That’s why it’s not launching in China and not the Roman market.

Compared to what "heavyweight" distro at the time?

I hope this results in the return of more small independent coffee shops.

I used to love checking out the vibe of local coffee shops when I traveled.

Now it’s hard enough to find ones that haven’t been replaced with a generic Starbucks.

We are soon to find out if Flock blindly onboards random MAC addresses as new cameras.

If so, it seems anyone with the hardcoded key can authenticate with Flock ask if they were a new camera.

ClouDNS for DNS is good and cheap.

The more services you expect to be bundled with one provider, the more you will pushed towards bigger companies.

I sent this to my plumber to congratulate him on his career choice.

Turns out now he’s an electrician and his company got hired to help build an AI data center. 💀Sixty electricians from his company alone on one job. Drones surveilling the repetitive work overhead.

So much for escaping the impacts of AI.

In the 4.x series, reportedly packaging was updated to use a package using standard Arch packaging format.

 

It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! See linked video.

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

 

I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.
