My wife is through with Apple and has been on the lookout for a cheaper Android. She’s eyeballing the Nothing 3a and cheaper Motorola devices.

Edit:

I’m too stupid for this. I don’t understand what anyone is saying, nothing is working. I don’t know what to do. I need to stay away for a few because if I don’t I’m going to kill myself. I’m very sorry and I appreciate everyone’s help, I wish I that I was smarter and I wish that I was stronger.

Drop the self-destructive overreacting bullshit and actually try to research the advice you’ve already been given. Degrading yourself this way helps absolutely nobody, so knock it the fuck off and start listening.

nothing is working

This phrase is pointless. Be more specific; this is part of the troubleshooting process. What exactly isn’t working? What have you tried? Are you just mashing the keyboard and expecting ✨something✨ to happen?

If you are going to change your entire operating system, you need to be prepared to troubleshoot things that you aren’t familiar with, and that requires patience. Slow the fuck down and start googling things you’re not familiar with. Actually participate in the process by asking follow-up questions, instead of repeatedly bashing yourself over the head just because you accidentally mistyped a command. Rome wasn’t conquered in a day, and you’re not going to fix this in 5 minutes by bashing your head into the keyboard over and over again.

I wish I that I was smarter and I wish that I was stronger.

“Getting smarter” means breaking your current understanding of certain things in order to relearn new things about whatever it is you’re trying to do. Your current understanding of how a computer works is broken, and now you’re being given a huge opportunity to relearn. Knowledge doesn’t just pop into your head. Knowledge is gained by putting in effort despite the frustrations you run into.

I’d go with the most recent KLR, like the other dude said. Still carbed.

The XR line has been fully road-legal for quite a few years now, since 2007 I think. Kinda jealous, honestly… I’m in the middle of rebuilding a 1980 XR500 (still has the 23" wheel, too) that was never titled, let alone even equipped with a brake light 😅

And then there’s my $20 Wyze Vacuum, rooted and running Valetudo, that can map my entire floor with a lidar sensor entirely on-device.

Turn the lights on and off in the basement. The kids kept playing with the lights and arguing over it, so I automated the whole floor and blocked the switches off.

Arguments immediately stopped.

Mobian runs on the OnePlus 6?? Hell yeah, time to dig that bad boy out again.

This again? Jesus christ. The man supported a person who was actually good at her job and also just got fired as a result of that.

Time to chill tf out.

Especially when KeePass and its many forks already exist.

I use KeePass, and Syncthing handles multi-device synchronization. The database is also regularly backed up locally and to a few cloud services.

“We have already implemented multiple near‑term hardening measures while also establishing plans to remediate or reinforce the relevant components of our service on a timeline commensurate with the assessed risk.”

Translation: “the board already knew last quarter but they wanted their bonuses first”

Every single time GOS comes up. Every. Single. Fucking. time.

Do you people forget that buying used is an option?

hShop? That’s still very much a thing. I put it on my kids’ 3DSXL consoles.

Whatever happened to vBulletin? That was peak forum software. Simple to use, no frills, and no bloated tracking shit.

All the car community forums are operated by Fora at this point, and they’re trying to push some bullshit AI assistant called “ForaFrank”. I blocked it on every car forum I’m a part of, and have encouraged others to do the same.

I just remembered that I have a Wyze Doorbell v1 flashed with Thingino sitting on my desk. It was going to be my next test before my wife vetoed Frigate (she gets final say if it replaces something she uses).

Pretty sure Thingino supports ONVIF. My FIL has a UDR with Unifi Protect, I can try it with that.

Soooooo catfishing?

If Reolink doesn’t paywall basic feature, I might consider that. Mainly concerned about a functional “it works without fucking around” 2-way audio and doorbell.

have you considered the G4 wifi doorbell?

Yes I have. Cheapest one on eBay right now is over $350. MSRP when new is $200, and Unifi has apparently discontinued them.

I’m not going to be storing 24/7 footage outside of important motion detection instances, which we can just download to our phones or whatever if it’s important enough to hold onto. Everything else can be recorded over.

When I was testing Frigate, I ran a single camera storing 24/7 footage specifically to see how long it would go for. I think it used 100GB after a week or so. Multiply that by 6, that’s, well, 600GB. But I’m also not super concerned with having crystal clear footage at all times (Ring set my expectations really low), and even 1366x768 @ 20-30 FPS is more than plenty for what we need.

For the doorbell, I’d use a proper doorbell cam that can use the existing wires for power.

That’s how my current Ring doorbell is connected.

Reolink’s wifi one comes with an adapter to use it with existing wiring.

I keep seeing Reolink pop up. Would a Reolink doorbell work with a Unifi NVR? I’d rather have a G4 wireless, but that’s very likely to not happen.

Only thing id note though is you probably want some kind of SSD for the camera storage.

Good idea.
