It was the bundle of sticks word, but in Italian. In case anyone else was curious.

Similar structure, yes, but this is the important part:

Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established

So, just like the Louvre museum in Paris and the Luxor casino in Las Vegas have similar structures, pointing this out doesn’t really contribute much to the discussion.

For all I know, OpenAI’s purpose is to create Skynet and kill all humans. But Proton’s is:

Our legally binding purpose is to further the advancement of privacy, freedom, and democracy around the world.

I use Amcrest, mostly because the guy who makes frigate recommended them, and has affiliate links on his site. As a software developer myself, I have to say frigate (and HA) are two jewels of open source software and so I’m happy to support them however I can.

That being said, the cameras work well and are easy to integrate with both frigate and HA. They all try to phone home at first, but stop if you tell them to (I’ve confirmed this by monitoring the traffic on my dns servers).

I couldn’t find a privacy friendly wifi camera with a big enough battery to run continuously, so I ended up building my own with a solar panel, an inverter, and a 9ah lithium battery that sits on a fence post at the end of my driveway. It was a fun project, but I wish I could buy it.

Another small gripe is that the PTZ cameras from Amcrest all seem to be crazy expensive or have mixed reviews, so I’ve just held off on those for now.

While this is accurate, it’s worth noting that there used to be hundreds of types of elephants, but they all went extinct except for the African and Asian elephants that are alive today. One reason for this is elephants can’t jump. Like, at all.

Why is BREKING misspelled in the news ticker in the last panel?

Hilarious comic tho…

I’m sorry I can’t contribute much, but as a fairly recent father to an amazing 3yo daughter, I’ll be following along!

Awesome. You and @ch00f@lemmy.world are true OGs. Thanks (again)!

Awesome, thank you both. This is more complicated than I thought, so on the plus side I don’t feel as dumb as before.

Maybe i’ll just ditch the dinky chime I have and setup some alert automations or something. In that case, I could just connect the two chime wires to create a closed loop, then replace the transformer with a 120vac outlet plug, plug in a generic 120va -> 5vdc power supply, chop the two output wires from the power supply and connect them to the existing doorbell wires. And violá, 5vdc delivered right to the front door? Is this plan insane?

Oh, dang, maybe I can just buy their “relay module” thing and it will solve all my problems.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I didn’t see it because I was drawing up this awful diagram that I responded with to @ch00f with. Is that more or less what you’re describing, with the 18VAC -> 5VDC power supply being in that top ? box?

I couldn’t remember if it was AC or DC, but you’re almost certainly right that it’s stepped-down AC. I just went and checked and there’s no light on the button, so unfortunately no bonus parallel always-on power source to tap into. This is my dumb guess about how this all could work, but there are some question marks. Does this seem kinda correct though?

No, my sons are also named Borts.

A better example would have been patreon. I’ve never given money to an online content producer of any kind (except my monthly donation to Wikipedia), but if there’s one thing the internet is good at, it’s crowdfunding. Gofundme, patreon, onlyfans, twitch, kickstarter… it’s all the same.

Ridiculously unfunny and eventually a commercial
