idk what flair to use.

I am working on an open source project for home garden and/or farm automation fully offline no logins or internet required. no data center required if you install/manage it yourself.

What does this portion of code do?

its a photo tool for taking a massive amount of photos for classification, and prediction algorithms. it​ can be used to train the future algorithms on your specific needs and your setup.

You install this on your small device, point the USB webcam camera at pests, crops, or plants with diseases etc. You schedule how often it collects photos then come back to photos when you're ready.

There are larger tie ins beyond this but this part only takes the photos and saves them. it also does a safety check to look for humans and blurs them automatically before saving.​ this can be used indoors or outdoors, but you need to protect your hardware from the elements. ​

read through the readme file in the code base for more details. ​

I use this code at home, but it hasn't been widely tested on many devices so there will likely be some friction installing and setting up.

I am actively publishing the code after I do baseline testing. Expect more code dumps over the next few weeks/months.

feel free to comment on your thoughts here or DM me over on git directly.

(There is no news flair, so I'm putting this under generic "discussion" one.) The Finnish government announced yesterday evening that besides the 72tuntia (72hours) and other official preparedness websites, alongside some local municipal preparedness paper leaflets, there will be a printed guide delivered all over mainland Finland. My guess is that the archipelago, especially the largest island of Ahvenanmaa/Åland will get their own version. This morning the news was published also in English, so I decided to share it here, too.

My guess is that this is one way to make sure that everyone has the basic information even if there is a cyber attack and the internet goes down. This is also an excellent way to wake people up a bit - even those, who have never visited any preparedness or household stock up sites.

"The Finnish Interior Ministry will distribute around 3.5 million printed emergency preparedness guides to households and businesses across mainland Finland in January.

The guide will explain how people should prepare for disruptions and crisis situations. It will also cover the increasingly topical threat posed by drones.

Such a guide is essential in case electricity and internet connections are disrupted.

"It is not enough for guidance on preparing for disruptions and crises to be available to the public only through the Suomi.fi online service," says Ira Pasi, a project manager at the Interior Ministry.

The ministry has previously noted that an online guide is a cheaper option and easier to update.

"Reading the online version is particularly easy for the groups that are least prepared. Those who are least prepared are young adults and urban residents," Pasi says."

Bullet points for ease:

- Superdrug and Boots (+ probably others) sell the morning after pill.

- there are 3 pill options with the cheapest being £9.99. I think the most expensive is £39.99.

- you do NOT need to speak to a GP or anyone in person. It can be requested entirely online in under 5 minutes.

- you can request it delivered to your door for about ~£3.

- you can request it for future use:

- you can request it for future use even if you do/don’t currently use contraception.

- you can request it multiple times (I’m at 3+ requests in 2 years, stockpiled for emergencies).

- the request form is 1 page total and asks very few questions. I’m data-cautious and don’t feel like it’s at all invasive.

- my GP and specialists (I have a complex health history) don’t seem to be flagged to this. This seems to be a relatively secure way to obtain emergency contraception without any issues.

Unwanted pregnancy is torture. Childbirth kills. Even more so in emergency situations without medical care.

You may not need the pill today, but what if your neighbour, your undocumented friend, your coerced coworker, or niece, need it tomorrow? What if their GP isn’t safe or available?

Let’s keep up the work of the women who came before us by continuing to keep these available to ALL.
