I love apt more than I love cinnamon, now scram!

I love cinnamon, now you kids get off my lawn

dhcpcd overwrites is. I only have one static address, but DHCP does other stuff too it seems

These are server VMs. I gave up and did chattr +i and it does what I tell it to now.

Part of it the thrill of the hunt. I’ve caught some great deals over the years stalking marketplace.

Got .iso storage after chia crashed
Got a 3090 after Bitcoin asics took over
Got a 5900x when the X3D parts came out

But I’ve never seen decent RAM for sale, only single sticks or slow kits.

That’s what I like about the hiks I have. They are configurable from the web browser. Some of my amcrest I had to bang an API over curl to keep the time zone set

My amcrest cameras have been good, but hikvision has been even better. They’re sneaky though so make sure they’re on an isolated vlan.

That would make the husk of the company truly worthless, and I’m not sure private equity will allow that.

~/copypasta/gunfortheprinter.odt but it’s a JTAG header for the vacuum

Probably every 2 months. When I have a day off work with nothing to do. I have a few VMs that are more fragile than I want to admit and if something breaks I want to have time to tinker instead of just restoring a backup.

Are you dual booting windows by chance?

Maybe check if there is newer firmware available for the chip set.

It’s worth stepping back to through the “latest” 6.11 hwe and 6.8 hwe kernels to see if it improves.

That’s too modern 🤣

My Lenovo t14 amd 360 misbehaves on 6.11, but is great on 6.8

I manually grab what I want from mam

Some reolink cameras (B800 for sure) scramble the encoding to lock them to reolink NVRs. I used two of them with frigate by running neolink because fuck vendor lock in

I had problems with the 0.6.x series but 0.5.18 ran well enough. I abandoned those cams because they would occasionally switch to sending static to frigate and locking it down.

There is a dlna server but it has “totally unintentional” memory leaks that cause it to crash after a few days and they refuse to fix.

I built this system for my mother with an old business pc running frigate. I used an old wifi router with ap mode available in the firmware that is only for the cameras. It’s a simple way to make sure the cameras won’t have internet access without relying on whatever router they may have. I added a second Ethernet port to the business PC because I had the parts, but for one or two cams you could theoretically do all over wifi. Install wireguard so you can manage it remotely. Then decide if you want to bother forwarding the ports and getting a domain setup, or if local only viewing is good enough.

For cameras, I used these amcrest ASH22-W which are good enough for the price. 1080p for $33

One thing to remember with these cameras- mounting them high gives you a bigger field of view, wipes out any possibilities of identification. The frigate models also don’t do as well. Doorbell cameras are better for that.

I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.

My modem is plugged into that.

I’ve never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn’t fucking with it and did something stupid ill-advised, so I don’t try that kind of stuff unless I’m home.
