Oh fuck yeah! So much of my research into new tools is just checking to see if they have a demo, documentation, and price.

When I’m looking for a new tool, I don’t have the time to schedule a “quick” 20 minute call to do introductions and schedule a follow-up hour long meeting followed by a quote sent over in an email days later only to find out the price is so far outside the range there is no way it’s ever going to happen!

I’m not some useless middle manager looking for any excuse to look busy; I don’t have that kind of time to waste!

Split the difference, Lemmy Ask Lemmy.

Ah, so the answer is just to get high!

I used MotionEye at one point to monitor my laundry using a RPi nano and a USB webcam. Pretty sure it just ended up with a web interface I could pull up on phone or computer on the local network.

The old washer liked to lie about how long was left in the cycle and was in the basement while my computer was upstairs.
