IDK how Frigate handles alerts, but Blue Iris will write an alert to MQTT topic if it matches object recog, and I have an app MQTT Alert that watches that and goes nuts if it comes up. The BI android app is underwhelming in its alerts.

I’d have to figure Frigate has some sort of MQTT capability. I tried using Frigate but it was pretty basic for my needs, so I moved on.

Three Body Problem

What kind of cancer is this website? Some fukcing “pur” subscription required.

The algorithm loses some victims for a few years, maybe

Doesn’t feel like Christmas without the smell of a real tree. I go out back and cut a small one.

I’m starting to think that maybe a responsible country like Eqypt or Lebanon might be better able to take care of the historical treasures of France.

Crockpot.

there’s a box at the bottom of that page for them to help assess interest from other countries, supposedly. It never asked me for anything other than my email, idk if they’re geolocating the IP to know where people are signing up from.

I’m tempted, because I really like SailfishOS when I used it on an Experia, it’s such an intuitive interface for gestures. But I’ve never spent that much on a phone, and no guarantee it’ll work in my neck of the woods.

Glad to see they hit their target and I’ll be watching.

Good luck Dan. You have an uphill battle.

Idk who the fuck decided monochrome was a good idea. It’s so goddamn ugly and impractical. Must have been a rust dev

Edit: 7 rust devs with no sense of humor and counting.

I use Matrix with the Jitsi plugin. I know everyone talks shit about Matrix, it’s been flawless for me.

IDK about watching videos, that’s a lot to ask of a screensharing app.

Yah, that’s a PWM charger. You’d likely see up to another third more power stored with an MPPT at temperatures below freezing from my experience running various offgrid livestock pumping systems over the years. I still use old PWM controllers on things like fencers because they’re pretty low draw, but I haven’t bought a PWM for years now since MPPT prices came down to earth.

Just a suggestion, idk what your particular scenario is but it sounds like you’re running out of power pretty quick. And for batteries, I’ve personally moved to LFP with heaters in insulated boxes for the sheer life expectancy, power density and reliability compared to LA in cold temperatures. But I wouldn’t say it’s the cheapest way to do things.

Well, I guess whatever camera you get should give you a power requirement and you can work backwards from there as to storage and panel requirement. My off the cuff notion would say you’ll need a deep cycle or a group 31 of 100aH to last for a day or two depending on weather and length of day, and lithium batteries will get plating if you try to charge below freezing so they’re out.

It’s all in the math, then double it because nature hates you.

Do you have an MPPT charger or a PWM? The amount of extra power you get off your panels in winter can be significant with a good MPPT charger because it isn’t clipping the higher voltage/power you get in cold.

Grab a regular ethernet connected camera with 12V supply and ONVIF compatible (most PTZ cameras like Amcrest or Vikylon are 12V), and a OpenWRT router like GLiNet’s cheapo units in bridge mode. They have a wireguard VPN active already, you just need to get it set up. Then you specify what subnet the inside of that router is so you can get to the camera, and access it via IP.

Put down a car battery, a cheap MPPT charger and a panel or two. The PowMr charge controllers have a couple of USB ports on them to power the router and they’re $50.

Been running my email server on a resi IP for two decades, without PTR records, and never had to deal with a blacklist by any major players. Maybe because I’m not on some big ISP.

It’s fine if you use the AIO or do some specific things on baremetal like Postgres and Redis. I’ve used in virtually every format over the last dozen years, and you eventually learn what works.

Bitching about nextcloud seems to be some people’s hobby around here.
