I’ve been happy with the tp link TV-IP324PI, it’s a Poe bullet cam with a simple web interface (I don’t think it requires JS, but at any rate you just need to log in once to set a password, make sure upnp is off, and adjust camera/encoding/fps/text overlay settings to your liking). There’s also the amcrest IP5M-B1186EW-28MM, another similar Poe bullet cam with night vision that works local only. I’ve used both for several years and I think they support onvif but I had no issues using the rtmp url with zoneminder

It’s hit or miss but in my experience as long as you can find one with the same release group as the video file you have it should sync up

Nice tip, though don’t forget to share some trackers too, I’ve been stuck at 0% on a torrent someone shared as only the infohash. I’m guessing their DHT isn’t working, and despite adding trackers, without knowing what trackers any of the other seeds are using it’s just a guessing game adding open trackers blindly, or a waiting game hoping I can find peers using DHT.

I would recommend getting a separate client radio device for several reasons:

• You can position it better for reception
• Get a device with directional antenna so you can point it at the best AP
• You won’t use up 1 band of a dual-band router
• You won’t be limited in your main router firmware choice to only those that support client mode on a radio

Personally I would get a nanostation loco 5ac (non-loco is bigger and probably isnt needed) and flash openwrt on it (that will free any airmax radio from the proprietary airmax limitation), configure the 5GHz radio to client mode with the apartment wifi details, and put in the desired mac into the mac field if you need a specific mac besides the device default. Make sure the radio is set to wan zone so that forwarding works and plug the lan cable from the radio to the WAN of whatever nice router you have.

I used to carry around a nanostation with this config set to xfinity access points with a small script that would pick a random MAC from a list I gathered from wardriving client MACs that I saw authenticated with xfinity hotspots. That way if I ever needed an ethernet connection for a non-wifi device I could just power up the radio and run the script to pick a new mac until I got one that was “remembered” in someone’s xfinity account.

Edit: to clarify, I think the way I set it up was to run dhcp client on the radio’s uplink and then hand out IPs via dhcp server on the lan port, so I think you’d be triple natted, but since you would need to double nat anyway to get around the MAC authorization it probably isn’t hurting speeds any more than it already would be.

This container is great, I use it for my arrstack. If the VPN connection goes down, the container infinitely restarts until it can get a connection again.

I’m miffed that mullvad did away with recurring subscriptions, so you have to remember to refill the account if you have stuff relying on it.

I think this answer is the most accurate. People get too hung up same names on different servers. There will always be multiple versions of a community whether they have the same name on different servers or whether one of them snagged the og name and others prefixed with Real_x / True_x. Imo I like it this way better because there’s less favoritism to the one that comes first / people can’t universally squat on a community name

This is the solution. I reverse proxy from a digitalocean droplet running haproxy which sends traffic via send-proxy-v2, then I set the tunnel subnet as a trusted proxy ip range on traefik which is what haproxy hits through the tunnel, which causes traefik to substitute in the reverse proxied original ip so all my apps behind traefik see the correct public IP (very important for things like nextcloud brute force protection to work)

Hetzners risk averseness is so annoying. I tried to sign up and rent a dedi to replace my rack mount nas. Considering electric costs I was happy to pay a few hundred a month for substantial storage. Didn’t realize they didn’t accept privacy.com cards (I don’t even use them to cancel, it’s just so I can change banks and switch 1 billing link instead of 100). Account rejected and deleted and no response from support.

Swipe typing is the only thing that keeps me using google keyboard. Their implementation is the only one that works well for me. I think I used to use Swype before, that feels like forever ago

I am excited to see the community become more active as someone who periodically lurked on .ml for a few years. But also I’m much more active here because I just don’t scroll r/ anymore unless I follow a link to a specific post. I’m all in here now, I feel like it’s crossed the threshold to be sustainable and interesting to daily users even if it doesn’t immediately take over.

I also believe in free housing and transit access as a right.

Hmmm yeah this does seem to be proxying login info. Ideally it would be done like elk.zone and mastodon where it kicks you out to an oauth flow that returns with an app token you can later revoke in your account settings. But I’m guessing that doesn’t exist for lemmy yet.

On the bright side the UI looks amazing

Ever had red bean ice cream? Looks about like this, but of course the beans are more embedded in the ice cream.

That video has become required watching material / hazing ritual for new roommates. Mostly for the detailed explanation on the importance of pre-wash soap, but also for the tips on preheating the water.

The more anti-consumer shit they pull, the more of my friends I get to join my Plex server, for marginal cost since more users barely means any more used electricity.

I also used to cancel often, I would accept 30 day trials and then immediately schedule cancellation for the end (it’s really nice that they actually let you do that instead of making you wait until just before the end). They just kept offering 30 day trials so I kept doing that. Nowadays I use ebay as much as possible first, and accept 30 day trials if offered when I have to resort to Amazon. To help make up for it I always make sure to use the included twitch prime sub on a streamer I like, also surprising that prime trials include a twitch prime sub.

I think you can follow a channel and see videos as posts. Then replying to the post shows up as a federated comment. I haven’t tried it though.

Not really but sometimes if I need a visualization of something complicated that I can’t see in my head I’ll go to the network tab under insights in github

Yep, having a bunch of front page posts complaining (not trying to put it harshly) about the content just makes it look like the problem is worse to outsiders and doesn’t help perceptions. Let people talk about what they want, but vote accordingly and people will get tired of talking about reddit as less and less people engage with those posts. This post being here is causing more reddit-related engagement. Upvote the kind of content you want to see and it’ll rise up higher, becoming more visible and creating a virtuous cycle of positive engagement.

Likewise, my only time spent on reddit is to upvote reddit drama discussion. Doing so will help push people who are “just tired of the drama and want to post” to find the fediverse a more enticing place to participate in.
