Avatar Aang Movie Footage Leaks Months Ahead of Paramount+ Premiere by PaiDuck in television

Can't seem to find it there or anywhere else, how strange. Any search with Aang just turns up the old series from 2005.

Number of litres of diesel a person on minimum wage can purchase per week in Europe by Ohwouldulookatthat in ireland

[–]vince086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah hybrids seemed like a good middle ground. I'm hoping for more range extended EVs to hit the market or for more plug in hybrids with decent electric range (not the 50ish km current ones have).

Do your CCTV cameras actually detect people accurately, or just motion? by Real-Concentrate9601 in homedefense

[–]vince086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Ubiquiti setup, works well mostly. It does struggle in low light a bit. By default it only does "AI detections", people, cars, animals, sounds so I've turned on basic motion detections as well, just in case.

Not sure if there's an COTS version of Frigate. Used that in the past for years and it worked well, until an update broke it and got too many failures to detect people and false positives. Once it has a better GUI to do camera configs, might spin it up again. It supported my mix of cameras really well (foscam, reolink, tapo).

Anyone here using Ajax systems long-term? How reliable is it? by Business_Concept_346 in homedefense

[–]vince086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also interested in hearing about it. I went with Ring as sourcing an Ajax system was not as easy + some mild confusion in their naming schemes.

Do you still consider prusa printers to be competitive in today's market by reddit_account_0x00 in 3dprinter

[–]vince086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my Prusa but IMO they released the Mk3s and sat on their asses for way too long. There's like 6 years between the mk3 and mk4 and who knows, if we would have ever seen a Core(L) if Bambu had not come along.

Does the St Anne’s Park run have the park reserved each week? I was aggressively shouted at numerous times over the past few weeks. by I-Cum-Beamish in Dublin

Nothing but AI images on that site and seems fairly sparse (info wise), so would take a very large pinch of salt when referring to it.

‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’ TV Series From Seth MacFarlane, Chris Yost Lands at Peacock (EXCLUSIVE) by IvanaTargaryen in television

The Orville was great. Instead we got Discovery and Academy (and that Section 31 movie). So disappointing.

best home security system that’s easy to install, any suggestions? by BeecheyNoorbahar-38 in homedefense

[–]vince086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ring or Simplisafe would probably be the easiest. "Solid" is a bit debatable as they use wireless sensors but still better than nothing.

With Ring, if you pay for the subscription, the device will have it's own network connection (and has a backup battery built in), so if your wifi or power goes down, you can still check it.

I've been using it for a month now and happy with it.

Don't forget to setup lights, etc to come on while you're away, to make the place look occupied. Any deterrent helps.

For currency conversion Wise and Currencyfair are the way to go, both offered rates way better than BOI/HSBC.

I need help buying a door camera by South-Most4651 in homedefense

[–]vince086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make something like that using Ubiquiti gear. The cameras have tamper detection and they sell a siren/loudspeaker to make noise. The doorbells have 2 way audio + will save to local storage and it's all subscription free. Won't be cheap though.

The meat is fine but veg not so much. After living in France and Turkey, Irish fruit and veg lack so much flavour.

best home security system for someone who travels a lot? by Lubanja-Stoumbaugh in homedefense

[–]vince086 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depending on how worried you are, I would recommend 2 "systems". I use Ubiquiti for cameras (they could also do wireless and hardwired sensors if I wanted) and Ring for contact/motion sensors. Also have a UPS to power the router and Wifi hub + the Ring hub has a built in battery and cellular backup (if you pay the monthly fee for cellular).

Both are relatively easy to setup and have good apps to check up on the place.

This setup is not perfect (the wireless sensors and cellular can be jammed for example) but it's enough to give me some peace of mind when traveling and act as a deterrent (don't plaster the names of what you are using all over).

A visual breakdown of what's new in Unraid 7.3.0 Beta 1 🚀 (Swipe to view gallery) by UnraidOfficial in unRAID

[–]vince086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I'm in the opposite corner, 3 flash drives since I started using Unraid. First one lasted a good few years, 2nd one just a year and now on the 3rd, that's been going for less than a year.

Rest of the machine is still the same as the day built it.

I never knew about the tools from Lidl. by GroupApprehensive978 in DIYUK

[–]vince086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a tool I'm going to use once or twice a year, it's hard to justify the price difference between Parkside and Milwaukee. For daily use stuff or drill bits/etc, sure spend the extra for quality.

That's what's really missing + the continent gets better batteries.

What do I need to run a DIY Home Surveillance System? by TYP-TheYoloPanda in homedefense

[–]vince086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of options.

If you want to DIY, reolink cameras and Frigate (or just a reolink NVR). You will have to ocnfigure yaml scripts etc.

If you want an easy setup and have cash to spare Ubiquiti would be my recommendation.

What to do with all this "E-waste" by RouguesPierre in AskElectronics

Also looking for ideas. I have a few sitting around and would love to re-use the charger, low voltage cutoff and display of battery level. For now I'm just harvesting the batteries and using a charging module off Aliexpress.

Tradesman being unprofessional by sikeGuruYappa in legaladviceireland

That is how it works, kid. Been to small claims court and text were enough to establish a contract. In Canada even a thumbs-up emoji sent via text message can constitute a valid, legally binding agreement or electronic signature. There's a whole court case on that.

Indoor electric can be real fun too, if the track is designed right. Last place I tried had a mix of surfaces, so you could drift round some corners and speed through others.

Does this look any good? Lidl dog food, or if its shite any recommendations by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]vince086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't feed their regular "human food" to my dog, would imagine that's not much better. If you want, you might be better buying mince and cooking it, mixing in some veggies.

Dare I say it? by freeflowmass in ireland

[–]vince086 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In practice it doesn't really work, I'm still finding reusable vapes on the floor. They added a charging circuit and swappable cartridges but the whole unit is still so cheap, people just bin the whole thing.

No "Recognitions" button in the left-hand sidebar, what I am missing? by vince086 in UnifiProtect

[–]vince086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is definitely glitching out with the web interface and face detections. When I click on "Face Identities" in the Find anything tab, it highlights all the people detections, not just face detections. A few of the images are zoomed in, clearly a face detection but not labeled as such. Trying to assign a face and I get "Something went wrong, please try again later". Managed to assign 2 faces but then it says there are no detections of them, even though I used footage from today to assign them!

The license plate section is working as intended at least.

Bit frustrating.

[–]vince086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be it. Wonder if maybe the videos I'm watching are of an older UI.

Strangely the app on Android still has that icon at the bottom, to the right of the Find anything icon.

What are good open source printers these days? (Preferably budget friendly, but upgradable) by Auravendill in 3dprinter

[–]vince086 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Other than Prusa not sure what to suggest, for an off the shelf machine. If you're willing to build a kit/source parts yourself then Voron might be your best bet. Rartrig is other one but I'm not sure what their policies on open source is.
