I, too, run an always on VPN from my mobile devices. I can still access my home network with pihole and DNS entries to my services. It’s not that difficult. I agree though, mTLS is a good option.

JerryRigEverything’s favorite past time.

Yes. GMT is UTC (meaning GMT is +0 and synchronized with UTC), therefore if you have to work out what time it is in other time zones, you use UTC. Your application shows the time in your time zone (unless otherwise specified). Responses will also be shown in your time zone.

A “/s” would have been helpful to note the saracasm.

Can’t review code if you don’t know how to. Are we meant to throw the source into AI and go, “hey is this safe”? While it may work, the time and effort sometimes isn’t. It’s literally being stuck between a rock and a hard place, so-to-speak. And before anyone says, “well, you should learn code”, I hear you. All due respect to those that can, I’m not taking the time because I don’t have time. I’m surviving from high gas prices, high grocery prices, higher bills (with for-profit companies reporting their best ever profits YOY), and keeping afloat. “Ain’t nobody got time fo dat.”

Damn that’s clever.

Samsung Tag 2 or whatever combined with uTag. Yeah it’s Samsung but it’s worked well for me.

Fuck around, Find out!

Nearly any decent PoE camera. I prefer Ubiquiti and Reolink. With PoE cameras you can control (with a firewall) what gets egress to the outside network. Block egress for every camera. Can even go one step further and block them internally but allow only certain ports needed, like 554 for RTSP and 80/443 for management.

I’m not shilling for LMG, but something like Floatplane would make sense. You pay per creator for their extra content and ad free viewing and the cut goes in favor to the creator. Of course Floatplane has to also make money. They’re not in it to serve you ads or use your data to make money. If that took off I could easily see people paying 3-5 creators monthly to watch their videos ad free with extras on one platform.
