A flat-earther made it into the comments of one of my videos. You can see the exchange here.

So, my question is: have you ever met a flat-earther?

I have a new video. It's marked as members-only, but don't worry - it releases for everyone tomorrow. I won't be doing member-only content, but I'm completing a requirement from a YouTube thing I attended.

‪@neilhogg8034‬ Your video is almost here...

5 months. That's how long it was from me STARTING my phone opsec video, to me FINISHING it. In that time, I bought two used phones for the video. And I signed up for Cape, and have actually lived the split IMEI life. And it culminates in a video that lets you choose how far you want to go to get back some privacy and up your security.

I hope you like it. It's very long, but I couldn't really think of ways to cut it down further.

Let me know what you think!

The Radxa Zero 3W is back in stock on Aliexpress: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807428419499.html

$27 for the 1GB

If the Radxa Zero 3W was like having an LS3 in a riding mower, it's safe to say that the Orange Pi Zero 3W is a less scary, and much more polished, product.

First of all, you get a distro that doesn't fall to pieces when you try to do an apt update.

Second, you get a tiny board that's surprisingly fast.

Let me know what you think!

I've got other manufacturers' SBCs on the way, too - so don't think this is a Radxa-only affair. Some of you were interested in the Radxa Zero 3W, but they sold out (as did the 3E) after my video went up. Oops.

Well, guess what? The Cubie A5E and Cubie A7A are better and faster... and available. I'll be putting these through their paces soon.

Unfortunately, there's not much support for the SoC in BSD right now. I was hoping to load OPNsense on the A5E, but I'll settle for OpenWRT, instead. If you want to see that video, let me know. I have a dual-Ethernet Orange Pi board coming too, if you want to see OPNsense loaded on it.

As for the Cubie A7A, it has some rudimentary NPU capabilities. I'll see if I can get a small inference model running on it.

Who's ready for Proxmox + Frigate + Home Assistant?

I've got all the video assets recorded now. It's a matter of art and organization.

Should the video have EVERYTHING from start to finish, or should it be split into parts?
In parts, it would be:
1.) loading proxmox, loading frigate, loading home assistant,
2.) configuring cameras, configuring Frigate, configuring Frigate in Home Assistant
3.) AI model usage in Frigate

Ok. I've delivered SOMETHING.

This video was ordered off of the secret menu.

I think I'm past the technical issues that slowed down my Frigate video, but I'm still a week or so out on that one. Today's video is for the Radxa Zero 3W - an inexpensive and more powerful Raspberry Pi alternative (between a Pi 3b+ and 4, in terms of capability) - for $22.

Next? Either NextCloud part 2, or one of the NVR videos.

An update for anyone who is patiently waiting...

I have finished 3 scripts... and not recorded any of them. Or at least, I haven't FINISHED recording them. The culprit? My cruddy HDMI capture dongle. It works, but it really doesn't like when the video mode changes during a recording (which happens a lot with the Proxmox install and pre-built NVR).

Once I get past my technical issues, I have the Frigate/Home Assistant video, the NextCloud part 2, and the pre-built NVR videos are ready to go.
