  You’re giving the guy a lot of grace. Admitting that there could be other reasons why tall guys can be partnered with short girls, especially when given objective evidence supporting these other reasons, is not impeded by a language barrier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get on my level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Again. Someone pointed out that in general women prefer men that are like 8" taller whereas men prefer women who are 3" shorter, and you refuse to talk about how it might not be the man preferring a very short wife, but the wife preferring a very tall man.

  Instead you double down on “damn, them be some child-like features the men are going for”.

  What does that tell everyone? You are CHOOSING to interpret a height differential to be about child like features, ignoring evidence to the contrary.

  Why would you choose that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get on my level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can have stupid feelings, especially once they concern how you treat others. There’s a big difference between “idk why, but I really like cherry flavored ice cream” and “idk why, but these people make me feel uncomfortable”, because the latter opens you up to treating others with prejudice.

  It’s your job to wrestle with them and make sure your feelings are justified, or to change your mind.

  You didn’t address it, so I gotta ask, did you read the part about causation at all?

  You got it! Best of luck with the baby

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wildlife cam setups?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are multiple wifi-connected solar powered cameras that will do the motion-activation, IR night mode, etc. thing that you’re asking for, that you can just drop into a location, but they won’t be self hosted.

  Unfortunately pretty much everything you’d self host takes time and finagling, it’s just the price of privacy/independence. I know you’re asking for a self hosted solution but that will be difficult with little free time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wildlife cam setups?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll want to be running frigate, a self hosted nvr solution.

  Camera wise, you’ll probably want a power over Ethernet (poe) amcrest or hikvision camera for continuous video to be sent to the nvr to do the detection. A list of recommended hardware is found here.

  I’ll be honest though, depending on where this is you might be better off with a non-self hosted setup. For example, reolink makes several battery/solar powered wifi cameras that record on motion, shooting notifications to your phone. No cables to run

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anybody out there self hosting Searxing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only annoyance I’ve had with it is searches will sometimes default to another language, even though I set the language to only return English results.

  Also, I’ve found that the image/map search capabilities are less performant than googles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Kagy web browser worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say def try searxng first. It turns out I mainly wanted a clean display of results instead of “better” results then Google. No ads, no ai shit. Kagi was nice but the difference didn’t justify a paid service for me, vs selfhosting.

  I will say that I find searxng image search to be lacking, same with maps.

  I was looking into team speak and found this video that captures someone else’s experience.

  Tldw; lots of super neat features, some clunky interfaces that maybe highlight how used to discord we’ve gotten

  I self host to take control of that back.

  In case anyone’s interested, there’s actually open-source self-hosted robot vacuum firmware for select models

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replacing a small business windows server⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For frigate, you don’t need to have object detection on, if you’ll know what times to look for for footage. You can also just use the CPU for object detection, but ymmv based on performance. FWIW the coral tpu I use for detection cost like $50.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you understand why folks are upset though?

  I have not had to look at the code for any other self-hosted application when considering whether or not to use it. You can say that this is a self-levied requirement due to the suspicions of vibe-coding, and I’d fully agree.

  I took a quick peek at your github profile, and you’ve been working on FOSS stuff before LLMs were a thing (thank you!), suggesting that you are more likely to actually know what you’re doing. However when you say you vibe-coded up an application, you’ve placed yourself in the same bucket as the vibe-coder who’s ai agent deleted a database despite being instructed that there was a code freeze. Yes, it was a developing product, and not prod, but yeah you’ve advertised that you use the same tools and techniques as this guy, which does not inspire confidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I correct that a few of you are mad that I included dockerfiles and docker compose examples in the repo? Where did I go wrong?

  No, we’re not upset about docker. Did you read the majority of my last comment?

  Correct. Saying you “vibe-coded” something up suggests that you didn’t do it yourself, or at least was only loosely invested in it. If you didn’t put much time into it, then it’s not as vetted for folks. Running your code on someones homelab is then akin to pushing the new grads vibe-coded refactor into prod, which I think we all know is a bad idea. The mitigation for that is for the user to vet the code themselves, which we already asserted earlier doesn’t really happen in practice. So we have two options, either push the vibe-coded refactor into prod, or acknowledge that we’ve introduced an additional requirement onto the users to vet the code themselves. Both are not ideal. I’m proposing that it is that friction that you’ve introduced that folks are upset about. The docker issue was just brought up as an example of what could go bad by running poorly vetted code on a machine.
