Ah ok thanks, so just to be clear, when you come home it will still "alert" you to an "intruder" (until your GPS updates presumably).

That's cool, so with the AI chip it can recognize individuals people and pets? Just wondering how you prevent it from alerting you for well, you.

Last I looked into this Frigate was the most robust path to take, they recommend cameras that are about $50-$100 each but in my playing around I connected a Yi camera ($10) with custom firmware.

That said it was all a bit over my head and I had trouble connecting it to home assistant and gave up

I would love a follow up post with whatever setup you go with!

Ha! That's on me for not reading until the end, thanks for that.

That's a good quote, I know she didn't mean it this way, but it made me think of LLM chatbots. They have no substance beyond their power to convince. They're basically pure marketing machines.

This is actually really funny

XKCD 2501 applies in this thread.

OP, get CasaOS or Yunohost. Very very simple. Your laptop is fine (you'll probably want to upgrade the ram soon).

Falling asleep watching TNG or Voyager I can understand, but every moment of DS9 must be savored. You sir are worse than Gul Dukat.

What are you paying for BackBlaze and Cloudflare?

Ah ok, so ignoring Calibre for a moment, what's the difference between Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated? The ReadMe does not contain a list of the differences.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago (4 children)

This is explaining the difference between Calibre and Calibre-Web.

The person you replied to asked what the connection is between "Calibre-Web" and "Calibre-Web Automated"

The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:

And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.

I have to disagree somewhat, it's a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don't like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.
