I believe Sony owns the Helldivers IP, so they may not have had much choice in the matter.

I don’t know much about rPi specific models. For outdoor security cams I always go wired with PoE IP cams that at least have an RTSP stream, that way most standalone NVR software can work with them.

Not a fan of wireless/battery security cameras. I do have one wireless indoor cam, but it’s only to check on the toddler when she’s sleeping, it doesn’t record so no constant stream of data. I think I’m using a cheapie Amcrest out front, I haven’t really looked at cameras in awhile. Dahua’s are often recommended on places like ipcamtalk.com, but you need to look at specific models as there are a lot of them.

I’m not going to pretend like I’m an expert at either of these. Unraid has come a long way now that installing app containers is pretty trivial. I am going to link this reddit comment that does a pretty good ELI5: Here

With the Coral, I think it’s literally the tensor processing unit (hence TPU) or coprocessor that is found usually on GPU’s for AI and machine learning. So you can use it with lower powered devices that can’t fit a discrete GPU or offload the processing to the TPU instead of using CPU/GPU. I think. Don’t quote me on that 😆

I might be a little tired of life… smoothies sounds like the least effort, so just have to think what other ingredients will go well with it now

It’s running on a 10 year old xeon. I already had Unraid running as my Nas that has a bunch of docker containers for Plex, Homeassistant, etc. Deepstack is running on there as a docker container.

FWIW, I setup my security camera 1-2 years ago, so there might be better options now. However there was also a big shortage of Coral TPU’s at the time, even though I did consider using Frigate. I ended up settling on BlueIris for recording as I wasn’t happy with what the free options offered back then. Unfortunately BlueIris is Windows only, so I picked up an ex-lease PC which runs headless just for BlueIris and storing the footage.

I’ve been thinking lately of updating the hardware in the Nas, as there is a huge performance jump if I move to one of the new Raptor/Alder lake Intel chips with quick sync, particularly for transcoding for Plex. But it’s going to be at least a couple of grand to update everything properly, which I don’t have to spend right now :(

We’ve been getting about 8 to 10 dropping everyday, plus some that people have been giving away. Three of us are eating them every night, but we still have two big bowls full!

There are other options. I use deepstack on my nas for object recognition so that I only get alerted by the camera if it recognises vehicles or people in our driveway

So what is everyone else doing with the glut of feijoas? Getting a little tired of eating them everyday

I do have a thing of gochujang in the fridge, I could probably try that next time - but yeah I don’t think it’s really the same.

That’s a great idea with the hot pot base, unfortunately we don’t get to make as much spicy dishes due to kids, but I might try it one day when I can be bothered making separate meals for them.

Awesome! Any decent size asian grocery should have the paste, may also be in the international section in the supermarket. Honestly I never remember to buy it in time… I doubt mine is very authentic either, I usually have the base spices on hand but not always everything. It still ends up delicious though 🤷‍♂️

Doubanjiang would probably make it a lot more authentic, but I usually have to omit anything with chilli so the kids will eat it.

I’m going to try and remember to pick up a jar of it next time, I haven’t been to an asian supermarket in a while though.

So when this happened it looks like the record high temp was -11.5C, whereas it’s normally around -49C.

The article is light on details except:

Scientists say an increasing amount of warm and humid air from lower latitudes are being pushed into the continent, which are to blame for the dramatic temperature rise.

From what I can gather there was a heat wave in eastern Antarctica in March 2022

She does seem happier today, so fingers crossed.

Ah now I’m hungry and haven’t even thought of what to make for dinner yet, hope it turns out well for you!

The littlest was sick again, so not much fun was had here sadly!

Yeah that’s a good one.

Honestly I’ve done it with half the specific chinese ingredients from that recipe missing and it still can taste pretty good. Have some additional chilli powder or condiments on hand for adding into your own bowl is good too so everyone can customise their own

I love making it in winter, very warming and delicious. I’ve improvised it with maybe 80% of the correct ingredients before and it still tastes good. Usually omit any chilli so the kids can eat it. Our eldest is a weirdo who likes to eat noodles and pasta plain, I can usually get her to have the noodles in the soup itself, but the beef must be in a separate bowl for whatever reason 🤷‍♂️ I guess it’s like eating instant noodles that way

I guess it depends on which cut it is. Do you know which part it’s from? If it’s a very lean one, I don’t know how much it would help. I think sous vide works pretty well for leaner cuts though.

Have you got a pressure cooker or multicooker? Could try making something like Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup. I guess you don’t need a pressure cooker but it makes it much quicker and less simmering to make it tender.

Nice! It might just be personal preference I guess? But the temp probe is necessary IMO.

Also I find if doing multiple steaks it feels less stressful. I did 4 thick ones at the same time when I mentioned it the other day and it felt more manageable

I like the sound of this so far.

It’s not mentioned in this article, but on the Herald:

“We’re also cutting red tape and costs on farmers building small dams by raising the height threshold for safety regulations from one to four metres,” Penk said.

Which gets a bit “Hmm…” from me. Seems like a big jump to not have safety regulations for

I play coop PVE games with random matchmaking, Helldivers 2 is still a lot of fun with random people.

Lucky! I just try to buy big cuts when they’re on sale and slice them up myself so I get them to the size I like.
