Frankly, once you get more than just a few cameras, being able to edit a config file is so much better than having to click through settings for literally hours like with Shinobi or Motioneye.

I've personally been quite pleased with the combination of Frigate and some Amcrest POE cameras. Just make sure the cameras you are getting support RTSP though and you should be able to use them with Frigate.

Also make sure you block the cameras from reaching the public internet using your firewall, and only make them reachable from your Frigate host. Personally I use a VLAN with no internet access and enforce tagging at the switch level (i.e. don't trust the cameras to maintain their own VLAN) settings.

I wouldn't bother with vacuum bags If I were you. I think it's fine if you're using a drying box after the filament has been sitting out a while. Doesn't hurt to try and find out at least...

Personally, I just use a big plastic storage bin with a bunch of silica desiccant in it. I just busted out some polycarbonate (notoriously hydrophyllic) recently that had been sitting in there for 4+ months and printed straight away; no stringing or anything.

Never leave anything on the toilet tank lid - you may someday have to rush to get it off so that you can push the flapper down and stop any more water from going into the bowl.

I use the washable gluesticks for my polycarbonate prints. I just put PC prints under warm water for a few minutes and they pop right off. Gluesticks generally reduce bed adhesion though IME, so it's a fine line to walk; I never use gluesticks with PETG for example because then the parts don't stick to the bed enough.

Presumably via Xwayland, but I haven't tried it.

I've had a good experience with Onboard.

Tt-rss has been reliable for me, and the frontend is decent. Not to mention you can just republish feeds for a different frontend to use.

18 grams of espresso beans produces 45 grams of espresso liquid when running the machine for 30 seconds.

I was always taught that you're supposed to slap the load twice while saying "That's not going anywhere" after all the straps are tight, but it might just be a regional thing.

Yeah, you just need to get the third dimension involved to make it work. Pythagoras would be fine with it.
