Not exactly home gamer stuff, but there are devices like the Axis cameras which can push to a configured mqtt.

Generally ONVIF is the protocol one should be looking for in a camera, it indicates that the edge device can play ball with a central server (Frigate, Blue Iris, etc). Profile M specifies the metadata into external mqtt:

From readme:

"""

Unverified against the real car — it will confirm or refute itself on the next drive

"""

Looks like a ton of this is aspirational.

For your project -- do you really need the car's GPS positioning? Could go with a dedicated GPS antenna, like the freematics dongle


I've had many drives with the carwatch and the list of verified features is long. Today we tested manufacturer cloud integration for lots of data and e g door locking through it. V0.3 came out today, progress is rapid.


"Right equipment" is probably very load bearing. Wouls need a very high gain directional antenna, not sure if a camera next to the road has the space to pick this up from a moving car.


Long distance RFID readers are currently used mostly for warehouse inventory tracking. Nowadays you can steer antennas using phased arrays like they use in 5G.

Although, as I understand it, Flock itself is mostly just looking for Bluetooth, BTLE, TPMS Sensors, and Wifi devices.


Shows $508 for 2 cartons, so 254 per. NY has probably most expensive smokes, ranging $140-155 per carton


Wont the state tax apply to the NIST ones as well?


I checked by almost completing checkout and no state tax was charged. I would be surprised if the states could tax federal goods.


Generally states can't. I wonder if what could technically trip you up is the lack of tax stamps. But can you get in trouble for having unstamped cigarettes? I'd think generally no.


The argument for "it shouldn't" could be that it's a federal supplier and/or some sort of RnD exception. Not sure if NIST would even sell to a private buyer.


Australia is US$350-$400


Good, making them very expensive is one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking and all associated suffering, cancers, health costs, deaths.


And increase smuggling, black market, and risk of harm by consuming dubious quality products.


Much less than it discourages its use. Tobacco lobbies are fighting price increases tooth and nail, they wouldn't if it didn't work. Countries where the price has gone up have seen decreases in on-going consumption and new addictions. Countries where it's cheap (relative to local income) still have high level of smoking (and second-hand smoking).


Whatever, I like my cigarette.


Tobacco tax is actually crazy. I can get 200 cigarettes for $10 CAD from the natives because it's tax free.


I heard from people. It is crazy, right?


No that’s stupid. It’s a tax on poor people.


Or retail at $15 per pack of twenty over-under the counter at your nearest “convenience” store, if it hasn’t been fire bomber over night in Melbourne, thought that seems to have eased off a bit since they arrested that guy.

USD190 in Norway


You can use raw wireguard + ddns(if your ISP-given IP changes) to achieve this. This also implies maintaining a firewall to allow network pixies in and out. Totally doable, just needs a bit of upfront setup.

Benefit of Tailscale is that run the external servers that your PC and mobile use to establish connection.

Alternatives are Logmein Hamachi(might be dating myself here, haven't used them in 10+ years), Zerotier, Netbird. Headscale too.


That's your right, but the problem is that cameras are in public and some people do mind this.


I believe they mean they don’t mind if others are surveilled against their will


> Kinfolkification

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this referring to?


Pretty sure he meant that as a synonym for "samey" - as in they're all of the same archetype of "clean setup" More about a display case / something meant to look like a workplace vs actually being one.

I'd pay top dollar for an adblocker that would replace ads with "They Live" references


Folks are already walking (and driving, which is more scary) in a daze, glued to their doomscrolling rectangles


Now it's even lower friction. Zuck wants absolutely no delay between you having a moment of inactivity and having reels in your face. They need every single drop of your attention on adverts.


This is probably PEBCAK, but I can't figure out how to capture an island


You have to gain some gold first by killing ships, then once you have 3 you can sail to the island and a button pops up to capture it. Took me a bit to figure it out too. Also once you've captured an island, you can lower your sails there to heal!
