I would enjoy this. Im barely 1/8 British but my other ancestors colonised large parts of north england so I think of them as our weird long lost relatives.

Hallo!!

Oisteink ,

Most are not sending video to the manufacturers servers. More likely some milestone server here and there + cloud.

Most of them do have ML accelerators to do “AI” on the edge.

We use cameras from many suppliers at work, at least 3 that are chayna based. We do log their connetions, and see very little data ourside of fw/app update checks. Might be some sinister stuff happening but its not very wide-spread.

Maybe consumer stuff is different.

Edit: also consider bamdwidth. This is the reason most places record to local NAS or server. Our ipvpn woukd be filled if we was to centralize this

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....

Lol

All reverse proxies i have used do rudimentary DDoS protection: rate limiting. Enough to keep your local script kiddy at bay - but not advanced stuff.

You can protect your ssh instance with rate limiting too but you'll likely do this in the firewall and not the proxy.

Oisteink ,

A reverse proxy is used to expose services that don't run on exposed hosts.
It does not add security but it keeps you from adding attack vectors.

They usually provide load balancing too, also not a security feature.

Edit: in other words what he’s saying is true and equal to “raid isn't baclup”

You should try moving the OneDrive folder after setup for a complete shitshow. Even Microsoft products fail to read and write to the right places. If I save from word to my documents folder it never appears in OneDrive but in a separate documents folder under my user profile.
Luckily OneDrive hides this from normal explorer so you can’t find that file using that

Oisteink ,

No - ssh is very easy to secure, while an exposed web-service is very hard to secure.
Theres no difference in the security of ssh without password and for example WireGuard.

Stick to strong keys and keep it on 22 for ease of use

Shower thoughts are wasting water.

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it...

Oisteink ,

But now you can feel responsible and morally superior to the silly water-wasters

Firefox 127's private window handling angers users ( www.theregister.com )

There used to be an option called browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, which ever since Firefox 106 back in October 2022 resulted in separate taskbar icons for normal and private Firefox windows. In version 127, this option has gone away, removed in this code change. Users complained on Mozilla's forums and on Reddit at the...

Oisteink ,

Yes - this is why my dad (80) and my nephew (23) stopped using Firefox . It’s the only reason anyone use Firefox and without it nobody will use it.

Oisteink ,

Sorry - my bad. Turns out it’s just 1 guy on the forums and theregister that cares.

Oisteink ,

Edge! It’s Firefox but with ai

Oisteink ,

Great paywall link you got there

Oisteink ,

Google fu is broken.

Now might actually be a good time to launch a new search engine, as both bing and google refuse to give good results. Bing might have some - idk - can’t look at the pages for very long because layout was made by hitler

Oisteink ,

I still dont understand broadcom’s move except for short term profits.
All the kids used to use it, and now they’re on proxmox.

I work in public sector and we’re transitioning away from VMware now, as the people we recruit know proxmox and not VMware.

Just like adobe lets the kids get away with pirating - as that builds following - VMware was giving away single-seat.

Oisteink ,

They are - and they’re e-ink based so power lasts a long time. I’ve not been to a store that don’t have them in many years.

They’re great - always showing the correct price/ amount, and it’s less hassle for the store to change.

As long as you have a free market and not a coordinated one it will work out great for you guys too

Oisteink ,

Aren’t they already in use by some stores? M

Maybe most of this is just circus to keep you worried?

The thing I don’t like about them is the BT tracking/detection. Not seen any system with the capability to track individuals, but it will show heat maps of where people spend time and clump up. This comes “free” as it’s usually zigbee or similar radios that are used, and these support BT

It sounds kinda illegal. Can Coca-cola stop me from going to Denmark to buy for danish prices and claim I have to pay Norwegian prices?

It’s directly comparable to buying danish subscription and using the service from a danish exit. If my data originates in china and are vpn-ed to Denmark they have the same cost on providing me service as anyone else in Denmark

Edit: I’ve never been to China, but it’s like really far away from Denmark.

Oisteink ,

I’m still not sure your car thing would match here - unless they refuse to sell you a car that you only use in the USA.
I’m guessing these stores are brand owned? Why else would you refuse a sale - even if it’s useless to the buyer

I could see rights come into play - but they usually regulate within the nation.

I would think this is connected to name/address/payment not matching the country you claim to live in. If it’s VPN detection then a WiFi router doing the VPN would work fine.

Oisteink ,

Yeh - but it does not include efta

Oisteink ,

Yeah - as moderation don’t work here only option is to block posters

Never buy .xyz

I just wanted to post this here because I want to help you all and hurt gen.xyz as much as possible. I had a .xyz domain through njal.la which I used to host jellyfin, homeassistant, and other basic things for friends and family. My domain recently became inaccessible without any notice. After a while of troubleshooting, I found...

Oisteink ,

That’s the main difference between lemmy and early reddit. Reddit had good info from knowledgeable people, and moderation. Here it seems most are 8 years old with 0 knowledge talking shite. Voting to “prove their point”. Like downvoting your reply.

Oisteink ,

I don’t care about internetpoints, and I’ve given up hopes for lemmy as a platform. There's too many subs compared to people, so people are smeared too thin out.

Reddit had soul back then. It was fresh, new, different. Lemmy is just a bleak copy of Reddit, missing quality content and people.

Oisteink ,

Lol

Oisteink ,

How many FOSS Linux firewalls are there?
Let’s see, we have iptables and there’s nftables.

Oisteink ,

And if he gets what he wants you’ll just never return from the woods?
The dude that reasons that presidents can kill opposition- literally

Oisteink ,

Right - so that is a photo of an AA battery and a drawing of an A battery.

So if I take a photo of a gorilla and draw Sasquatch next to it I have proof of Sasquatch! This is good info to me.
