    I'm not from the US, but based on my knowledge of your culture, it may be worth it to write a letter to your state's Attorney General

    This is not using an eGPU with macOS, ie you can't run your chrome on macOS with its GPU acceleration coming from this eGPU. This is tunneling that eGPU to a Linux VM.

    Surprised to see that there's no official binaries for arm64 darwin. Meaning macOS users will have to run it through the Rosetta 2 translation layer.

    > And on top of it, if you develop for native macOS, There’s no official tooling for visual verification. It’s like 95% of development is web and LLM providers care only about that…

    Get a TP Link Tapo! They are like 20-30 bucks and come with ONVIF. EZVIZ is another ban-evading arm of HIKVision, easily available in Europe and has RTSP (confirmed) with alleged s…

    To be able to use ffmpeg with its native network capabilities in a usecase of media servers, where you need to stream your input to it, and then get multiple outputs (think HLS) th…

    I've traveled around a lot in the past couple years so my situation (read: homelab equipment) has been changing and my usecase has been changing with it. It started out as: - I don…

    Thank you for sharing your experience. Seems like this is not relevant to your setup & usecase. People who need this know who they are. Not everything is for everybody.

    I've explored sftp since ffmpeg has built-in support for it (-i sftp://...), but the support is quite buggy in code, I hope to submit some patches upstream to be able to change it.…
