I mean, electrically all of those things will just attenuate amplitude, not really effect signal oscillations, which is actually what sound is …

All they’re doing is effectively adding a small resistance to the signal which will just lower the volume in effect. Adding any amplifier will fix that

About to start my own HA+Mycroft journey. What eats your wallet exactly?

Any chance you could link? I’m not seeing it on any of my usual trackers, at least not by searching by name

They’re just banning accounts, not even access in a lot of cases, and jeebus other technologies exist. IRC and XMPP aren’t going away ever

Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, you can install a version of the firmware that enabled RTSP streaming, which you could point at a Linux server with an NVR application on it, or any consumer/commercial NVR with RTSP streaming enabled

I’m not really a regular poster, much more of a lurker and commenter, but I’m very capable.

Mixed heritage, AuDHD, cis-male, queer, married to a genderfluid individual and very connected in the LGBTQ community in the Bay Area California.

Dedicated self-hoster, I handle everything engineering from networking, devops, software development (full stack), server automation, electronics and PCB design, and with the help of genAI I’m finally learning how to build a decent front-end.

I used to moderate a solarpunk discord server (in addition up the one for my PCB business) but left after the co-founder went a little nuts and then the big breach just made me distrust the platform entirely.

I’m not sure if my post history is still up on Reddit anymore, as I haven’t posted there in years now, but I used to be quite active under the same handle “pyr0ball”

There’s a squad of elite soldiers in a book series (Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind) who collect ears as trophies, so definitely out there in some other literature as well

Thank you for the several new additions to my own list xD

You read the commits before pushing, and test before committing. I also find it helpful to have a reference for any dev tickets you have in your git tracker

That joke was dangerously cheesy… +1

My partner and I refer to them as Caws and Gronks respectively based on the usual noise

I always read it as “et-c” to get that pronunciation

Have a look at the Pinout guides, and you should get in the habit of reading datasheets. They usually will have reference designs for the power delivery (pins like vcc, vsys, etc). Also most gpio pins will have multiple functions depending on the use case, and some pins may have more or different features. Sounds like with your particular setup, you’ll just need basic digital pins, but if you wanted to add features like RGB backlights or an analog input of some kind like for volume control, you may need to take advantage of either a high speed data pin (for the LEDs) or an ADC pin for the analog sensing.
