I do think that part of the problem is that so much up-to-date information is now trapped in discord, also that people are generally using forums and the like less to solve their technical problems because they're privately querying robots. This on top of enshittification... We did not know how good we had it 20 years ago

    Thingino firmware on a cheap camera alleviated any concerns I had about the camera bypassing my DNS and phoning home. There are a list of compatible cameras on the Thingino website, and I got some help with installing the firmware on the Thingino discord. Integrates well with Frigate, and others such as TinyNVR.

    Server (navidrome) + client (feishin, symphonium) + music (soulseek, bandcamp, ripping your old cds) + remote access (tailscale or something else if you're savvy).

    You sound like you're dealing with my old friend burnout. Take a vacation and see how you feel after it. You have lots of options if you're truly (and understandably) done with nursing. Nurses can do anything IMO.

    Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don't know what they don't know.

    MX is great. The MX tools are very useful and Sysvinit isn't as difficult to use as I had assumed. It runs great on an old thinkpad of mine. Seems like a very viable option for people looking to self-host on older gear.

    I put LMDE on my partner's old surfacebook and installed the surface kernel. It runs smoother than windows ever did, battery life improved too, full touchscreen. Though I did install fedora prior to LMDE and the touchscreen functionality may have been better with that, but the system was slower overall.
