This isn’t the right place for your post, but that’s okay. Lemmy is way more spread out than Reddit, so you should make a post like this in every community you intend to use. They’ll be named like the subs you used to like. You’ll find the people you’re looking for much faster that way.
If you have to ask you won’t be able to get it working.
The nerve gas report used to justify the invasion of Iraq was ripped from a scene in the Nicholas cage/sean Connery movie The Rock.
Pleco is the dictionary app I use. It does a good job translating phrases I type in and supports a variety of input methods. It has traditional Chinese characters as an option and offers the zhuyin(bopomofo) display as an option too.
If you’re doing surveillance of people for extrajudicial reasons, constantly need to report crime or are just slurping up all the images of what goes on around your location for some project then it might be useful.
For responding practically to sudden and unexpected crime, dumb game cameras are the goat. They’re cheap, completely self contained, simple, relatively camouflaged (at the very least they’re not a black dome or a hooded ptz up in the corner) and when you need to turn footage over to the cops you can give them the “originals” (the sd card) and keep a copy if they require the originals.
It’s not possible to avoid llm use in volunteer open source development if you prioritize software quality and security.
Whether we want it or not, people looking for bugs are using llms. They are finding phenomenal numbers of bugs. Implementing the fixes has created a huge workload.
Whether we want it or not, the Wayland people have decided that a new, piecemeal system for graphical desktops that relies on many disparate implementations of protocols is what we will use going forward. This has created a tremendous workload because there are now many different channels through which bugs and updates must be handled.
In this situation a volunteer development community must rely on every work saving tool they can just to keep up. For the person in the trenches there is no alternative.
If you prioritize quality as measured by the extent to which your software supports the various Wayland doohickies or security as measured by active exploitable bugs, you have to use llms.
These conditions will eventually remove the structure of incentives for open source development.
None of the above is a value judgement.
the reason I didnt address anything you asked earlier is because I don’t think people generally need this crap and it’s probably a mistake for me to have explained how a person can make semi decent decisions about rolling their own.
Ram doesn’t matter. You can buy more, yes even when it’s expensive. The reason it doesn’t matter if that your needs will vary wildly based on your workload. I don’t know your workload so I can’t recommend an amount of ram. Maybe start with 16gb for a few cameras and a zpool based storage.
You want an old server because consumer hardware has no pcie lanes and is in general designed around a short duty cycle which is how you get such great “efficiency” numbers out of consumer equipment compared to a computer designed to reliably run 24/7. Of course your computer isn’t using any electricity, it’s not fucking doing anything.
The os doesn’t actually matter. Just use whatever you can keep running reliably. If you need to ask what you can keep running reliably then buy an off the shelf solution.
Don’t use proxmox or some hypervisor. The whole point isn’t to have a cool hackerman surveillance room with a bunch of screens like in the movies, it’s to have a reliable record of what your cameras captured. Fewer things to fail is better.
If you need to ask if a raspberry pi is appropriate then a raspberry pi is not appropriate. That’s true in all situations but here’s why it’s true here: you would only use a sbc for this application because you either don’t have anything else or you’re worried about energy consumption. If you don’t have anything else then it doesn’t matter if it’s a smart choice and if you’re worried about energy consumption then you’re not factoring in the energy cost of maintaining a place for a human being to exist and look at the screens attached to the pi or you havent considered simply turning off the terminal when it’s not in use.
Don’t do an ip camera based security system as a learning experience. What you will learn is that it was a big waste of time and isn’t practical.
I would recommend you think critically about what you’re trying to accomplish first and foremost then implement the simplest system that has the fewest points of failure.
Apologies for the account change, credential rolling schedule waits for no man.
Yes, it’s device firmware.
Again, if you would like a more practical approach based on the experience of being robbed I will gladly volunteer it.
Yes. It all works by default. The ones you want to use for a cache device are m10, they come in 16, 32 and 64gb sizes.
That’s what the landscape of sleep is like.
E: The just read the thread and at this moment half the responses are some variation of “yeah I tried a bunch of stuff and it doesn’t work” and the other half are “it works perfectly for my precise state definition on this particular piece of hardware”. My comment is 100% correct and useful information about the state of sleep in Linux at the moment.
Not everything is a fight. Consider reading people’s comments and posts in the voice of miss rachel or something.
