  • I recently adopted a dog who I want to monitor when I’m away from home. So I got a cheap motion tracking in-home camera with cloud storage, and AI identification for people and pets. The AI functions never fucking worked. I already had a Ring camera.

    Did a bit of research after realising the cheapo camera was shit, and went for a eufy stack to replace the Ring doorbell and tbr shitty in-house camera.

    I now have:

    • eufy Video Doorbell
    • eufy HomeBase 3, with an added 1TB of storage
    • eufy IndoorCam C220

    This gives me

    • local storage for both cameras on the HomeBase.
    • the HomeBase also gives you local AI for (individual) person, (general) pet, vehicle, and package identification. I haven’t tried the vehicle identification.
    • streaming in the app for both cameras should work in 2k. I have it set to 1080p. It’s good enough for me.
    • continuous recording is an option. I have it set to motion alerts because
    • the app gives you motion and doorbell alerts. You can configure how much information you want in the notifications, to prevent video’s from passing through eufy’s servers.










  • Does your FS support online resizing?

    Yeah. I mainly use btrfs; it supports online growing and shrinking.

    Be super careful about partition sizes. […]

    I know. I have done plenty of same device partition resizing. I know the pit falls, and for safety shrink the FS to below what the LV is going to be.

    Have backups.

    Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been meaning to set up snapshot backups for this machine using rsnapshot as an experiment. I mainly use Dirvish








  • Sorry for the late reply.

    I don’t know if ROC can do multicast on its own. I use the Pipewire source and sink. And I only do the one-to-one setup.

    I did some tests in Pipewire:

    Configuring multiple sinks is possible on a machine. They simply present as additional output devices. So if you want to switch audio to another source, that should be doable by switching to another output device.

    Doing one-to-many: I don’t know if that is possible with ROC alone. You might be able to do something with Pipewire graphs
