So if i want to set up my Eufy camera for use with this, it would need to be able to upload to a remote network drive or FTP folder? I’m pretty sure mine does on-device motion detection, which then records the footage to an sdcard in the device. I’m not sure I can get it to write to FTP though. Will have a play around.

Either way this is a good solution. I used to use frigate and I actually bought a Coral TPU unit to offload the motion detection. This massively reduced CPU usage, but it is still adds a noticeable (~3-8w) increase to total power consumption. It would be nice to use the on-board capabilities of the hardware itself.

The main problem with Paperless is me. I just can’t be arsed to scan stuff, even though it’s almost entirely automated. The only thing that isn’t automated is me putting the paper into the scanner. Why am i like this?

This is a good summary. At this point I am too deeply invested in to NextCloud to switch to a different thing, as I’ve switched my whole family off OneDrive now and I just cba to go through that again. I can handle it being dogshit and I’ve got used to it’s bugs - a form of stockholm syndrome. I suspect a lot of people are similar to me - we use NextCloud because it’s the biggest name and has been around forever, not because it’s what we want.

Anyway, performance is clearly a problem, and has been since I started on OwnCloud 10 years ago. I wish the devs would do something to improve it but again, having used it for 10 years, I know that they won’t. When it finally blows up I’ll move to something else I guess.

Sounds like you’re in the UK, if so I’d recommend legit companies run by old nerds like Mythic Beasts: https://www.mythic-beasts.com/domains

Same here. Works great, incredibly cheap too.

I don’t name my servers anything special, but I do name my various Zigbee sensors in Home Assistant after Egyptian gods. Atum-Ra, Tefnut, Shu, etc. I’ve avoided the ones that also coincide with Stargate gods, as I thought that would be too exciting for me.

Not sure exactly what you’re asking but I have a Coral mini pcie with frigate and it works great. Hardly any cpu and tiny power consumption.

Yeah, I know this is the self hosted community, but nothing is as easy and straightforward as OneNote. I keep coming back to it after trying self hosted solutions.

Giffgaff uses o2 and also blocks duckdns. Additionally, whatever blocklist my employer is using also blocks it, so it’s probably a common thing now.

I’ve tried a lot of different things before settling on a old (windows) laptop with a wireless mouse and keyboard… I just cba with any of the streaming boxes anymore, and the laptop will always be compatible and performant.

Agreed, just sell the old phone and use the money to buy a proper camera.
