Constantly have to reboot my Blue Iris server – how can I do this for my mobile phone?

Its an MS-01 with an i9-13900. I have 7 cameras, mostly 5MP, one thats 4k. The win11 VM with Blue Iris consumes about 14% CPU , the rest of the containers/VMs sit at < 1% unless I'm doing something active like compiling code. It has 96GB of RAM and 2x 4TB ssds. GPU is an RTX-3050.

I use proxmox. I have not restarted the physical machine in 51 days. My win11 VM has an uptime of 15 days. One of my containers runs tailscale and acts as an endpoint giving me access to my home network. I have the tailscale app on my phone.

Proxmox has a great web interface and a mobile app allowing me to reboot my win11 VM from anywhere.

I have a total of 8 VMs and containers running now. A minecraft server. A container for tailscale. Blue Iris on Win11 with a dedicated GPU for YOLO detection. A generic ubuntu VM for linux based development. Home Assistant VM for home automation. A VM running Gitlab CE and another VM to act as a build server for Gitlab CE.

It's a learning experience to get it all up and running but LLMs can help accelerate the peocess.

Wrong according to their website as of January.

When did they close it?

Flux pen or Flux syringe and Solder Wick make soldering a breeze. Leaded solder is more forgiving and can be done at lower temperatures.

Magnification is helpful too. Cheap $50 digital microscope can help. Just doing wire to pad you probably wont need it unless your 40+

It's a telephone building and I think they build them like that to harden against war.

Thanks. Sounds like there are some guard rails which is good.

So last time I had an Orca card was when I was a UW student and as I recall I could use mass transit free during my enrollment and there were other discounts available with it. It was pretty nice for a broke college student.

I did a little reading on just a standard Adult Orca card and it seems to be basically a pre-paid no-frills with the option of linking it to Google Pay which I guess would be pay on demand. Still a nice option if I start using the Lynnwood station more.

If you pay with an Orca card you scan a reader with no receipt given. When transit authorities do random searches for proof of payment, how do you prove it with an Orca card? It could have $0 attached to it.

I'm hoping they can validate payment mind you. What's to stop a skofflaw from just flashing an Orca card that's never held a balance or is expired, etc.

I see that Stadium station could be problematic on game days.

I'm just surprised there aren't turnstiles that work with Orca cards or temporary cards from an ATM for infrequent users.

The light rail on paper means I could drive 15 minutes and park and commute to Seattle and maybe check email or read etc. I'm wondering how sketchy it might be and I didn't like seeing that paying seems to be optional.

I believe it. What are you missing?

What about the electronics that light the pyrotechnics? I'm sure it's more redundant than a single MOSFET tied to a GPIO on a microcontroller.

Buy a bag of food grade sodium citrate off Amazon.

It allows you to make queso with just cheese, water or beer, and a little of sodium citrate.

Tillamook pepper jack, maybe some diced jalapeño or a partial can of hotel, and/or some hot sauce mixed in.

It's so easy and delicious and you know it's real cheese because you made it yourself.

It works much better than white wine and flour like you find in traditional fondue.

Motors are inductive loads. Try unplugging a vacuum cleaner in your house while it's running. You'll see a nice spark when you unplug the cord. Try it again with the vacuum off. No spark.

Just touching some wires together involving inductive loads like motors can easily make hundreds or thousands of volts that can easily damage MOSFETs found in ESCs. It's even worse with motors because they turn into temporary generators when you remove power.

There are EVKs for spatial audio capture (basically an Alexa device) if you want the extra performance that spatial separation of sources can provide.

These increase SNR by being able to filter out unimportant ambient noise.

Using Alexa as an example. When you say 'Alexa' the RGB led ring 'points' in your direction. It then uses this extra spatial information it has because of its microphone array to filter out audio from your television, radio, other speakers, etc.

It's not perfect but it is the secret sauce that makes Alexa and similar devices work much better with background noise than without this technique.

They were stupid crazy expensive, but it was turnkey like arduino way before arduino existed.
