This comment is kind of fascinating because it’s essentially reinventing Slashdot’s metamoderation system 25 years later.
It was good then. No reason it wouldn’t work again today.

But he determined the direction and scope of Democratic policy almost in its entirety
I wouldn’t agree with this.
In terms of the progressive wing pushing the agenda under Biden, Liz Warren has had far more direct impact.
Warren was rather famously successful in landing allies into key positions in banking, education, and labor regulatory agencies. These are the sort of moves that are less flashy, but have played a large part in why we’ve seen things like debt cancellation pushes and a resurgence in antitrust action since Biden took office.
If you’d like object detection with fully local processing/control, I’d highly recommend looking into Frigate. It uses a Coral TPU (basically a little USB stick that acts as an accelerator for detection) and works extremely well. It also has Home Assistant integration if you’re using that. Frigate works with a wide range of cameras and all traffic stays on your local network.
You can also just spend $10 on a domain name with a registrar that offers dynamic DNS. Offhand, both Namecheap and Cloudflare do. I have no idea what my public IP address is because my router just updates it automatically for me. Plenty of DDNS desktop clients around if your router can’t for whatever reason.
One thing this overlooks is that the rigid mounted bed of the V2 causes thermal expansion issues. There’s a lot of really bad lore that gets repeated in the community re: bed heater power because the V2 tends to want to taco the bed if it’s heated too quickly.
The WhoppingOrchard kinematic mounts are a solid option for addressing the issue.
The Trident is the overall better design with a higher performance ceiling.
Flying gantries are a solution forever in search of a problem. They can work okay and they’re fine at the speeds that were common when the V2 was first designed, but there’s a reason why the community has converged on fixed gantry designs. They’re neat to watch operate but they don’t offer any practical advantage. The V2 tends to be relatively slow by modern standards, especially in terms of accel.
The Trident isn’t without flaws but it’s a perfectly fine starting point and the huge community does mean that most of the bigger design issues either already have a usermod or somebody working on cooking something up.
I really enjoyed Weird West. It mashed up immersive sim elements with Divinity-inspired isometric sandbox combat. Lots of really cool world building.
Rough around the edges in a few places and probably a little ambitious in scope for the size of their team, but overall a pretty solid and fun title for a new indie studio.
tl;dr definitely interested in seeing what they do next.
