Looking for recommendations for homebrew security system cameras

A friend of mine is helping me with setting up a Linux-based homebrew security system set up. He’s currently using Wyze cameras, but they are faulty and have ads on them, so I’d like to find something more open-source/closed system that I can control completely. Any recommendations or pointers in the right direction would be...

IEEE standard is 100m

I’ve h6ave very long runs before and they worked.

But you need solid copper wire for that to work. No stranded or CCA

I’m playing thronefall.

Difficult but super fun. Only made it past level 3. A bit too preoccupied to play further.

Also playing on a steam deck!

I wanted a sound bar, and got some affordable ones.

Then I went into budget audiophile.

Got a cheap Sony receiver and 2 bookshelf speakers. Got the whole gig for $175 total. Beats any kind of sound bar.

Did a Sonos test in store and really could hear much difference despite being much cheaper and completely offline.

Now my wife is telling me to go Sonos because it looks better with her aesthetics.

Told her I’m not getting anything that requires an account software to run. Guess we’re going to stick with bookshelves for a while

Oh boy, German internet prices would like a word.

All jokes aside, it’s gotten way better the past few years.

But I’m still paying for texts. Imagine that.

I often skip first gens hence why I got a 12th gen and then upgraded it to a 7040 series. Super happy with the battery life and performance.

randombullet,

If you build it, they will come.

We’ve built a little urban utopia for our pollinator friends. The little guys just started popping up when the flowers started blooming.

randombullet,

Maybe liveboot it and do a smart test on the drive?

I’m a fan of nextdns

Thoughts on Guard.io as a service for lesser tech savvy family members?

Hi there, So just watched latest video of Jim Browning and in the video he had a sponsor I had not heard about before, Guard.io. So I went to check it out, and it seems like a fairly decent service (by that I mean, a service I would put on family members devices) for helping against possible phishing attempt and general...

randombullet,

Just use NextDNS and PiHole/AdGuardHome and redirect all port 53 requests to your local DNS instance.

DoT and DoH will mitigate some phishing risks.

Social engineering is the biggest threat, especially through vishing.

randombullet,

You can put them in another bucket with custom rules.

randombullet,

I pay for NextDNS. It’s under new profiles on the top left.

Find a trusted friend

Put a server with them

Encrypt en route and at rest.

Personal stuff on personal devices.

Company stuff on company devices.

Never mix. I don’t even check my personal email on my work laptop.

If I need access to my home, it’s through an external connection like LTE.

randombullet,

I think that with 802.1X you can’t do that unless you export the keys somehow.

randombullet,

Pfft if you’re a pro hacker you would already know where I live and my mother’s maiden name.
