I totally agree with everything you said here. I just cannot imagine wearing ear buds for 15-18 hours straight every day as a solution for my hearing loss. I almost don't even notice my aids in my ears anymore.

PSA: Take care of your ears everyone, hearing loss sucks big time.

Yes, and I seriously doubt this is for moderate to severe loss. Most aids for that category get custom molds of the ear canal. Very likely this is about getting approval for the hearing test and subsequent audio curves.

As a hearing aid wearer myself, I would question the validity of this as a viable alternative to real hearing aids for moderate to severe loss.

Of course many people with hearing loss will use these instead of getting professionally tested and fitted.

This is what I do… find a comfortable position, then start relaxing all of your muscles.

Start with your toes .. given them a wiggle and relax them. Slowly move up your body into your torso… then down your arms, and finally your neck and head.

I’m usually out before I get to my arms.

Amazing and intense. One of the best I’ve ever witnessed.

Non-cloud cams with an nvr all the way. I won’t touch the cloud based services. My go to is currently Reolink.

My brother has self published a book about our family’s history. This book has been a work in progress by multiple family members over decades, but it’s finally done!

Below is a copy of the description from the linked website.

If you enjoy WW II history and live stories, you might like this view into the past.

———————————-

Louise and Albert is a vivid portrait of life, love, and World War II in 1945 through the letters of Louise (Glasner) Reeves and former United States Congressman and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lieutenant Colonel Albert Reeves, Jr.

As Albert dealt with his challenges in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II, Louise dealt with the rationing challenges and fears of never seeing her husband again while running a household, raising their two children and expecting their third child.

The book also chronicles the family’s efforts to battle corruption in Kansas City and Albert’s time in Congress, representing Missouri’s 5th Congressional District. The time after the war included many challenges for the U.S. and Congressman Reeves - government debt, inflation, foreign aid, food and manufacturing shortages, and lingering government corruption. Corruption, before and after the war, involved election fraud to win seats for machine party candidates. This corruption ended up tainting the Truman presidency.

Included in the book is the dramatic history of the diplomacy, combat, and engineering activities to build the Ledo Road – one of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ greatest achievements.

This is neat.. I just tried “faceting lemmy” and my community came up on top.

This is me almost every morning around 5am.. 😭

Yep, Reolink app pulls from your nvr… I think the only use of the cloud is authentication purposes. So make sure you have a good network connection. 😉

I have my entire house perimeter covered with them. Have I integrated them with HA? No. I don’t feel like I need to. The mobile app and notifications works well for me as does the desktop app.

The only time they acted weird was due to a spider web going across the lens. At night with wind it would trigger random motion alarms. My own damn fault for not cleaning them more often.

Edit: One last point, having the recordings local instead of the cloud is a big plus for me and their NVR works well.

I found it entertaining but a bit shallow in terms of dialog. It felt aimed at the younger crowd. Don’t get me wrong it was most definitely a fun read.

Thanks for the suggestion! I had no idea that community existed. I just cross posted.

Anyone remember LPMuds? (www.lostsouls.org)

A post in another community reminded me of my deep dark past. A time where I helped build an LPMud from the ground up. Lost Souls. Amazingly this MUD is STILL up and running after more than 33 YEARS.

I'm no longer on it, or even have an account. In fact I think they blocked my username along with the other wizards who were the original builders to preserve history in some fashion. My username here is the same as it was there. 😀

If you have ever played a MUD, check it out. If you haven't you might want to dip your toes in and see what it's about. If you do decide to hop on and the user Chaos is online, tell him I said hi. 🙃
