Ghost in the machine (sh.itjust.works)

I have a rig running frigate that runs all the cameras for a local business. The openvino detectors are suddenly acting up and I’m not sure why just yet. They are slow, even when there’s nothing to figure out. They just seem busy all the fucking time. 

I’m troubleshooting this after hours and aside from a piece of string art being blown around a bit by the heating vents, absolutely nothing is moving. The detectors have no fucking idea what it is which does amuse me on some level but there’s another layer of absurdity to this. 

This is starlight shop that used to be a funeral home. The computer is trying to detect things and seemingly overwhelmed by the attempt even where there is no motion for it to detect objects in. It sees nothing but it doesn’t trust it. 

The computer is trying to comprehend ghosts. 

I should do cocaine about it.

sudo dnf install cocaine

Nothing is using resources. I only see my 3 ov detectors taking around 60ms in frigate. Htop shows barely a hiccup.

Did you perhaps receive an unattended upgrade to Frigate?

Nope, frigate is the latest version it was also the same version when it was working fine. Fedora also wasn’t updated right before this started.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
