Ditto. A smart home that can operate even if the Internet is offline was one of my core goals setting this up. And save for a few exceptions, I accomplished it. It's so jarring now to go on vacation and not have all this automation.

I went with the open source one. Slightly more expensive, but had I wanted to I could have bought all the parts and assembled it myself, compiled the firmware, etc.

Honestly one could probably make a comparison to a loan shark, you keep paying it off but the interest is so high and you keep borrowing more you just stay in debt and keep sinking deeper.

I'm not sure what you mean by "open source compatible". Do you mean the camera itself can have open source firmware installed, or that it's compatible with open source NVR software such as Shinobi or ZoneMinder?

If the former, I know some of the Wyze cameras have that option. Like OpenMiko. There's all OpenIPC, which does have a list of supported devices.

If the latter, any camera with RTSP and some sort of API to expose PTZ controls would do. My personal recommendation would be Axis, which makes solid cameras.

Not an avid chess player, but as someone with aphantasia pretty much spot on for my experience.

Still works for me as of last year. Now I use rooted android with ttlfix.

True, medication impacts everyone in its own unique way anyway. For me personally I never noticed a difference, though I'm not on it anymore - I got switched to a non-stimulant due to blood pressure. The only medication that has impacted my libido negatively has been anti depressants, the right brain zappy ones like Effexor.

From a career perspective using it enough to know whether you'd like to or be willing to work with it in the future is probably enough. Then when you're looking you know whether you want to apply for jobs focused on it.

On that topic I've been on the market and haven't seen Svelte mentioned a single time when searching, granted I've probably only looked at a couple hundred listings (most being WFH).

I feel like this is the type of thing where as a passenger you'd be having the time of your life but the pilot? Shaved 10 years off lol.

Highly available. For example, being able to run multiple instances of it and if one server goes down the other picks up slack.

Schrodinger's backups.

And yes I know we can see the source and that it doesn't presently send keys anywhere but the OpenAI API.

Also why save the key to local storage? The code encrypts the key and saves it, alongside the encryption key, to local storage. Why even encrypt it if you're placing the encryption key protecting it right next to it? It's the virtual equivalent of storing the key to a safe by taping it to the safe.
