Thingino firmware on a cheap camera alleviated any concerns I had about the camera bypassing my DNS and phoning home. There are a list of compatible cameras on the Thingino website, and I got some help with installing the firmware on the Thingino discord. Integrates well with Frigate, and others such as TinyNVR.

The second they activate that thing their servers are gonna be slammed by tons of homelabbers syncing their shit all at once

To answer your question, because they’ve never done drugs. people who blame the problem you describe solely on drugs don’t know anything about drugs, except that they’re scary and they hurt you.

Server (navidrome) + client (feishin, symphonium) + music (soulseek, bandcamp, ripping your old cds) + remote access (tailscale or something else if you’re savvy).

You sound like you’re dealing with my old friend burnout. Take a vacation and see how you feel after it. You have lots of options if you’re truly (and understandably) done with nursing. Nurses can do anything IMO.

Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don’t know what they don’t know.

MX is great. The MX tools are very useful and Sysvinit isn’t as difficult to use as I had assumed. It runs great on an old thinkpad of mine. Seems like a very viable option for people looking to self-host on older gear.

I put LMDE on my partner’s old surfacebook and installed the surface kernel. It runs smoother than windows ever did, battery life improved too, full touchscreen. Though I did install fedora prior to LMDE and the touchscreen functionality may have been better with that, but the system was slower overall.

IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential

I love that! Is that XFCE?
