I can't see this lasting. This could go two ways - either large organizations pay up in some other ways to this administration or this is used as a leverage to force India to come to the table. Also that India receives $36 billion in remittances from overseas Indian workers. The current ruling Party in India is going to feel some pressure from its citizens over that alone.

The specs indicate 6 hours of battery life. Not really something you can use all day.

Not sure HUDs in cars will cause same issues. There aren't a lot of things to read on car HUDs that require direct concentrated focus. Every HUD I've seen have displayed the most minimal information. Usually the speed, map directions and media currently playing. Even the map directions usually only indicate the next step in route. So a quick glance is all that is required. Regular dashboard gauges require far more concertation. Especially if you're new to that specific vehicle.

More like technology evolves in spurts. Huge gains within a specific area for 2-3 decades and then only small incremental advancements for the next 2-3 decades.

If you’re concerned about logs being sent by each node in a tailnet , then you’re better off just self-hosting your own tailscale control plain using headscale . You can run it as a container in a NAS.

Who has time to read when it's about 'Move fast and break things..." /s

No. Nothing of that scale. I was replying to OP's take on the 3 factors that lead to success in general. I was simply pointing out a 4th factor that plays a big role.

>luck, skill and hard work.

Another key component is knowing the right people or the network you're in. I've known a few people that lacked 2 of those 3 things and yet somehow succeeded. Simply because of the people they knew.

I don't exactly have the ideal hardware to run locally - but just ran the 20b in LMStudio with a 3080 Ti (12gb vram) with some offloading to CPU. Ran couple of quick code generation tests. On average about 20t/sec. But response quality was very similar or on-par with chatgpt o3 for the same code it outputted. So its not bad.

This is neat. Anyone using these for live charts with real time data?

I can't speak for pros and cons with XCP-Ng. I've been meaning to try out XCP-ng. But feel like there just isn't a large enough community support around it yet. At least not like Proxmox, which has seen a surge in usage and popularity after the Broadcom fiasco.

>Why are people still installing security cameras that are monitored by them?

Very few people rarely ever actively monitor their home security cameras these days. I only look at the recorded footage if and only when a predefined event is triggered. Usually if a person is detected within a specific area when I'm not at home and they shouldn't be there. Such as door leading into the house from the backyard. Or if a package is delivered and I don't see the package on my doorstep.

I also ran Doublestake and Compreface with Frigate. Found out that it didn't really provide any benefits for me. The default native person detection in Frigate using the TPU is more than adequate. I've seen some interesting stuff people have done using a mix of locally hosted LLM vision model with Home Assistant and Frigate to do image interpretation. Including facial recognition and License plate reader. It's something I want to eventually explore.

TP-Link Tapo cameras (or any other cheap cams) are fine. As long you take necessary steps to prevent leaking or calling home. I have a mix of both tapo and eufy. All of them isolated via VLAN with router FW rules set to block all traffic. The only time I had to use anything connected externally is when I had to setup each camera using the Eufy or tplink mobile apps. But once they were added to VLAN isolated wireless network, I never had to ever use the mobile app. (Unless I specifically update the firmware that addressed a problem)

The above should apply to any 'IoT' device.

Frigate has been great for me. Been using it for couple of years in a Unraid server with 8 cameras connected. Mix of Eufy and Tapo cameras. Only downside is that it doesn't have a IOS/Android application yet. So for now, I just use the frigate web UI as PWA on IOS. Then access it on my local network via VPN once I receive a notification.

yes. You have to go into the Eufy mobile app and enable RTSP for each camera you have registered. Assign the camera a static IP and add a password there. Then use that in your frigate config yaml to setup the stream. Including go2rtc.

Your go2rtc url should look something like this and it will display that url in the camera configuration in the app itself.

rtsp://cameraname:password@<ip address>/live0

I was wondering samething. But then I saw that it has some built-in capabilities for WebSockets and OpenTelemetry.

>You also need more solar and more batteries to power all that ISR.

I wonder if it would be feasible to use smaller sensors and on a smaller platform - then combine that data. Similar in concept to Gorgon stare where the idea was to combine data from multiple UAVs to create a larger image to provide a greater simultaneous coverage area.

https://longreads.com/2019/06/21/nothing-kept-me-up-at-night...

I had that problem before. You can fix that by SSH'ing into your AP and setting the inform IP to point to your controller. Just make sure the IP address of the host that's running the controller container is static.

Two quick examples that I can think from the recent past - I work in a fairly tech conservative IT environment for mid-size industrial company. We're slow to adopt lot of industry trends. So when containers became popular in the mid-2010s, we pretty much stayed away until around 2020-2021. I've been running containers in my home lab for years and had a very grasp of building and deploying containers. So I was able to drive that change and also pass on that self-gained knowledge to many on team that were to new to the concept.

Another example - for years we were mostly a Oracle shop. With some SQL Server thrown in. But management wanted us to trim our annual licensing cost. So we switched a lot of our in-house applications to Postgres. I was using Postgres for years at home and had gained a lot of experience with it. So again, it was an area I was able to contribute a lot when transitioning away Oracle and Sql server.

On the flip side there are things I learned at work, that I was able to bring home and apply to my home lab. One being Ansible and other being network segmentation. Specifically around using VLANs and access control

I like self hosting . It’s not just about privacy or owning something. To me a homelab is also a hobby. No different than previous generations that tinkered with their cars as a hobby. As someone who works in IT - there are also ancillary benefits. What I learn at work, I apply to my home lab and vice versa.

Thanks for recommending thingino. I’ve seen couple of other projects over the years that allowed swapping out the firmware on cheap Chinese manufactured wifi cams. But thingino is the first one that has support for the cameras I actually own. I stopped using those cameras after I moved over to Unifi. But this might give some of those cheap cams a new life and can probably find some use for them.

Lets hope so. But looks like the current admin hasn’t done much to restrict it. Other than raise filing fees, which is usually paid by the employer.

Cf also allows adding authentication. Everything from OTP to third party OIDC. Including major providers like google , github etc. In edition blocking access by region or country.

Also not everyone can simply open a port on their router. Lot of people have ISPs that prohibit that or are behind CGNAT. So CF tunnels makes it lot easier for them to selfhost and expose those apps.

Great seeing Pangolin posted on Show HN. I just got pangolin installed and configured this afternoon on a VPS. With Newt running locally on a cheap mini-pc to establish wireguard tunnel. It was a fairly easy process. Watched couple of videos on YT and then went through the well documented procedure on their site. So far everything seems to be working. I currently only have couple of apps exposed. Plus a private relay for Rustdesk. All working great. Plan on exposing/moving stuff off CF in the coming days. Once I lock down my home network and isolate stuff on separate VLANs.

While CF tunnels were nice and solved my ISP imposed issue with exposing ports via their crappy fiber gateway for couple of years. But I wanted more control. Specifically control over what I can expose without worrying about violating cloudflare’s TOS and ambiguity around media streaming. (Jellyfin/Emby).

I'm not sure what Elon stands to gain by taking on the admin. Sure Elon has piles of cash to dump on various congressional races. But that's about it. On the other side, Trump currently has the full power of the U.S government to take apart Elon's empire. Including Elon. He is better off making amends and focus on his businesses. Even if he does lose out because of the BBB.

Amazon is pretty much Aliexpress now (and Temu in some cases). With bit of a markup on the price.

Don’t think the current guy in the white house is much into nation building. Also after Iraq and 20 years wasted in Afghanistan - Americans are less likely to care about rebuilding a country.

The Houthi threat was in and around the red sea. Iran’s naval reach is limited to with whatever it is they call a “Navy” in the Gulf of Oman. Almost on other side of the Arabian peninsula. Also the Houthis got pummeled once the U.S showed up. The U.S didn’t even continue a sustained campaign to wipe them out. Something it is more than capable of doing with just a single carrier group. That’s not even counting the Saudis getting involved.

Iran doesn’t quite have the capability to shutdown the shipping lanes in the PG. At least not in any way thats sustainable for a long period. A few days at best. A USN CG would put a stop to it in a hurry.
