Is there a more cost effective solution for frigate nvr?


A mini-PC like a Lenovo m720q or m920q can be had for about $120 on secondary markets. It works great for me as a frigate server. I'm using it with 6 cameras and plan to add couple of more. If you look around on ebay, you might able to find one with 16gb ram and even a m.2 or SSD drive included. Then get the m.2 (A+E) version of the Coral TPU board ($30-35). That can be inserted into the wifi board slot. The m720q has a i5-8400T. While it's a 8th gen intel CPU , its more than capable of handling Frigate , as well several other applications if you run it in Proxmox or even barebones install. It has one m.2 for storage slot. But can also hold one 2.5 inch SSD. So you can drop in a cheap nvme drive for boot & OS. Use a much cheaper larger SSD for video storage. (what i've done)


Rockchip are the most common "Chinese boards available with on-chip TPUs" as the GP comment puts it, and they are community supported by Frigate now: https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/hardware/#rockchip-platfo...

RK3566 boards are cheaper than a Raspberry Pi 5, but you get less model support, and no Frigate+ model.

I remember when I was a child, crashing my father's Windows 3 computer because I set all the desktop icons to animated GIFs!


You could _do that_?


That never happened.


I second the sibling comment that it was absolutely possible to have animated icons on Windows 3.1(1).

I was only 11 or 12 at the time, but I distinctly remember the two Windows 3.1(1) machines in our school computer center having animated icons on their desktop in '93 or '94, but I know I couldn't do the same on my own PC at home, so they must have had some extra software installed to make that possible.

My assumption today is that being so long ago it would be some other format, but Wikipedia says GIF format was released in 1987 so it might have been.



You could in fact make icons animated, they were not gifs as far as I remember and I can definitely see it crashing windows 3 with 2mb memory sticks. I still have those memory sticks laying around.


With respect to welding, $2k for a PAPR helmet is stil a hard pill to swallow!


You should see the bill for tumor removal!


I wear a 3M 7502 half face respirator behind my 3M Speedglas autodark mask and it fits just fine. A proper integrated system would be nicer but this setup is safe and works for 1/10th the price. Also if it's not too hot and humid I can leave safety glasses on which is convenient for grinding--just flip up the visor and go for it, no safety squints needed.


Who would you expect?


Fraud detection


There already exists tight constraints on field grade. The mounting hardware has limits to how much one section can differ from the next. You can imagine that you need each horizontal beam some maximum number of degrees from parallel, and the vertical posts will only have so much extra length to account for variation.


Some of my fondest childhood memories are summer visits to my great uncles farm. Playing with a cow magnet in the dirt under the bench grinder in the tractor barn is one of them. I remember them being strong, but I was 10.


What is?


Nothing, for now.

Isn't that what HIPIFY does? https://github.com/ROCm/HIPIFY


problem being that despite years of work and despite all the marketing hype, it’s still missing basic feature that are over 10+ years old on the nvidia side. If you can’t do dynamic parallelism then kernels can never launch kernels, for example. It has “partial support” for texture unit access. Inter-process communication is not supported. Etc.
