I actually just set something like this up using sentryshot and a random IP camera my dad had laying around. The docs are kinda sparse but it was simple enough to get the camera set up. It supports motion and object detection in software and I think you can set it to just record on one of those events but I haven’t messed with that at all.

Edit: for remote access I’d recommend either wireguard or tailscale. I use plain wireguard without having a static IP and haven’t had it break yet but your mileage may vary.

How do you manage your home server configuration

Poorly, which is to say that I just let borgmatic back up all my compose files and hope for the best

I tend to use the names of angels for my personal devices (which surprisingly was inspired by this and not NGE)

For laptops I tend to use demons instead, just seems to fit better (which actually was inspired by Gundam IBO but this is the list)

For example:

• desktop (Linux side) is Raziel
• desktop (windows side 😩) is Azrael
• main laptop is Gusion
• eBay Thinkpad is Barbatos

“3! 2! 1!” Is just what I say when doing some potentially deleterious action after rsyncing a few key directories to a separate volume

I think one of the reasons why we’re still seeing this done by journalists is because Elon’s takeover is probably relevant to whatever it is they’re reporting. I’ve definitely seen articles just refer to it as “X”. But whenever it’s a story about some crazy racist shit someone said or how poorly their advertising business is doing, it’s “formerly Twitter”.

That said, I think online people who aren’t writing for news outlets and aren’t insane will — for the most part — always call it Twitter out of spite until the site either dies or Musk sells it and it changes back.

I see a private ambulance service driving around my town occasionally and it always makes my skin crawl

The ghost of Christmas future

I think going back in time and video gaming Reagan would be a good start
