Idk if you have professional experience writing tickets, but this is very well written. Most people just write “the screen is blank” lol. It will take me a little time to dig into this, but that you for the instructions!

Blorp lets you edit markdown directly. Theres an icon button to switch to the raw markdown editor (look for the M⬇️ icon). I assume you’re not using Blorp, but for anyone else reading this.

Blorp dev here. I would love to fix this bug. If there’s any chance you could type out instructions to recreate the crash, I’ll get this fixed ASAP.

But they pass the $100 saving onto the consumer, right?

….right?

Holy shit

PM: Listen it’s almost December, the whole team decided to cash in PTO next week for thanksgiving, it’s 4pm on a Friday, and the quarter is about to end. We have to move onto next quarter’s OKRs. Is this good enough to ship?

A very tired dev: …lgtm

Nobody ever asks if the bug is ok

Oh good. For a second I was worried

It’s the building on the right? It looks bigger than the actual White House

LGTM!

Got it. So I should write my own SQL database?

If you have a NAS setup already, you might be DIY enough to setup something cheaper. Ubiquiti has been nice because it’s self hosted, but without having to do much work yourself. You buy the box that runs the software, the cameras, plug it in, and it just works. You pay a premium for that, but there are no monthly fees.

I have:

• Cloud Gateway Max. This is both the router and the NVR. I bought it for $200 with no bundled SSD. Instead I bought a separate nvme SSD and slotted it into the cloud gateway max.
• U7 Wall Pro. My apartment is small enough that I only need a single WiFi access point. This one supports WiFi 7.
• G4 Doorbell Pro (WiFi addition). Excellent quality, and records directly to the SSD I installed in the cloud gateway max

What I may have done differently.

• I would have considered the Cloud Gateway Fiber instead of the Cloud Gateway Max. The Max doesn’t have any POE outputs, so you need a POE injector to power the U7 Wall Pro. The Cloud Gateway Fiber however has a single POE port out. But I’m not sure that’s worth an extra $70 when you can get a POE injector for cheap.
• If you can run Ethernet to your door, the G4 Doorbell Pro wired will have a more stable connection. Though my WiFi version has been running very well.

If you want more than 2 cameras, or you have a house instead of an apartment, you might want to consider one of their dedicated NVRs, and either multiple U7 Wall Pros, or one of their bigger WiFi access points. You can spend a lot of money on ubiquity quickly, but I don’t think you should write off their entry level equipment because of that. I’m very happy with the ~$700 I spend on my small setup, and that setup will have plenty of headroom for years. And if you buy used or older models I bet you can get a router, access point, and doorbell for under $400. Or incrementally upgrade what you have.

Ubiquiti. Their cameras record to a local NVR. If you only need one or two cameras, they have excellent router + NVR combos for a good price that will run circles around your default ISP WiFi router. If you’re interested, I can tell you what my setup looks like, how much it cost, and what I would have done differently.

I know Apple isn’t popular with Lemmy users, but Apple Music feels like more of a safe home for that reason. Apple’s business model is very established, unlike Tidal which could change rapidly with an IPO. At the end of the day, nothing is safe that isn’t self hosted, but there are only so many hours in the day to self host services.

I know Apple Music isn’t much better, but I think I can convince some of my Spotify friends to make the switch with this article. I could also be convinced to switch to Tidal. I think they pay more royalties per stream than Apple Music, and Apple Music pays more than Spotify (correct me if I’m wrong).

Again, I know Apple Music probably also has issues, but Apple doesn’t seem to be in the business of selling your data… yet. They also have less bloat (e.g. no AI DJ) compared to Spotify. However, I’m not happy about Tim Cook sucking up to Trump.

Jellyfin, and similar makes a lot of sense for movies, but imo, music is released too frequently to maintain an up to date library. I do buy physical copies of my favorite albums, but streaming is really nice for music discovery.

Arguably the first branch is backwards. I don’t use windows because I fear technology and strongly distrust Microsoft.

Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code.
