EthicalSimilar··on Show HN: Open-source private home security camera system (end-to-end encryption)
Did you look into Scrypted? It is OSS. With HomeKit (which is how I use it) it is also E2EE. I’m not sure if their app is E2EE though, I only use HomeKit.

It’s pretty good and has an extensive ecosystem. The dev can be a bit… feisty though.

It’s very performant and easy to setup. I don’t use the NVR features as I already have an NVR, I essentially just use it for HomeKit integration of my cameras + doorbell.

EthicalSimilar··on Apple Intelligence notification summaries are pretty bad
Sometimes they work great and sometimes.. not so great. They definitely need some work.

I haven’t found them particularly useful but I also don’t get bombarded with notifications.

EthicalSimilar··on Lucid dreaming app triples users' awareness in dreams, study finds
Is it a case of not dreaming, or rather not remembering the dreams?

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around..

EthicalSimilar··on M4 MacBook Pro
As much as anyone can say otherwise, running Linux isn’t just a breeze. You will run into issues at some point, you will possibly have to make certain sacrifices regarding software or other choices. Yes it has gotten so much better over the past few years but I want my time spent on my work, not toying with the OS.

Another big selling point of Apple is the hardware. Their hardware and software are integrated so seamlessly. Things just work, and they work well. 99% of the time - there’s always edge cases.

There’s solutions to running Linux distros on some Apple hardware but again you have to make sacrifices.

EthicalSimilar··on Reverse-engineering my speakers' API to get reasonable volume control

EthicalSimilar··on US Navy successfully connects aircraft carrier to the cloud
It’s pretty crazy the technology that’s out there that we’ll never see / experience without working some high-level gov job.
EthicalSimilar··on Instagram tests forcing users to watch adverts
I use modified IPAs of any apps that serve me ads. It’s always weird when I use / see these apps on others devices and notice the amount of ads that get chucked at them.
EthicalSimilar··on Roll-Invert-Unroll: An easier way to replace a duvet cover
This is the way. I also use this method and change weekly. It’s pretty efficient, especially for larger duvets.

Huh, you really weren’t kidding..
EthicalSimilar··on macOS Sonoma 14.4 might break Java on your machine
I’ve been using macOS as my primary development environment for the past ~4 years and have loved every minute of it. I haven’t run into any of the issues you’ve mentioned thankfully, and docker works absolutely fine for my use cases. I can’t see myself ever switching for any reason.

EthicalSimilar··on Waze will now warn drivers about crash dangers using historical data
Or they pressed the report button on their screen, not too dissimilar to changing the AC. Or do you pull over before operating any of the controls in the car? :)

You can do it through voice assistant.
EthicalSimilar··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
Right? I’ve just setup my office and for now I’m using my MBP hooked up to a couple of Studio Displays - which I adore for software development. I was planning on picking up a Mac Mini or Mac Studio so that I could still have the MBP spare.

Maybe not. It’s a bit of a pain having to unplug and replug everything in, not to mention having windows and such shuffle around each time.

You can run UniFi console as software on any* device to manage the doorbell, which would then allow you to use Scrypted as the NVR and expose it to Home Assistant.
EthicalSimilar··on Privacy friendly ESP32 smart doorbell with Home Assistant local integration
The doorbell doesn’t require a UniFi NVR.

They have released a standalone POE product, separate from the WiFi offering which has the USB-C to POE cable.

The console can be self-hosted on any device.
