I like their ColorVu night vision technology so was going to buy a bunch of these for my next home.

Same as what I have done here, I put the cameras in their own isolated VLAN with no internet and they only rule is to allow the NVR to access those cameras streams.


https://demo.scrypted.app/ is the new kid on the block. Intuitive interface, easy to configure, not free, great system.


PayPal allow easy reversal if transactions. Their dispute team favour protecting the buyer by far.


I have my dream domain. It was being squatted for a similar amount. I offered £100 and it was declined, I offered £250 and they replied to tell me the domain is easily worth the £2K, well sort after etc. I told them that this is my surname, and I’m not a corporation with unlimited funds and they can take the offer or leave it. 15 minutes later the offer was accepted. I was so happy. Still am chuffed about it.


I tried to get a squatted .UK domain through this process. Nominet are the authority for these domains. After acknowledging the request to both parties, I am then asked to pay £100 to assign a mediator. I guess this puts off frivolous requests, but it put me off going further.


I think you’re missing the point. The law needs to be specific. It describes levels of criminal activity and in this case details how the law differentiates between what the law calls “rape” and “sexual assault”.

Sure, from our perspective that girl got raped, and that’s how I would describe it. But the law doesn’t.


The logo looks like an ASCII butt.


It’s been a while since a power cut affected my services, is this why?

I remember having to troubleshoot mysql corruption following abrupt power loss, is this no longer a thing?





Wildcard SSL subjects make sense as the certificate is public. But how does wildcard DNS help? They aren’t public other than the requests coming from the client which don’t use wildcard anyway.


With 8G oom killer will kill my Firefox process.

I was evaluating Linux desktop prior to switching my work pc to Linux with an 8G VM and it wasn’t enough for just browsing and general tinkering.


Can someone explain the benefits of LXD without the opinionated crap?


My dude. Even 4K video is ~50mbps, you don’t need to worry about this as much as you do.


How is that annoying and how else would you expect that to function?

If the data is local doesn’t it still stream over http?


Windows asks for this permission when a program needs to accept unsolicited incoming network requests. Not something a browser normally requires.



I’ve been running https://demo.scrypted.app for a few months. It’s pretty slick.


I’m paying for the fact it’s popular with submitters so has the most subs available (this could change with the recent announcement, we’ll see) and an API that allows automated download of subtitles including matching of the scene file that is being played, supported by Jellyfin/Plex.

Is there another, free, as popular resource with an API? If so, please share.


True, but some scene members strip the subs from the media, although it’s getting rarer these days.

I also use Bazarr to fetch SDH subtitles which include subtitles for background sounds and the names of who is talking.

I agree that ideally subtitles should be included on all, but we don’t live in a perfect world.


My wife is deaf. So subtitles are a deal breaker for any media implementation I implement.

That is why I pay for open subtitles. I get no ads, continued access after this change and I’m helping maintain a service we use daily.




Monitoring is the key. I use Zabbix, but essentially you want to gather metrics and report on issues.

Once things are set up and working, even with 10s of VMs and applications, it’s quite reliable. The biggest things that catch you out are updates breaking functionality, updates requiring additional manual steps, running out of disk space or expired certificates.

I find I get a spurt of energy to recreate or implement a new system every few months but things just tick over in the meantime.


To take your analogy, it could be someone hosts a collection of material in your yard and invites all the pedos to use your yard to see and share other material.



There are mini pcs running atom or celeron with impressive specs and Gbit capability that use <15w


Gitlab has been offline for a while (~40 minutes at time of posting) with pretty much every service affected. 5xx errors accross the board, I expect a lot of frustrated developers right now.

People have different tolerancies for these sorts of things. I bet @plexnose is quite happy with the relatively lackluster bitrate of their audio, however others may whince at the quality and declare it unlistenable (is that a word?)

Like, I have a few years old 55" 4K HDR TV, its not OLED, but it was good at the time. However a lot of my archived content is 720p, and I really don’t mind. In fact I don’t hardly notice. Sure if I switch to a 4K Bluray, its better, but I enjoyed the 720p show just as much and it wasn’t like jarring or anything.



Control is one of my favourite games. Had he hooked from start to end. Great suggestion 💯


This is interesting, thanks for sharing


They had 10 million domains (according to the article). Even with a successful business they drop stuff. Maybe I am a fool!


Been bought by square spaces.

Squarespace announced today it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Google, whereby Squarespace will acquire the assets associated with the Google Domains business, which will be winding down following a transition period. This purchase includes approximately 10 million domains hosted on Google Domains spread across millions of customers.


I'm still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.

Good to know, I’ll check that out thanks!


I love these types of posts. From the outset they seem mundane, but they are discussion provoking and I’m able to learn of new things at the same time.

My list (Firefox) 🙃

Some of you have a LOT of addons, jeez.

Edit: Updated to use the /still/ don’t care about cookies addon. Thanks @stepan@lemmy.fmhy.ml


Holy shit. I admire the organisation and love the documentation, but holy addon, batman! thats a lot!



Exactly, only here for the comments, thats where the real content is 😜
