I self hosted a Lemmy instance for a little while, but I stopped over concerns of malicious actors posting CSAM which would then get federated over to my server. I don't have the appetite to deal with that, and I'm glad I shut it down because just a few weeks later there was a big instance of it happening all over Lemmy, and I'm sure I would have had to deal with cleaning it up on my server too. Just something to keep in mind.

Otherwise though, the setup process isn't too complex.

And that choice is Robin Williams. The man was a gem 🥲

I'm 99% sure that it isn't.

Frankly, once you get more than just a few cameras, being able to edit a config file is so much better than having to click through settings for literally hours like with Shinobi or Motioneye.

I've personally been quite pleased with the combination of Frigate and some Amcrest POE cameras. Just make sure the cameras you are getting support RTSP though and you should be able to use them with Frigate.

Also make sure you block the cameras from reaching the public internet using your firewall, and only make them reachable from your Frigate host. Personally I use a VLAN with no internet access and enforce tagging at the switch level (i.e. don't trust the cameras to maintain their own VLAN) settings.

Never leave anything on the toilet tank lid - you may someday have to rush to get it off so that you can push the flapper down and stop any more water from going into the bowl.

I've had a good experience with Onboard.

Yup, as a software dev, I would love to be able to devote all my time to writing open source, but I gotta make money to live as well. Switching to working on OSS would be a huge leap of faith that there is someone out there willing pay/donate for my work. As it is, I think it will be my way of giving back once I have saved up enough money from my proprietary work, and hopefully I will be able to switch over sooner rather than later.

Maybe I'll go take a look at what the process is for getting grants from the government or non-profit orgs like Apache foundation...

I was always taught that you're supposed to slap the load twice while saying "That's not going anywhere" after all the straps are tight, but it might just be a regional thing.

Yeah, you just need to get the third dimension involved to make it work. Pythagoras would be fine with it.

That's the reason you pass on node? Compared to all the others?
