You really don’t understand what a browser engine is, do you?
idk about a 4b these days but the 5’s are stupid priced. You can get a refurbed 6th gen intel machine with 16gb of ram and an SSD for the price of a 4Gb Pi 5. Add an ESP32 running ESPhome or Firmata and you’ve got everything you could do with a Pi and a lot more.
Do their radios still not do 801.11af? You still need to have their stupid POE injectors hanging on the wall?


I can’t say I particularly trust even Bitwarden’s servers. I export Bitwarden passwords to a spreadsheet once a month and rsync it along with SSH keys to a USB key. Takes a couple minutes.


To be fair, the farmer bailout is a drop in the bucket of what they’re down over lost sales to China and higher fertilizer prices. Like, have the day you voted for and all that, but 12B is 1% of this years military budget.
IDK how Frigate handles alerts, but Blue Iris will write an alert to MQTT topic if it matches object recog, and I have an app MQTT Alert that watches that and goes nuts if it comes up. The BI android app is underwhelming in its alerts.
I’d have to figure Frigate has some sort of MQTT capability. I tried using Frigate but it was pretty basic for my needs, so I moved on.

I use Matrix with the Jitsi plugin. I know everyone talks shit about Matrix, it’s been flawless for me.
IDK about watching videos, that’s a lot to ask of a screensharing app.


Yah, that’s a PWM charger. You’d likely see up to another third more power stored with an MPPT at temperatures below freezing from my experience running various offgrid livestock pumping systems over the years. I still use old PWM controllers on things like fencers because they’re pretty low draw, but I haven’t bought a PWM for years now since MPPT prices came down to earth.
Just a suggestion, idk what your particular scenario is but it sounds like you’re running out of power pretty quick. And for batteries, I’ve personally moved to LFP with heaters in insulated boxes for the sheer life expectancy, power density and reliability compared to LA in cold temperatures. But I wouldn’t say it’s the cheapest way to do things.


Well, I guess whatever camera you get should give you a power requirement and you can work backwards from there as to storage and panel requirement. My off the cuff notion would say you’ll need a deep cycle or a group 31 of 100aH to last for a day or two depending on weather and length of day, and lithium batteries will get plating if you try to charge below freezing so they’re out.
It’s all in the math, then double it because nature hates you.


Do you have an MPPT charger or a PWM? The amount of extra power you get off your panels in winter can be significant with a good MPPT charger because it isn’t clipping the higher voltage/power you get in cold.


Grab a regular ethernet connected camera with 12V supply and ONVIF compatible (most PTZ cameras like Amcrest or Vikylon are 12V), and a OpenWRT router like GLiNet’s cheapo units in bridge mode. They have a wireguard VPN active already, you just need to get it set up. Then you specify what subnet the inside of that router is so you can get to the camera, and access it via IP.
Put down a car battery, a cheap MPPT charger and a panel or two. The PowMr charge controllers have a couple of USB ports on them to power the router and they’re $50.


Been running my email server on a resi IP for two decades, without PTR records, and never had to deal with a blacklist by any major players. Maybe because I’m not on some big ISP.


It’s fine if you use the AIO or do some specific things on baremetal like Postgres and Redis. I’ve used in virtually every format over the last dozen years, and you eventually learn what works.


Bitching about nextcloud seems to be some people’s hobby around here.


Any idea if it will render Mermaid diagrams correctly?


They don’t obfuscate the filesystem, it’s right there in clear folder trees under each username in the chosen data folder with all the filenames you see in the UI, you can do whatever you want with it.
I hear this bullshit constantly and I go back to check just to make sure I’m not fooling myself and there it is. Where do people get this from, do you not know how to navigate a filesystem?

I figured you did. It’s the guy you were replying to that seems confused.
