Hard Pass

One of my favourite tracks from the series and from Cold Storage.

I really loved those games back in the 90s. The aesthetics were quite innovative. And the soundtracks were a big part of my teenage years.

It's pretty interesting to see how China can order a US company to unwind the purchase of another company in Singapore, after it was already complete.

Ever since the 2024 election, Democrats have been searching for answers as to what went so wrong to possibly have re-installed Donald Trump as president.

And for much of that time, there’s been anticipation about an “autopsy” from the Democratic National Committee that drilled down on that precise question.

Except that autopsy never actually arrived. And eventually DNC Chairman Ken Martin said he wouldn’t release it.

But now Martin is reversing course and releasing an incomplete version of the document, after an outcry from some in the party.

The artificial intelligence company announced the data center will be positioned in the heart of the small, race car-themed bedroom where 8-year-old Billy Treaker fights a rare kidney disease on a daily basis.

I'll note that new consumer appliances shifted away from these a while back. So the cost benefit isn't for consumers; it's for corporations which have large existing systems which are leaking.

Last week, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) published two Form 278-T disclosure reports covering Trump’s personal financial activity from January through March 2026. The documents, more than 100 pages, show more than 3,700 individual stock transactions. That’s more than 40 trades per market day across a three-month period.

More than half of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents expressed frustration with the party, despite the fact that Democrats appear well positioned to take the House and compete for the Senate in November. Registered voters favored Democratic candidates over Republicans by 10 percentage points, a sizable margin less than six months out from the midterms.

But beneath that strong showing, unhappiness spanned almost every part of the party’s coalition — including young, white, Black and college-educated voters — and was especially strong among Democrats least attached to the party, who are the most likely to swing elections.

Hi all! i finally come around publishing a small side project i am running at my home for the last few years. This past month i have revamped it by rewriting the C++ backend and improving the web UI (single page HTML+CSS+AlpineJS) for a broader public.

LazyNVR is a different take on hosting webcams and centralizing access to them. Instead of working on the cameras feed, which is CPU/GPU heavy and doesn't scale much, it relies on cameras on-board capabilities to detect motion and upload recorded videos to your own server.

If you own IP cameras from brands like Dahua, Reolink and many others, you can leverage their on board motion detection capabilities and off-load your server computational power using LazyNVR.

I have some 15 cameras and tools like Frigate or MotionEye just kill my server CPU, but all my cameras can detect motions and automatically record a video and upload it to my server using different protocols (like FTP, sftp, and such). So LazyNVR was born.

The server is written in C++ and basically detect incoming videos, recode (without re-encoding) them to an MP4 web streammable format, and store them well sorted. It will also keep your incoming folders clean and purge stored videos when they are too old. The server will also fetch and refresh still live images from the cameras.

The client is a WEB GUI, actually a single HTML file with CSS and some AlpineJS, which will show the still live images and the list of all the recorded videos letting you download or view them directly.

I am running over 15 cameras from my RaspPi with basically 0% CPU overhead.

I have published LazyNVR on Codeberg (here https://codeberg.org/LazyNVR/lazynvr-sources) because well, i think it's better than GitHub. And there is also a pretty lazy web site on https://www.lazynvr.it/ (which mostly redirect to Codeberg).

Currently there are docker images for AMD64 and ARM64, but it's pretty easy to compile directly, with the provided instructions in the Codeberg Wiki.

Please, feel free to try it!

Mandatory AI disclaimer: i don't use AI for coding. Zero code (C++ or Javscript) has been written by or with AI support in this project. I have used AI extensively for the CSS stuff that i hate, but reviewed and mostly edited it anyway. I have also used AI for research and to write the dockerfile faster, since i am no docker expert. I have personally written the dockerfile anyway, and personally tested as well. The logo has been created with AI, probably it shows.
