Elegantly written, thanks.

Forcing me to sign into "messages" for voice calling is bad for my personal security. Some sites still only provide 2 factor via SMS. I don't want to be forced to receive them on my computer, when my phone is the 2 factor device.

Don't like this change one bit.

What's forcing you to use your computer? Google Voice has a fully functioning mobile app.

I'm a Google Fi user. To be able to make and receive voice calls from my desktop I'll have to sign into 'messages' which forces the sms part as well. I prefer to not receive sms on desktop but love voice calls.

I've recently finished 2 books that helped give a nice macro level to human's "progress".

'Sapiens' & 'The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World'

Stuff You Should Know (podcast) has also been a gem for learning broadly about industrial and material topics.

Rawtherapee is another top contender. I use it in conjunction with Affinity Photo and have been happy with the workflow.

The UIUX is horrible. The devs are cool and the wiki is really good though.

I think I'm nearing 2500 filtered. It's actually a nice place to visit now.

Can you maybe have a pastebin of such a list? would be very useful

I find they create more crap new ones than I can be bothered to filter.

At my parents house I purchased a relatively cheap desktop with server hardware (PowerEdge T20). We planned viewing angles and doors/windows that he wanted monitored. We ran Ethernet cables and got a POE switch.

I tested out most of the non-commercial NVR software and landed on Blue Iris (the most recommended on ipcamtalk.com). Zoneminder and others were not as stable nor feature complete. My dad has the Blue Iris app on his phone so he can monitor remotely.

Blue Iris has motion detection and other common features.

Hikvision and Amcrest are often recommended for IP cameras.

ipcamtalk.com is an great resource for troubleshooting.

It's been a rock solid setup for 3+ years.

Edit: Price list - Blue Iris 5 (~$50) + Blue Iris App (~$10) - 4 Hikvision IP Cams off eBay ($280) - T20 Desktop Server ($330) - Desktop Server Upgrades (~$160) - Ethernet Cables ($50)

I believe Waveshare gets their panels from the same place good-display.com does. The Waveshare adapters work on good-display panels.

I hear ya! Mine is obsessed with eating cobwebs.

My dog used to love eating bees. Then her little muzzle would get all swollen. Silly gal :)

A friend’s dog used to catch the bee in his mouth, carefully turn it round and bite the stinger off.

That’s pretty wild. Do you remember what breed?

Spicy flies

Are you a fellow Tanarus refugee? I miss that game so much. I had the most flags in total in that game!

It's not ideal, but you can search for 'larger_than:5m' and it will show mail greater than 5mb in size.
