Second note, the metal pipe has to be continuously metal from at minimum where it enters the house, don’t trust that if you see a metal water pipe (or drain pipe) that it’s grounded.

Home assistant, and frigate. Along with whatever type of smart lock you choose (even building one with esphome, diy version)

Sounds like a market niche, you could start it up, call it something like “macrosoft”. … then start making scripts that do the work for the user, don’t release the scripts because people pay for them. Let this go on for many years and you find yourself shoving “AI” down your users throats and screenshotting their desktop without explicit permission…

Handle is much different than efficiently calculate.

Just make sure they have substreams and get a coral (or GPU) for detection. Then a pi could probably handle it.

I have enough processing to do it all on CPU (8 cams+doorbell) but it ramps up the power usage, so it was better to use the gpu I already had for transcoding, as detection.

Without you can still just record and overwrite. Not that it’s extremely useful without detection and notifications.

Yes, the issue I have with no sub stream (only on the doorbell) is that it uses more processing for detection on such a large resolution.

The doorbell does, except for no sub stream. And the only way for mine to be setup is their bs app.

I should’ve looked better when buying, but alas. I have this one and I’m lazy.

I have a few. Some try and call home (mostly the doorbell, every 10s). The others are easy to setup and run with frigate.

There are screw together butt connectors, in my experience have a more solid connection than the crimp style as far as pullout is concerned. https://www.posi-products.com/index.html

Holy shit this. And not even “educated” people. Where I work is about half degree holding engineers… many of these engineers were seen outside staring at the partial eclipse Monday.

I have had multiple managers who are incapable of understanding this.

If it were the right hand you could’ve done /24 on the thumb

I thought it was an infection…

~600W. 2 machines: Dell 730 8 disks running multiple Minecraft servers. Supermicro 16 disks in raid 10 running multiple VM for various functions. All on a 6kva ups (overkill I know)

Luckily I have a large solar array.

Audiobookshelf claims to have ebook support. I only use it for audio books so I cannot say whether it’s good for that or not.

It works great for the audio books.

“because software rarely kills” Depends on what you mean by rarely. Therac-25 was extremely dangerous due to a software bug. And this was over 40 years ago.

Industrial robot accidents are a lot more common than needed and almost all are due to software “problems” (bad path planning, bad safety implementation, or just bugs in the control system software)

Yes these things kill less than guns, or cars, or cranes, etc. But they still have affect in a lot of those accidents.

There are very few things anymore that don’t have some kind of logic built into them. Be it software or analog logic, it was still “programmed” or designed. If there was something missed in design, that can easily have adverse affects that can lead to accidents and death not immediately attributed to the software.
