The Home Assistant mobile client? Or is there a Frigate app, too? I have the Frigate webpage bookmarked and used that. It's also available in the HA front end, but I prefer using Frigate directly.

Frigate for software. Add a Coral to your computer (they come in M.2, Mini PCIe, even USB) to handle the object detection. Configuration is slightly complex, but the documentation is very good.

I'm using a couple of Amcrest cameras which I have on a VLAN that can't access the internet, so no spying from the manufacturer.

I also added a hard drive specifically for the recording. It stores a ton of days worth of footage and Frigate handles deleting old footage to make room for new. I figure that hard drive will probably fail sooner than my other drives which is why I got one just for that.

I suggest you read some theory, comrade. You're misguided and Che would be disappointed in you.

Typically yeah, but I think there was likely enough weight on the engine cowls to make the engines dig in to EMAS. I wonder if it has ever been tested.

Definitely a strange crash, although it sounds like there was some mechanical stuff going on as a result of multiple bird strikes on the previous approach.

Lots of airports around the world have EMAS which is designed to stop an airplane in this situation. Unfortunately this airport has a concrete wall instead. Google maps has it labeled as "Walls of death", although I don't know if that was recently added or if they've had that nickname for a while. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eX9Fp9RXeVkRB94L9

Look into a raspberry pi with Volumio. You can play music through the headphone jack that way (assuming you get a Pi with a headphone jack).

Home Assistant has a Volumio integration but I'm not sure what it's capable of. You can also run Music Assistant (available as a HA add-on), with which you can set up Volumio as a DLNA player. You'll have to try it out and see if volume control is available, but I can tell you that using Music Assistant with Chromecast lets me control volume through Home Assistant.

Edit: maybe a pipe dream, but maybe Music Assistant can control the Spotify app on your tablet? Only one way to find out.

Immich. Come for the photo backup, stay for everything else because it's awesome.

9 spinning disks and a couple SSD's - Right around 190 watts, but that also includes my router and 3 PoE WiFi AP's. PoE consumption is reported as 20 watts, and the router should use about 10 watts, so I think the server is about 160 watts.

Electricity here is pretty expensive, about $.33 per kWh, so by my math I'm spending $38/month on this stuff. If I didn't have lots of digital media it'd be worth it to get a VPS probably. $38/month is still cheaper than Netflix, HBO, and all the other junk I'd have to subscribe to.

Ah, it clicked as I was typing out a comment asking for an explanation. I don't know Y it took me so long to figure out.

Ah, yeah, NYC is definitely full of shared surfaces. I recommend taking a shower before you go home, multiple times, maybe once per day. And also when you get home. (unless by "home" you mean the place you're staying).

NYC is a great place to visit. Have fun.

For what it's worth, I've heard a lot of complaints about powerline adapters. I've always seen it as sort of hacky and unreliable. Only as a last resort.

Just to make things a little more clear, here are some definitions for what things are called:

Router - a piece of hardware that runs router software. It determines where internet packets go, gives devices IP addresses using DHCP, and whole host of other cool stuff. A router can have physical connections only (ethernet, for example), or they are sold as combo units with WiFi, too.

Access Point - A WiFi access point broadcasts and receives wifi signals, but still needs a router to handle the who, what, where, and when.

I suggest keeping your current router (combo) if you're happy with the management of things. To get better WiFi, you can add additional Access Points. They should be wired directly to your router. You can leave the WiFi on on your current combo-router, and just add extra WiFi as close to your devices as possible.

If you have access to Unifi products, they are pretty solid, but you'll need to boot up their controller software on a computer to get things set up.

Grandstream makes good hardware, too, and you can get them set up by accessing them directly over your network (controller software built in).

Mikrotik is a great brand and they have inexpensive Access Points, and also Router/WiFi combos (I think the combos are called "hAP"). They are enthusiast level type stuff, and not really user friendly. They do have a default configuration that will get you up and running, though. Their WiFi products are slightly behind the times (WiFi 6 is about as far along as they've come at this point, but hey, I'm still on WiFi 5 and doing fine).

I really like Mikrotik, but you have to be their target audience to enjoy using them, I think. Just throwing that out there.

That's annoying. I have an old Nvidia Shield and it's very fast.

I was so happy when I installed Projectivy. Our home screen now has 3 nice looking ovals -- Jellyfin, YouTube, and YouTube TV. If I was the only one in the house it would have one icon...

No ads, no recommendations, just click into the app you want.

I had to do some searching to figure out how to properly set it up and all it took was enabling accessibility access so it could have access to the "Exit" button on my remote. Without that permission, it would still exit to the stock launcher.

Trump must be so proud that his library will be partially paid for by suing people. Very on brand.

Use the password reset feature on their accounts, maybe?

The results of their research are going to show that there is no connection, and they're going to say "ah, I guess we were wrong". Right? RIGHT?!

There was no conspiracy, though.. She won the qualifying event and got sent to the Olympics. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/australian-breakdancer-raygun-olympics/

I'm sure there are a ton of great athletes all over the world who don't have a chance to go to the Olympics. That's life.

Series is more accurate.
