    BIG Owl on my Trail

    She was supervising! It's a very important job. But she contributed significantly effort at the end; it was really hard to pull uphill, even on that gentle slope. We were both sweating by the time we were finished.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Max towing speed on that splitter is 45 mph, and it was an hour away by freeway. But yes, for local service visits &c, I can tow it. Now I just have to get a hitch installed on my own car.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Unloading this 525 lb. log splitter was an adventure! No one could have predicted how this would end, well, except everyone :rofl: Don't ever ask me to engineer a ramp, nor design an unloading procedure

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    First (and only?) coyote pup of 2026: I normally see pups earlier, and usually a litter of 3-5, and once as many as 7. So maybe they're having a tough year, or maybe she's been taking them on a different route.

    Upgrading my machine - P cores and E cores?

    It's available again, for $505, which is actually quite reasonable given today's RAM prices. This makes an excellent BI machine, out of the box, without any additional upgrades other than storage.

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I think I'm starting to see the light on this approach. At work I found myself with a need to host a public-facing web server from an on-prem machine, which scares the bejeezus out of me, based on my latest experience with port-forwarding. Then I realized that I could spin up a VM on a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hmm. Did something change in this recently? I scaled everything the way I want and turned off Fit to Viewport, and it looks correct in Timeline if I'm current/live: but if I go back in time even one tick, I get these small black areas between the cameras: if I go forwards to Live, then the...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I'm running 28+ cameras on a cheap refurb PC that I got off of amazon for $372 a year ago (costs more now), and it's been zero hassles. I migrated from an even cheaper PC that had been running BI for 4 years, and migration was as easy as moving over the config file. My storage space is a JBOD...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Red Tailed Hawk Bonks Me on Head, 05/16/26 Mild-mannered gardener on his way to do some orchard maintenance, and BAM!!! I'm lucky she didn't hit me with her talons. S/he just gave me a bump on the noggin' to remember. Seems like s/he was ok, the way s/he flew away. The side view shows her...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    It was all Claude! I was just watching. It was actually funny; Claude was soooo convinced that 100% of my performance issues were because of this logging thing, and then when it found the malware it actually put exclamation points on its response put its response in ALL CAPS:

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    No luck. I've put it in as Generic/MJPEG Stream, but no combination of port number in the URL or in the Media port or Discovery port results in video. I always get an HTTP 400: Bad Request. And I have the protocol set to https, exactly as it is in my working browser link, and the path to the...

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    My cat is at a specialty vet for radio iodine therapy, and they've provided me with a link to her live webcam: https://webcams.avmi.net:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480 plus a case-sensitive username and password. These work in my browser, and I'm watching her now. I can't...
