Father’s Day and my baby momma is buying me a swanky round of golf! Sounds boring if you’re not a golfer, but I’m sure excited.
This is crazy. He was a big deal around here. I took a class with him and went to the capital factory many times. We weren’t friends or anything, but I definitely knew him.
God it’s so fucking humid here right now, I wish them all the luck. Pull the moisture from the air faster!!
It’s a cool idea! I wonder if it’d be possible to cash those karma points in for something tangible without the whole idea going to shit? Like a local shop agreeing to give a small discount to someone who earned a lot of karma on the site? Obviously not trying to reinvent capitalism or anything, but a karma barter system of some kind would be interesting if done right.
Hey that’s not dull!!
Frigate running on any box that can run docker and use a coral, hailo, or other chip for object detection. Read their recommendations for hardware. https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/hardware
I’ve been using this for a few years with amcrest cameras and ancient NAS hardware and it works beautifully
Adult visual novels, unfortunately. There’s so many of them and they’re so fun to read!!
As if anyone was gonna forget this douche
If I were rich I’d open up a bunch of repair cafes that lost money but helped people fix their stuff and keep it out landfills and taught people valuable soldering/electronics/programming/DIY skills while bringing the community together with volunteers and cheap coffee! Ah, that’s the dream..

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!!
