I recently adopted a dog who I want to monitor when I’m away from home. So I got a cheap motion tracking in-home camera with cloud storage, and AI identification for people and pets. The AI functions never fucking worked. I already had a Ring camera.

Did a bit of research after realising the cheapo camera was shit, and went for a eufy stack to replace the Ring doorbell and tbr shitty in-house camera.

I now have:

• eufy Video Doorbell
• eufy HomeBase 3, with an added 1TB of storage
• eufy IndoorCam C220

This gives me

• local storage for both cameras on the HomeBase.
• the HomeBase also gives you local AI for (individual) person, (general) pet, vehicle, and package identification. I haven’t tried the vehicle identification.
• streaming in the app for both cameras should work in 2k. I have it set to 1080p. It’s good enough for me.
• continuous recording is an option. I have it set to motion alerts because
• the app gives you motion and doorbell alerts. You can configure how much information you want in the notifications, to prevent video’s from passing through eufy’s servers.

… so, the Cybertruck will blow itself up.

… “just before giving control back to the driver”?

This pretty much sounds like the inciting incident from Blue Bayou.

XML is a super-set of XHTML’s spec.

That’s a weird way of saying XHTML is an application of XML.

And if you need to mount a directory over SSH, I can recommend rclone and its mount subcommand.

The longer version of the third video is insane

• Muscle memory. I already did development on remote machines in nvim.
• If I start tmux in the root of a project, then every new pane or window I open automatically starts in that directory. So no need to cd to the root for every new shell session I start.

Yeah. Pretty much all of the above.

I used to rely on Sway for terminal tabs and splits. Only recently did I realize that tmux is the better option, even for local use. Already used tmux for SSH sessions.

KurtJMac started Far Lands or Bust in 2011, and reached 9.9 million blocks earlier this month.

That sounds pretty much like what Dirvish and rsnapshot do. Both wrap rsync.

Does your FS support online resizing?

Yeah. I mainly use btrfs; it supports online growing and shrinking.

Be super careful about partition sizes. […]

I know. I have done plenty of same device partition resizing. I know the pit falls, and for safety shrink the FS to below what the LV is going to be.

Have backups.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been meaning to set up snapshot backups for this machine using rsnapshot as an experiment. I mainly use Dirvish

Nah, it’ll be fine.

I might have a large enough USB SSD laying around some where. I could probably use that instead.

• extend VG with the USB PV
• move LV’s to USB
• shrink root LV
• resize boot
• move things back on a new internal PV

That’s not even a bad idea then.

One of my machines has a boot partition that’s a bit too small, on an otherwise LVM setup.

Good grief. Why?

jdupes is my go-to solution for file deduplication. It should be able to remove duplicate files. I don’t know how much control it gives you over which duplicate to remove though.

Minecraft rain.

But rises again, harder and stronger.

You’ll want to look into a category of programs called dotfiles managers. There’s a bunch of them. Most of them are based on some kind of version control system, usually git.

I personally use yadm

There’s a miniseries as well. The Act (2019).
