gentoo with openrc works just fine for me (for docker/podman there is a separate debian machine though, as I don’t want untraceable blobs from the internet in my LAN)

I’d go for HLS due to its simplicity: just files over http(s). VPN or not - depends on your network. If your machine is accessible from the internet, just putting the files into a webserver subdirectory with a long random path and using https will be secure enough for the usecase. Can be done with an ffmpeg oneliner.
The downside of HLS is the lag (practically – 10s or more, maybe 5 if you squeeze it hard). It is in no way realtime. Webrtc does it better (and other things too), but it is also a bigger pain to set up and forward.
Also, just in case, test that the webcam works fine if left active 24/7. I had (a cheapo) one that required a powercycle after a week or so…
Freecad is… rough. But, it has python API, and that’s what I ended up using for almost all my stuff (there also was a period of using cadquery, but installing it is a horrible pain, so I gve up).
Also using onshape every now and then, but many things are just too annoying to do with a gui.
Damn, they don’t send to NL :(
Whatever works for you. Just do it. It is convenient as f when you are just starting. You can always improve incrementally later on when (if) you encounter a problem.
Too much noise/power costs to run a small thing - get a pi and run it there. Too much impct on your desktop performance - okay, buy a dedicated monster. Want to deep dive into isolating things (and VMs are too much of a hassle) - get multiple devices.
No need to spend money (maybe sponsoring more e-waste) and time until it’s justified for your usecases.
Better dependency control. I strongly prefer software that only depends on the stuff I can get from the package manager. This lowers the chance of supply chain attacks. Doesn’t prevent them, but I expect repo maintiners to do a better job looking at packages, than a developer who just puts another pip/gem/npm install
in a dockerfile.
Also if something is only available in a container, it sort of screams “this code is such a mess, we don’t even know a simple way to run it” to me.
create graph on the UI
that’s something I want to avoid
hard for me to imagine a situation where graphs need to be edited so often
the whole system is under development (trying new views, changing how the data is represented, etc), so I don’t need to imagine it, I have it right in front of me ;)
To be precise, the page explains how to configure some things and how to upload the config. I also tried that.
The problem is in the dashboard jsons. They are not well documented (docs on specific plots are missing), and are a pain to edit (as any json).
The grafanalib
tool I mentioned tries to help with that by implementing a sort of DSL for dashboards, but it is not ideal.
(edit: lost a word)
Yeah, but then you have to use Evolution.
Maybe, after a few months (or a year, as I may or may not have experienced) of “communication” you’ll be allowed to use Thunderbird. Only for it to be suddenly blocked again later because some dude didn’t understand why can’t everyone just use Outlook.
And don’t even dream of having a script to, say, sort and preprocess your mail.
