Cool attitude, bro. I don’t believe what I want, but I do believe facts

Nowhere in the continental US can a person afford rent on minimum wage working a full time job

This is wrong. You’re talking about the fact that a single person living alone on average cannot afford average rents in any state, but rents can be found at below average prices, and more importantly, many 2-3 room options are affordable when 2-3 minimum wage workers live together and combine their incomes. Living alone is a luxury and frankly, a quite wasteful one. There are more than twice as many people than houses in the USA source so to have everyone living alone would require considerable ruinous environmental destruction and expansion. Maybe YOU should be hanged for suggesting it! (I’m kidding of course)

And it's the fault of landlords jacking up prices because they could get away with it.

Proof? Evidence? You’re going to need to be pretty damn convincing if you want me to join your rally to hang everyone involved.

So if I get married and move into a new house and we now have two incomes, so we decide to rent the old house instead of selling it.. the answer is death by hanging? For both of us? Kids too? My parents helped me buy the first house.. they culpable as well?

I’m in the airport waiting for my flight, my 4 year old daughter sitting on the floor next to me, drawing doodles on my arm, trying (and failing) not to bawl like a baby

Just how deep does the Singaporean conspiracy go???

 

Hello, and thank you in advance.

I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
