plenty quick. My router is an opnsense vm and has 8 ryzen 7700x threads assigned to it, so no problems there 😁
- Comment on running Media Services on NAS or separate server 5 weeks ago:
I keep my Linux ISOs on mergerfs over NFS via open media vault. All of them are easily replaced so I don’t bother backing them up.
Nextcloud, paperless, and photos get their whole image backed up on proxmox local, and a remote PBS. I’m the only user so the sizes are quite manageable.

Much like Amazon has an incentive to not show you the specific thing it knows you’re searching for, people theorize that these interfaces are designed to burn through your tokens.
