The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread

I'm using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.

Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).

It's a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.

Click the first link on a Wikipedia page that is not a date or a pronunciation and is not in italics. Do that on each subsequent page until you get to Philosophy.

The game is to find a subject that is the farthest from Philosophy.

One of the billionaires who owns Clarence Thomas did have business before the court and he didn't recuse himself.

One of his clerks received 7 payments for thousands of dollars via venmo labelled "Clarence Thomas Christmas party" from conservative lawyers who have argued cases before the court.

The lawyers who made the Venmo transactions were: Patrick Strawbridge, a partner at Consovoy McCarthy who recently successfully argued that affirmative action violated the US constitution; Kate Todd, who served as White House deputy counsel under Donald Trump at the time of the payment and is now a managing party of Ellis George Cipollone’s law office; Elbert Lin, the former solicitor general of West Virginia who played a key role in a supreme court case that limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions; and Brian Schmalzbach, a partner at McGuire Woods who has argued multiple cases before the supreme court.

I don't have AC and haven't really needed it this year. I'm way north in New Hampshire.

We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it's warmer out and the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to keep it there.

There are a lot of American Catholics who think Pope Francis is a false Pope because he pays hollow lip service to poor people.

They are above hypocrisy. They'll simply redefine their religion, whether through splinter groups or on a personal level to make it consistent with their greed.

Dime Store Adventures makes videos about discovering and researching minor historical events.

One of my favorites is when he heard a local legend about the reason one gravestone in a small cemetery is much larger than all the rest. The legend was that the man hated his family so much that he decided to exhaust his estate with the most expensive gravestone possible. He shows how he figures out whether it was true by reading old newspapers and visiting historical societies.

Did you not see how that turned from a really inconsequential disagreement to something emotional and personal almost immediately?

Sure, no single post was particularly toxic on its own. It's the holy war tenor of discussions on Phoronix that all but guarantees that every discussion ends up as a flame war.

That's hilarious.

American flag apparel/stickers.

Sometimes old people who are progressive(ish?) will have American flags on their house, but only serious chuds buy American flag shirts.
