Offloading was disabled everywhere since I won’t be using it in the long run.

Do you need clusters that can failure ver from one machine to another? Is yes, proxmox is good. If no, there are less complex options.

as for home assistant, I’m not sure it makes sense in a store.

blue iris is so clunky and inelegant and I keep seeing it reach out to weird things on the internet that I’ve never been happy about. There’s also some weird update server in china that keeps trying to push something to it I’ve been blocking for years and it just keeps trying it. I get that its kind of the gold standard here but it has enough negatives and nothing it offers over anyone else is relevant here so I can move to something else.

We actually were going to use ubuntu years ago when this first started as was supposed to be running shinobi but there was something about the cameras that was incompatible, I cant remember what though. Anyways, Ubuntu server is an option, but I’d like to avoid canonical too.

Was pinchflat flawed in some way? I’m all for having more options but if this uses yt-dlp anyway I’m not sure this is contributing to anything.

Wait is this like what onbase does?

So you request something torrent something for you?

Remind me what this does?

Can you hear the fan? If no, it’s probably fine.

Occurs is proxmox for ARM? Thats a thing?! I cannot wait to play with this!

Sure. I don’t use mine much, but I leave the note out to help the swarm so others may benefit. Even un throttled, it uses barely any bandwidth and it seems like a good fallback plan for if things get even worse.

It works and it’s easy to set up. It’s going to get faster and more important soon given streaming is dying and the Nazis are censoring everything they can.

I want to have as few visible seams as possible but I can make them where I need. My primary concern here is thermals.

They used to encode with h264. I set up a rig 2 years ago with the goal for using that card just couldn’t source cameras at a decent price that use the olde codec. It’s actually pretty difficult to find that anymore. Also, they need to decode streams for processing for things like object detection. That doesn’t work without decoding being done on each stream first.

I am open to being wrong on this I just want to be certain before I get to the spending money stage. Can you show me where you got that information?

Incorrect. The built in quicksync is adequate for a limited number of simultaneous streams. Considering I plan for frigate to handle multiple cameras on this machine I will need more streams.

I want zenarmor and suricata. Intel N series chips cannot handle that. The dGPU is just needed for handling media decode and encode, not actual rendering.

Well I would be playing over the wired network with an appleTV4k in the living room. I don’t game much at all but there are a few upcoming games I want to enjoy. Is there a list somewhere of which games dislike VMs?

My concern with CPU transcoding is it just won’t be able to keep up with all the concurrent streams whereas a GPU will do so effortlessly. Intel GPUs have the best encoders second only to Apple. AMD…has the worst.

Just a little apology to anyone who read, I definitely rambled on here. I’m overrun with ideas and just don’t know how to trim this all down
