    Blue Iris 6.0 coming?

    I just got a BI news email talking about their new eCommerce providers. They also mentioned BI 6.0 "Looking forward to 6.0!" No timeline mentioned. Am I behind on the news or is this recent?

    Lemons in Texas

    All of you in Florida and California would see this as ho-hum but I don't think it's very common in North Texas. I bought this Meyer lemon tree as an impulse item about 5 years ago at Home Depot. I've repotted it 4 times, trimmed the crap out of it when it gets too leggy, brought inside in...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    Using CrystalDiskInfo I get a caution as you can see on the attach photo showing Reallocated sectors count above threshold. I looked with WD's Dashboard program and ran a short S.M.A.R.T test and it finds no problems. I have not noticed any problems so far on this drive. Oddly enough my other BI...

    Mobile forum access

    I access this forum from my desktop but I'm sure quite a few of you access it from your smartphone. There may be times when I want to access from my Android. I'm curious what you use - browser, tapatalk, or similar forum oriented program.

    Viewing alerts different after upgrading to 5.9.3.4

    Ok, I know I'll feel like a dumbass after you tell me the solution but I upgraded to 5.9.3.4 from 5.9.1.0. Previously when I viewed an alert it showed like a bookmark within the clip (continuous recording). I could click on the timeline if I wanted to see what happened before or after an alert...

    Miss me, But let me go

    Not to be overly melodramatic but I know some in this forum have lost loved ones recently and I saw this and thought - if I had the ability as I lay dying I might like to say something like this.

    GSA Used ‘Egregiously Flawed’ Data In Buy Of Chinese-Made Cameras: Watchdog

    Maybe old news? an IT security company alerted the GSA in June about five vulnerabilities in the equipment, and further added that it could be turned into “rogue wireless network gateways” https://www.offthepress.com/gsa-used-egregiously-flawed-data-in-buy-of-chinese-made-cameras-watchdog/

    Unless you are in Arizona or Hawaii (correct me if I'm wrong) we will be doing this useless crap again Saturday night.

    Man pretends to be mannequin to steal jewellery

    Well that's a unique way for a burglary, clever but he should have done more planning since they nabbed him later. https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/man-pretends-to-be-mannequin-to-steal-jewellery-after-shop-closes-20231021-p5edzt.html

    Oh no! The nearly 1 trillion $ food market may be panicking.

    "Well, it didn't take long for corporate America's chronic infatuation with social obesity to blow up and on Wednesday, Walmart warned that it is already seeing an impact on shopping demand from people taking the diabetes drug Ozempic, Wegovy and other appetite-suppressing medications."...

    Anybody else using parking assist in their garage?

    I finally got my shed built and cleared enough out of my garage to get my truck in the garage (after the hail storm damaged my truck of course). Parking is a bit tight, I considered hanging tennis balls, floor ramps, a guide on the wall, and I found this on Amazon. It's looking like it will work...

    Hail after 2 months of no rain

    I got a new truck and I've been building a backyard shed to clear out the garage so I can get my truck in there - looks like I can't get it done fast enough.

    Do you keep your BI log files?

    I was noticing my folder for BI log files has 3 years of monthly files adding up to 241 MB. I have plenty of free space so it's not really a problem, I guess I have a touch of OCD and tend to clean out unnecessary flies sometimes. I was just curious if others kept their log files forever or...

    My truck is a place critters go to die

    If you have to park outside you may have experienced this. I noticed my truck smelled like something dead when I got in but I couldn't see anything under the hood or inside. I finally saw it with the door opened ( I circled it in the photo) and then saw where it had chewed away the plastic at...

    Anybody using Cloudflare Tunnel?

    I saw a YouTube video about this and wondered if anyone here had it or tried it. I have used Openvpn, I'm using ZeroTier at the moment, I don't have any real complaints about either one of those, just wondered if Cloudflare Tunnel was preferable for anyone.

    Smart locks - more invasion of privacy?

    I think most of us on the forum are in our own home since this is all about cameras and security on the forum. I'm thankful for that. I've thought about getting an electronic lock that uses a keypad but haven't really researched it, never even thought about a "smart lock", I may just continue to...

    What software do you use for backup?

    I've been using Macrium Reflect free for several years and really like the software but they are discontinuing support after 2023. I don't mind paying the $150 for a 4-pack for my home computers but I don't know yet whether this is a yearly thing (many companies seem to be going to a yearly...

    Do you use AdGuard or Pi-Hole?

    I've been considering using either one of these to cut down on ads. I notice Raspberry pi prices have gone through the roof due to chip shortage but I see other alternatives at a much lower price, some even able to use cases meant for Raspberry. How has your experience been with AdGuard...
