There’s a reason why data hoarders were archiving the entire CDC website (amongst others) once Don won the election.

If you have a powered doorbell, the Reolink cams can be powered by that too.

Gonna throw in another Reolink recommendation. I use Blue Iris as my NVR and have both that and the Reolink integrations in Home Assistant for motion notifications and lighting control. The cameras are durable (even in my very cold temps like -30C) and have really good image quality. If you don’t have an NVR or Home Assistant, the built-in motion detection and app is still pretty good and you can just pop an SD card in for recording.

This is the government’s favourite sport. What do you think all the tariff announcements and later withdrawals are doing?

I’m always curious if a non Android OS would work on these devices with multiple displays. I’d imagine likely only the main display would work without a fair bit of tinkering, which diminishes a fair bit of functionality for a device with 1.5 screens.

Former land surveyor. Was definitely counting my paces when I was not surveying.

Background: you’d often try to capture a grid of points, or cross section of a road, for example, at regular intervals. You’d roughly know your normal stride length conversion to metres, so if I were doing a 10m grid, it’d be: shoot a point, walk 11 paces, shoot a point, repeat for hundreds, sometimes thousands of points. It wasn’t long until you would be counting paces when you weren’t actively surveying.

I went with <function>_<room>. So like motion_garage, or door_office. The function of the device won’t change, so it seemed logical to have it in that order.

It’s also not hard to change names of devices in Zigbee2MQTT and propagate that through HA if a device moves.

There’s a fork called Tubular that implements SponsorBlock as well.

Reagan really fucked some shit up, hey?

In the screenshot, it looks more like the essential toggle is greyed out because it can’t be toggled, while the other two can be and would likely turn blue or something other than grey to indicate they’re on.

The USCSB’s videos on their investigations are quite interesting and well made.

Change that G to a T, add a zero, then we’re talking (e: about data hoarders).

No one could’ve ever seen this coming…

I really hope this becomes the actual end of fossil fuels for common things, because we’ve demonstrated we are otherwise powerless against the oil barons, even when the end of the world is nigh.

I don’t really expect anything to be mainstream for a couple decades, but that’s better than never.

It would’ve been someone else if not Donny. Power has been consolidated in the executive branch for decades, while that of congress and the senate has eroded. A system designed to be trilateral is no longer so when one of the three can just nope out of whatever the other two say. The US has only been fortunate that it’s taken this long to have someone in that office with no morals.

It was already evident in 2010 that something like this was increasingly possible, as noted in Executive Unbound by Eric Posner.

disregarding all instructions

Probably not the best practice…I’d look through the release notes between the versions you’ve upgraded through to be sure you didn’t miss any necessary changes to the docker compose or env files and upgrade as the documentation recommends.

Looks like v2.0.0 was just released as well.

I think they’re organized into individual user directories (in one location), so could probably set up a directory backup per user to their own device if so desired.

Yep, Reolink integrates really well with Home Assistant.

One’s willingness to say, “I don’t know” and a general ability to think critically.

Just today, a friend was yammering on about a situation he clearly had limited information on (Canada Post strike). We’ve aptly described him as confidentially incorrect. Don’t be this person.

The American way.
