That’s weird. I have never had a doorbell fail. My current doorbell is a 1990’s system that goes to mini crt displays in the house. Kind of like this

It’s over 25 years old.

I also have several noname IP cameras around the outside and they’ve never failed. One is almost 10 years old now.

Not op but in my case I’ve seen huge differences between USB cards and high quality cards. 20 years ago I used to use bt878 capture cards. A few years ago I bought a Viewcast Osprey on eBay.

In particular I use a svhs tape player with built in time base corrector. The reason for svhs is because the hardware supports actual svhs output. Vhs tapes are store with luminous and chroma as separate signals. With regular composite output, that data is mixed into one signal. This causes interference patterns like dot crawl and color fringing.

The other big advantage over USB dongles is all the ones I’ve seen don’t let you capture the raw data- it’s pre compressed with lossy like mjpeg or mpeg which is another huge quality drop because you’ll usually want to post process the video with avisynth before compressing it to mpeg4.

My target is for the captured video to look just as good as it originally did on a VHS player on a crt. So the interlaced to progressive conversion is always tricky. I don’t personally do it but one trick to keep resolution is to capture at 60fps and play each 30i field doubled. That way no detail is lost in the source and it uses your eyes to motion blur the fields together.

Yes! They don’t believe forking is good enough because his version of rsync is mainline. That’s why he thinks the rsync developer needs to give up his project to someone else.

I’m arguing right now with a user who things that the developer of rsync should either change how they write code or hand over their project to someone that meets their personal standards for how software should be written.

Rsync is his boat. It’s his hobby. He patched the hole in the boat the way he wanted.

Stop posting and hand your username/PW over to someone who will post the way the community wants.

The community doesn’t like what you are writing. You need to hand over your username/PW to someone that will write what is in line with their standards

The bot must be upvoting itself because yet again it listed a bunch of random abbreviations that aren’t in the thread at all.

Someone claimed it’s not ai slop but a bot with GitHub code but that code doesn’t produce this result.

I have no idea what you are using to browse Lemmy because the only notification I get is a number next to my profile icon in web browser or Thunder. And that’s often delayed by several days so I frequently look through my own old posts to find replies because don’t get reliable notifications.

You don’t want him taking shortcuts with AI. He would need to spend more time working on rsync to make you happy.

Communists understand the difference between private property and personal property.

He didn’t screw anyone over. The non ai version is still there. Demanding that he change what he has written into a form that you find acceptable is as silly as my demanding that you write a reply that agrees with me.

It would have been possible for the developer to turn over mainline rsync

It’s his code. There is no mainline rsync. Whatever the community picks is mainline. When people didn’t like where MySQL was going, they forked and made MariaDB the “mainline”.

If people keep downloading his rsync and not another, that’s their choice. We might not like it but you can’t force people to use the software you prefer.

You’re so self-righteous

No need for insults.

what compels the carpenter to make it to your specifications? Even if you paid him? Nothing.

Violating a contract has penalties. Yes he can ignore it and then give your money back with the potential of being required to give extra money back because of the contract violation.

The trouble is, you insist on framing this in terms of the carpenter’s rights.

It wasn’t my analogy. I’m working with what you gave me.

disputing his rights.

Demanding he work for free is disputing his rights.

But expecting every hobbyist to serve my needs for free just because I don’t have their skill sets would be insane.

I think this mindset shows up often on the Internet because many posters are children. It is normal for them to be given an assignment and have to complete it without compensation. So they think that’s how the world works.

Yes. That’s how everything works. If you don’t know how to build a shelf by yourself or don’t have the time, you pay a carpenter to do what you want.

It’s now the carpenter’s problem to make the shelf with the specifications that you gave him.

He also didn’t delete the old version. So there’s two soups for free, one labeled with piss and one labeled piss free.

People could take the piss free version.

Not his problem. You didn’t pay the carpenter.

It’s still his bridge in his yard even if he had been letting everyone use it.

It’s not his problem. He’s handing out free bridges to everyone. But people want him to build his bridge their way and keep using his bridge.

If he wants to ruin his personal project, that’s his right.

It was on YouTube like 6 years ago. I did it 4 years ago and they’ve been running great.

You need to get a lifepo4 that has a lead acid drop in BMS.

Lifepo4 charges at 14.2. So it’s not only safe, but it means the lifepo4 is undercharged which dramatically increases its lifespan at the cost of runtime.
