Often wondered whether it would be possible / advisable to combine DBOS with, e.g., Dagster if you have complex data orchestration requirements. They seem to deal with orthogonal concerns but complement nicely. Is integration with orchestration frameworks something the DBOS team has any thoughts on?

There are easily 50 different NVR applications out there. They differentiate themselves based on processing and analysis versus supported platforms.
Frigate is a reasonably immature project but it is getting better with each release. Blue Iris is adored but it does have a Windows requirement so that might disqualify it for you.
Yes I’m aware. But the whole point of this open firmware afaiu is that is enables use of the existing on-chip AI features for these particular cameras. Which means that something like Frigate - which focuses on running such AI features separately on, e.g., a coral accelerator - might not be a good fit. That’s why I sought the maintainer’s opinion.
I'm generally the guy making "easy installers" for Thingino cams. The default way to install on a cam is to use a flash programmer, some devices you can use a uart adapter.. I try to find opportunities in the factory firmware that allow you to flash using just a SD card when possible, and publish walkthrough videos on my channel. Some other devices you can flash with a flash glitch trick at boot, which I have several devices documented for that method as well. I'm a huge proponent of privacy and security being available to everyone and not just the technically minded user, and being able to get a commodity priced camera to faithfully serve a non-technical user is my goal!
More info is at my installers repo https://github.com/wltechblog/thingino-installers or my YT channel (WLTechBlog)
That’s a great project, thanks for your work. I even have a couple of cameras around the house that look like they should work with this. Do you have any suggestions for an open NVR to pair with cameras running this firmware?
Lots of informative comments in the thread about how carrying with a chambered round reduces the time and complexity to getting a shot off.
I have limited knowledge of guns. I understood that they had a physical safety switch that had to be manipulated before the firearm could be used. Is that the case? If so, is the safety left off when people are carrying with a round chambered? Or have I misunderstood the purpose of the safety?

The UI looks a lot like Harlequin https://github.com/tconbeer/harlequin
I really like Harlequin. Discovered it by accident when I was assessing Textual - I think they showcased it.
I can’t think of another DB TUI tool as nice. I use it mainly with DuckDB, for which I believe it was originally written (although the web notebook UI that now ships with the DuckDB binary is also nice).
Slightly OT, but PyCharm / Datagrip always feels quite flaky with DuckDB. Thanks to Harlequin, I never needed to dig into it too deeply. I only wish that DuckDB supported writes while attached (in read-only mode) from another process! Although I understand there are good reasons for not doing so.

Don’t disagree with the findings wrt MKW specifically, but PSA that, in general, HDR on the Switch 2 can be substantially improved by enabling HGIG tonemapping on TVs which support it, then going through the HDR calibration steps again. HDTVTest covered it here: https://youtu.be/X84e14oe6gs?si=bh1U7OHxGlzzJO8w

TIL that Atuin has a flag that might be useful here: store_failed = false. That looks like a nice low-effort halfway house between active curation and saving everything.
Markdown is like the new WordPerfect for some people, who want expressive written paths to format text.
Like with WordPerfect, there are people who get great utility (attorneys in WP, developers with Markdown), but 80-95% of people don’t get anything out of it.
It’s also one of those things where the constraints are an advantage. Markdown is great for internet facing text content, while many aspects of the mainstream wysiwyg editors are really descended from solutions for placing text on paper.
Former lawyer here. That most commercial contract work is done in Word is a source of major frustration and wasted time for many lawyers. Others are simply unaware that there are any authoring/editing paradigms that allow one to separate the drudgery of getting document formatting just-so, from the actual value-additive work.
Unfortunately there’s no realistic solution to the lock-in, so wrestling with broken paragraph formatting, mismatched text sizes, auto-numbering errors, etc at 2am before a client deadline remains the norm. One of the most frustrating parts of the job.
Of course it’s Europa.

The diffusion approach is really interesting -- it's something we haven't checked out for applying edits just yet. It could work quite well though!
You can definitely use it for markdown, but we haven't seen anyone test it for plaintext yet. I'm sure it would work though, let us know if you end up trying it!
Perfect, thanks for the reply - I absolutely will try it, we have a specific need for this capability.
