This is a lil raspi i made that has a camera and automatically takes a picture every day at noon. It's recording my garden yard! I'm delighted by it. In theory it should also automatically compile it into a timelapse. Baby steps for now though. Here's the log of all the shit i've done so far.
finally realized i never did `systemctl enable telescopium.timer --now` so the timer never started which is why my daily task hasn't been running. remedied.
telescopium physical has been installed in its place in the rear window. also i made it so that it prints its current ip address in the webpage.
gonna try and make it so it converts the latest month of images into a gif, at a rate of one week per second? hopefully just using imagemagick.
update: i am deep in the bowels of imagemagick and ffmpeg trying in vain to get this to work
fixed the unrelated issue where it was taking a picture every time the system rebooted. it's because i had the telescopium service enabled in addition to the timer; i disabled the service and made sure only the timer was enabled
for some reason it crashes most of the times you try to do a particularly intensive operation such as "compile 15 images into a timelapse with ffmpeg" or, like, fuckin', "resize an image". i don't know what's up. major thorn in the side of my agenda to make it automatically resize images
