Those who habitually look for solutions will enovitably break away from the shackles of having problems.

@WatcherGuru It works great... was wondering why it just stopped mid build.

[vynfred @vynfred]

@shrugdeaIer @joevezz What was the cause of the leak?

[vynfred @vynfred]

@OCFireAuthority What was the initial cause of this “leak”?

Amazon Ring died on May 22, 2026.

It just doesn't know yet.

One dad in Nashville, Tennessee built a free MIT-licensed app that watches your driveway, your porch, your baby monitor, your garage.

No cloud. No subscription. No cop ever gets the footage.

32,057 stars. 3,103 forks. Pushed today.

Here is the wildest part:

You: "How much is Ring Protect Pro?"
Ring: "$19.99 a month. $199.99 a year. Per house."

You: "How much is Google Home Premium Advanced?"
Google: "$20 a month. $200 a year. Per house."

You: "What do I get?"
Both: "We store your footage in our cloud. Ring already paid the FTC $5.8 million in 2023 for letting employees and contractors watch your videos without your consent. Google just raised Nest prices again in 2025."

You: "What does Frigate cost?"
Blake Blackshear: "Nothing. It runs on the Raspberry Pi already on your shelf. The footage never leaves your house. I have a day job."

Ring sells the camera. Then sells your fear back to you, monthly, forever.

Frigate sells nothing. Because Blake isn't selling.

He's a dad with 1,267 followers who got tired of Amazon owning his front door.

100% Opensource.
100% Local.
100% Yours.

The smart camera industry made one bad assumption.

That you'd keep paying rent on a camera you already bought.

That assumption just died in Nashville.

@FBI @NewYorkFBI Cool, go after an America hero but don't go after members of congress...

[vynfred @vynfred]

@FBIDirectorKash @TheJusticeDept why don't you do this to congress members? The man has dedicated his life to this country... members of congress don't risk their life and have the same exact advantage in the stock market...

Using 1 token to say "thank you" to Claude is like tipping your bartender for water.

[vynfred @vynfred]
