  • Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it

    Jump

  • I use endurain since day one and it's growing fast and good. Dev is very dedicated and progress is significant and solid.

    Said so, I always despised Strava and never used it. But I use Garmin platform since I own many garmin devices for run bike and more ... And after all these years Garmin stuff, also on software side, keeps being non enshittified

  • Ideas for self hosted door bell

    Jump

  • I built a DIY with a 12v chime, a 12v dry contact ZigBee relay, a 12v generator, one ZigBee button and a Tenda two way audio pts external camera .

    The 12v (AC) is required by my gate lock. The two way audio depends on a proprietary app (didn't bother too hard to make it works with Home assistant yet).

    Using home assistant I can open the gate and check the camera. To actually talk back I need to open the proprietary app

  • Immich: FUTO — 2 years later

    Jump

  • And yet immich is still ahold, so I guess futo has been a clear win so far for immich.

    While I would prefer gpl3, still futo so far has delivered only good stuff. (I also use futo keyboard and voice typing).

    I had an old Android phone, a liking for OpenClaw, and some free time on weekends.

  • How safe is this

  • Is Plex really Self Hosting?

    Jump

  • I think Plesk is still self-hosting. Nowhere it says that self host MUST be open source or in general, free stuff. Self hosting is host on your premises, or actually host yourself (hosting on a VPS IMHO is still selfhost).

    As for Plex, i discarded it from the day 0 and went with Jellyfin directly, never looked back and i am 100% happy with my choice. I would NOT consider something like Plex (with it's enshittification, pricing and overall shady approaches in general) as viable for my setup. But, it's still self-host since you host your media and your service.

  • LazyNVR: a different approach in hosting IP webcams

    Jump

  • Yes this is exactly the point behind LazyNVR.... reduce power usage of the server, and CPU, since the load can already be supported by the camera itself.

    If the camera can only record on local storage, you can still use LazyNVR but you would need to manually dump the SD card content to the server... Ftp or any other network transfer is much more practical tough

  • Not the ones I have ... Maybe they are just too old (3-6 years) but they live separated from internet. So I am pretty sure of that.

    Well, they probably don't do face detection at all actually ...

  • I only have one reolink and it's cabled, PoE. So can't help you... But I can say reolink is the worst hardware quality but better software quality than dahua in my experience ... My reolink did factory reset for over one year every time it rained.... Then stopped all by itself .... No idea why

  • Never had imou or tapo. But if they provide at least an url for live stills you can athe very least display them in the web GUI bot not collect recordings....

  • Yes there will be regulations and laws on AI and it's use, it's a matter of time. Technology usually comes first, and it's regulations come afterward....

    It's too soon at this time. And I have absolutely no hope that companies are capable to regulate themselves.

  • Once I asked ai to write a piece of code for me. I literally spent more time fixing it and resolving obscure issues that I would have spent writing the code myself

  • Yes indeed if your camera have motion detection embedded, it will work.

    I tested frigate but after two cameras or so my small server CPU was hammered. This solution works for my 15 cameras with almost zero CPU impact.

    I assume frigate can do a much better motion detection and filtering tough.

  • Cool! Keep me posted ... Via codeberg itself or pm me here, or this thread whatever works for you

    I want feedback!

  • I don't use traefik, but if you can suggest a setup I will gladly post it on the wiki... I use nginx and I have posted my setup as reverse proxy.

    As for authelia, I can post my setup for that s well. No OIDC, just a simple nginx link to authelia to input password and username. Maybe you can open a ticket on codeberg so I don't forget?

  • Keep me posted. Open tickets on codeberg, pm me... Whatever ... So far it's been running solid on my home, bit that's mostly it, I need feedback! And improvement suggestions.

  • AI is pretty useful tool if used properly. But given how much it's abused with slop and vibe coding, I prefer to be upfront.

    Overall AI is a revamped stack exchange search on steroids. But you really cannot trust even the smallest snippet of code it writes

  • How to auto remount external HDD after power loss to laptop server?

    Jump

  • I was thinking of 2.5" inch USB drives powered by USB cables....

    For 220v ones get a proper ups power strip. They are cheap about 50-60 bucks

  • How to auto remount external HDD after power loss to laptop server?

    Jump

  • In short: buy a cheap ups power strip or a generous USB powebank capable to being under charge 24/7 and do not let the HDD switch off on power loss...

    That is a guaranteed recepy to destroy your data and possibly the hardware as well as spinning disks don't like abrupt shutoff and that applies to data being written on SSDs as well.

    Remounting after the power resumes is the last of the issues, easily fixed by a amount/mount command with the proper fstab setup.
