I really wouldn’t expose a DVR to the internet, and especially not RTSP, those sorts of things get brute forced all the time, and you can find websites full of hacked cameras.
What I would do is run a VPN server (maybe Wireguard) on your Pi, and VPN in when you want to look at your cameras.
yeah but I am not exposing my DVR to the internet, right? I only expose my reverse proxy (Caddy) to the internet that is just redirecting the traffic from my DVR. You kinda make me worry as if this is still not safe enough??
A reverse proxy by itself doesn’t do much security wise. You could possibly setup some sort of authentication, attempt blocking, and rate limiting (in the reverse proxy, don’t trust the DVR), but it’ll probably also break the DVR even more.
There’s bots that port scan and specifically target all sorts of stuff, and DVRs are a very common target. With a VPN in the way, there’s no way of knowing what’s there. A VPN also shouldn’t break the web UI.
Your personal files? Back them up onto an external drive in Windows and then copy them into your home directory after installing Linux.
If it’s app data also copy it into an external drive and import it into the apps after installing them on Linux. Depending on the app they may have cloud sync options you can use too.
Years ago I saw a show where a teacher gave a slow learner a business card sized piece of paper with a small rectangle cut out of the center. Instead of having to look at an entire page of print at once, the card let the student cut it down to one word at a time so they wouldn’t feel so intimidated.
Whenever I start to read a quote from Trump I want that little card, so I’m not overwhelmed by his sheer intelligence.
If you happen to see your post response here later on as a reply to a non-related post, but the idea is the same, it was me. This is one of the greatest replies I have seen on Lemmy and probably Reddit back in the day. It tells so much in so little and I identify with it.
I never knew how to express how intellectually insecure I feel listening to Trump speak and reading text of what he says. No I know what to do. Thank you, friend!
It was on Fox news so it was probably something like “Facebook illegally allows Democrats to exist and they broke the constitution by not forcing your content on to everyone at all times. What do you have to say to the evil baby killing transgender DEI Democrats about that? Did Zuckerberg fix the woke bug?”
When Reddit announced their API thing, I moved to beehaw (LW didn’t exist) and it was cool! Then they defederated from instance one by one… So I opened an account on LW.
lol I’m fat (and, I wouldn’t say ugly, but I’m pretty ugly if I forgo my hygiene, acne prevention, and grooming routine for a couple days) and I’ve been in a few relationships and am married to a beautiful woman half my weight, and we love one another very much.
Fat doesn’t HELP, it certainly makes things more difficult. There are men/women who are immediately turned off by it. But dating and relationships are in many ways about personality and confidence. Personality you can improve on, and confidence you can fake, until both become natural to you.
I will be using this computer mainly to write documents, make the occasional presentations, browse the web, and watch videos and movies. So no photo- or video editing nor gaming at all.
Then go for a Raspberry pi 3. (No, not rpi 4 or the rpi 5 one). It’s cheap, with a power draw low enough to leave it running 24/7 (it will not increase your energy bills by the slightest). Downside is that you’ll have to learn some Linux “tricks” that will (definitely) “grind your gears”, but eh… it’ll be a fun ride if you are willing to lose some sanity for the sake of enjoying a “It’s like nothing is happening to my power bills at all!” power of the convenience it’ll bring to your life and your lifestyle as well.
That is completely wrong – there are a couple distros out there that work “out of the box” without the need of a custom kernel. Not just for the rpi, but for many other “obscure” pcs, including a thermostat.
Reminds me of the party game you play where people write a story by taking turns saying a word. It ends up just being rambling nonsense that has no direction.
Language Model for sure, but “Large” is giving him too much credit. He speaks like a smartphone predictive text keyboard trained on a dataset of elementary school worksheets that somehow got contaminated by posts from /pol/
A lot of these problems used to be widespread in the West, too. Littering was still ubiquitous into the 70’s, at the edge of living memory you have all kinds of ethnic rent seeking and corruption, and sanitation was a huge problem in the 19th century. Stick with democracy and give it a a lifetime or two (change is hard, I’m sorry).
Even when Indians leave India, they try to create a mini-India abroad and not go out of their cultural comfort zone.
That’s not my experience in Canada. All immigrant communities tend to stick together, just for the familiarity, but I’d say Indians are are more comfortable interacting with other groups than average. It’s probably because India itself is so diverse.
When I was like six or seven years old, my great aunt Ruth stayed over Christmas eve. She was a nun, so because it was important to her, we were going to open all of our Christmas presents after mass.
Mass was almost three hours. I remember this pretty clearly because I had a cheap casio wristwatch and I was timing it. I probably didn’t hear a word of the sermon.
