OK, I'll bite. I read the WestJet article. The person won their case because the judge decided WestJet didn't believe they were serious in their religious basis for their exemption request and therefore didn't consider options to give the person work in another role that wouldn't be impacted by their lack of vaccination.

This in no way supports your position that the mandates were somehow illegitimate.

It's not about the taffis for me, it's about supporting a fascist oligarchy. When that changes (both the fascist, and the oligarchy), I'll start buying from them again. I'm not young and I don't expect it to happen in my lifetime.

When this happened to my 4a I considered a used 6a as an upgrade - glad I didn't!

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Mastodon can be accessed by anyone with a browser. If the whole government made their Mastodon instance their official release channel then it would achieve your objective.

From my reading I believe the detection models (or whatever they're called) won't even install unless they find appropriate hardware?

I've also discovered that the "AI" detection for person, vehicle and animal built into my camera works amazingly well and I'm now using that. I've been told I can use Frigate as a "dumb" PVR to receive, store and display the events detected by my camera, so I'm reading up on that option now. Seems overkill, but might be worth it.

yep - I was still happy with my 4a until they killed its battery. I bought a used 8 Pro. That was about 3 months ago, and it still feels too big.

I wasn't aware when I first posted this, but am now. I'm struggling to get it working though. My automation to record video for person, vehicle etc. events was working but as I read more I learned that, as you say, it should all happen in camera. So, I've turned off the automation and nothing is appearing in the Reolink media folder. I've been through and double checked that everything is turned on - that I can find. I'm wondering if I need to turn on FTP upload, or if the Reolink HA integration pretends to be a Reolink PVR? My camera is a RLC-520A, with no SD card, which, if I understand what I've read correctly, should have this capability.

Edit: I've been reading and playing more. It seems the Reolink media folder is just populated with links to the recordings on the camera SD card - which I don't have. So, I've configured FTP upload to a folder accessible to my Jellyfin - I can now view the videos from my phone, PC and TV. That works for now - I'll keep playing.

I said my hardware was old and I meant it :-)

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz

I just don't see any reason to upgrade - I feel it's doing a lot for me and spends almost all the time at least 90% idle. It was nearer to 98% until I enabled Reolink on my Home Assistant VM - I'm running the highest quality stream from the camera, just to see how it performs.

I've been using various versions of keepass for ever. Until recently I had the database on Google drive. It's now local and sync'd with syncthing. It's a bit "different", but once you get used to it, it works very well.

Does it work if you unplug and replug?

In general, yes.

If you hit a button other than power does it wake up, or does it say "no signal" or something?

Yes.

Does the laptop see it?

I'm assuming not as it does not display on it. Next time it happens I'll see what xrandr says.

Anything in any log?

Nothing in Xorg.0.log and nothing that seems related in the journal. I'll keep journalctl --follow running and see if anything that I didn't pick as being related comes up next time it happens.

Can you force a redetection from the laptop?

Probably, but I don't know how.

1. If you use the same USB port for this all the time, disable power saving on that port

I use the same port all the time. I want power saving on the port. I like to just get up from my PC and have it go to sleep by itself and wake back up when I come and jiggle the mouse. It's working exactly as I would like maybe 90% of the time. Just sometimes the external monitor doesn't wake up.

2. Make sure this isn't a PD port (this is a laptop design annoyance)

It is a PD port, and it is powering the laptop. I'm not sure why this would be a problem? It's worked fine for 5-6 years with Windows and works 90% of the time now with Linux.

3. Make sure your monitor's own power saving settings aren't the issue by disabling things like "deep sleep" or similar

Again, I'm not sure how this could be a problem for the scenario I describe. The settings work fine 90% of the time. It's not even time related: sometimes I can come to it first thing in the morning, after it's been asleep all night, and it wakes perfectly; sometimes I can get up to go get a glass of water and come back and the external monitor won't wake up. It seems totally random.

100% agree, which is a shame because having real numbers for the proportion of the population that don't fit into what the bigots think is normal might help to convince some of them that they're not so normal. (I'm not saying this very well, but I think you get what I mean.)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-)

OK, I was on my phone. Just checked on my desktop and agree the original could do with some margins. I stand behind the rest of what I said - the default colours for the "best" are awful - the black black and red red is really garish. If I didn't notice the dark/light mode switch and contrast adjustment does it really matter if they were there or not? There is also way to much information on the "best" one - if I'm going to a web site cold, with no expectation at all of what you might find, I'm not going to sit there and read that much text - I need a gentle introduction, that may lead somewhere.

I prefer the original. The "better" one had a bit of a lag (only a fraction of a second, but in this context that's important) loading and the "best" one has the same lag and unreadable colours.

Did you read my post, or just the subject? I'm not asking for help, just sharing an observation - just in case I got a bunch of "me too"s.

I resolved my issue by unplugging and replugging my Zooz USB stick.

It seemed to be a hardware issue - the blue light on the controller was out until I removed and replaced it. It's too much of a coincidence for me though that I just happened to have this hardware issue at the time when the software that uses that hardware was being updated.

I use Vendor/Product ID to access it:

I feel that this battle is lost. Many of the cars that blind me are newer models with (presumably) the headlights they came from the factory with. Yes, the lifted redneck trucks with ill adjusted LED "bulbs" in reflectors that were made for halogens, are worse - but not a lot.

As long as design regulations allow it, they will build it. So, anyone wanting to do anything about this should focus their energy on lobbying their relevant government agency.

Maybe someone might invent night driving glasses that can filter the particularly annoying wavelengths.

I'm not a server admin., just a user. The Lemmy instance I'm on setup a Piefed instance in parallel and is giving users the option to use either, or both. I'm still trying to get my head around the history and the pros/cons of each but for now it seems like I'm switching to Piefed. I imagine that if most users move then the Lemmy instance might get shutdown in the future.

and added the government had “rigorously applied international law” in relation to the war in Gaza.

I'm no lawyer, but if the law allows for the continued sale of weapons to a government when there is an active arrest warrant for the leader of said government, for misuse of those weapons - then the law is broken.

And it's not just any arrest warrant - the warrant is issued by the ICC, and the UK is a state party to the Rome Accord, which is the treaty that gives the ICC authority.

I didn't know all that, I went and looked it up for this comment. The Wikipedia page was interesting reading.
