  • Micromobility is pretty active if you're interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, it's pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ☹️

  • I picked up Grayjay so I can actually watch early access videos from creators I follow on Patreon. I honestly love how it seamlessly integrates multiple services around creators. Also supports Nebula, and IMO provides a nicer experience compared to the official app.

    Personally I still use NewPipe (Tubular fork) for my daily viewing just because I kind of prefer that UI

  • I just made both gestures an upvote lol

  • After one Google search on my work laptop I was looking for searx instances - a lot of those were going down too due to rate limiting 😭

  • DDG has an experimental wikipedia "AI" that pops up near wikipedia results, but theres a button you have to click manually to generate the summary AFAIK

  • I'm looking into printing with ASA eventually - have you tried skirts on an ASA print? (Not sure what other slicers call it - it's a wall that is printed around the print to shield drafts)

    I don't have an enclosure on my delta so was considering that as an alternative.

  • I use it on the deck - it works really well, however you can definitely see the artifacting when fast motion is occuring. There are also some odd bugs when using SMAA with FSR turned on, where the frame gen model gets confused and starts moving the game UI/HUD with the camera.

    Apparently it works much better at framerates above 60FPS since the model has more data to predict future frames...

    If you have genuine DLSS available it's probably better to stick to that IMO

  • Some searx instances are going to get hit hard today 😅

  • I used to use MQTT, static_status and Healthchecks.io, and have that data passed through to Home Assistant, but it started to get pretty cumbersome as the amount of machines I had grew.

    I now use just Zabbix and HealthchecksIO. I did need to spend some time writing new templates for some additional data I wanted to collect (like SMART data for SSDs that provide health metrics in non-standard attributes, and HealthchecksIO so I could see the status of various checks on my zabbix dashboard)

    Zabbix also has some additional features I found appealing, like proxies that can continue recording data when the main server is down, and built in encryption. Some checks like open ports/icmp responses etc can be checked using either the local agent, the remote server, or both, which helps quickly diagnose things like firewall config issues.

    I did look at some other solutions, but I wanted something integrated to hit the ground running. Mobile apps are very limited, and there is no official one to my knowledge. I use Moobix which I don't believe is FOSS - but I could be wrong there

    Try each solution out and see what works best for you!

  • Good.

    My VPS provider also migrated away from VMWare - got an email saying VMs would be down temporarily during the move, and the main website no longer contains any references to the virtualization tech. I miss my /64 IPV6 😭 but i'll happily give that up if it means Broadcom's dumpster fire comes crashing down as big customers pull the plug and migrate

  • I do something similar for my property's exterior cameras, which are streamed to my VPS in 'real-time'.

    You will need to re-encode the footage - videos are already pretty well compressed, so traditional compression methods like 7z (lzma), gz, zip etc being layered on top can't compress them further.

    For your solution, I'd probably run a find every minute w/ cron to look for these files in a staging/watch folder, move them to another folder so they aren't picked up on the next run, then re-encode with ffmpeg. Do note that when you re-encode footage, you always lose quality, even if you're on a high quality preset.

    I have a feeling that the Handbrake project can do this with a watch folder though, so might be worth looking into that. After a quick search this looks easier to setup than my solution:

  • There are also DLL mods that convert nvidia's DLSS API to AMD FSR, in which case games usually need to be fooled into thinking the GPU is made by nvidia and not AMD

  • Typically free of charge for the country's public services to get a domain if the registrar is based within the country.

    There are other countries that don't actually own their TLDs like .io, .tk, .ga, .cf etc. Mali recently forcibly reposessed their .ml domain from overseas ownership IIRC

  • I personally think some types of openly developed software projects should have a strict non-commercial license: if companies aren't willing to contribute back to the source IMO they shouldn't be granted permission to freeload & have volunteers fix issues their paying customers run into

    Donations are possibly a bit of an exception here - there are quite a few companies that still do this, albeit growing slimmer by the day.

    Another big problem IMO is the subset of users that start attacking maintainers and volunteers because their "free app stopped working" etc. I see that a lot, mostly in the arduino community, but especially egregiously on the Zabbix project - I imagine a lot of those users are companies who aren't even paying/donating to the project

  • The hospitals in my nearby city have their own BRT which is open to public use, and joined to the city's ticketing system. It shuttles between them and various key locations, and is of course wholly subsidized for the intended users.

    Despite being the only BRT here it pretty much goes everywhere it should, skipping the usual traffic, and as a result gets a lot of use.

    If the users were limited to the regular transportation I think they would just all drive - while there are a lot of routes here they're not entirely pleasant to use IMO and almost always get stuck in traffic

  • By making something private, IMO you're revoking its status as an inherent right, and restricting access to only those who can afford it.

    IMO the primary issue with this specifically venture funded stuff is that it'll undercut the competition for as long as possible, and then hike the prices once the competition has ceased to exist. When other recurring sources of funding are available, as it usually is with public services, this kind of thing is much less of an issue

  • I have a steam deck, and while its somewhat portable, I wouldn't want to carry one just to use at a charging station, considering the alternative is a controller stashed away in the glovebox. Probably also would want to carry the deck whenever leaving the vehicle too, considering how common it is in certain regions for some tesla models to be broken into and boot emptied out (apparently preventable with a 3d printed shim).

    With the crazy powerful GPUs in these cars IMO it's practically free to enable this functionality for the user when the car is stationary, on a screen that is much, much larger and with a nicer sound system compared to any handheld or phone

  • IMO more accurate presence detection. Common sensors like PIR and cheaper doppler radar types can detect when there's motion, but not if a user is present but not moving in the detection area (e.g. sleeping or sitting). There's also open source projects that can track bluetooth wearables & phones to know who specifically is in a room, but these aren't able to detect people with no devices, say guests and kids.

    The preferred approach at the moment is a combination of sensors to cover motion and person detection separately, which comes at a cost, both on your pocket and the time needed to get it working suitably for your needs, or maybe one of the more expensive radar sensors like the FP2 that can detect where in a space is occupied with higher accuracy than more affordable alternatives

    The thermal cam is roughly in the same price range as the FP2 - however since it has I2C, something cheap like an ESP8266 can be used to turn it into a WiFi based presence detection sensor. Something like an ESP32 could be used to turn it into a presence detector and wearable tracker, negating the need for another separate sensor entirely.

    Something like this would probably be quite close to plug and play for someone DIY focused, and wouldn't have the same problem as radar being able to see through walls to different areas, although this is somewhat solved by surrounding the rear of the sensor in foil with caveats.

    I'm interested in how it performs outdoors in rain though, a lot of existing affordable sensors (except PIR) struggle a little in wet conditions, with doppler based ones not detecting anything

  • Yepp I agree lol, coverage about him/his companies gets old really fast...

    Even worse when its stuff like laying off the one of his companies' most profitable business units over a childish disagreement 🤦‍♂️ just to reverse the decision after reporters start spamming his antics everywhere, leading to more spam.

    Feel like he likes to see his name in the news or something, very tiring IMO
