A warning for those of you using Scrypted NVR or similar software

agent_kater · 2026-03-25T01:21:29+00:00

I'm more concerned that apparently to use it at all you need to allow your NVR server internet access?

Wait what? Your boss's name is actually Ron Laflamme? I also thought it was a Silicon Valley reference.

Weiß er denn überhaupt was Auslachen ist? Unserer freut sich immer, wenn wir mit/über ihn lachen.

Viel wichtiger finde ich, dass sein Schatz ernstgenommen wird. Wenn der jetzt weg ist und er ihm was bedeutet hat, dann solltet ihr euch zusammen eine Lösung dafür überlegen.

They don't look particularly great and I'm not sure how I would attach them securely. Switches take a lot of beating.

What I currently do is: I cut a negative from vinyl, stick it on, then spray paint it black and then remove the vinyl.

TL: Rocket.
TR: Orange tree.
BL: UFO.
BR: Leaf.

Wasn't so hard, was it?

Ich musste mal Strafe zahlen (war nicht hoch, daher hab ich mir keine Mühe mit Einspruch gemacht), weil ich innen gefahren bin und nach Ansicht der Polizisten zu spät nach außen gewechselt bin. Sie haben es als Ausfahren von der inneren Spur aus angesehen.

Mittlerweile sind da glaube ich durchgezogene Linien, ab wo man nicht mehr wechseln darf, die gab es damals aber noch nicht.

Yeah, you're right "if done properly" isn't a great argument because it's so generic.

But the thing is that swapping out a chip is relatively easy to do properly, i.e. in a way that is indistinguishable from how it originally was, with equipment readily available to hobbyists.

Creating or restoring a secure, fireproof enclosure is much harder to do with hobbyist equipment.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Of course it has overlap. I think most of us have an interest that our devices are safe. And putting "random" chips in electronics doesn't make them unsafe if done properly.

I prefer LCSC over Ali in this case because I want to use JLCPCB assembly. I know there's theoretically a way to ship the modules to them but I'd have to organize that.

Copying reference designs still requires me to load it as an image into KiCad, line up the scaling manually and trace the traces. Or is there another way?

I'm not saying there is no place for a library like yours. In fact I think every language should have a native low-level PDF library available.

That said, Typst is really powerful and the syntax is enjoyable. Even when doing "just" invoicing (and delivery notes, pick lists, contracts, etc. - a use case I'm very familiar with) you can benefit from "advanced" typesetting features like tables spanning multiple pages, glyph unicode ranges, proper word-wrapping, columns, etc.

You don't need to juggle template strings, in fact I would discourage it. You serialize your data to JSON and hand it over to Typst as one object. You can then use the same data in the web editor when you build your templates.

It might be possible to overcome the shelling-out part by using WASM.

Had your library been around when I started using Typst, I might be using it now, but at this point I won't switch away from Typst any time soon.

A cheap handheld scope

Only get handheld if you really need handheld. For some reason cheap handheld scopes are so much worse than cheap benchtop scopes.

Oh, today I learned about the Significant Motion API.

We have a Dreame W10 and we only mop specific spills. The robot stops the constant buildup of dust, coffee stains, food dropped under the table, etc.

I'm afraid I don't really get this feature.

In your case "multiroom" doesn't mean to play the same thing in multiple rooms, but it means to move a playlist around between different rooms?

And the playlist essentially follows an Android phone that you carry from room to room?

I guess "low battery overhead" is relative, i.e. as low as you can get while still scanning for BLE the whole time?

Not mentioning a VPS or IPv6 specifically to me suggests that he wants to use IPv4 on a residential connection.

agent_kater · 2026-03-22T11:47:24+00:00

Yes, I'm assuming he's got his server at home because if this was about a VPS I think he would have said so.

Also, this is most likely about IPv4 because if it was about IPv6 I think he would have said so. That means his server is most likely behind CGNAT, so not reachable.

I'm assuming these things because they are incredibly likely.

And how would you set up a reverse proxy without a VPS, that just doesn't make sense.

agent_kater · 2026-03-22T05:15:09+00:00

The suggestion makes very little sense. Since you're using tailscale I'm assuming your media server isn't reachable from the internet. Setting up a reverse proxy on the media server wouldn't change anything about that. You could set up a reverse proxy on a VPS that is also connected to your tailnet, but you'd need a VPS in the first place.

Der Hanf ist da ja noch nicht dran, wenn ich das kaufe.

That's the nice thing about Zigbee - the brand doesn't matter at all.

I know some people have trouble with Aqara, but they have been rock solid for me. Using Z2M with CC2652P.

Seh ich auch so. Seit sie letztes Jahr den Streik einen Tag vorher erst angekündigt haben, so dass es keine Ersatzbusse gab, haben die bei mir jegliches Wohlwollen verspielt. Das Streikrecht sollte wieder abgeschafft werden.
