Can you imagine how it probably smells?

Preach.

I’ve had success with Jet Dry and Cascade Platinum plus pods. Our filter gets super gross after about 10 cycles. Between cleaning out the filter often and running those two product combos, we don’t really have a smelly washer. My other thought was your water quality. We have a whole house water softener. Have you tested to see if you have super hard water? This ruins appliances. Simple test can be bought on Amazon.

Only downside to it. Ran it in a windows VM in Unraid for about 5 years.

I think BlueIris full retail copy is something like $50. You pay yearly for upgrades which is around $25. It’s gone through many major upgrades. They do have a trial you can grab to give it a shot.

I know you said Open Source but the ones I tried were not fabulous. I used BlueIris for about a decade. I recently depreciated that for a Ubiquity NVR and cameras. BlueIris works well if you have an Intel CPU with iGPU to do the decoding. BlueIris can record to network attached storage and if you follow online guidelines you can ensure CPU utilization isn’t through the roof.

While I agree that when the tip option comes up at the register when someone is literally handing something back to me (like takeout) is sort of ridiculous. However, that’s vastly different than someone going to the store on your behalf, checking out, driving to your house and walking all items to your front door does probably merit a tip. While I agree, some tipping suggestions from Instacart are a bit on the high side, think of the human being on the other side of this service. If you truly don’t want to tip, you’re welcome to get your own goddamned groceries. Food for thought.

Or just dumb luck, which was my case.

And can contain some fun ascii art.

This guy shits.

Science is a liar sometimes
