I'm using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.

Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).

It's a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.

Click the first link on a Wikipedia page that is not a date or a pronunciation and is not in italics. Do that on each subsequent page until you get to Philosophy.

The game is to find a subject that is the farthest from Philosophy.

I don't have AC and haven't really needed it this year. I'm way north in New Hampshire.

We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it's warmer out and the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to keep it there.

Dime Store Adventures makes videos about discovering and researching minor historical events.

One of my favorites is when he heard a local legend about the reason one gravestone in a small cemetery is much larger than all the rest. The legend was that the man hated his family so much that he decided to exhaust his estate with the most expensive gravestone possible. He shows how he figures out whether it was true by reading old newspapers and visiting historical societies.

Did you not see how that turned from a really inconsequential disagreement to something emotional and personal almost immediately?

Sure, no single post was particularly toxic on its own. It's the holy war tenor of discussions on Phoronix that all but guarantees that every discussion ends up as a flame war.

That's hilarious.

Suffolk county homicide police make $100k+, with unbelievable benefits. Guys later in their careers can get 200 days of paid time off per year, a very generous pension that cannot be taken away, and take home cars with gas paid for by the county.

They are unbelievably bad at homicide investigations, mostly just following hunches and beating suspects.

The problem isn't just the pay, they are rotten institutions that are beyond repair short of firing most of them at once.

Yes.

Also xManager, a similar tool for Spotify. I'd use revanced for YTmusic, but most people seem to use Spotify and it's nice to be able to share playlists with friends.
