Maybe he's trying to trigger the Canadian Air Force into bombing the Baldwins..?

Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing links to all the bits!

This is the way. Win is already activated, no need to pirate anything. Just get a >= 8gb flash drive, download the installer creator app from Microsoft, and reinstall Windows. It will activate based on the licensing level the machine came with, minus the crapware, which is from the manufacturer's OS image, not Microsoft's.

Same. I love my Plex server - I rip all of my physical media audio and video to it and can watch/listen on all of my devices. Music is especially fun on Plex, as it pulls in great bio info for most of the artists, which makes organizing my decent sized music library a fun bit of zen..

Sounds like you may want to look into reshade. There's a ton of reshade presets up on the Starfield nexus, many of which may make the improvements you're looking for.

Sounds like your car did not defeat you, and like you kicked a lot of ass. Serpentine belts are a giant pain in the ass - fought with one myself today. Just gotta have the right tool, which in this case is one of those that gets used once every 5 years unless you work on a lot of cars. You did great, and should be proud of what you accomplished!

Same. I am a huge fan of curb-alerting large items that I can no longer use. Always a huge relief when a broken table saw that's not worth fixing or some other large item disappears from my garage into the trunk of someone's car.

Yeah, you don't want to know more 😐.

Sounds like a solid plan! Note that you can also get BlueIris apps on Android and ios for a fairly low cost - still need the server + BlueIris server software, but being able to roll over in bed and check the cams in the middle of the night on your phone or tablet is indispensably convenient.

Been using Reolink IP cameras ever since I was robbed at gunpoint on my front porch in 2015. No complaints, though I wouldn't use one of their NVRs or give them my info and sign into an app of theirs

I find used servers are cheap, more maintainable, and more configurable than proprietary hardware like an NVR.

A POE switch and BlueIris will run Reolink cams using the generic ONVIF protocol with no need to give Reolink personal data they don't need.

I would avoid their zoom cameras - I bought a couple thinking they'd be a good supplement to the 6 standard 1440p Reolink cams I also have and tbh I really hate the zoom cameras. They go out of focus or zoom weird and it's a bit of a PIA to get them dialed back in. Good luck!

What an incredible image! Love it!

Thanks! I love them too!

There are a handful of gardening sites that sell the egg cases, called ooths. I got mine from Hirt's Gardens - needed to get a native mantis type so as not to introduce a non-native species to my area.

Got them specifically for natural pest control. Hopefully they come back next year like the sunflowers did - guess we'll see!

I'm super impressed with the dev's progress too, but I had to uninstall when I saw that Voyager was dropping a line item into my chrome browsing history with every post I tapped on.

Nothing sinister about my activity, but it seems like a bit of a privacy faux pas for me, so I uninstalled and moved to Connect instead. Might be back if the history thing goes away, as it's an excellent app otherwise.

One of my favorites too!

That is actually a Sunflower! My wife has been planting them over the last 3 years or so and this year they're upwards of 15 feet tall.

All of the neighborhood small animals are converging to eat the flowers, and the dogs are eating whatever the squirrels happen to drop.

Thanks so much!

Me too please! Would love the highest res image you're willing to part with. This is amazing!

+1 for reolink. Works great with blueiris and has its own app as well. I'd recommend the basic 1440p model, which should run around $50 US on Amazon. You'll need ether net cables and a POE switch to run them, also not very expensive. Stay away from the zoom versions - in my experience they kind of suck. Been running 8 of these for about 8 years now and they've been very reliable. Running both the native reolink app and blueiris on Android, Ipads, and PC, and they kick the dog out of that Ring junk - works great and easy/cheap to add cams and really place stuff when needed.
