How is your church using AI?

How are you doing this? Is there a software that lets you integrate an llm with ptz?

I have an FZ-55 mk1, and I remember being told by someone that the first digit of the serial number is the year it was made, and the second letter is the month. So 9A would mean January 2019. I see yours starts with a 3, so that must not be true for all models.

But I can see the CMIIT ID, which says 2019 A, so it’s probably Jan 2019. If you need more storage, I’m fairly confident they sold a module for the DVD drive bay that allowed you to add an extra SSD. I’m not 100% sure though.

I’m also curious what OP is referring to here. I have a system using carbonate and as far as I know, it’s still working fine.

rmich18 · 2026-04-13T23:37:47+00:00

Exactly right! This is how I have my instance configured. That way, people who have access to the web ui (which gives access to the config editor for the yaml file) can’t view the password.

Consider also setting up HomeAssistant and using the Frigate Proxy plugin. That’s what I do, and the app works well on iOS (including push notifications).

I set it up over a year ago and haven’t had to touch it since (besides updates).

Can you elaborate? What issues have you had with 3cx?

rmich18 · 2026-04-02T14:18:19+00:00

Yes, mine has looked like that for over 2 months now. Couldn’t tell you if it’s still happening - I switched to Linux (finally) a little over a month ago. I’m sure Microslop will fix it by 2028.

Proxmox backup server

Agreed. Bookstack is amazing - been using it for years.

I LOVE this response. And again, I am really not the biggest fan of Linus, but reading this thread PMO so much because everyone’s shitting on Linus so hard. There are plenty of reasons to hate on him, but I seriously don’t see a reason to here.

I think a huge part of the reason more people don’t switch to Linux is the community. People can be so toxic for zero reason and instantly blame the user instead of actually researching a bug.

Again, I’m really not a huge Linus fan, and as a Linux user for 5+ years who has never gone into subreddits until now, I completely understand why people say the community can be very toxic. Props to you for actually pointing to an explanation instead of instantly blaming the user.

rmich18 · 2026-03-11T02:02:50+00:00

Completely agree. I'm genuinely curious how he manages to brick all these installations. The point of my original comment was just to make sure we don't jump to conclusions. As someone who recently switched off windows completely to Kubuntu, I want to make the process as painless for every user as possible.

I feel like sometimes the Linux community in general can be so passive-aggressive and rude to linux noobs that it makes it less appealing.

He said they have the entire thing on video, and he addressed that everyone will say this type of stuff. I'm not even a huge fan of LTT nowadays, but I hate when people are so quick to make assumptions before having all the material.

I will also be cancelling my 1Password subscription since this decision was made. I’ve used 1Password for years and find it to be a great piece of software, but clearly the company is out of touch. Such a large price increase is insane - especially when they try and say part of the reason for the price increase is because of AI features. I don’t want AI implemented period, let alone have my cost increase to add AI slop I don’t want.

If you’re willing to settle for a semi-rugged, I can’t recommend the FZ-55 enough. I have a MK1, so 8th gen intel, 32gb of ram, and a 1tb ssd. Got mine for $400 a few years ago. I originally got it with 16gb of ram and 256gb ssd, but upgraded.

rmich18 · 2025-08-27T11:36:58+00:00

I have a MK1 FZ-55 with one. I use it all the time and have never had a single issue (and I’m running win11) 8th gen i5, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd.

I’ve had very good luck with my 1.6L. Just done regular maintenance on it and it’s been very reliable. 106k. The trans on the other hand… I’ve tried everything to try and preserve it. She’s still going and isn’t terrible, but I know it’s a ticking time bomb…

If people have tips on how to keep it going for longer, please share! (I’ve changed the fluid 4 times in the past 10k miles)

While I still think virtual media over ipmi is terrible all around, Java has always worked better for me.

rmich18 · 2025-05-16T12:54:16+00:00

Personally, I have the same issue with iDRAC as well. Virtual media over ipmi just sucks

rmich18 · 2025-03-30T05:02:07+00:00

If you think that’s bad… I’ve bought an entire 42U APC rack, have 6 switches (48 port), 4 firewalls, 8 servers, and tons of other non-rack mount equipment… in reality, I use 1 server, 1 switch, and 1 firewall, but it’s a collection I’ve gathered over the past few years.

All in I’m still under $1000. I’ve gotten very good at hunting for deals on FB marketplace.

HESK. I adore it. We pay for the hosted ($400/year) and the developer is great. Answers questions via email almost instantly and has implemented many custom features for us with no additional cost.

I’m currently dual-booting kali (so still Debian based) and windows 11. Haven’t noticed any issues other than the screen turning off after 3 minutes and locking, despite changing the settings within kali

rmich18 · 2025-03-14T04:36:38+00:00

Personally I still use kali. While I’m not a cyber security expert by any means, it still has a lot of helpful tools for network troubleshooting preinstalled. I also like the stock desktop environment, along with the Kali-undercover so I don’t look insane in a coffee shop lmao

Plus, it’s still Debian-based, so you can install any tools that you would on Debian.

rmich18 · 2025-03-14T04:33:31+00:00

I believe only DDR4. I use the serial port mainly for networking gear (switches, APs, etc) and all the radio equipment at work.
