It is a class war but boomers provide political cover the the ruling class to destroy the country

You are trying to generalize so you can make it not a class war because it’s easier. Stop it.

Worth repeating:

Remember, there’s not an age war, there is a class war.

I bet Bozos is absolutely livid about not “investing” in a presidency. He can brag about his yachts all he wants but can he say he bought a president? NoOoOo!

What you are told on the phone and what will actually happen in the store are two completely different things.

It almost certainly is.

I am very concerned that you can’t comprehend this.

What’s not comprehensible here is your argument. I’d suggest you consider how you might learn to be a better communicator.

Good bye.

It amazes me that somehow all that makes sense in your brain. Interesting.

What is “it” in your comment?

For the little people.

So we should just accept that and pay them off rather than putting in mechanisms to prevent that and hiring people who are motivated by something other than the payout?

It might seem like we have no choice but we do, collectively, hold the power of the purse here. And I think this post is a great example of that.

What you are describing is blackmail.

“Pay us exorbitant salaries or we’ll be forced to embezzle the funds”

These are facts whether you like them or not.

That’s cheap… I’ve paid over $500 -with- insurance.

I’ve had good luck with them over 3 pairs. I get the exam at Costco and then buy from Zenni. The most expensive pair so far has been $108 for progressives with anti-glare etc although that was during a sale. They are better quality and have lasted longer than almost anything I’ve got from the traditional optometrists places, even when I’ve gone higher end. Even better, you can select the distance for computer, mid or distance - I wear one of 4 pairs depending on what I’m doing - AND they don’t check your prescription so you can use an old one if you know that works for you.

Ain’t never going back.

Sure, right. Because I’m sure you are free and clear of centuries of systemic white supremacy… Uh huh.

The left has GOT to stop using race/skin color.

You first.

In my experience pretty much all IP cameras phone home in some way at some point, so yeah, you are best off putting them on a separate VLAN and routing appropriately.

The only brand I’ve had a good experience with is Reolink. I don’t think the quality is appreciably different than a brand like Hikvision and the firmware and support is vastly superior.

Edit: Some good info on using Reolink cameras with Frigate. I use Blue Iris but would vastly prefer OSS.

This sounds excessive, that’s almost 1.1$/day, amounting to more than 2kWh/24hrs, ie ~80W/hr? You will need to invest in a TDP friendly build. I’m running a AMD APU (known for shitty idle consumption) with Raid 5 and still hover less than 40W/h.

This isn’t speculation on my part, I measured the consumption with a Kill-a-watt. It’s an 11 year old PC with 4 hard drives and multiple fans because it’s in a hot environment and hard drive usage is significant because it’s running security camera software in a virtual machine. Host OS is Linux MInt. It averages right around 110w. I’m fully aware that’s very high relative to something purpose built.

You will need to invest in a TDP friendly build

Right, and spend even more money.

Residential electricity isn’t cheap

This is a point many folks don’t take into account. My average per Kwh cost right now is $0.41 (yes, California, yay). So it costs me almost $400 per year just to have some older hardware running 24x7
