I guess that’s possible? But when I’m at my desk sometimes my computer isn’t even on. When I work I only use my laptop so my desktop is usually off. I work with my laptop in multiple spots in the house.

If it was a problem with my laptop I woukd imagine he’d bother me in other spots around the house as well.

I understand though that just because a computer is off does not necessarily mean it’s quiet. The peripherals could still be receiving power, etc. I would be difficult to test this theory though without a lot of effort. I guess ai coulf unplug everything.

Since posting this I started to think more about what was actually happening.

So basically he only acts strange when I sit in a particular spot in the hoose.

I ruled out all of the basic needs so unless it’s something medical it doesn’t seem to be related to a need.

Thus I have to consider the area itself. I think he simply doesn’t want me to be there.

I then considered why. What type of activities did I engage in when I sat at my desk?

One of the activities that I only engage in at my desk is attend work meetings.

I wonder if that is the cause. He doesn’t like it when he hears the voices of strangers. Furthermore I’ve observed him getting annoyed whenever I’m on the phone with anyone, even off loud speaker.

This is my best theory so far.

The way he bites/tries to bite me definitely looks more like an “I am annoyed bite”.

If I play with him, he just comes back once we are done. Basically all of the tests I’ve conducted seem to suggest that’s not the reason he keeps coming back.

We also have an insane amount of scratching posts. Something like 3 per area of the hoose. Then the cat trees alao have scratching areas. They get use too. Basically every need I can think of has been met.

I have some theories that I will comment on the main post.

We have an insane amount of scratching posts. There’s like an average of 3 per area of the house. 80% of them get used too.

I have started to use the opportunity of him coming to me to groom him.

True.

Yeah I get that but it does not explain his scratching behavior :/.

Anyways I think it rules out that he was looking for pets.

I have unattended upgrades configured

I ssh into it twice a year to perform updates but otherwise i leave it alone. Server’s been chugging along for like a decade now.

Reminds me of when we first brought Sencha home

That I don’t know.

I flashed 3 Wyze cam 3s in like 15 minutes. I have 2 of them running 24/7 at the moment. They’ve been running for about a year now I think?

Reliability is generally good, I think I had to restart one of them once. One minor issue I found was it sometimes sucks at detecting low light. Not sure if its just an issue on the wyze cam.

Basically it will be pitch black and randomly decide to switch from night vision to non-night vision making the feed unusable for a bit.

No problem. I forget that imgur isn’t accessible in some countries.

Sorry I’ve been using imgur since sometimes Lemmy rejects my uploads for some reason. Let me see if I can upload to Lemmy directly.

Kind of. A lot of my stuff is also on battery and the security camera and router is on UPS so during a power outrage I still have access to cameras, per room sensors and all the door and lock sensors. I would say ~50% of devices are still accessible.

Hook it up to a UPS and it basically has 100% uptime regardless of internet connectivity or power. I love how resilient it is.

Clearly your cat was just trying to find the treats you hid in the bread /s

I have two cats. One is the top image and the other is the bottom image.

It’s their primordial pouch!

Maybe but the process is really annoying. I have to backup my 4tb library, make the switch, if it doesnt work I have to revert.

I don’t have a spare 6tb drive either so i would need to buy one.

Besides, i already have a plex lifetime membership so most of the new changes do not affect me.

I could just risk it and do the upgrade raw, but I would be pretty upset if I lost my data due to the switch.
