Hmm I have solar panels and battery backup on my house. A few months ago, one of the inverters failed and was replaced under warranty. I still have the defective one. I’d love to take it apart and try to find out if it’s compromised, but I’m not sure I’d know what to look for. Anyone here have specific knowledge in this area? Hit me up!

Hell yeah ‘83 vintage. Best year.
Also probably got a million hidden recording devices. Lol, that idiot is gonna get hisself blackmailed by everyone. Russia and UAE can take turns pulling the strings!
What do you think about Iceland? Do Greenlanders think about Iceland the way Australians think about New Zealanders?

Everyone thought he was dishing out sage martial arts wisdom that they didn’t quite understand, but Bruce Lee was constantly trying to discuss the looming threat of microplastics. Truly ahead of his time.
Aw man, the $1300 4-wheeler/truck linked to in that article is something I’d definitely buy if buying Chinese EV stuff wasn’t an economic/political disaster right now. https://electrek.co/2023/03/11/weird-alibaba-funky-chinese-electric-atv-is-half-pickup-truck/
How do you know it was the inclusion of Rupert Murdoch Fox News? Seems it could’ve been anything in that last sentence. Musk, Murdoch, or Reddit in a negative light could all be triggers. They’re probably feeding all new comments into an AI that auto blocks anything they don’t like.

Want to go halfsies with me on a steel workshop building? I’ve been quoted about 80k total with the concrete foundation. I’ve got the land and 40k saved. Gonna do woodworking and EV conversions and eventually open a school for “technical enrichment” combining tech/hacking/vertical farming and EV/solar stuff. I live in an area that’s kinda podunk and most of the local kids just go work at Dairy Queen or something.
A lot of people probably gonna ask you for money, so no worries either way. Congrats, if you’re not fulla crap 😁

Building DIY a smart doorbell but would appreciate some help with the power and wiring
(lemmy.world)
Hello, and thank you in advance.
I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.
The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.
In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?
I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?
Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
