Well these days we have flatpak to solve the “not in the repo” (or ‘old version in the repo’) problem.

It’s a fair point but I would rather diversify and also use something that is open / less opaque

A few years ago when my org got the ask to deploy the CS agent in linux production servers and I also saw it getting deployed in thousands of windows and mac desktops all across, the first thought that came to mind was “massive single point of failure and security threat”, as we were putting all the trust in a single relatively small company that will (has?) become the favorite target of all the bad actors across the planet. How long before it gets into trouble, either because if it’s own doing or due to others?

I guess that we now know

I.V. Drip blend from darkcity cofee in Toronto. Roasted a few days ago. Looking forward to my morning cortado!

I just checked that link and YES, actually it is, thanks for pointing it out. The docs must have been updated for v0.13, they added the ffmpeg prefix to the go2rtc stance, this wasn’t there before. I found this originally in a github bug discussion with the frigate dev, where he suggested the person having issues to try this out and see what happens. There was no follow up after that suggestion though.

Note - another helpful tip for 510WA cams: in this github listing: Reolink Firmware Archive, you can find a link to version 3.1.0.1387 which I have been running for a week, this version is much newer than the latest official release (.764), it adds two useful new options in t he Stream configuration section (which is only accessible via the Web interface of the cam),

• interframe space: set it to 1X
• frame rate mode: set it to fixed

what is the point of doing that? I just checked and I have hundreds of entities, it would take a huge amount of time to see which ones to keep visible / which ones are used in automations or visualization etc. What is the harm of just leaving them exposed?

Baratza Vario W - daily use for the last 8 years or so and going strong. Zero ground coffee mess, decently accurate and consistent (grinds by weight), looks nice. Mine only needed one burr adjustment in the 5 year mark (it comes with tool and the instructions).

Thanks all for the tips on this. I will explore the IFTTT + todoist route that seems to be the only current option to get the Alexa/echo shopping list integrated with HA’s
