That would take a bit more effort to do species identification but it would be very cool! I kept this project pretty simple with just using object detection. So "if (detectedObject.type == 'bird') ..."


Sorry everyone for the terrible service. :( Just discovered that my page kite instance only handles up to 5 requests! So here's a PDF to the page hosted on skynet. https://siasky.net/_Ajdq1vNw7AsSfY4cIgkAPyKg9quUabhtuTdwSWiz...


Not an ad. The site is hosted on my freedombox in my house. It's not handling the traffic too well lol.

Also there's no JS on the site. Just plain old HTML. Written with just notepad.


Noted. Thanks for clarifying.

I will try to check it out later as I find birds, and all life really, fascinating. Wish I could befriend a bird or more like I do with cats and dogs


Sure! Yeah I wish I could do the same with birds as well. Like just go out and hang with them and pet them. They're some birds on my porch right now and a female baby great tailed grackle trying to break into my office window haha!


Yay very cool! Been using them for 5+ years now and I love it. Happy to pay. Their web interface has stayed very fast and well organized I think. Love the fact that you get a huge list of domains to choose for your email(s)! imap.cc is one of my favorites. ^_^


Yeah forget metal. Apple should focus more on supporting opengl. DirectX and GL are already fantastic graphical APIs.


I don't think anyone who works in the industry thinks that OpenGL or DirectX (pre-12) are "fantastic graphical APIs" unless judging solely on install base.

Everything I've heard says that Vulkan and Metal both are far more efficient, let you get more out of the hardware with less CPU time, and can more easily support newer features.

OpenGL as a major target platform is dying, it's just a question of how long the tail is.


The problem is that Apple did not follow the natural death curve of OpenGL (which is generally in favour of Vulkan, and libraries built on it), they just completely stopped working on supporting new OpenGL extensions and versions since 2010 (!), and didn't have metal macOS until 2017.

Even from the perspective of bringing people smoothly to their proprietary API, they have failed miserably.


Hence why no single games console makes use of OpenGL.


Never seen these before and just bought one! I'm going to try running some old 3d games via Wine on the Pi and this fan will probably really help performance. :)


Fantastic read. Thanks for sharing that! :0)


I guess having a "server" would have prevented the down time. ;)


Dang, I thought farcebook was supposed to bring communities/world together. Haha yeah.... /s


Haha yeah I'm going to get express vpn now thanks to this article. I can also pay with bitcoin! Yes! :)


But ExpressVPN does admit to keeping

> connection logs including the date of the connection (not the time) and the server used. The total amount of data transferred per user is also monitored. ExpressVPN doesn’t log your IP but the connection logs are tied to the user account.[0]

Good VPN is like treasure hunt :) gist.github.com/kennwhite/1f3bc4d889b02b35d8aa
