He explained it all to his wife before his death, but she refused to share the key points with other scientists.

You’re taking about this? It won’t sit flat on its back, rocking around every time you tap it.

Pretty well packed with sensors isn’t it?

Some reolink cameras (B800 for sure) scramble the encoding to lock them to reolink NVRs. I used two of them with frigate by running neolink because fuck vendor lock in

I had problems with the 0.6.x series but 0.5.18 ran well enough. I abandoned those cams because they would occasionally switch to sending static to frigate and locking it down.

There is a dlna server but it has “totally unintentional” memory leaks that cause it to crash after a few days and they refuse to fix.

Well, they were designed as fighters. The kamakazi part came later

Because reviewers started obsessing with zero bezels and thinness, so manufacturers had to also maximize those things.

I saw a laptop review where there was a hole punch camera, so no mechanical shutter. The yt personality thought that was stupid, so they asked the manufacturer what they were thinking. “Our last product had the shutter but you gave it a poor review because the bezels were too big. We designed for smaller bezels to get a better review”

I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.

My modem is plugged into that.

I’ve never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn’t fucking with it and did something stupid ill-advised, so I don’t try that kind of stuff unless I’m home.

Can you imagine if Kentucky Nurse and Florida Man had a baby? They could be the hero America needs!

To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-

My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I “fixed it” by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by “fixed it” I really mean “got it working”

So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.

Behold: a blatant visual indicator

And those demographics are very susceptible to marketing and peer pressure. The chat bubble colors are designed to make you think of alternative phone users as outcasts. Used to be the same with photos and videos in MMS.

By your late 20s most people don’t give a shit about being labeled outcast, but by then you’re locked into their ecosystem.

You know what you can do with gun permits? The same things you can do with voting restrictions.

You’ve watched Google,Facebook, and apple do it the last 20 years. If a good idea is spotted early enough, they buy the whole company before they can make it to market and grow to become a threat. It happens in any emerging tech and you’re watching it happen now in the LLM space. Companies burn cash, waiting for their competitors to make a mistake or run out of money. Then they buy out the struggling company, absorbing any tech they might have, maybe some branding, but more importantly- their customers. Now they can jack up prices once market forces are eliminated.
If not for the threat of anti-trust laws, you would see single company rule in every single sector. That is the end goal of a company- a monopoly that crushes potential competition and squeezes consumers.
Railroads, telephone, petroleum, internet, airlines, all ended up as regional monopolies.

I keep my Linux ISOs on mergerfs over NFS via open media vault. All of them are easily replaced so I don’t bother backing them up.

Nextcloud, paperless, and photos get their whole image backed up on proxmox local, and a remote PBS. I’m the only user so the sizes are quite manageable.

In motor controls and power distribution, 600V three phase is low voltage. Up to 69,000 volts is “medium” voltage lol

Can’t be THAT high a pressure on a cast valve and rubber gaskets
