And found this! The fluxengine https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine
An open source project using a small controller board. “Flashing” some software on the board and soldering a pinheader was easy. When connecting a flat cable and a floppy drive, you end up with a device which can read many formats. Including dos 1.44/720 and amiga.
Nice package it came in
Using the power from a sata/ide harddisk adaptor
Reading and writing a MSDOS disk, no problem. Imaging an amiga disk .. easy!
You need to compile some software, but it was well documented
For a while i’ve been using the wireless shelly button for all kinds of notifications. Most of the time i like to use it as a kind of alarm/need-help-now button.
The f*ckin’ awesome button i’m talking about (pictured above) is a small (45x45mm 16mm height) button, which can connect to your wifi and send MQTT messages. It even has a strap thingy to attach it to your keychain,
Four types of messages:
short press
2x short presses
3x short presses
and long press
When using pushover, you can push alarm and messages to your android (even overriding mute/silent if you configure it that way!)

I have several ip cameras which monitor movement in and around our home.
I’m using Zoneminder and other home automation systems but i want to scan through a bunch of files uploaded by the security cameras to my secondary fileserver.
So what is interesting?
Major movement compared to a base image
Movement compared to a previous uploaded image
Setting a threshold when to output information (note the 65% mark)
Looking at the output we see: At 76% of the captured images (image 1438) the threshold was above 3000 and the minus gives us the information of the difference between this image and the previous, the X marks the difference between current image and the baseline. | percent | image number | filename | difference | graphbar
Bash script:
#!/bin/bash
threshold=3000
baseline=$( ls SDAlarm*jpg | head -1)
previous=$( ls SDAlarm*jpg | head -1)
total=$( ls *.jpg |wc -l)
echo "Number of files : $total"
nr=1
ls *jpg | while read; do
graph="....................................................................................................."
diff=$(compare -verbose -metric MAE $baseline $REPLY /dev/null 2>&1 | grep all | awk '{ print $2 }' | cut -f1 -d. )
prevdiff=$(compare -verbose -metric MAE $previous $REPLY /dev/null 2>&1 | grep all | awk '{ print $2 }' | cut -f1 -d. )
line=$( echo "100 / $total * $nr" | bc -l | cut -f1 -d.)
line=$(( $line + 1))
#echo -n "$line | $nr | $REPLY | "
#echo $diff
draw1=$(( $diff / 100 + 1))
draw2=$(( $prevdiff / 100 + 1))
graph=$(echo $graph | sed "s/./X/$draw1")
graph=$(echo $graph | sed "s/./-/$draw2")
if [ $diff -gt $threshold ] ; then
printf "| %4s %% | %3s | %30s | %5s | %102s \n" $line $nr $REPLY $diff $graph
fi
nr=$(( $nr +1 ))
previous=$REPLY
done
Want to see only difference with previous image?
change:
if [ $diff -gt $threshold ] ; then into if [ $prevdiff -gt $threshold ] ; then
"If something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing."
