I’m surprised I had to go this far to find immich. I 100% recommend it, and yes it’s selfhosting if you run it yourself. Still selfhosted even if you use a VPS as long as you control and administer it.

For hardware, I actually recommend against raspberry pis these days. You can get a cheap mini PC that’s much more performant and better supported for the same price as a pi plus the accessories (SD card, case, power supply, etc). Use Debian or Ubuntu as host and follow the guide on the github for installation.

The ever constant reminder of, it’s a big club and you ain’t in it

I didn’t think the leopard was going to eat my face!

Look at how happy he is too. Pure evil!

The solution is simple, we eat the rich

It contains one of the missing palantir. Allows them to see anywhere they want.

He has lied about so much and been proven wrong, so sadly I doubt anyone will take that away from this

I can excuse racism and pedophilia, but my financial wellbeing is where I draw the line!

Banzai!

That’s a lot of damage!

I am 100% with you on the cynicism, but that also let’s them do what they want. As hard as it is, we have to keep vigilantly fighting for our rights.

My son went as the loch ness monster this year. Cost about $3.50

I’ve tried three or four times, and always ended up dropping it. Never could get it to work with my exact config. I have a relatively complex network setup with vlans, firewall rules, and devices, so I imagine I’m more of an edge case though.

You could string up an automation for this. Reolink integration requires internet connectivity but exposes the doorbell to home assistant for follow on notifications if you like.

I used to have the amcrest doorbell but switched to reolink after two amcrest died back to back after only a year each. You need to do the initial setup using the reolink app like opening rtsp/onvif ports, but then you can feed it to frigate and disable internet access. I have this exact setup and it works well. They only thing I haven’t got working yet is two way audio. If you don’t mind reolink online, then you can use their app and integration for two way audio.

I mean if it doesn’t require cloud connectivity, then it just becomes the communication protocol right? I’d be fine with Google offering local only access as an alternative, but of course they only offer the newer model.

What scarf?

I try to selfhost wherever possible. There are a few exceptions where it’s not practical (email for example), so I prefer not Google/Apple/Microsoft when that happens. In those cases, I also like to diversify so any potential enshitification is less painful to resolve.

Now they have a taste for bats. Now they only eat bats.

+1 for this. Very solid using the homekit method. If you use the default integration, I believe it’s cloud connected.
