Nikki is, as she's happy to admit, quite the nerd, and one of her favorite pastimes is making her home smarter using in-house home automation that relies very little on anything in the cloud. So today, (Happy Hollidays!) she's giving you a quick tour of some of the things she's recently set up to make her home (and her EVs) smarter.

This is way above my head but I figured people here would find this interesting

    Sorry, the video takes too long to get to the subject it claims to be about.

      I think the worst I watched was someone speaking for 5-10 minutes about their bitter divorce before getting to the subject matter.

    Even on peertube with no algorithms it is required to have a thumbnail with exaggerated emotions?

        No, peertube is a YouTube alternative. Videos must be manually uploaded over a server which is them federated to other servers. Like Reddit vs Lemmy or Xitter vs mastodon

          It’s also possible they create and upload the same content in both locations but have to target the larger YouTube demographic via clickbait thumbnails.

      Yea. I see a clickbait thumbnail like this and just scroll on.
