  • edgetpu

    Coral issue tracker (and legacy Edge TPU API source)

    FYI the dual edge coral TPU m.2 module needs a very unique pic-e interface as they’re each brought to a single PCI-e lane but in a single interface (so it’s 2x1X PCIe lanes not a 1x2X)… subtle difference but very few m.2 e interfaces support it (read about it on the github page)

  • vgpu_unlock

    Unlock vGPU functionality for consumer grade GPUs.

    With the money I'd spare by not grabbing a separate NVR I'd also grab a Quadro P400 2GB (roughly 140 euros) for Plex transcoding and Blue Iris hardware acceleration. As far as I saw it could be split between two VMs using vGPU unlocking so I could split this between Plex and Blue Iris so both could use the same card. Since the P400 seems to be able to transcode 2 4K h265 streams to 1080p and possibly can even be unlocked, and most of the time I don't actually need that much power (actually I don't really have 4K content yet due to lack of 4K TV) so I guess half the card should also be enough, especially if I'd use direct streaming.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
