I have Frigate running with a reverse proxy, a coral, etc. I just use the internal Intel GPU on my CPU and it works with a 1080p and a not-quite-4k stream (4MP maybe?). It’s no sweat for the hardware.

GPU is only used to detect motion, and you can even configure a lower resolution sub-stream from your cameras to reduce that load, but I don’t think you’ll need to.

Once motion is detected, Frigate fires up the coral to determine what is there. A car, dog, person, etc.

I have everything get recorded with no processing to a single WD Purple, the biggest I could afford. It holds months of video before rewriting over old stuff.

I have Amcrest cameras which are rebranded Dahua I think. I’m relatively happy with them, but I’ve always dreamed of owning Axis cameras, though they are a bit pricey. My cameras are on a VLAN that can’t access the internet.

Hope that helps.

I have 2 computers with KDE which I’ve been using for the past 6 months or so. I recently read about how to switch to Wayland (log out, find the option, log back in). Both of my computers were using X11, not sure why. Maybe I chose that during installation.

I switched both to Wayland and I’m going to do my best to stick to it. One of my computers has an older Nvidia card but luckily I don’t seem to have any problems.

Purely anecdotal, but maybe a large part of the 27% using X11 don’t even know the difference.

I’m not an expert, but I think we need more information.

Sounds good to me.

I can only speculate, but PieFed seems great for a community like blahaj. It makes it super easy root out disrespectful users.

One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.

On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.

I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.

I’ve certainly seen some toxic .ee users which jives with your theory.

I use apps on my phone, but have no clue how to troubleshoot them. I have programs on my computer that I hardly know how to use, let alone know the inner workings of. How is running things in Docker any different? Why put down people who have an interest in running things themselves?

I know you’re just trying to answer the above question of “why do it the hard way”, but it struck me as a little condescending. Sorry if I’m reading too much into it!

To access things outside of your LAN (for example from your phone while at the grocery store), each service gets a DuckDNS entry. “service.myduckdns.com” or whatever.

Your phone will look for service.myduckdns.com on port 443, because you’ll have https:// certificates and that all happens on port 443.

When that request eventually gets to your router and is trying to penetrate your firewall, you’ll need 443 open and forwarded to your Debian machine.

So yes, you have it right.

Also forward port 80.

That question is a little bit out of the scope of a forum like this. A question like that would better be answered by the nginx documentation. Sometimes the project documentation might have a blurb about nginx configuration specific for that project. For example, Immich.

For the most part, you only have to reference the nginx documentation. I’ve never looked at the Immich config above until now, and my Immich server works great.

I’ve had a reverse proxy for years, but the config files are very foreign to me because I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager. NPM makes nginx usable for dummies like me, at the expense of gaining a deeper understanding of how it works. I’m ok with that, but you might feel differently.

I’m not up to date on the current market, but I have Ikea blinds that are battery operated which I control from HA. The batteries are rechargeable, and the batteries themselves have micro-USB ports for charging.

One option would be to buy these, see what kind of charging port they come with these days, and try to make some physical modifications to jam a USB connector in there. From there, you just have to figure out the solar part. A lot of solar charge controllers have USB ports which should work to charge the battery, but they are clunky and you’d have to mount it on the wall probably.

For what it’s worth, the batteries in these shades last quite a long time… Looking at one of them, I last charged it in September 2024, and it’s still at 72%. It goes up/down at least once a day I’d say.

It’s run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they’re both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I’m trying not to use the pejoritve “tankie”).

Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, ends up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.

They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn’t be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.

By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be – a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

!linux@lemmy.world and !linux@programming.dev have my support since I boycott .ml whenever possible.

Looks like you can add these sensors. Verify on the product page, though. I only just looked at the WS-5000.

I agree with Ambient Weather. Spend as much as you’re comfortable with. Make sure it has a WiFi base station. I’m using this integration installed through HACS. It’s solid.

For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.

One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

There are various ways to use it, yeah.
