No Earthfiles Podcast today?

Looks like a new broadcast on YouToot. Probably computer trouble or something. If you don’t do anything on the computer, you have no trouble. You’ll have lots of trouble if you try making a static ffmpeg build, and all the dependencies. What happens if I use the system ones? Cause this is a real pain […]

Orb 6/23/23

Looks like a small orb to me. Apparently VideoToolBox can’t encode video at the resolution of my security camera, it can do 1080p. I just used the software encoder. Didn’t take long on Mac mini, but should have done on desktop, since it was using software anyways.

Switching to the poodcast Earthfiles

I kept forgetting to check YouTube last week. No notifications on YouToot, don’t want any anyways. I don’t really use YouToot for anything else. I installed gPodder on my desktop, and setup a cronjob to download, assuming it works, the new Earthfiles is finally available according to their podcast subdomain. I changed my cronjob to […]

Camera glitch?

No idea, but I don’t think the light from outside should be able to hit that spot. The light has different colors in it too. Unless the outside light, reflected off something. I think that’s the notification I got. But it was too late to see it on the live camera. It isn’t visible for […]

Well, I can’t see a fly on camera without IR on

There was just one in front of my computer. And I look like I’m in fast motion. Either I need to change the Frame Interval or watch some other way. What is the default? 60? No idea. Don’t follow Scrypted’s advice. I already don’t follow their codec advice. Maybe it isn’t the Frame Interval, no […]

Tonka was on the bed last night

If what I vaguely remember happened. Right before I fell a sleep, I heard Tonka get on the bed, and I said “goodnight Tonka” and then “I love you Tonka”. Fell a sleep after that. It wasn’t as automatic as some of the things I’ve said in bed. Still automatic, just not as automatic. How […]

Monitor woke up at least two times while in bed

No idea why. The first time, was shortly after I went to bed. Or maybe right after I went to bed. I may not have been sleeping yet. I did post something about I should ask my dad to wake something up. Perhaps that’s close enough to asking, to get somebody to do something. In […]

Can you see a fly on a security camera with IR or night mode off?

If not, I don’t know what they are. That isn’t dust, I know that. Pretty sure, dust only shows up on IR. That reminds me, I need to increase the brightness on that camera. The title should be “Are flies visible on security camera with IR or night mode off?”. Or maybe “flying bugs” instead […]

Of course the news isn’t covering it

You really think Fake(Fox) News is going to cover that? They are all about money and power. Well, I don’t watch Fake News. But the other news ain’t covering it either. I don’t watch much news anymore. Only when at my mom’s house sometimes. They mostly talk about republicans. Like taking rights away, being pro […]
