Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I'm home.

Ah ok thanks, so just to be clear, when you come home it will still "alert" you to an "intruder" (until your GPS updates presumably).

That's cool, so with the AI chip it can recognize individuals people and pets? Just wondering how you prevent it from alerting you for well, you.

Last I looked into this Frigate was the most robust path to take, they recommend cameras that are about $50-$100 each but in my playing around I connected a Yi camera ($10) with custom firmware.

That said it was all a bit over my head and I had trouble connecting it to home assistant and gave up

I would love a follow up post with whatever setup you go with!

I agree, atomic distos have allowed me to make the switch and are better and easier than windows and even macos.

No, you can't. You can have a custom domain ("PDS" is the term they invented for this) but it still relies on bluesky's servers.

Don't let them distract with with the "whattabout matrix". The Matrix Foundation is not a social media company, and furthermore it's a nonprofit.
