I guess that was my point. It ships with whatever has been packaged up to now, and there is no “default” NixOS anything, not even the display manager.

I can’t say I follow you. The price difference between ecc and nonecc should be so low as to make nonecc extinct, in a world where the marketing shits at Intel didn’t have their way. How would it end up being a negative?

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.

Blame Intel for making that a bold statement. Their refusal to allow ECC on anything except expensive server SKUs for decades set data integrity back substantially.

Fuck Intel.

He spent a lot of years shitting on Linux on his channel before he pulled his head out of his ass and got halfway conciliatory about it. The few times he tried Linux it seemed like the entire show was designed to fail using linux to push people away. And considering how mercenary he has been throughout the years, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was paid to do that.

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.

How does NixOS ship with anything? It’s all about what you put in the configuration.nix. You even have to specify if you want a WM.

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’ve been astroturfing the fuck out of it for the last 6 weeks.

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?

Owncloud is an enshittified mess. There are very good reasons that Nextcloud hardforked and ran. Stay far away.

More Zorin spam.

I’d have to look at Frigate again, but I’ve used BI for a few years now for myself and neighbors that I’ve installed livestock monitoring cameras for. The phone app is quite good, it does very reliable recognition via Deepstack, it’s compatible with so many cameras it isn’t funny, and the automations are very extensive. Setting up schedules is pretty intuitive.

The geofencing is terrible, but that’s about my biggest complaint with it, besides having to install it on a Windows VM. I did have it working in Wine years ago, but it wasn’t very stable.

requires UniFi Protect to enable the setting.

Always some sort of cloud based dicking around with Ubiquiti stuff. I’m so over them.

Make sure any cameras you get are ONVIF compatible. That’ll give you the widest usability.

And while it’s great to be self-hosted, I’ve never found anything as good as BlueIris for camera software, even if it does cost $50/yr. I run it in a Dockurr/windows container, there’s a few projects out there that make Dockur easier to set up.
