@jack_daniel He wrote the best guide to how to handle corruption that I’ve ever read. It should be required reading for anyone travelling somewhere they’re likely to encounter petty bribery.

The genius of it is how he explains the world view that you have to operate inside, as well as the ways to navigate it. From paying bribes to pulling out fake journalist credentials, to deescalating situations and handling egos and reputations. How to give face and keep things from getting out of hand.

Truly amazing. I don’t know if he wrote anything else that was any good, but this was excellent.

As all of my close friends know, I have not always been a teetotalling, drug fighting citizen.  Prior to 1983 I was a synthesis of corporate manager and

@tqbf 90125 (and "Owner") was written mostly by Trevor Rabin, who was new to the band. That, plus a significant use of new synth technology, gave it a really different sound than previous Yes lineups.
@Viss The warning tells you that you can now remove it from configuration.yaml since it's been imported into the GUI.
@Viss The Generic Camera integration isn't going away, only configuring it via configuration.yaml is. You can do the same thing via the GUI. :)
@Viss Check the link for Generic camera, it supports digest auth.

@Viss I've used the Generic Camera integration (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic/)

So in this case it would be something like this, and you'd put your extra parameter in the still_image_url.

camera:
- platform: generic
name: Driveway
still_image_url: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?stream=0&username=12345&password=12345
stream_source: rtsp://192.168.1.1/h264?username=12345&password=12345
username: 12345
password: 12345
verify_ssl: false
framerate: 1

@Viss Can't you specify the still_image_url that includes that parameter in your config?

@raineer @Viss @jerry Realistically, you don't need a support contract if your in-house staff knows how to keep it running. If that thing breaks irreparably, or your SME leaves, then you can let that broken thing go if it wasn't really that important to you.

But if that thing is really important to your business AND you don't have someone in-house that can fix it or support it, then you really want that support contract. Of course, you can also try to find an hourly consultant to fix it.. probably for more than the cost of a support contract.
