One might remember when FEMA’s morgue in Austin TX held a deceased person under the false pretense they had died in a bombing, in reality they were growing an alien creature within them.

How Much Spying do We as a Society Wish to Allow? (www.youtube.com)

You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear that people care!

That would be amazing. I also think that everything and everyone one in any level of government should let their actions, money, etc. be open source and viewable to everyone.

How?

  • I don’t know how but they obviously know a way. There are so many ways for your life to be pieced together by many algorithms online all collecting bits of data that are then sold to create effectively, you.

So it actively listens in case someone says out loud they’re a communist?

  • If there are microphones in the car then I absolutely believe it will listen to you. Many companies and apps do this already. Think of a time when you mentioned something and now you get an ad for it. And you’re right, that shouldn’t be part of your purchase order.

Soon AI will be watching my skin over time so my insurance can deny claims

  • China already does this with a social credit system. I wouldn’t put it passed any other governments that already show similar tendenancies.

I guarantee this means, in part, that they’re literally measuring your dick

  • Telsa is in a lawsuit currently for employees looking at nude videos among other things from peoples car’s cameras

Look at how much money the US spends (creates) for their military. It’s more and more and more every year and we have no idea were lots of it goes towards. Then wars are milked for the military industrial complex to profit off of. Certainly some operations can be kept secret to some degree but it has gone way too far currently.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I totally get what you’re saying and there is certainly not a good way or one way of solving these problems. I believe that the government has no trust left to give. Just like if one person in a relationship made too many mistakes over and over to degrade trust the partner might want them to be totally transparent. While not ideal to have everything in a government transparent we are so far down the loss of trust rabbit hole that only something drastic to uproot our comfy lives needs to be taken. My ideas are certainly not perfect but we the people need to come to some consensus soon and give up some convienences for the better

Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server?

I’m in the process of designing a home server and am curious how many ethernet ports are required at minimum and how many people recommend. The single board computer (SBC) I plan to use has two built in and has a pcie slot to add four more if necessary. If I don’t need the four extra I’d like to use the pcie slot for a...

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

What scenerio would require multiple Ethernet ports? Is two or even one sufficient for what I want to do?

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I didn’t know that you could have two “interfaces” vs “ports”. I was talking about the physical ports knowing this. This helps me understand what @fiivemacs means. I’m definitely not going to be using more than one provider. Thank you!

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

So really just one port to connect the server to the router for everyone to have access is what I’m understanding? So then that leaves me with one extra to use with an ePOE hub to then add all my cameras to.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

What is port bonding exactly? Extra throughput by using two ports from the same ISP?

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

#1 seems like something I understand and could use but doubt I really need that. The other things you mention I don’t fully understand what they are and since you say I probably don’t need to worry about them then I won’t.

I believe I’ll need to use a second port to add an ePOE hub for a few cameras though.

Thank you!

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Perfect, thank you.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Thank you. This gives a lot of context and makes sense. I think I’ll use the second port for an ePOE hub for the cameras and the pcie slot for the Coral. Right now I use a half decent all-in-one router with OpenWRT but have been wanting to upgrade to get AX WiFi. I’ll look into makinging sure I get competent hardware.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Thank you. I don’t think I have a good need for this feature so that’ll save me a port.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I didn’t know you could have to ISPs connected to one device. I won’t be requiring that however. I was wondering if besides the one port to connect my server to the router there was anything else I was missing or is commonly used that I should be aware of to take up another port.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Specifically POE security cameras. So those can be connected to my all-in-one router and thus to my server running Frigate? That’s good to understand. Thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

That’s a little over my head but thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I’ll keep that one in mind. Thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Great to know. Thank you!

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I would prefer to keep the cameras off of the WiFi. I don’t want them accessing the internet. I have never used containers before which Frigate will be on so hopefully there is a way to disable internet access to a container. Otherwise though the SBC comes with two 2.5Gbit ports and I believe my router is at least 1Gbit though regardless I plan to upgrade it.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Thanks! It gives me context and better understanding with your example. Good to know about the extra features dedicated movie boxes might have. I’ll keep that in mind when looking for or designing one.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Well I’ve certainly got a lot more learning to do and these projects give me something to apply my knowledge to. I’ll be looking more into Vlans and also how to beef up my throughput (if that’s the right term to use here).

Xbox controller driver needs to be reinstalled constantly

I’m on Fedora and I use the xone driver for a wireless Xbox One X/S controller. Every time I update the kernel the xone driver disappears so I need to reinstall it constantly (I assume it’s because of how Fedora handles backup kernel versions). It was not like this back when I was using an arch based distro so is there a way...

I don’t know the answer to your question however if you can’t figure it out, I use a Guilikit King Kong Pro 2 which doesn’t require drivers and it works flawlessly on Mint (I assume any distro too)

What are your go-to brands for any electronic, networking, computing accessories or peripherals?

Hi all, since ya’ll are self hosters, I’m sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, “go to” brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power...

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

I believe Kingston has the fastest and smallest USB drive out there. I’ve never had an anker product that lasts long but Belkin seems to be good to me. I pick my WiFi routers based on what is supported by OpenWRT. Nitecore makes great batteries and chargers. My Caldigit dock is fantastic

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

It’s definitely complicated for me too. It took me many videos and articles to figure out how to set it up. I realized ram and on board storage is very important for how many plugins you can use.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

I totally get you with not wanting to wait ages to copy stuff. The Kingston Data Traveler Max. It’s USB 3.2x2. I suppose it’s not as fast as the new USB4 devices but I suspect they’ll eventually release a new version. It’s the same speeds as the SanDisk Extreme V2 (non Pro). So very fast but not quite besting SanDisk but it has a smaller footprint going for it without a dongle essentially.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Memory and storage are the two big potential limitations. As you install various plugins under the “Software” section (If you choose to) your memory and storage space will quickly start to get eaten up as visualized under the “Software” and “Overview” sections. For instance, Adguard Home could be something worth installing but it’s also a heavy program. It requires 50MB of free memory and over 100MB of free storage. I have the memory but not the storage space required (even before any other plugins were installed). However there is a way to add extra root storage to your router via a USB drive but it’s also quite a process to get that sorted.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

It is nice to see more companies making them. I had to search a long time to find that drive. A good reason to have different options is that a firmware update it now available for those SanDisk drives we were talking about because a critical flaw was found within them.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Besides Nitecore for various battery types and cameras I don’t have a preference as long as it’s a quality brand so I don’t fry anything. I am waiting for higher output GaN chargers for USB-C specifically. I have yet to find any though if anyone else knows of any.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

As far as I care or know about they’re just incredibly small for how much power they can output.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Haha I am by no means a tech expert. I just get focused on something and learn all about it. I do tend to forget a lot about it later too!

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

I think I’ve seen the company in the past but wasn’t really aware of them. Sadly their one port output still only maxes at 140W with the GaN unit. Thanks for the tip

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Do you have any recommendations for home security cameras that are PoE?

It used to be that you would do a search on a relevant subject and get blog posts, forums posts, and maybe a couple of relevant companies offering the product or service.

Many people drive drunk and injure people but people don’t stop driving because of one way the vehicle can be used for bad. Sure, JWB is associated with the phrase but the Latin phrase can also stand on it’s own merits too. I’m not a supporter of JWB in any way.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Nope

Except for that Michael Bazzell is the gold standard for living a private and secure life and he values her opinion and insights enough that he had her speak on his podcast. Michael Robertson has nothing to do with this topic.
