I dont want to own because of equity, there is a lot of other reasons why owning is important for me. For example there is a lot of things I would like to do in my apt that I cannot as a renter: passing cables in the walls, moving a wall, adding some electric plugs etc. I also have less stability, even if I have some protections tbe owner could always decide to do some big renovations and kick me out.
Renting is okay, but there is big drawbacks and I should be able to own if I want to.
And aside from that, house prices going up also means rent going up. Rent going up means more people in the streets. It’s just bad for everyone who is not already an owner
I’m looking for security cameras that will integrate with my home server and nas. I want ones that record to my nas without some BS subscription service, and ideally run FOSS server logic I can deploy on my server. I’ve got one camera now that sorta does what I want, except the software isn’t FOSS and I’ve been unable to...
The most OSS solution out there would probably bee to use an ESP32-CAM with esphome(esphome.io/components/esp32_camera.html). I think you could even add a motion sensor to that as well. But it would require more work and some electronic knowledge to set up an esp32.
I’m not a big expert so I’m probably just ignorant, but why do you want to remove the IR filters? Also I was planning on using esp32 but inside only, and keep them naked. Does it overheat in this condition?
After years of Mint I’ve decided to look for other options. Im considering doing it myself in a spreadsheet but before I go that route (not ideal) I thought I’d see if anyone had recommendations on good basic family-budget apps. Would be great if it could link with bank accounts but I’m open to anything at this point.
+1 for actual. I’ve been using it for the past 2 months and so far I love it. It’s not the most complex tool so it’s easy to manage. If you can export your operations to CSV or one of the main proprietary softwares, actual can import that and it works pretty well.
For more complex things like making forecasts I just excel on the side and it’s enough.
Housing market affordability is so bad that Zillow says it will take you 13.5 years to break even on a purchase from July onward ( finance.yahoo.com )
Best cameras that can connect to a home lab?
