Odd one. Accessible using an app, not on browser though.

Will need an alternative if you need to port forward, but for general use you can’t fault them

UK is implementing law for age verification on nsfw content, that’s the jist of it.

Some services are choosing to simply not serve the UK rather than deal with the faff and/or the privacy concerns. lemmy.zip where I am from is one of them.

Blame lies squarely with the UK gov & Online Safety Act. It’s a shit law made to pander to the ‘think of the children’ types that are incapable of parenting, also coming with the bonus of grift and doxxing concerns by companies that move in to provide the service.

I don’t blame any site operator that chooses to simply not play. VPN goes on, normal service resumes.

Magic :)

A microphone that the product user willingly carries around all day to record their actions, conversations, and (if given access) email etc. Of course Amazon want it. It’s a privacy-busting, user metric/advertising wet dream in a wristband.

So many varieties, it would be like trying to list “stew”.

Frequently contains garlic, so go with no just to be safe. Our creature (in pfp) loves the smell and always thinks he’s getting some, bless.

What dongle exactly and have you updated the firmware on that?

I have an old conbee II & they pair up just fine. I use a blueprint to take action on the zha events they fire when buttons are pressed.

Both the mice I use are Logitech.

Marathon M705 in work. Bought in 2017 and still trucks away in my 9-5. Fantastic scroll and enough buttons for convenience. Batteries last seemingly forever.

M510 at home. Bought in 2022 and no troubles. Has done me well in the same non-competitive gaming role, but you might appreciate a few more buttons.

Both use the unifying protocol. Both are pretty cheap too.

There’s a world of difference between day 1 and the current build as well. Definitely take another look if you haven’t recently. Devs finally waking up haha.

Favourite part so far has been the lighting system & ragdolls. If you whip a car fast enough in reverse and hit a sweet spot on the swing around, you can send Z flying like baseballs.

RAID1 with 8 drives is definitely in the funsies department

B42 multiplayer can’t come quick enough…

Have you tried unstable in SP yet?

It’s not, and it’s the bloody daily heil too.

The thing is, he hasn’t been digging through the dump because the local authority won’t allow it. This story is near to me and he’ll pop up in the local rags now and again to whine about his lot in life.

This guy has spent a long time chasing after a mistake that he’s never going to be able to rectify, dragging it through the courts, and generally being a pain in the arse. The sooner he lets it go, the better for everyone - including him.

Besides the legalities and the environment concerns - it’s a spinning disk drive that has been sitting exposed in landfill for over a decade. It’s fucked.

Honestly have not bothered too much on the internal security side. Everything is in a melting pot on the same subnet, with pfsense managing what’s allowed out. At the very least, the cams and any other accessible internal devices do not run default/duplicated credentials.

Only two users on the network, and the occasional trusted guest. I don’t see the need to go further quite yet.

Hi fellow HA user in the wild.

Whatever cams you go with, most important thing is that they support a direct rtsp connection. Frigate is an excellent add-on for recording, and for object detection if you want to do that.

We have some generic IP cameras here that have local access only, and a couple of Arduino camera PCBs in printed housings.

A coral TPU is essential if you want to get into object detection on more than one camera. Can use the CPU for testing, but it’s very easy to tap it out.

Use a different service, or encrypt your data before upload & share password separately. For anything remotely private, should be doing that already.

For chaotic good, upload LLM poison to fuck with the training data.

A redlib instance is also an option. Example: https://redlib.pussthecat.org/

Hardcore, I love it.

Insane. At the core it’s no more than an extension lead with a shaped plug. Some basic brains for safety.

If I had to go that route, I’d wall it off from the main network/internet at large.
