Where to Watch New Year’s Eve Celebrations From Around the World

The image shows a vibrant fireworks display over a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In the foreground, there are houseboats and the calm waters of the canal reflecting the colorful lights of the fireworks. The background is filled with the stunning spectacle of fireworks exploding in the night sky, with the city's buildings and trees lining the canal visible amidst the bursts of light. The city lights illuminate the buildings along the canal, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere against the dark night sky.
Links to live streams for various cities around the world. Why celebrate once when you can celebrate on the hour all day long!

Not all are pointing directly at the celebrations though, e.g. Cape Town’s cam is pointing towards the mountain, and not towards the Waterfront where the fireworks are going off. So for Cape Town maybe try this one at earthtv.com/en/webcam/cape-tow… or this one further away especially for the fireworks at capetown-webcam.com/category/u….

If your webcam didn’t come with customization software, you can use OBS to reframe it

The image shows a close-up view of a small, square webcam attached to the top of a computer monitor. The webcam is white with a black circular lens. The monitor displays a blurry image in the background; it seems to be an abstract landscape of orange and brown hues, possibly a digital painting or a photograph of a desert-like environment. The foreground is dominated by the webcam and the top edge of the monitor, which is dark gray or black.
OBS is free and open source software that will provide various filters and effects you can apply to an input such as a webcam. It will generate an output stream which any app will think is a webcam.

In this way you can apply custom masks, overlays, zoom in, add a title, change colours, change scenes between multiple cameras, or share your screen, change the background, and lots more.

Deep-Live-Cam goes viral, allowing anyone to become a digital doppelgangerDeep-Live-Cam goes viral, allowing anyone to become a digital doppelganger

A webcam view of a man wearing a blue t-shirt, sitting in a room with an open door behind him and a bookcase with books. To the right stands a green cactus type plant. The man's face looks like JD Vance.
Over the past few days, a software package called Deep-Live-Cam has been going viral on social media because it can take the face of a person extracted from a single photo and apply it to a live webcam video source while following pose, lighting, and expressions performed by the person on the webcam. While the results aren’t perfect, the software shows how quickly the tech is developing—and how the capability to deceive others remotely is getting dramatically easier over time.

The results shown using a moving flashlight are quite impressive. It is quite amazing though given that this all just works with some free Python code, a normal 2D photo, and a webcam. Yes, it is certainly not perfect, but is good for a laugh with your friends.

Use DroidCam to turn your Android phone into a wireless webcam for Linux or Windows PC’s and laptops

Two windows are shown open - one on the left is titled DroidCam Client and shows a preview of some flowers standing in a glass of water, with some icons at the bottom to increase/decrease zoom, brightness, autofocus, and switching perspective and rotating the image. The rightmost window is titled Skype Options and shows the video settings selected, with the source name as DroidCam Source 1, and the same preview image is shown of the flowers in a glass of water.
This is probably most useful on desktop computers that have no webcam, but there is also an OBS Studio plugin, so an Android phone could also act as a secondary webcam when needed on those odd occasions. Also, seeing this can connect wirelessly, you could place this Android webcam further away from your PC as most desktop webcams connect via a USB cable, which can limit its reach.

The free version of DroidCam will get the job done for the most part, but keep in mind that it only allows SD-quality video streams. The higher video quality (1080p) and extra features such as Smooth FPS, video mirroring, the ability to adjust, autofocus, brightness and contrast, and more can be unlocked by purchasing DroidCam X, the paid version of the app.

Der Film Hacked zeigt was passieren kann wenn unsere Wohnungen über #IoT gesteuert werden 😱

Eine zentrale Frage bleibt allerdings unbeantwortet: Wie kann man so dämlich sein ins Badezimmer eine #Webcam einzubauen? Mir fällt kein Szenario ein wo dies sinnvoll sein könnte.

Hier zum Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTn5ow9l5UM

Dass der Hacker alles unverschlüsselt offline auf USB-Sticks speichert und nicht verschlüsselt in der Cloud scheint auch eher, einem uninformiertem Drehbuchauthor ensprungen zu sein.

Die neue Überwachungskamera von #Lupus, also eine IP #Webcam, kann wohl auch direkt auf #YouTube als Livestream betrieben werden, jetzt frage ich mich, ob die auch auf #PeerTube streamen kann.
Hab es nie mit YouTube ausprobiert, aber wundere mich, ob Peertube nen kompatiblen Endpunkt hat oder überhaupt Livestreaming unterstützt.

#LochArkaig #OspreyCam: Live #Webcam - #WoodlandTrust

What's going on here this morning? It looks like this crow (or is it a raven?) is on the #osprey #nest while one of the ospreys looks on from nearby. I guess that the interloper is looking for #grubs and #insects to feed on and is thereby serving to clean the nest of #parasites. I presume that's why its presence is being tolerated.
