Now explain why some people are “down for things” while others are “up for it”
This, as well as the fediverse’s double edged feature that stuff pretty much can never be deleted (only “requested”).
This sounds like a privacy nightmare
Are you a beaver? 'Cos DAM
In terms of raw data, any properly calibrated equipment should be identical.
You could build one yourself or have a look at how to get readings from your actual electricity meter. Both can be found on the open energy monitor project page. If you self build i guess you could use a lower value CT that amplifies lower currents and just not use it at higher loads?
Mains power fluctuates a LOT though so youll definitely need averaging to some extent
Having to wind back a cassette or vcr with a paperclip or spoon if the strip got tangled, or even just having to wait for the player to forward/rewind
Alovoa is free and opensource. Never used it though
Theres so much to unpack…! But ill try and throw something in the mix.
I dont know if freenas/ truenas supports a lot of addons or whatever they call it but the moment you mentioned media and games my thought went to proxmox, though i suppose you might also be able to get away with a bunch of docker containers.
Soo… proxmox (or any hypervisor) will allow you to run multiple segregated VMs and containers.
On one vm you can install freenas/ truenas (whichever the good one is atm, im a little out of touch) and allocate the bulk storage drives to it.
Another vm for Plex/jellyfin
Another for minecraft, factorio, tf2
Another for nextcloud/ webserver
Nextcloud provides webdav/ caldav for calendar and contact syncing so sorted there. It also has a collabora app i think for collaborative document working.
In terms of security, you want to follow nextclouds secure configuration guide as a start.
The best way is to use a vpn to access your home network. Maybe give the others access if you trust them but you may then need to do some vlanning and segregation to protect the rest of your home network from them.
If you must expose to the net (which you may do with the games servers) then again, the config guide has you covered, use crowdsec, use https, use random ports, use strong passwords and mfa.
Do regular backups. 3 copies, 2 separate storage mediums, 1 offsite (3-2-1 rule).
Idk about the 8tb drive.
The above isnt the be all end all. Let it be the start of a discussion and your research journey
I second this. I use cospend on nextcloud with the moneybuster android app
Caterpillar > Cocoon > Butterfly / Moth
Wait…
Amazing! Congrats :)
For the dynamic ip address that you can get a free domain name from afraid or noip or maybe others and point your vpn to your domain name instead of direct ip address. Following that you can run cron job scripts to ensure the ip address that the domain points to is up to date
MediaMTX can sort a lot of this for you. Then its just a matter of accessing your feed on vlc.
VPN is the safer option of accessing your network
Personally, I use this as a camera proxy bit it can record. I use zoneminder otherwise
Assuming you have a separate number for work:
Download shelter or island and create a work profile on your android device
Use your normal profile (and one instance of signal with personal number) for personal stuff
Use the work profile (second signal instance, work number) and separate contacts list for work
Link the work number/ signal to pc
Yeah, i faced the same challenge. I understand why they do it like that (cameras potentially mixing socs)…
I think there are some make/ models on their project but its far and few. Ive flashed 1 camera so far but had to check the soc myself
I need to crack open my (cheap chinese) cameras and check them at some point. Ive noticed them pinging my pihole for secu100 for cloud services. At least theyre blocked for internet access!
Many selfhosted NVRs have been suggested. Personally ive tried:
iSpy
Frigate
Zoneminder
Shinobi
Ended up settling on zoneminder at this stage.
For cameras themselves i just want to point out the OpenIPC project - opensource firmware if youre technically inclined
Edit: I’m hesitant to recomment OpenIPC now since the main streamer is closed source. Thingino is fully open and developed by some of the devs who didn’t agree with the closed source portion
What ir led and resistor value did you use?
Someone might suggest something more elegant but one solution is a trunk port, maybe on your router, maybe a downstream switch (assuming wireless Ap is downstream of all of those) and connect that to wireguard on your server?
Why you decided to ask this question whilst hypothetically in the shower, im not sure i want to know
