Neat, thanks!

I’m not thrilled about the camera quality (compared to a purpose-built surveillance cam with 4k and good low-light performance) and I wish it had PoE, but damn, can’t beat that price!

(Side note: does anybody else find it weird that PoE is so uncommon and/or adds so much to the cost of these IoT dev boards? I get that normal people don’t want the hassle of running cable, but it feels like the hole in the market is bigger than it should be.)

TFW Cloudflare is down but I can’t tell Lemmy about it because… Cloudflare is down (and Lemmy.world uses Cloudflare).

Tell me more about your homebrew esp32 cams, please!

How you gonna get the video feed off an IP cam and onto your NVR without connecting it to your network?

You’re not seriously suggesting using old analog cameras in 2025, are you?

The exceptions are things like my phone because it’s a necessary device these days and there aren’t a lot of options for something not locked down to all hell.

Graphene is good enough, IMO.

The real problem is that getting to 99% is damn near a full-time job and the capitalist cartel actively punishes it (by only offering owner control in ‘commercial-grade’ products at huge markup, or not manufacturing such things at all and forcing you to DIY).

It’s unreasonable to expect any but the most dedicated (read: stubborn) people like us to be able to handle it; the only viable solution for the masses is to wrestle back control of the government and end regulatory capture of the FTC etc.

Didn’t they already try that? I figured that’s why Amazon wanted to buy them.

But at least they’re setting a good example for other countries to emulate.

Most people in Argentina and Uruguay are white, and the (indigenous + indigenous-mixed) majorities in some of the other countries aren’t necessarily big enough to be considered “virtually all,” especially when you consider that there are folks with African ancestry there as well.

I’ve been noticing several new or new-ish accounts acting similarly. I need to go find an admin/mod discussion about what I (as a mod of another community) should be doing about it.

Well, cool it anyway 'cause it makes people think you’re a bot.

Yep!

I hesitate to mention this because I don’t want the ebay seller to sell out before I decide if I want one, but…

Craft Computing has a recent video about a used Supermicro “Microcloud” server that holds 8 Intel socket R nodes in 3U and costs $400 (apparently including CPUs but not RAM). Seems like an excellent way to get cheap redundancy, albeit at the cost of probably not great power consumption because it’s so obsolete.

My dislike for Subway comes from experience probably close to three decades ago, so nah, not enshittification (unless they’ve gotten even worse since then, LOL). The main things that bothered me were that the bread was weirdly sweet, and all the meats were pre-sliced and tasted not only not particularly fresh, but also kinda the same?

I always thought Blimpie was vastly superior, if that gives you a frame of reference. It seems like even Blimpie isn’t considered all that great these days (compared to, IDK, Firehouse or Jersey Mike’s or something), so that’s saying a lot.

One thing Subway wasn’t, at the time, was overpriced, BTW. That’s why my parents often preferred it over Blimpie, despite my objections.

I’d rather have a sub from literally any other chain before one from Subway. Hell, at this point I might even rather give Quiktrip made-to-order subs a shot than go to Subway!

Best use of their mediocre sandwiches.

“Hale Hortler!”

More broadly, there’s a hell of a lot of compassion fatigue in caring professions.

It could be a warped sense of excess compassion, too. Some of these caregiver serial killers are “angel of death” types who think they’re doing euthenasia.

(Not saying that’s the case here, since OP’s blurb gives a different motive and I can’t be bothered to read further, but more broadly it seems to be a well-known thing.)

the judiciary system not understanding statistics (5 percent of all nurses have a statistically-significant high death rate).

And for those in this thread who also don’t understand statistics, that’s because the threshold for statistical significance is usually 5% by definition and has nothing to do with nursing at all.

Plus, each of those options are more or less forever if we never get around to carbon sequestration that actually works.

Obligatory reminder that the easiest by far way of sequestering carbon is to simply not extract it from the ground in the first place.

Demonstrating the need for jail breaking firmware for smart TVs (and repealing the DMCA anti-circumvention clause that enforces Tivoization) in two different ways at once:

1. You can’t use ethernet-ovet-HDMI on your smart TV because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
2. You only care about the feature in the first place because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
