I am enjoying this show more and more as it gets more political.

But what about the rare third "data"?

[-] Alk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

No because that puts human life in danger and is not comparable.

Another option is to use one of their routers like the cloud gateway which supports an NVME drive. That device can run Protect as well for a small number of doorbells/cameras. More cost effective if you also wanted a router.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they can. Recordings are all local, pattern recognition is local, users are local, etc. I have never tried to cut it off from the internet completely because I want to use the doorbell while I'm away, but I don't see why it couldn't be. They do have frequent software updates though which need internet to install.

I have a local UNVR that stores my recordings and runs the unifi protect app that controls all of my cameras.

This might also work for the normal g4, the ssh instructions might apply.

Don't tell my partner, my argument for justifying this doorbell purchase would fall apart.

Well, this is dull men's club, and that isn't very dull. But if you insist, lightning struck and the power surge destroyed my doorbell. Luckily and strangely, that was the only thing damaged.

It also gave me an excuse to buy a cool new doorbell. I'm not made of money, but I certainly can't go without a doorbell right? And certainly, I only bought this one because it uses PoE and my PoE is already behind surge protection so the same thing can't happen again. It had nothing to do with how cool this doorbell is, and everything to do with safety, of course.

It seems the embedded video may not work. You will have to click the link. It’s just blahaj.zone’s peertube instance.

Here are details: https://github.com/kapowaz/doorbell-tool

Here is the doorbell: https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/cameras-nvrs/uvc-g4-doorbell-pro

I made the gif custom for the doorbell, converted from another higher quality and larger gif.

I still find joy in it. I work in tech support but I also am setting up my first homelab with ubiquiti gear and I'm having a lot of fun. Some parts are cobbled together from bits I can get free or cheap and those are the most fun. I don't have a lot of money and that keeps it interesting.

I will carry the torch and have enough fun for the lot of us. I hope you have just as much fun doing what you're doing.

Because you're using LLMs. AI is more than that. LLMs are generally the worst of it.

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.

I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.

Also, it's possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.

I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.

I am currently on Pop OS.

I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.

  1. I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.

  2. I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.

2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.

  1. I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.

  2. I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.

  3. I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.

  4. Wayland is neat

  5. Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.

Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.

Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.

KDE Neon user edition

Opensuse tumbleweed

Kubuntu

Endeavor OS

Debian

Manjaro

Bazzite

Mint Debian edition

Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.

I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.

Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s

Thank you all for your advice in advance.

I am bad at the game, and I often fly my ships too fast towards a space station and can't stop in time. I've never heard that warning and NOT blown up seconds afterwards.
