Hell yeah now Linux and I both will panic in style

Everything reminds me of her…

Note to future self: suggest this for consideration at book club

Things we’re never gonna do:

• give you up
• let you down
• run around and desert you
• make you cry
• say goodbye
• tell a lie and hurt you

Bon voyage!

I use Amcrest, mostly because the guy who makes frigate recommended them, and has affiliate links on his site. As a software developer myself, I have to say frigate (and HA) are two jewels of open source software and so I’m happy to support them however I can.

That being said, the cameras work well and are easy to integrate with both frigate and HA. They all try to phone home at first, but stop if you tell them to (I’ve confirmed this by monitoring the traffic on my dns servers).

I couldn’t find a privacy friendly wifi camera with a big enough battery to run continuously, so I ended up building my own with a solar panel, an inverter, and a 9ah lithium battery that sits on a fence post at the end of my driveway. It was a fun project, but I wish I could buy it.

Another small gripe is that the PTZ cameras from Amcrest all seem to be crazy expensive or have mixed reviews, so I’ve just held off on those for now.

Yeah, what the hell? I didn’t watch the video but one time use pads are crypto 101 first day of class kinda thing.

Why is BREKING misspelled in the news ticker in the last panel?

Hilarious comic tho…

Here’s what you do: go to the store and buy 3-5 dandruff shampoos with different active ingredients and cycle between them every time you wash your hair and face (don’t shy away from smearing the shampoo on your face as well). Also, leave it on there a few minutes before rinsing.

Also vitamin D oil is great for face and beard.

This shampoo is great to add into the rotation. The same company makes a face cream that is super good, too.

Also the employees! Your employer and you split your taxes. If the company didn’t have to pay ~15%, they could theoretically increase your salary by that much. They wouldn’t, but they could.

More or less, yes, but they only work in specific, emulated test environments unless you play Apple’s game and get them verified and signed and eventually in the App Store. The latest EU/GDPR stuff might change this a bit, though.

Putin would never ban X in Russia, are you crazy?

Hey I’ve got that keyboard. I like it. Give that snoot a boop for me.

Even though I rarely shopped there, it was a nice Classic Austin ® vibe to have the ole ToyJoy there on Guadalupe. Ohh well… nothing is forever.

Yeah, I’d assumed it would respect the —metric=false flag when building with docker run, but docker-compose is ostensibly supported and easier to work with. I was able to successfully change other configuration options (such as setting the db to use MySQL instead of the default SQLite) using the docker-compose ‘command’ block, but the metric flag specifically was ignored. It’s entirely possible that this is a bug and not an intentional attempt to hoover up user data. Either way, data collection should be opt-in by default (by law, imo).

All depends on what you collect, how it’s stored, how transparent you are about it, and how easy it is to opt out of. It can definitely be done well.

I thought I’d give this a shot, but the metrics/data collection flag was turned on by default and when I added a command to my docker-compose to turn them off, it was ignored. Then, I created an account and looked for a way to turn them off in the settings and there was none. You expect people interested in self-hosting OSS to be cool with sending data out of their network every time the server is started, a memo is created, a comment is created, a webhook is dispatched, a resource or a user is created?! Also, the metrics are collected by a 3rd party with their own ToS that could change at any time?

Holy hell, hard pass. I’d rather use a piece of paper.

Your mileage may vary but by credit union frequently sends me life insurance mailers, and until I asked them to disable it, would INFURIATINGLY embed clickable ads in my online checking activity history. They’d probably stop with the mailers if I yelled at them, tho. Overall I agree with your advice to use credit unions over banks.
