  • The Secrets of Sega Channel: VGHF recovers over 100 Sega Channel ROMs (and more)

    Jump

  • I feel like they really glossed over the "how" part, other than saying it was delivered over "television cable".

    I have to assume they just broadcast the file on repeat in some sort of code and the Sega could then interpret that and save it as a game file.

    But then they mentioned they experimented with a Web browser?

  • Thousands Sign Petition Calling For Man Who Tackled Bondi Shooting Gunman To Be Australian Of The Year

  • Not really. Their messaging is always to prioritise personal safety.

    It's great that old mate managed to get the gun and I salute him for his bravery but if that shooter had been a bit more aware or if he'd slipped or lost his grip then he may well have died of lead poisoning.

    Vicpol or any organisation is never going to advocate for a member of the public to put themselves in danger. They won't tell him off but they certainly won't encourage it.

  • I wouldn't be surprised that a country in a literal fight to the death against what should be the third super power is a slightly better breeding ground for innovation and hard work than Raytheon/LockheedMartin deciding what incremental improvement they can drip feed the pentagon to min/max their effort to profit ratio.

  • Stone houses that are passively 8°C cooler than the outdoors in summer (26° when it's 34°)

    Jump

  • It should probably be mentioned that these houses have only one or two tiny windows, walls that are up to 2m thick, two layers seperate layers of sone wall and a White domed roof, to reflect the sun's heat.

    The fact that walls are made of stone is the least important factor in insulating these homes.

    I'd say the roof is the most important part. For some reason we are obsessed with dark roofs, at least in the west. The dome is also innovative as it greatly reduces how much of the roof is ever perpendicular to the sun and this reduces how much uv energy is absorbed.

  • This is a guide for getting the rstp back for some of the wyse cameras. I haven’t used it myself https://houndhillhomestead.com/using-wyze-cam-v3s-with-frigate/. Someone else recommended thingno which I have read works but also haven’t tried.

    One of the reasons wifi is discouraged is for anyone who lives in an apartments or even units, the wifi channels often very crowded. If you live in your own house it’s less of an issue but they still generate continual traffic. Having to punch through a few walls, as they will probably have to do if you are sitting them up outside, will have an effect too. As will the weather.

    There are many tricks to running cable between floors. If you have down lights you can pop them out then use a bit of yellow tongue to poke between the holes, running the cable from light to light. most modern houses use pozi trusses for floor support and they have many openings for running services.

    Or if you own the house just cut a few holes in the plaster. Patching and painting one ceiling not that big of a job and you’ll be able to use the same cameras for years and years instead of replacing when the battery dies.

  • If you get a PoE switch many cameras are designed to be run off of the power it can supply over an Ethernet cable. So you just have to run the Ethernet cable (pretty easy).

    Also you can get splitters that will break that PoE cable into one Ethernet and a 12v barrel jack for cameras that are not designed to use PoE directly.

    I can’t stress enough how much better a direct connection is than wifi, but understand that sometimes it is the only option.

    Other benefits include simply unplugging the camera from the switch if it freezes up as this effectively switches it off (this can be done remotely if you have a managed switch.) and obviously higher quality, more stable streams.

    Have a look through the frigate documentation before buying a device to run it. It needs some kind of gpu to process the frames for object identification. The most economical one in my opinion is a something intel 8th gen or higher like a hp elite desk mini pc that has a 2.5in sata slot with the igpu and ideally a proper spinning hdd for the recording as it is constantly being written to and an ssd will burn out faster.

  • If you want a local camera system you need a NVR (Networked Video Recorder). These have Ethernet ports and’s you connect security cameras to them over Ethernet, they record, store and allow you to view the footage.

    A DVR does the same thing but will use a video signal to record, maybe coax or component. These are getting a bit old and also have lower limits on how far the video signal can travel than an NVR but work and are cheaper, many offer network access to view the cameras and recordings.

    If you are looking at budget options you can use the software FrigateNVR. It is an open source NVR software designed to work with any camera that uses standard protocols (and many that don’t thanks to the active community). Including wireless cameras although everyone in the community recommends avoiding wireless cameras unless have no other options.

    You will be able to use your wyze cameras will frigate.

    Almost all IP Cameras, especially the cheap one are considered compromised and open to easy hacking. It is important to isolate them on their own VLAN, if you really care about privacy so they can only talk to your NVR.

    It is important to remember security cameras are cameras and need light to perform, especially in the dark. If you need a camera to perform in no light situations you either rely on its own lights which will illuminate maybe 5-10m, and external light source like a flood light or you have a larger camera sensor that can drink in the ambient light for decent quality (this last option will only come from a camera that costs 200-300USD.

    A cheap 4k (8mp) camera will perform worse in low light than a cheap 6mp as they often have the same size sensor.
