    Brand recognition is important. I have heard for many ads they don’t care if you pay attention so long as you hear/see it briefly, because you will be more likely to pick their product later when it’s the name you recognise even (especially) if you don’t remember why you know it.






  • Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.

    I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.

    I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.




  • Thanks, I went with the trying random stuff option. Not really in the mood to reinstall my distro and restore a backup 😆

    With comments from some of the others I ran with the idea that it might not be my distro, and came across recent complains about crashes in GNOME. I then installed Plasma as an alternative, and when I log in to the Plasma DE and run the game from there, it doesn’t crash, at least not in the same reliable way that it does in GNOME. Super annoying as I love GNOME haha, but I guess I’m gonna be running KDE for a while, at least until I’m done with this game.

    It’s also possible that GNOME on Nobara doesn’t get the love it used to. It was the default DE for quite some time, but a year or so back they switched to make KDE the default, with GNOME still offered as an optional version.

    Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).

    I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.




  • I found there were other versions installed via repositories (as opposed to the make file installed version). Tidied all that up, removed everything, restarted, and installed the one from github as per the instructions. Same thing.

    I did work out something new, though. It’s specifically when I enable the eagle vision in Assassin’s Creed (Rogue) that it freezes. And it still happened without the controller connected.

    My suspicion is that the controller driver thing solved one problem, but there are still more issues that aren’t controller related…

    Other potential hints, when playing Hades (the rougelike) the lighting is now messed up, going dark at certain times based on where I’m standing. It was working fine before. This is only in the DirectX version, the Vulkan one works fine.

    I have also tried regenerating pre-compiled shaders in steam and have tried using Proton Experimental.

    Any other ideas?
