Trans men are okay then? Sick, as long as the freaks don’t see them they’re safe

EMAIL PROVIDERS:

1. Posteo - Their choice of domain
2. Mailbox - Custom domain

DEFINITELY FREE TIERS:

3. GMX - Apparently has ads
4. Zoho - Business focused
5. Proton - Feels walled garden-esque, has one email for free

That’s going to be very interesting with persistent spam senders.

Proton allows only one free email address, which is what taught me to be wary of unexpected restrictions on services. I’ve got to say the only one I trust fully is my own. DuckDuckGo email is a good firewall layer as well - it forwards all mail to your chosen actual address after trying its best to strip the mail of trackers.

Yo I just wish you could opt out of government ownership

I don’t have any small form factor recommendations, but I can recommend - if you’re comfortable going AliBaba/AliExpress - the Ípega brand. It’s about £10, requires an app to configure, but extremely long-life battery and switchable modes. But the best controller for the rare few mobile games that support controller input natively is an Xbox One… one, and any other made after that point

This. Why pay £6/m when, with self-hosting a Samba/NFS/NextCloud instance, I pay a fraction of the corporate cost.

Currently I’m paying ~£15/m as my server now has a GPU for better streaming and local assistant purposes. It uses ~80W. Without the GPU I was paying ~£4.50/m, which gets me:

• Network-wide traffic protection, ads, spam etc.
• Hub to remotely control, secure and automate my home
• Cloud media, frequently synced between devices
• CCTV
• Password management
• Email
• Notekeeping
• Instant messaging
• Streaming for locally stored movies, shows, music, podcasts, books, audio books and YouTube subscriptions
• Multiplayer Minecraft server
• Website/blogsite
• Remote desktop access
• Group video calling/presentation hosting
• 54TB shared storage between everything
• Network-attached storage

Imagine the cost of outsourcing all these services for unlimited access, unlimited* storage, unlimited e-mailboxes, and complete independence** from outside influence. I know I’d be paying £8/m to Google for their 2TB media storage plan alone.

*Limited by the drives you can afford
**Relying only on the developers of the software
It cost approx. £200 for the base parts, £200 for the GPU and £900 for the hard drives. A valuable investment.

I’ve worked out that I’ve had the server running for 3 years. If I take into account the money I have saved by not paying Google £8/m, I’ve saved £40/year. If I account for Netflix £25/m, I’ve completely covered the £900 I spent on storage. Disney+ £15/m takes me well over the remaining hardware costs. The media I own is far less than that offered by streamers but it’s everything I can need for the next 20 years+. I’ve counted. Every other service is just a bonus.

Does it connect to your WiFi, is that how you get the IP of the camera?

TL;DR: They’re a damn good choice, and I don’t know how offline they can be.

I use Proxmox, Reolink 810s, and I have AgentDVR logged into the cameras via https (443) to get info, and ONVIF (8000) for the stream. It takes a little tweaking via the camera app or web GUI if you want the onboard AI to omit large or small objects for screenshots or notifications, which I have controlled by HA. I use the AgentDVR and Reolink integrations. Here are the features I’ve got:

• AgentDVR logged in to the cameras’ admin account (definitely no Reolink account)
• Reolink cam rolling footage based on motion, on onboard MicroSD
• AgentDVR 24/7 footage saving directly to a mounted high-capacity HDD
• Reolink cam, with detection, sends a screenshot with a configured naming format via FTP directly to Home Assistant’s www folder (but this and notifications can be handled by either piece of the setup)
• Home Assistant monitors the folder with folder_watcher and an automation prepares to send my phone a notification (Fdroid - not Google) once the image has ‘closed’)
• I’ve saved my automation script in which HA does the screenshots instead of the Reolink cam. I’ve kept the clickAction to the Reolink app in there because it’s very complicated
• My cameras are connected to my home WiFi but they can also connect to an NVR or a PC for a completely isolated link (you’ll need a PoE injector, I use this for up to 4 cameras).

If you use the Reolink app, then it will use the Reolink servers via several domains. I haven’t checked traffic on the cameras yet. It can be fully offline but I choose not to for a better remote experience using the app.

I set them up a long time ago, scanning a QR code on the camera using the Reolink app. I don’t know if it can be handled another way.

any … device that uses Wifi is to be avoided

Same here with TPLink. I avoid Tapo for its more anti-consumer features like cloud dependence and WiFi, and stick to Kasa, but I do have a KP303 which was pretty much the only smart strip in production, and unlike the other Kasa plugs the strip can’t be configured without logging in.

Nobody should’ve bought games published by Amazon in the first place

Of course we did bro, AI (or at least, the current use of the term) is here and no multinational conglomerate gives a fuck about the environment any more

When you’re an even bigger piece of shit than China, you know you’ve got problems

Of course, I know Germany’s reason for this change is the monetary cost of trade, rather than the ethical cost, but still

It’s owned by Amazon. A no brainer to avoid, really

Was the plane’s name Moana?

So that’s why the USA is the primary source of monetised knowledge. Fwiw I fully support pirating educational media, because if many countries of the world can access a significant amount of education for free, everyone should have the same chance, regardless of how the government of the locale wants to rule and restrict it.

I support fair wages for those who deliver publicly available services at material cost only or lower, so I support taxation that finances it and minimum wage regulation. Even though I believe the current minimum wage in the West isn’t sufficiently regulated. It needs to triple in order to catch up to the ‘inflation’, or the perceived monetary value of everything.

Right? My Reolink detect on device so it’s definitely ms. Even having HA handle screenshots with the delayed feed through AgentDVR would make it under 2s. OP’s NVR is apparently running it through AfterEffects Pro and airbrushing before export

I can recommend Beets for tagging, with the Lyrics plugin. Perfect for my Navidrome server and synced lyrics work perfectly on Symfonium

Little removed

Does Lemmy.world remove curse words, now, or was that just you? The fuck 😂

Son of a… Thank you! Time to reassess my server aha
