I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware… but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.
I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.
For non cloud cams, someone posted here a while back about thingno firmware, takes cheap cams off the cloud. Works great on a wyze cam and was a gamechanger for me. Sttrroonngglllyyy recommend
Well, maybe. If thou is for peasants, then the implication the commandments are directed specifically at the non-royal?
I love the hubris of this argument. It’s the identical construction of guys who say a woman must be a lesbian if they reject thier advances.
My roommate had a butterfly knife in his room and I wanted to play with it. I was drunk and my hands were greasy from eating KFC.
It slipped (more like threw it at the ground) due to incompetence and impairment and greasy KFC hands. I didn’t want it to get mashed on the ground so I used my lighting fast reflexes to catch a knife I just threw. Point first. Into my palm. My greasy drunk palm.
Cleaned up the evidence as best I could. Put it back. Should 100% have gone to get it stitched up, but didn’t, and ended up with some nerve damage and scar tissue crowding some tendons.
I haven’t really retold this story in a long time. As I’m typing this…
Steady uptick in trick or treaters over the last 3 years. I think the neighborhood demographic is shifting to having more kids in the area.
We have a pretty large population of new immigrants in the area too, many with kids, and I think they weren’t super familiar with the concept of Halloween when they arrived. I mean… it does sound kinda insane if you didn’t grow up with it.
But I think they’ve realized that yes, it is a real thing… strangers will happily shovel candy at your children when they knock on a door.
Makes me very happy, it’s such a community building event. I was explaining to my newish-to-canada wife that as a kid it’s almost better than Christmas. As fun as Christmas is, as a kid you’re still the passenger. Halloween you actually have some agency… what are you going to dress up as? Who do you want to trick or treat with? What route do you want to take? What candy do you want to barter with your friends afterwards?
What mean? Is just thing alien ant do. Alien Ant wake up. Alien ant eat breakfast. Alien ant farm. Alien ant go bed.
Keeping anything at any temperature different than whatever it’s interacting with takes energy. Hot or cold.
Sometimes.
In those cases, “there isn’t a yes/no answer to your question because…”
I ask my jrs simple yes/no questions all the time.
Did you open a PR? Does it pass the CI pipeline? Did you write a test for scenario X?
I’m here to help you, but my time is unfortunately limited. If it takes half of our available time just to drag out of you where you’re at we’re all worse off for it.
I did a wyze cam 3 yesterday too lol.
So far so good!
If this does what it says it’ll do, this is ABSOLUTELY the answer
Yeah! If you can find the manual for your microwave (can usually find a pdf one online) there should be instructions on how to do it. Usually a wacky sequence of buttons you gotta press and hold.
Really depends on your home, but a few that I had…
If you have wood floors, a bulk pack of sticky felt pads for furniture you buy to not scratch them up
Robot vacuum (or vac/mop)
Basic power tools
Electric lawn mower/weed whacker that uses the SAME BATTERIES as your power tools
if you’re a nerd and wanna do “smart home” stuff, don’t buy smart lights, buy smart switches
a touchless live-wire tester
A label maker
Big pack of furnace filters
an accordion folder thingy for the billions of documents you’ll wanna keep (receipts/user manuals for appliances), property tax assessments, etc
Bulk pack of lightbulbs with the same colour temperature (it looks idiotic if all your lights are different hues)
nail-in picture frame hangers, wall anchors (they’re YOUR walls now!)
keycode deadbolt
most microwaves have a way to enable “silent mode”, do that
water sensors (smart if possible), put under your hot water tank and dishwasher
double check your laundry room drain actually has a slope to it, and isn’t the damn high point in the room
if you’re not living with a romantic partner… I’d suggest not blowing your budget decorating… Let them have the space to feel like they can make the space thiers as well, and accept that means some of your decorations are going to be retired
Ah shit I edited my post to dial back the snark, but this comment is on point
Edit: I’d originally written a response that matched your tone, and realized after a smoke that it’s needlessly confrontational and snarky, so I’m going to take another shot.
I don’t mean to imply that it’s imperative that you don’t make your own screws.
If you wanna make your own screws, go ahead, but I still don’t think you should 3D print them. There are existing tools to do that which are cheap, simple, and will produce vastly superior screws. Also cheaper. A tap and die set is your answer there.
Also, if you want to leverage your 3D printer, use it for what it is actually good at which is creating complex bespoke geometries. Design your components with interlocking geometries such that you don’t NEED screws.
Screws exist as the convenient solution to a manufacturing problem, being that it’s often easier to create complex geometries by producing a set of simpler geometries and then fastening them together. The underlying problem goes away if you can print arbitrarily complex components.
If you think you gotta 3D print screws, you’re probably not even actually leveraging the new technology to its fullest extent anyways, you’re still designing with an old paradigm despite having new options.
I think you’ve completely missed the point.
We produce screws at industrial quantities, out of various materials, lengths, heads, pitches, etc etc etc.
The industrial scaling of this production results in screws being really really inexpensive. So inexpensive that depending on quantity you’re looking at, the finished screws are no more expensive to you than the raw materials.
Yeah you can print a screw. The question is why?. It will be more expensive per unit, more labour intensive, of worse quality, and will do wear and tear to equipment you own. It’s a lose/lose/lose/lose.
The one exception is that it is some mystical bespoke screw. And even then, it is likely that there are traditional methods which would better achieve that end (buy some screws that you can develop a process to modify in order to meet your needs)
It’s a good analogy. Yes you CAN 3D print a screw. It doesn’t mean it’s appropriate or even economical to include them in your products. Yes you CAN vibe code something. It doesn’t mean it’s appropriate or even economical to include them in your products.
Just buy it yourself. Don’t make a kid do it.
If you’re just running a few services, and will only ever be running a few services, I agree with you.
The additional burden of starting with proxmox (which is really just debian) is minimal and sets you up for the inevitable deluge of additional services you’ll end up wanting to run in a way that’s extensible and trivially snapshotable.
I was pretty bullish on “I don’t need a hypervisor” for a long time. I regret not jumping all-in on hypervisors earlier, regardless of the services I plan to run. Is the physical MACHINEs purpose to run services and be headless? Hypervisor. That is my conclusion as for what is the least work overall. I am very lazy.
Easily can have multiple LXCs, and being able to take snapshots for backup is probably a nice thing to have if you’re just learning.
And if they get more hardware, moving VMs to other clustered proxmox instances is a snap.
It’s actually my headcannon that the 3 wise men were 3 teenagers who accidentally time traveled. They blundered into the scene and felt bad and handed over 2 different scents of axe body spray and a handful of chuck E cheese tokens.
Given thier odd dress and incomprehensible language, they were assumed to be foreign and extremely wealthy. Not having any comprehension of the gifts they concluded they must be gold and exotic perfumes.
