fun little #Mastodon network nerd dork special talk time about a #Steamdeck and 4 seconds of jitter that drove me absolutely insane:
for more than fucking year i've stopped doing Moonlight/Sunshine to my #Steamdeck from my gaming rig cuz it started doing these microstutters every 30 seconds and i could not figure out what it was.
I went insane installing Apollo vs Sunshine, virtual device drivers, switching to a hdmi virtual display dongle, tweaking Steam network settings, etc.Eventually I gave up because I started playing some non-AAA games natively on the deck so the need stopped arising for Moonlight.
But now since Death Stranding 2 is out I decided to try again.... and it was still doing it
I kept thinking it was the Deck wifi or something scanning every 30 seconds so just was doing all this crap.
then I finally wondered if it wasn't just the deck but everything in the house.
So I watched my whole house traffic and noticed a similar tiny bit of network activity happening every 30 seconds to a few devices.
I thought maybe home assistant, etc. but nothing i powered down was changing anything.so i put the full wireshark client on my deck and did a 90 second long capture to get 3 events and finally fucking got i and it was not remotely anything i would have expected
*every 30 seconds there was an ARP flood across two entire fucking subnets from my Blue Iris NVR server*
it was just hitting every fucking IP in the range, so like 500+ going "HELLO????????"
why?
over a year ago i swapped a camera for another one and never disabled the old camera in Blue Iris; i just hid it. i think maybe i thought i would swap the cameras back or something.
so for over a year, every 30 seconds Blue Iris was going "WHERE IS THIS CAMERA? HELLO????" and fucking flooding the network with these tiny requests that were unnoticeable unless you were trying to stream a game since that required a constant 0 interruption network connection because of frame rate and refresh rate matching shit.
I disabled the camera properly and now everything is back to full smooth glory. So time to fight death with my baby.
so TMYK: Disable your cameras properly in BlueIris or it will become a little scanning bitch

Looks like #BlueIris 6.0 is around the corner. I'm excited to see what they do. The UI updates would be a welcome change. I wish I could run it in a docker too.
"Blue Iris has never held back on new functionality over the years and has offered frequent updates. A transition to "6.0" however offers us an opportunity to freshen the UI, update core code libraries, and offer expanding functionality into both AI and home automation. "

Bit of a flash back post, but for any #BlueIris users here, I have a blog post on using a spare computer monitor and Chromecast to run your camera display, for example on a bookshelf 🤩

2/🧵I would just switch it to Linux if it was not for #BlueIris. I think I might need to try out some of the registry edits report online to bypass the system compatibility checks to allow the upgrade to #Windows11. Has anyone else successfully done this?

1/🧵I’ve been looking forward to the time when I needed to upgrade and rebuild the home windows machine that’s hosts #BlueIris and a #HASS VM, amongst other things. The smell of new electronics and building a PC from scratch is somewhat therapeutic.
The upcoming end of life for Windows 10 was going to be that forcing moment I was waiting for. However, with interest rates, cost of living and a young family, that aspiration isn’t feasible at the moment.

The local prankster had his little enjoyment for the night pressing our doorbell at midnight - unaware that I was unfazed as I was awake and will still be up for another 3hrs. It also helped that #blueiris and the house's cameras picked up on it straight away with a “human” alert - so I knew exactly what was happening.

Oh boy. Looks like #BlueIris is having server issues that is causing people’s installs to switch to trial mode. Not looking good.

Looks like #BlueIris has been #hacked. Home page says it'll be back in a few days with a link to download an exe - that's a link I'm absolutely not clicking!
Apparently activation servers are down too, causing fully licensed servers to revert to evaluation mode.
I'm soon going to be in the market for some camera software and BlueIris, despite being closed source and Windows-based was top of my list. Maybe not any more....

Playing around with Deepstack AI. Image analysis to make my CCTV system smart and to get alerts when there is really a person and not clouds hovering over the sunlight.
Promising technology, seems to work pretty good!
