Generating RTSP stream from USB Webcam

Hey everyone!

So I have a chicken coop and wanted to be able to see the inside of it to make sure predators don't get in at night, etc.

I installed my Pi3 and this webcam into the coop -

I am currently using Motion with motion detection turned off to get a simple stream of jpgs. Its not great.

I have a number of security cameras that I capture video from using ffmpeg to save their RTSP stream. Ideally I would like to run an RTSP server on the Pi and interact with its stream in the same way (I also look at them via HomeAssistant).

I've been beating my head against the wall with MediaMTX / ffmpeg (and its current lack of ffserver) for a bit now. Is there a smarter way to do this?

Is Lemmy.World going to do anything about community squatting?

A good example is https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries

One of their mods, https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah, currently mods 54 communites despite only being on Lemmy for about a month and has never posted on c/documentaries (except for his post asking for people to join his mod team).

The other mod, https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort, has one post to c/documentaries and moderates 18 communities.

Does Lemmy.World have a plan to remove this kind of cancer before we start getting reddit supermods here too?

Edit: This comment shows how this is even more dangerous than I had thought.

Edit2: Official answer from LW admin is here

Final: Was going to create an issue for this on the Lemmy github, but I browsed for awhile and found that it had already been done. If anyone wants to continue the discussion there, here it is - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

Perhap we need another issue for the problem in the original edit (It being impossible currently to remove a 'founding' mod without destroying either the community of their account)

The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) [1:40:00]

Penelope Spheeris' The Decline Of Western Civilization is a riveting, unflinching and hard-core film which adeptly captures the spirit of a major cultural phenomenon. Including performances by X, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Catholic Discipline, Germs and Alice Bag Band. Breaking down barriers of expression and social mores, the Decline punks were against everything: They gave birth to an anti-establishment view of the world that permeates today's music, politics, social attitudes, styles and trends. The film documents their deliberate reaction to the mass commercialism of music; it is a blatant and angry rejection of the mainstream. Burgeoning at the time, many of the punk bands first seen here have become legendary. The effect of the film on current day music, styles and trends is immeasurable.
