The iOS app is decent, and the web interface is excellent imo. Web has better search. I think the AI computer vision stuff performs slightly worse than Ring. E.g. package detection is pretty good but not great. However, pretty impressive considering everything is running locally. I think they have some dedicated hardware now for running local computer vision stuff that likely performs better.

Considering how much money I spent on crappy router/WiFi solutions, I think the UniFi stuff is very reasonably priced. From a software standpoint, it’s definitely overkill. The only wall I hit so far is I don’t think you can send IPv6 traffic over a VPN. I use a network level VPN to Mullvad via Wireshark. I whitelist devices to VPN but blacklist some domains that don’t play nice with a VPN. If I turn on IPv6, it leaks my location via IPv6 address. But if I turn it off, Mullvad reports my location is hidden. 🤷

Probably because I’m using a VPN. Mullvad specifically. I guess I should have mentioned that

Ubiquity has been awesome. I’m running a cloud gateway max and a single U7 pro wall AP. It was $400 all the networking stuff, and $300 for the doorbell. The doorbell was a little steep, but you gotta remember there’s no subscription. And after trying a bunch of routers, $400 is honestly a great value for the quality of the networking gear. And I have a ton of headroom for upgrades in the future.
I’ve heard ubiquiti support isn’t the best for professional installments, but in the home, it’s been fantastic.

I’m very happy with my ubiquiti doorbell. It records to a local NVR on my network.

I’m hoping something I did in 1.9.23 fixed it. I think that might have been happening after you opened/closed an article.

Ooo that’s annoying. Does it always not respond or only sometimes? Just to help me get to the root cause.

I feel like streaming music isn’t that expensive. Wasn’t music like $1-1.3 before streaming services? If you listen to one new album a month you’ve basically broken even

If you have a kindle you can hack it and load PDFs onto it. The koreader is better anyway.
- Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think this will work within the context of a feed of posts. You would have to make at least 1 additional comment for every post in the feed to fetch the comments for a post. So if you fetch a feed of 50 posts, you will have to make 51 requests. If a post has too many comments to fetch in one page, you will have to iterate through all the pages until you have all the comments. So it’s actually >=51 requests. Though I suspect you could get a good idea of a posts comments by fetching just the first page of comments.

But where do you store the computed tag? I guess you could hack it by having a bot that comments the computed post tags on the post itself, but that’s messy.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 weeks ago:
There are also many Lemmy instances that are intentionally blocking VPNs because they have to to stay afloat.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 weeks ago:
Idk, but a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with VPNs. Some of them are using Cloudflare, but idk if all the ones blocking VPNs are the ones using Cloudflare. But bot traffic is a big problem, and Cloudflare poses a solution to that. It’s not the ony solution, but it is a pretty good one.
You can’t really have a free social media network and not have it block VPNs. At least not with large public instances.

- Comment on Comparing network utilization of Lemmy, Kbin and PieFed - PieFed (2024) 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think caching benefits Lemmy and PieFed content that is changing very rapidly (e.g. new comments). That type of caching makes more sense for Lemmy/PieFed images.
However, bot traffic can get very expensive these days with all the AI crawlers. Cloudflare offers very good tooling to block these bots. I know there are other open source tools and I’m not defending Cloudflare, but it’s also easy to criticize when you’re not the person running the instance. From what I’ve seen, all the admins work very hard to keep the threadiverse running. I’m guessing that’s why a lot of instances are using Cloudflare.
- Comment on Comparing network utilization of Lemmy, Kbin and PieFed - PieFed (2024) 2 weeks ago:
Depends what you’re looking for. PieFed devs themself said Blorp is very good. It’s just a different take. If you like the official PoeFed UI, use that. If you want something more modern, use Blorp.

- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 2 weeks ago:
For point 3, I assumed solar doesn’t get hot since it turns the light into electricity. Due to the conservation of energy and mass, it must reduce some of the heat by turning it into electricity, right?
