If you’re going to be playing with custom locations and such, it might be worth using nginx directly instead of through the limitations of NPM.

I know I’m a bit late to the conversation, so I don’t know if this is still helpful… But I have a camera with “AI Detection” built into it and it appears to send alerts via its ONVIF connection. I’ve disabled motion and other detectors on my NVR (AgentNVR) and instead configured it to just wait for an alert from the camera itself to start recording. It’s been working quite well.

My initial plan was to use a coral TPU and frigate, but the Coral/Gasket drivers appear to be pretty old and I couldn’t get them to work properly, myself.

Convenience. Unless you live right near the border, it’s probably faster/easier to shop in your own state than drive all the way to another.

But if you do live near the border of a state without a sales tax, then it’s pretty common to shop in the neighboring state, especially for larger purchases.

The US doesn’t have a national sales tax, so it depends whether the individual state imposes a tax or not.

I’ve also been running nginx in an unprivileged LXC container. I haven’t used fail2ban, specifically, but crowdsec has been working without issue.

You can mostly just treat an LXC like a normal VM.

I mostly learn from mistakes, and since homelabs are all about learning, there are bound to be mistakes.

I’ve borked my network multiple times, broken VMs, and redesigned things from the ground up, again.

Big lesson is to have backups. Lol

I’m using cloudflare as my nameserver and the free API seems to work just fine with ddclient.

Steam controller or PlayStation, depending on the game.

I have a couple Libre Office files where I document the non-technical stuff for my own quick reference, like network layout in Draw, or IP and port assignments in Calc. I use a git repo to store and organize podman scripts, systemd unit files, configs, etc. Probably not the most elegant solution, but it’s simple and FOSS.

Reverse proxy is Nginx Proxy Manager.

I have the older “Google WiFi” mesh and I was able to install OpenWRT on them. You might want to see if that’s an option for yours before spending money on a new system.

Libre Office “Base”

Someone probably just dropped a reel while swapping the tape on their mainframe and has spent the last week trying to roll it all back up.

Another option would be to redirect logs to a ramdisk. That’s what I’m doing on a RPI to try to minimize writes on the sd card. The biggest downside is that you lose your logs when you power off the device, but if the alternative is not having logs at all, I think it’s still a better option.

Of course, installing a proper drive is still the best solution.

It never stopped working for me, besides the outage the other day. I’m guessing it’s because I’m a mod for a sub. They said from the beginning that they wouldn’t break things for mods, and surprisingly, it seems that they’ve kept their word on that.

Not much any more. I brought it to PAX this year to keep me entertained while waiting in lines, but otherwise it’s barely come out of its case this year.

I don’t blame the deck, though I’ve scarcely played any video games this year, in general. When I got it, I played a bunch of the Witcher 3, but then they released an update that completely broke the game on decks. After that, my go-to game (when I play) became Cities Skylines, which just feels far more natural with a mouse.

67% on QRZ.

That includes everything I log, though, and I don’t actually expect confirmations on some of them. For example, I’ll log QSOs on local repeaters just to help me keep track of people I’ve talked to in the area, but I don’t expect to get QSLs on those.

Anyway, for a point of comparison, I have 59% on LOTW.

Just bought Palworld, but haven’t had a chance to play yet.

port the Pokémon to Pokémon violet.

After beating the game, I spent the rest of my time trying to break it. 😁.

Missingno, ■'m■, infinite items, lvl 200+ Pokemon and various other glitches have wrecked havoc on that save. I’m not sure Violet can handle it!

Well, if you add in the hours I put into Yellow and then Gold, I might be pretty close. Lol
