Wow that’s an awesome project! Thanks for sharing, now I can get a camera that’s inexpensive, has everything I want and doesn’t require malware to be installed on my phone/network!

i “fixed” the problem of those fucking bots by blocking everyone except my country

LOL if 4gb of memory is pretty minimal I am curious to know that they think to be resource intensive.

The maximum memory I am willing to allocate to a lxc container dedicated to bookmark management (=something that I access twice a month) is 256mb

This is an ad, so the computer pictured is not fictional, but it’s the HP Mediasmart ex470 (I think this joke book was even bundled with the first units)

They used really shitty processors so it’s ewaste, maybe it can be acquired for cheap and repurposed with some mini itx board

I think it depends by the manufacturer and how they programmed the charger, I got two HP ProBook that almost exclusively got used when plugged in and after a decade they can still last over two hours, instead my Thinkpad t42 with the same usage pattern now just barely holds enough for shutting down the system

if you need to buy it, for that budget i’d choose something like an used Lenovo m910q tiny that banks and offices are throwing to the landfill because Microsoft said that everyone needs to buy a new PC. Half the price, similar power consumption (in idle, otherwise much more), much more powerful, comes with nvme and sata slots, hdmi and usb 3

This is the one with mercury switches, right? Perfect for a kid’s game in the living room

1993 and they didn’t update the song for Czechoslovakia?

Italian here: one Saturday I start to get lots of downtime notifications

I don’t understand what’s happening, because they come and go, I get hundreds of them

I connect to the server, waste four hours, everything looks ok but pages don’t load? Weird?

I go to sleep without solving the problem

The morning everything looks fine, so I can go to my self hosted news reader and I discover in my feeds that the FUCKING soccer league blocked cloudflare “accidentally”

The best part of our system is that if the block isn’t disputed within a week, then the IP address is permanently banned. Can it be more stupid than that? Do they really think that pirates won’t change their ip address?

We gave the keys of our internet to two litigious copyright trolls

And this exclusively harms honest people because pirates just use a VPN. I saw pirate websites that when accessed from an Italian IP address have some legitimate content, need to access from a VPN. So the block is completely useless

you can install dockge in truenas and then all your docker data is not “locked” inside their application data

my HBA takes 20W at idle

Did I understand right that you are forced to side load an APK and create an account to use the camera paid with real money?

what groups?

scale, they got rid of the kvm emulator in the last release and i was devastated to see all my VM gone. The “migration” consists in you migrate the disk image to the new directory, then you make a new VM… IF you knew that BEFORE the update and took note of all the settings because the old VM menu is gone!

but also it’s clear than core is on life support

Exactly, for example I missed the note that updating truenas to the latest version disables and hides all the virtual machines (theoretically they can get migrated to the new engine but it gave me some weird error. Luckily truenas can be downgraded easily.)

Now, 3 months after the First release of the update, those virtual machines aren’t disabled and hidden anymore

And the bribe is so cheap compared to what the company would had to pay

Examples:

Boeing, just needed to donate $1 mil and let the CEO travel with an idiot to help the Qatari royal family dump their white elephant that was actually a money pit

Nvidia, just needed to book a $1 mil dinner at mar a Lago to lift their export ban and start printing billions

All the crypto bros,

And so on

It’s basically a no-brainer move, a 1000x return on investment

Old free images won’t be removed but since they won’t get any kind of update, are essentially useless

And this is because it works. Horny men see the minuscule thumbnail: “OMG it’s a hot woman!”, then click it, see the link in the profile, and get scammed.

At least not as bad as that one that let some LLM to control the server then get pissed at it when it deleted the production database https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/replit_saastr_vibe_coding_incident/
