It might be your ISP trying to block it. I’m surprised they’re not using HSTS to force HTTPS.

wait for a Steam sale.

Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.

It wasn’t a dox attempt though. The blog just collected information that was already publicly available on other sites.

In this case, their CAPTCHA page intentionally included code to DoS a particular blog, sending a request to search for a random string every 300ms (search is very CPU-intensive). This was regardless of the archived site you were trying to view.

This is understandable, but at the same time, none of the anti-paywall lists are as good as archive.today. They actually have paid accounts at a bunch of paywalled sites, and use them when scraping.

Why not use a provider like AirVPN that lets you use the same port number all the time?

Discord doesn’t get as many clicks compared to the larger companies, since fewer people know about it. For articles like this, news publishers always list the most well-known brands.

I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.

I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.

How does this differ from every other distribution method, though? You can just as easily do something malicious with an Appimage or Debian/rpm package.

If you want to share something with just some people, they can create a Tailscale account and you can share it with them that way.

For public access, accessing it using a domain that uses your public IP should work. Most routers let you do that (“hairpin NAT”). Although to be honest, most of my public facing things are on a VPS rather than on my home server. More reliable and a higher quality internet connection for a fairly cheap price per month.

third party cameras won’t support detection unless you also add a Unifi AI Port.

Does Unifi not support ONVIF events? Seems like a pretty major missing feature if so. I guess they really do want to lock you into their ecosystem.

Are there security issues specific to Flatpak? I would have thought it’d be more secure than Appimage, since it’s sandboxed.

They already said they’re using Tailscale, so this isn’t needed. They can just use the Tailscale IP everywhere. On LAN it’ll connect over the LAN, and away from home it’ll connect over the internet. It comes with a .ts.net subdomains too.

Use Unraid’s native Tailscale support. Add each Docker container to the Tailnet. You don’t need split horizon DNS when using Tailscale, as the Tailscale IPs will work both on and off your LAN, as long as you’re connected to Tailscale. Don’t use a subnet router. Tailscale is peer-to-peer, so it’s still going to connect directly over your LAN when possible (it won’t route out to the internet then back)

For TLS, you could use the Tailscale built-in .ts.net subdomains. Should work out-of-the-box. Otherwise, to use your own domain, f you can’t get access to Namecheap’s API you could run acme-dns instead.

Looks like an interesting project!

Could you please consider publishing it to Flathub?

On Android, I use ytdlnis, which is a wrapper around yt-dlp. You can “share” a video from to YouTube app to ytdlnis and it’ll add it to the download queue.

How long do you want to store footage for? With 6 cameras at 8Mbps each, you’d get less than two days of video on a 1TB drive. You could drop the bitrate quite a bit if you use H265 instead of H264, but it’s still not a huge amount of storage.

Several manufacturers have sites to determine how much storage you’d need based on number of cameras, bit rate and how long you want to store the videos for. Just use any of those to get a rough estimate. Personally I’d recommend a 10TB or larger WD Purple Pro, since it has 512MB cache instead of 256MB.

For the doorbell, I’d use a proper doorbell cam that can use the existing wires for power. Reolink’s wifi one comes with an adapter to use it with existing wiring.

The Unifi cameras don’t support ONVIF, so you’re essentially locked into their ecosystem, and it’d be difficult to use them with a different NVR if you ever want to switch. Maybe that’s OK for your use case though.

Nothing wrong with a GUI. There’s a reason they exist and have mostly replaced TUIs, with the exception of some developer / power user tools. It’s significantly easier to discover features in a GUI compared to a CLI or TUI for example. The UX can be far richer.

CLI tools are easier to make due to the simplified UX, but I’m hoping that something we see as a result of increased AI usage is that programs that should be GUI apps are actually built as such, rather than complex CLI or TUI ones.

Wow I haven’t heard that name for a long time… The last time I used it, I was using the horrible AMD/ATI fglrx drivers, and Compiz had been forked into a project called Beryl. Looks like that was around 2006 or 2007.
