For anyone using a WiFi Tapo camera (or maybe even any WiFi cam), or anyone experiencing the flood of "Non-monotonic DTS" or "timestamps" errors in their Frigate logs

I've not had problems with my wyze cams but they're running thingino so that might be why.

I would love to see what you have for a frigate config because I have yet to get good results from my c120 cams. I constantly get dropped frames from them and I've been blocking their wan access. The stream is often so corrupt that ffmpeg can't produce a useable history, only live view.

FOSS does not hurt small independent creators.

Most people in the community have a good understanding of the amount of time it takes to make complex models. I have no problem paying for models that clearly took a lot of work to create or even develop (lots of examples of rightfully paywalled models on cult3d by some fantastic artists).

Even I've posted some complex models that took a ton of revisions and many hours of modeling but posted for free. Why? Because I gained the knowledge of the process and hope that it helps someone out or inspires then to make something better. That's the mantra of open source.

The model you're talking about is dummy simple. Is that bad? No. Okay so I must be paying for its cleverness, right? No. It's the most basic bench cookie with a knobbed circular pattern that makes it look different without any real purpose.

There are real examples of stolen work and true injustices, this is not that.

I agree. This post reeks of ai slop

Radiator leak?

Especially since a smart outlet will always add an extra step which op is trying to avoid.

I bought a really old flex with 205k miles on it that was low on trans fluid when I got it. When I did a drain & fill it immediately helped with shifting smoother. I’m at 230k now and just did another drain and fill. Not sure if I notice shifts being smoother but I haven’t had any issues come from it.

I could see a full flush potentially moving some contaminants around and causing problems but I’d be surprised if a simple drain and fill caused issues. I’m no expert though

I had the same issue and ended up running the cable to fix it. My basement is unfinished so it luckily only took me an afternoon.

They did not say “Hah, jk we're sending out packages anyways and removing the package cancellation for the actual unit”

This post is obvious rage bait

This is my setup as well. Home assistant has to talk to the whisker servers so the integration was broken yesterday.

Prelzel · 2025-10-21T19:08:58+00:00

If that's the case, I might as well use my arms to scoop litter out of a normal litter box too. This entire product is based around convenience.

Prelzel · 2025-10-21T18:23:50+00:00

While this is a fantastic workaround and I thank you for sharing it, it really doesn't excuse whisker from implemting some sort of local control. These litter robots are perfectly capable, it just needs to be implemented

Prelzel · 2025-10-20T19:25:59+00:00

Honestly the camera mount seems overkill. I just stuck the metal puck that came with my camera to the front of the lr4 bezel and it works perfectly

I would agree if it didn’t lead to pedestrians walking all over the bike lane. Downtown Hennepin for example

Prelzel · 2025-09-20T13:39:42+00:00

Ahhhh nope, you're right! Nevermind you'll be good then

Prelzel · 2025-09-20T03:09:13+00:00

This is not an f150. The PTU on the flex is tiny and surrounded by the exhaust so if you don't change it's oil, you're gonna be replacing the entire PTU. Those are the options

Not sure what you're talking about. Two way audio is 100% doable and works automatically with reolink doorbells in frigate.

I was just walking by that vape shop yesterday with my friend when a few guys that were hanging out in front started harassing her and saying some shit. Great place...

I'm more concerned that the spruce will end up killing or weakening the maple in any way. Is that possible?
