I've installed Thingino on my cameras such as this. Cheap camera + custom (local only!) firmware is a good solution imo. No guarantee that it'll be perfect either, obviously, but it's open source and actively maintained. High

I prefer "the shitmus test" - it's been my yardstick for evaluating (some) startups over the last ~decade: if people will open your app while they're poopin', then you pass the litmus/shitmus test :)

I've been recommended the deformed baby video a few times recently - it's somewhat reassuring, though worrying, that others are seeing the same thing. I'm especially frustrated about it, as it'll show up inline with sear

ha, as the author of most of the code on the client side (and thus those beefy requirements), yes it absolutely is possible to use an ESP32! and that’s more along the lines of the original product that inspired this! however, this was built

The article has a note on that saying: > If you think this use of addresses seems wasteful, you needn’t worry. There are around 3.4×1038 IPv6 addresses, enough for 10^27 such displays. So even an intentionally wasteful project has plenty

Regardless if you need a visa or not, you cannot (legally) stay more than 90 days every 180 days outside of the country you have a visa for. Even as a permanent resident of Germany, I have no special rights within any other Schengen member

Careful, the blue card won't let you move around Europe as a citizen. They're issued by individual countries, so you'll have residency rights in that country, but standard "90 in 180" freedom of movement within Sche

fwiw, https://github.com/sbooth/SFBAudioEngine is a great library for supporting other formats, helps with gapless, and is reasonably easy to drop in. I've dropped it into an audio player I created with virtually

Just to clarify: when you say BPD here, do you mean bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder? I've only known it as the latter (and a quick Google search agrees), but from context I assume you mean the former?

As a cancer survivor, I feel so conflicted about this. On one hand, I can completely understand where you're coming from. But on the other hand, I think seeing things in such black and white terms is pretty shortsighted. When there&#x2
