From my small experience with Qualcomm in the past, I'm not too hopeful. In a company I used to work for, we wanted to use one of their SoC with Linux, which they claimed they supported. It was many years ago. But was full of closed binary blobs which even when signing NDAs, we couldn't get the source for. We're talking user-space drivers, sensors offloaded to a separate core with closed source firmware etc. It's Linux, but it's not Linux in spirit, it feels so closed and proprietary and secretive. They're coming from Android, which google architecturally enabled vendors to close their drivers by utilizing HAL. It's the single most significant blow to Linux by any corporation so far. It enabled thousands of vendors to close their shitty driver in user-space and not maintain it for newer kernels (kernel driver is just an IO proxy for user-space drivers). I get that without it, there wouldn't be Android phones we have today, but I expected them to slowly open up. 10+ years later, almost nothing changed, in fact - things seem worse to me.

Hi, anyone have any good self hosted solution for a doorbell camera? What I need is to have the option to look at who is at the door and be able to actuate a lock (relay operated). I have a cheap Chinese brand solution, but it uses an unknown cloud solution and is very unreliable. A phone app would be fine, but if there's a standalone tablet, that's even better.

Hi! I hope you don't mind giving some advice on buying a desktop amp. I'm talking basically about those amp sims with full range mini-speakers. I've been playing for years, but I've been using amp sims. I've previously owned tube amps, but found them inconvenient for practicing and always ended up playing unplugged. I also tried vox amPlug, which was better, but I also dislike having headphones on while playing. So I primarily want a desktop amp that would inspire me to play more.

I've looked at various ones online (I don't really have an opportunity to try them live), which makes a decision very hard.

My list so far:

  • Yamaha THR30
  • Positive Grid Spark 40
  • Hotone Pulze
  • Nux mighty space

I also don't have great PC speakers, so maybe I could also use it as general speaker there. Do you have experience on any of those? Some others? Any advice?

Thanks!

Edit:

Ordered a Nux Mighty Space, it could take a week or two before it arrives. I'll post an update once I get it. Thanks everyone!

Because you can't end to end encrypt if you don't have control over both ends. You'd need to trust the other end. Signal doesn't and their user base especially doesn't.

Shape binder is what you need. Shape binder can be used to reference geometry from another body. What I would do is I'd make one pocket on the main body. Then select another body and make it an active body. Then select the pocket you made (the surface or the edge) and create a shape binder (part design). This will effectively import the selected feature from the first body and you can reference it from second body. Make sure you hide the first body, as it somehow gets in the way of shape binder, for some reason. Repeat for third body.

Well, it's not 2024 just yet. And besides that, I don't think it's possible to completely control everything that gets imported, but I reckon it's going to be a rather rare occurrence in the future.

It's often about the money, yes. But highly sought after engineers who can choose where they want to work probably have other criteria too, like not getting stuck in MS corporate ladder long term. That being said, money compensates for a lot of things, that's just the world we live in.

Ja mislim da je ovo bio neki zajeb, neka operacija koja je pošla naopako. Vlast je možda, a možda i nije bila umešana u to. I zatečeni su nespremni za ovako nešto i u panici se očigledno ne snalaze. Neće da ispadne da ne podržavaju narod, idu izbori. Neće da ispadne ni da ih podržavaju, jer se plaše šta će s pregovorima. Ne žele eskalaciju, a ne umeju ni da smire situaciju. I ispadaju jednostavno - nesposobni, što i jesu oduvek.

Hard to tell From the photo, but might be Ash. If so, it would make a great axe handle. But you can of course make an axe handle out of any hardwood, it will mostly be fine.

Camera suggestions (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago by fluxx@lemmy.world to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

Any recommendations for good open protocol cameras? I heard about Reolink cameras, are they ok? I need them to be Ethernet and be able to stream with RTP/RTSP and expose some sort of API for control/monitoring. And not depend on cloud, if possible. Thanks.

I've been following him for years and this video had me very disappointed in him. Very arrogant and condescending of him. I know he did similar videos on solar roadways, but 1. he is knowledgeable on that subject, and 2. the people behind that were clearly scammers wanting funding. Here, this is just an unpunished paper with nothing to gain if it turns out it doesn't work, yet he still treated them as garbage. God, I wish this turns out genuine if only to make HIM look like a dumbass (not to mention this would be huge).

Well, I think it's a valid comment. I'm a big fan of her work and I watched a few streams, but the voice seems like it's heavily processed, and to me it's barely intelligible, which makes me concentrate really hard to try and understand what she's saying. I ended up not listening to her streams. I now prefer to read blogs and other people's articles about her and Asahi linux in general.

Yes, I imagine real 3nm is nearly impossible, but we're inching towards it. Still, that's very nearly the limit for conventional digital ICs.

[-] fluxx@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Wow, 3nm, we're nearing Moore's law ceiling, what a time to be alive. 55% is impressive to me at least.

Svaka čast na pisanju ovog teksta! Nadam se da će broj ljudi da se poveća. Ne verujem da će biti brzo biti blizu bredita, ali hej - bitniji je kvalitet nego kvantitet. Aj živeli!
