Sweet!

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Things I've learned about Frigate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

I don’t have an external GPU either, just the onboard Intel graphics is what I use now. Also worth mentioning to use integrated graphics your Docker Compose needs:

devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128

I’m not using substreams. I have 2 cameras and the motion detection doesn’t stress the CPU too much. If I add more cameras I’d consider using substreams for motion detection to reduce the load.

Your still frames in Home Assistant are the exact problem I was having. If your cameras really do need go2rtc to reduce connections (my wifi camera doesn’t seem to care), you might try changing your Docker container to network_mode: host and see if that fixes it.

Here’s my config. Most of the notations were put there by Frigate and I’ve de-identified everything. Notice at the bottom go2rtc is all commented out, so if I want to add it back in I can just remove the #s. Hope it helps.

That CPU has UHD Graphics 750 which is newer than mine which has 730. Should work quite nicely.

Sounds like LXC is the way to go to pass a Coral through. Not sure why it’s so flaky with the Debian VM.

I’ll keep an eye out for that. So far the Inference Speed is holding stead at 8.47ms.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Things I've learned about Frigate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
That’s good to hear. That reinforces my suspicion that my problems were caused by passing it through to the virtual machine using Proxmox.

You might be interested in trying to enable the YOLOv9 models. The developer claims they are more accurate, and so far I’m tempted to agree.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Things I've learned about Frigate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
You seem a bit more network savvy than me. All I could figure is the Frigate integration (also HACS for me) talks to Frigate and asks it where to get the video from. If go2rtc is enabled in Frigate, the integration tries to stream from go2rtc. Without my Docker stack being in host network mode, it wouldn’t work for me.

With no go2rtc, the Frigate integration asks Frigate where to get the stream, and it’s told to get it from the camera from what I can tell.

All just guesses on my end. Hopefully I don’t sound too sure of myself because I’m not really sure.

I had a similar progression except I haven’t heard of Dockhand until now. I’ll give it a look.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
1. Portainer is practical, but I switched to Dockge and have been much happier with it. It doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles, but the simplicity makes the workflow much better for me. Give both a try!
2. FreshRSS for RSS feeds, Lubelogger for tracking car (other other things) maintenance, Nginx Proxy Manager for a reverse proxy (or Caddy which is also popular). Whatever you fancy!
3. Not sure.
Regarding domain name, use what you have. It’s super easy to change domain names, and some people do it regularly to take advantage of 1st year sales. Basically all you have to do is transfer your DNS entries to the new domain, and update your reverse proxy entries.

Definitely put everything behind a reverse proxy. I followed this advice so I don’t even have to expose ports using Docker. Everything runs through the reverse proxy, and Dockge makes it trivial add each container to the same network.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I say kill 'em all.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Citronella candles and torches don’t repel mosquitos, but they mask the scent of humans. This helps, but not 100%.

DEET doesn’t mask your scent, so mosquitos are still attracted to you. Once they land on your skin, though, they fly away immediately. Very effective.

Propane based traps work very well for collecting large numbers of mosquitos. There isn’t a definitive answer on whether they reduce the local mosquito population over time. The idea is that if large numbers are killed, it will reduce the local breeding.

Thermacell brand mosquito repellers are, IMO, magic. They output a light mist which keeps mosquitoes away. They only work with little to no wind, and they take 15 minutes to warm up and start working. I thought they were a gimmick, but wow. They use a chemical and refills are a little pricey but 100% worth it. The refills last a very long time. It might be giving me cancer, but so is everything else.

I may have gotten sucked into the .ml user’s what-about-ism, but I started off by just trying to point out the flaw in their logic.

System, personal choice, whatever – it doesn’t really matter because .ml user is trying to spin facts to support their agenda. I don’t know what their agenda is other than just being contentious.

Ah, so you do understand there’s a difference in why someone would chose one type of transportation over another.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I think your logic is flawed. The discussion is about a specific form of transportation. By your own logic, you should be suggesting that people fly everywhere.

Depending on the group using it, you can apply for a Community plan to enable mobile push notifications. I do wish Zulip would use UnifiedPush or something like that, or even allow your own ntfy setup, but I’m placated by the Community plan.

Zulip paywalls mobile notifications, but you can apply for a Community subscription which is free, and includes mobile notifications.

IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don’t know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that’s a standard thing that everyone knows.

Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.

IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there’s obviously something lacking from IRC.

Tiny yes, but IMO getting the attention of computer gamers needs to be the next step if a Linux flavor is going to become a household name.

Even if it’s “SteamOS” that becomes the household name instead of “Linux” that’s still good overall. Maybe it’ll turn into how people used to say they had “Droid” smartphones, not Android.

Do it again, but select 50GB chunks. This will produce fewer files.

Use immich-go to do the importing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Backup Solutions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I've never had to restore a backup (yet), but to me this is the best feature of Restic.

I used Duplicati for a while (I think it was Duplicati, not Duplicacy) and although the backups seemed to work, I kept reading about people having trouble during the restore process.

Restic is a slight chore to get set up with the environmental variables, figuring out which directories to "--ignore", etc... but man once it's set up it's just great.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Backup Solutions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I'm not sure I fully grasp what you want, but Restic is excellent. I use a cronjob to back up on a schedule. It's command line only. I think there's a tool to make it a GUI but I haven't tried it. They have a Docker image available but it's weird, you have to pass commands to it, it runs, then shuts down when it's done. I love Docker but that didn't quite work for me.

I use Backblaze B2 for storage, but any S3 will do. Restic supports all sorts of storage targets.

Credentials and things go in an .env file, or you can put everything into the command line every time.

When it's time to restore things, you can fricken mount the whole backup you want and browse the files, copy and paste what you need, etc. That part is really cool to me.

Backblaze is $5 or $6 USD per TB per month, so 500GB will be about $36USD a year.
