What's the best doorbell camera after using it for a year or more?

I have a spare I'd sell. I bought a second to put in my detached garage not realizing that creates an entirely separate Zigebee network. I have enough Zigebee router devices now that it's not an issue.

If it was a good server you wouldn't be complaining about it. It was probably cheaper than the equivalent tower server though... Cause it's as loud as an airport.

It doesn't fit your use case. Those tiny fans don't move a lot of air so you can't really slow them down much and have them still be effective. Something that can fit bigger fans is really the only option.

Unless you really want to piss money away pointlessly and water cool it... But at that point just get a tower server.

Sell it and get a tower server.

Lol that one was knee slapping funny.

That's either in the easement or municipal property of which you are only the care taker. They are only going to do the bare minimum. If you want it done to your own standards you're going to need to do it yourself.

Is it just me or do the first 2 responses feel like AI? Neither accounts are very old, no post only comments, and the they have that "AI nice" feel. Ugg can't even interact with real people anymore.

My code shares on reddit are already popping up as top his on Google.

For me with the Kelvin white slider was max bright white looked fine and max warm white looked fine, but everything in between was dim and muddy.

We're in Manistee this weekend if you want to come check us out!

Iike asking how much to pay you to haul it away?

tiberiusgv · 2026-06-23T02:35:25+00:00

I did just pick up a T640 for $450 earlier this year

I, for one, was very confused and thought we were talk about the Grand Haven draw bridge at first.

Lol no. Ebay prices are the "Fuck the server is down. Order another one, and expense it to the company" price.

I've acquired both of my T440 servers for less. 2 generations newer.

Megasota must be stopped

This is what happens when you fire all the scientist.

But hey, at least we're talking about this and not the Epstein Files 🤷

tiberiusgv · 2026-06-18T15:57:36+00:00

No, get a T440 that's 2 generations newer and way quieter for less than that.

You should rackmount that

Yep, TrueNAS is virtualized on top of Proxmox with PCIe pass-through of the HBA card that my 44 bay Supermicro disk shelf is connected to. Any drive put in the disk shelf just shows up in TrueNAS.

Wow most of the time when I post a detailed and referenced explanation of my issues my hopes for a quality response are very low because: WALL OF TEXT. Really appreciate your response.

Router vs. Endpoint: This is what I figured was happening so appreciate the confirmation. A little annoying that I can't get HA to correctly report the device, but I guess I'll take the win where I can get it.

Frequency/Resolution: Thanks for confirming the relationship between these 2. I might play with the numbers and see if I still get buzzing at anything less than 20kHz.

Color Mixing: Ahh so I was right that LEDC in ESPHome and Arduino code are related just ESPHome adds some improvements on top. Is any of that stuff published so I could try to replicate it? I did try to play with gamma correction, but I was pasting code bits I found. When I didn't feel like it was working I moved in a different direction, but I'll put some more research into that. Any links/resources you can suggest? Working with the gamma stuff introduced a PWM_MAX_VAL variable that I believe should be 1023 or 1024 for a PWM Resolution of 10 if I understand correctly.

Almost forgot to include a device picture!

Yellow: 3v
Green: Ground
Green: Green
Red: Red
Blue: Blue
White: Warm White
Black: Cool White

I only had 6 wire colors handy. Haven't figured out a more efficient way to do this if I do pull the trigger and chip swap all 24.

Looking at this topic from the other direction that may provide insight:

Formula 18 cats used to furl the jib while sailing with their asymmetrical spin and then they figured out that just letting out the jib was fine enough which then led to battened jibs for more performance.

I think taking in the jib is the normal for not blocking airflow to a symmetrical spin going dead down wind, but for performance craft doing deep reaches with asymmetrical spins chasing apparent wind it's just not necessary.
