  Fixing a Nvidia driver mismatch that was causing the newest kernel module to not build properly (that might not be the right terminology) and not boot was on my list, as discovered after a node reboot that wouldn’t start.

  It was fairly straightforward, though finding a way to fully remove some of the old DKMS stuff took a bit of digging (manually delete a couple files). The new driver installs went smoothly and the improved GPU passthrough in PVE 9 made the passthrough config tasks pretty quick.

  I also got go2rtc set up and piped my cameras through that instead of having individual connections for things like Home Assistant and Blue Iris NVR. I’m still struggling to get the motion notifications in Home Assistant to work though. Followed a tutorial on (that other site) and got the MQTT message coming in just fine, but the node-red flow isn’t working…an issue with entities, so still some tinkering left to do there.

  Please do share your Cloudflare notes.

  Mine ID’d a cursed shrek face from someone wearing a costume at a Mexican resort.

  What heat are you referring to? Refrigeration simply moves heat using electricity to pump refrigerant through a cycle of physical changes, aka heat pumps.

  Looks cool. Any chance you’ll add Qobuz to the integration list in the future?

  I replayed Subnautica in VR with the mentioned mod not too long ago. It’s an environment that’s perfect for VR and really puts the scale of things in perspective. I found some of the leviathans were a little janky in their movement sometimes, but they were still quite terrifying.

  Interesting how it varies across the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, I haven’t seen bagged milk for quite a while where I live in Canada. It’s typically cartons for 2L or less (though sometimes mini plastic jugs too) and plastic jugs as in OP for 4L.

  Benn Jordan did a recent video on his…explorations of Flock cameras. Essentially, they’re easily hackable and really should be an urgent matter of national security.

  This looks terrible to use. /c/ergomechkeyboards are where the real ergonomic keyboards are at.

  I don’t doubt that Canadian PDs are drooling over any potential of using them in Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👁️ 👁️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Relevant video I saw posted elsewhere on Lemmy today.

  Tl;dw: Flock cameras are alarmingly easily hackable and many of their security and efficacy claims on their website are outright false.

  Not surprising in the slightest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making The Internet And Our Devices User Friendly Once Again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the focus of the article is more on using services deliberately rather than pure privacy, and I think the all or nothing approach to thinking of online privacy as you mention detracts from any positive effects of the little things people just starting their journey may try.

  Those big companies don’t care about you. Every small step taken toward privacy is beneficial, even if it’s just eliminating one data point at a time. If you make it harder to find your info, they aren’t going to hire a PI to track you down, there are plenty of easier marks to chase.

  The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cams, anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have a powered doorbell, the Reolink cams can be powered by that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cams, anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna throw in another Reolink recommendation. I use Blue Iris as my NVR and have both that and the Reolink integrations in Home Assistant for motion notifications and lighting control. The cameras are durable (even in my very cold temps like -30C) and have really good image quality. If you don’t have an NVR or Home Assistant, the built-in motion detection and app is still pretty good and you can just pop an SD card in for recording.

  It would’ve been someone else if not Donny. Power has been consolidated in the executive branch for decades, while that of congress and the senate has eroded. A system designed to be trilateral is no longer so when one of the three can just nope out of whatever the other two say. The US has only been fortunate that it’s taken this long to have someone in that office with no morals.

  It was already evident in 2010 that something like this was increasingly possible, as noted in Executive Unbound by Eric Posner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't zoom on immich⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  disregarding all instructions

  Probably not the best practice...I'd look through the release notes between the versions you've upgraded through to be sure you didn't miss any necessary changes to the docker compose or env files and upgrade as the documentation recommends.

  Looks like v2.0.0 was just released as well.

  I think they’re organized into individual user directories (in one location), so could probably set up a directory backup per user to their own device if so desired.
