YTZero, you mean? It looks like the maintainer is stepping away because of the potential legal jeopardy of dealing with Youtube, so it’s going unmaintained. Which is a damn shame, I’ve used it for a couple months now and love it. I might have to maintain my own fork.
- Comment on Part 3: They said a phone can’t run without a battery. Unfortunately, Pettyl didn’t get the memo. 1 week ago:
put one lead from the battery on a transistor so you can disconnect it with a little ESP or something when you go to power cycle it. Or even just hold down a button to connect it while you plug the phone back in.
- Comment on is K2 horizons historically significant as the first actual open-source LLM, or am I falling for hype? 1 week ago:
You might find this informative about the state of open models: stateofopensource.ai

I get no popups with FF mobile and ublock origin

I might actually try Frigate again, it looks like they’ve made a pile of improvements.
- Comment on Last week, I posted a pic of my Vevor setup. I just finished my first brew and these are my thoughts so far 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like the crush was too fine on the grain. IDK if you milled it yourself, but you don’t want it like flour, more like very coarse sand.
- Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate 2 weeks ago:
IMO, they have nothing over BI, and as I said, the UX is very weird. I tried it again maybe 6 months ago when I needed to renew BI and it wasn’t winning me over.
- Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate 2 weeks ago:
Yah, that was where I figured it was going too, which was why I figured it went closed source.
Give it a try if Frigate doesn’t work out, it’s been trying to go paid for a few years now I think, but it doesn’t seem likely they’ll be able to knock off BI with what they have going there.
- Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate 2 weeks ago:
Shinobi? Iirc, it was open source once upon a time. I always found it had a very weird interface and UX but ymmv.
- Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate 2 weeks ago:
Very rudimentary. It was what I started with when I was trying to roll my own, and I had to tack on anything to deal with PTZ and alert automation.
- Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I can get it working well enough. But it’s really bare of features. PTZ is a mess to get working. Motion-sensor control is very non-intuitive. The mobile app is a PWA.
BI completely outclasses it, in so many directions. It’s ONVIF self-configuration is flawless. The AI object recognition lets you use multiple backends if you don’t want to use the CodeProject one they ship. Automations are very easy to set up and clone/slave to other cameras. The WebUI is almost as full featured as the desktop client. The mobile app is it’s own beast and can easily jump between servers. Support gets back to you quickly.
I could go on, but it’s not even a contest currently. Maybe someone that has hours upon hours to work on Frigate would be able to configure the same things, but it’s not at all easy.
I’d absolutely love to go with something opensource and I keep trying to find something, hell, I’ve tried to build it myself. But I’m not hopeful that I’m going to find enough reason to stop paying $70/yr for anything that’s even half as good.
But good luck.

That would seem to be the bare minimum for an NVR.
- Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate 2 weeks ago:
I try Frigate about once a year and go right back to Blue Iris very quickly. I wish I could say otherwise.

Good to see Mullenweg gone, what a shitbird. And complaining he didn’t have time to have the resolution reviewed before the vote. Matt, that’s the exact sort of bullshit behaviour you would have committed if the shoe were on the other foot. So quit crying and go code or something.
- Comment on DigitalOcean contributes 3 million and joins the Omacom (Omarchy) Foundation 3 weeks ago:
Well, you see, it’s somehow using AI and it’s run by a dick.
What’s not to love about it?
- Comment on Self-hosted TV interface solutions 3 weeks ago:
Huh. Must have gotten someone to take over, last I’d heard the maintainer was archiving it. At least according to Chris on Linux Unplugged a couple months ago.
- Comment on Self-hosted TV interface solutions 3 weeks ago:
Its Lemmy, don’t expect too much.
- Comment on Self-hosted TV interface solutions 3 weeks ago:
Probably because those android set-top boxes are usually malware top to bottom.

Abandon ware now

LibreElec, Umbrella addon and a premiumize subscription.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (4 September 2026) by @eshol 4 weeks ago:
How was it “designed for the winner”? Proposals to a resolution vote are submitted and seconded, with no restrictions on who, how many or what proposals are added, you just have to be a voting member of the ML. You can look at the list of proposal sponsors and the seconds to see how that’s done.
- Comment on what causes this? 4 weeks ago:
I’d say that first layer is being sliced for an overextrusion and is accounting for the wider line it makes. It doesn’t want to run over the outside wall, so it stops short and because it’s less lines per mm, you end up with those gaps. Note how many more lines per inch (mm) you’re getting on the second layer, though to me those lines are more of a problem than the bottom layer since they barely seem to be touching each other, reducing strength a lot. They started out on the right side better pressed, and that might be a bed leveling issue.
- Comment on Solar Has Crossed a Critical Economic Tipping Point | Solar now requires no more upfront capital than coal or gas to produce the same annual electricity 4 weeks ago:
It’s mainly there as a form of farm subsidy that bypasses restrictions thrown up by long-existing trade agreements. Canada provides no farm subsidies besides underwriting crop and moisture insurance premiums to an extent, but the US has a long history of flouting these restrictions.
As usual. Coincidentally it provides money for equipment manufacturers and inputs providers like Deere and Cargill. But I’m sure that’s just a happy coincidence of providing “food security”.

To be fair, NG was sunshine at one point.

Biofuels: the least efficient form of solar power one could possibly invent.
- Comment on My domain is accessible from external networks but not from my internal network. Might anyone know why? 4 weeks ago:
You need to turn on hairpin NAT somewhere on advanced settings iirc.
- Comment on Last week I had zero 3d printers, now I've got 3 4 weeks ago:
I had someone tell me it was running Klipper. I’m just worried about them shipping it with a custom firmware that they lock down, like Bambu did.
But I’m stoked about the 4-toolhead design, if it had cut/drill heads as well, I’d be all over it for PCB milling as well since enclosed and I could rig up a vac.

Is that U1 entirely software agnositic? No chance of vendor lockin?
- Comment on What is your cloud backup solution? 5 weeks ago:
I do this as well, offsite USB drive copy of backups from my PBS server that gets rotated every week for 4 weeks.
I only have a couple TB of important or irreplaceable data. I’m not backing up music or shows, I can just download that if I need it.

I don’t imagine you end up with any head on your beer after this, especially coconut milk (which the thought of makes me gag, but you do you).
