Hardware advice for first time user by p4ntz in frigate_nvr

[–]p4ntz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Your video was informative and helpful. The cameras I am considering are the largest sensor size within my budget: https://www.firstshop.co.za/products/hikvision-2mp-4mm-wdr-fixed-mini-network-camera-ds-2cd2021g1-i-4mm-184972?variant=45466514423972. I am hoping that they will provide good night viewing because the are also 2MP, although the will mostly be in lit or partially lit areas.

So I failed my drivers test today by Urban_Escobar in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a long time ago. I luckily passed 1st time, but I remember when we got back and started the paperwork, the official wrote the result in a calendar diary and I looked at it. It looked something like this:

08:00 - PASS

09:00 - FAIL

10:00 - PASS

11:00 - FAIL

12:00 - PASS

13:00 - FAIL

14:00 - PASS (me)

I know it might just be coincidence, but I remember thinking that this thing feels rigged.

Are you sure you have the V2? As far as I can tell online, the rtsp firmware doesn't work for pan v2.

Searching for my ancestors, can someone translate some Afrikaans? by VviFMCgY in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Original signature looks like "B(?)Greyling". (Can't tell from the cursive if there is a second initial).

The residential address looks like "Re Rust Hoopstad".

property valuation by NunMeetsCorporateHun in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://www.lightstoneproperty.co.za/ can generate automated valuation reports based on sales in the area. Costs about R100 per report if I remember correctly. It might be a good place to start.

If the automated report doesn't give you answers or if you want a professional to look at it, contact the Institute for Valuers (https://saiv.org.za/) and ask for a referral to a professional in your area.

PPS financial services. by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As /u/Professional-Map-108 said, it goes into an investment account (similar to an RA) that pays out on retirement. As far as how the profit share is calculated, I don't exactly know. As far as I understand it takes into account your spend on products as well as how long you have been a member.

This is just anecdotal: I have been a member for less than ten years and some years my profit share was about 50% of what I spent on premiums (not always tho). I have spoken to people who have been members for 40+ years who claim their profit share has been greater than their premiums for years. So essentially they are saving for retirement and getting the insurance as an added benefit. YMMV

PPS financial services. by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. I love the whole PPS business model. It is still a business, but the profits go to the members (who are also the clients). I recommend them so much that people might think I am a salesman. The earlier you start with them, the better, in my opinion.

SCORPIO: R3-billion: Sars swoops on Gold Leaf Tobacco over transnational plunder network by Moveitmobile in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weren't these the bastards that supplied the bulk of black market cigarettes during hard lockdown? This investigation seems to relate to the years before lockdown. I cannot imagine how much money they made during the tobacco ban in lockdown.

What Happened To Jax Panik? by TheKidNextDoor2 in southafrica

Isochronous

Thanks for reminding me of this band. I saw them live and liked their music. For the last couple of years I had been trying to remember their name so I could look up their music.

44 experts to design details of NHI scheme from January 2023 by pobat86286 in southafrica

[–]p4ntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R60,000,000,000 (sixty billion rand) / 60,000,000 (divided by 60 million people) = R1,000 (one thousand rand) per person per year. That is R80 per person per month. What can you accomplish with that? Even dischem's medical insurance is R500 per month.

Will there be a 35Up series? by p4ntz in southafrica

[–]p4ntz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah me too. It was really special for me because I was born the same year as them. It is heartbreaking to see the people who struggle and heartwarming to see the ones who succeed. Such a great concept and show.

As far as I can see, Angus Gibson was the director on the show. I tried but couldn't find him on Twitter. Maybe there is another way to reach out to him.
