Yes, because Trump is eliminating the de minimus exception for Tariffs. Meaning even if an individual imports a small product it will be subject to tariffs.
We've had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other, and they left us alone. We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engines churning, and the moment they pulled away, we forgot them. Because we had each other. We had Ferrix.
But we were sleeping. I've been sleeping. And I've been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face.
There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here, and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.
The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep. It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it's too late. But I'll tell you this... If I could do it again, I'd wake up early and be fighting these bastards from the start.
For some context I have been running my own Linux servers for 20+ years, I have used Home Assistant since very early in in the development when everything was yaml configuration, and I have experience with ffmpeg command line configuration. This is not the typical experience for me with an early in development roll your own software solution.
It may have changed now but the horrible configuration system is first and foremost what I did not like. But before I go into detail on that, I did not think the recognition features worked well enough to justify the struggle with the ever changing yaml settings. And I certainly was not impressed enough by any of it to start a subscription.
My experience with the configuration is probably through the first year after it was released so keep that in mind. I had a lot of trouble with getting it to even recognize the feeds from my camera in order to analyze them. Through the period I used Frigate this became a regular battle. I would finally get the new yaml config sorted out, and then the config file format would change and I would have to try and figure out what settings I needed to adjust now or where to put them in order for it to just read my camera feeds. These were nothing special, just a normal rtsp feed that I could easily view from a phone or desktop app. Eventually on the 4th or 5th time the config changes broke my setup I just gave up.
The recognition from the default models was not anywhere near useful enough for me to justify the struggle. And with no guarantee that I could keep this working with my cameras there was absolutely no way I would pay for access to a better model.
I would say if you use it, do not use any camera other than what they recommend because if the configuration changes and you're not using those you have to figure it out yourself.
At the very least I would try it with one camera for a while maybe on the paid model as a trial. I wouldn't invest heavily and assume it's going to work or be stable.
I know many people have a good experience with Frigate so definitely listen to other people's takes. But it just took up far too much of my time to be seen as anything other than an annoyance.
Even the thick plastic bags are semi permeable. Eventually every sealed filament will soak up moisture.
