Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?
It's so disheartening to still face the jab being promoted by "higher" education system medical centers... I had my last round of appointments with nephrology/surgery recently in order to go active on the kidney transplant list (been on it inactive for 6.5 years). They strongly suggested I get... -

5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue
Now that is some of the most insightful info I've seen in a while... But this statement "All Motion / IVS / Face / VMD analysis is done on camera on uncompressed material, the same for all snapshots. So compressed material is only to live view / playing history footage." makes me wonder then if... -

Home insurance rate increases
Insurance "collective" for the entire state is requesting a 99% increase for houses within about 1/2 mile of beach... in my zip code, 1.5 miles from intercoastal, they're asking for a 71.4% increase, which for storm insurance would bring it up to $5100/year... then add basic homeowners, and... -

Hurricane Helene - Be safe y'all
Referring to Milton now? Overnight morphed into Cat 4! I'd probably evacuate for that if I were in coastal FL. While I am coastal NC, our geography is quite different, where I'm at the avg elevation is probably about 30 feet, still... considering the damage that can happen far inland, I've... -

FEMA is Worthless and the US Government is a Fucking Joke
And sadly, so many people (majority?) aren't even aware of the situation either by being brain dead or only watching MSM, oh wait, those are synonymous. Granted, me being sensitized to hurricanes here, I have a much greater interest. Still, I've sent links to family members "up north" and they... -

Beer is one of the food group preps for a hurricane... I just chuckle when I go for some last minute stuff at the store, and the liquor section is always bare, along with bread and perishables, you know, for when there's no power for the fridge... -

Are You Ready?
Oh hey gary, fellow ham... you see the news story out of Charlotte about the "old technology" used to get in touch with and help all those people? Yep, ham radio. I'd use my call sign, except it would point to my physical address... KJ4xxx territory here... At 1:28 in vid -

Are You Ready?
An eye opener... I'm in Wilmington, been thru hurricanes since '98, nothing even close to what they are experiencing. Already have a whole house gen, but only twin 120 tanks. Just yesterday ordered an Ecoflow Delta Max 2 "solar generator" and a 4kw dual fuel inverter gen as backup. Starting to... -

Home insurance rate increases
I finally shopped around a bit this year and found that although I might be able to get lower auto rates, home rates would go up (when bundling for extra discount). In the end not worth $100-200 to leave my current carrier. Auto took a noticeable jump, and I've got no claim history, no tickets... -

Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret
Well, I haven't set up a new cam in a while, had an older cam die and replaced it with this one... For the life of me, I can't find where to set the focal length. Could be a browser problem. Tried Edge in compatibility mode, but it wouldn't even let me type a login. Using both Edge and Chrome I... -

Natural Gas Generators
:) How many of us have a spare pi laying around? LOL Just had annual service, yeah, could do it myself, but while under warranty, I'd rather the installer do the work... I need to get cracking with my pi... I think I'll go with an RS485 to wifi and keep the pi in the house... -

Natural Gas Generators
I better get on it, 5 days into hurricane season!!!!!!!! Since my gen has an RS-485 interface, I think I'd go with a pi hat and run rs485 wire from gen inside house, short enough to not affect data, and keeping electronics inside... then again, I should probably worry about induction/surge on... -

Natural Gas Generators
Inflation... my Briggs & Stratton installed 2 years ago (22kW?) was $10-11k, I got some discount for cash. Propane was another $1500-2k I think, tank "rental", install, + first fill (twin 120 gal)? Yeah, hookup to NG should be cheaper than propane... -

Interesting... I've got a Briggs & Stratton, and it's covered by genmon... and a spare pi gathering dust... What's your method for viewing the info dashboards off the pi? Just remote into it?
