If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.3·1 day agoMaybe if you timed it juuuuuust right you could land somewhere on the planet as it orbits the sun and comes back to the same position once a decade or century or whatever? I mean I guess it depends on how you determine absolute location in the universe. Is that even possible with the universe constantly expanding?

realitista@lemmy.worldto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant as security camera PVR??English1·3 days agoYeah webrtc is one of the best in this regard. Unfortunately I can’t display 4 of them on my kiosk tablet.
realitista@lemmy.worldto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant as security camera PVR??English4·3 days agoI don’t think you can do much past just display the live (usually somewhat delayed) camera feeds. If you have some external object detection, you could probably feed the detection events to Frigate. That would make it as efficient as anything you could do natively in HA.

And yes, technology can be used to bad ends, but I’ve seen a lot of applications of ours and mostly it’s just mundane “getting the job done” stuff that helps everyday people keep functioning.
Yes, there are evil people in my organization, but I feel like I’ve stood up for my principles where it counted. Yes I’ve been demoted for that, and I was much happier afterwards. Someday it may cost me my job, but I will keep losing jobs until I find one where I can be myself.
All things in life are a balance of good and bad, you just have to evaluate whether you are more on the good side or bad side. There are a lot of jobs out there that are just helping people do the stuff they need to get done, generally good. Yes some evil capitalist takes most of the profit and hoards it for their evil purposes, but for me it’s enough to know that I provided things needed by others and helped them to make it through their lives in some small way.

I moved up one rung once, but after I refused to do some shitty things to people, I ended up moving back down ;-). No regrets.

You have to weight the benefits vs the harm. I don’t feel like I have to be personally evil in my job or that it’s a net negative on society. I think things are better in the world because of my work. Not all things, but better on balance.

I always used PNG where I would have used GIF. Other than that I use JPG still. I’m guessing webp is more on the JPG side of things than the GIF side?
Did it go away? I still use it as my go to format for small lossless images.
