My ISP actually supplies Fritzbox routers by default.

I turned mine into a passthrough modem for my pfsense firewall to use, but it's a solid piece of kit.

No Pairdrop?

This works for me, for any adhoc files I want to get to any device any time, any place...

For any regular file transfers, syncthing.

Sounds like you'll get pro advice anyway, but make sure you datestamp the video / images if you want to use this as evidence

I've used MotionEye for a while and it's good on low-end equipment, but not sure it's good enough for what you want / need.

As others have said, if you block the equipment from reaching the internet then you're halfway there. If you literally do not physically connect the camera network to anything else then you're ven better off.

Don't use wifi cameras.

"Impersonation and psychological warfare will be a big thing in the coming years," warns Rem Dudas from Palo Alto Networks, noting how AI enables malware to mimic other threat actors' techniques

Might be <%your country%>?

AquaSec identified Serbia-based IP addresses used in the attacks, Serbian phrases in the scripts, and Slovak language in the GitHub repository hosting the miners, but it could make no confident attribution.

The in-memory version of the tab template prevents having to restart FF to load the new one from disk now, but, at some point you're still going to have to restart...

I tend to hibernate my laptop, so it doesn't reboot often... so surely I'm going to get to the point where FF needs a restart...

Or, complain to the website not to use browser specific features (just like the old Internet Explorer days)

I've not looked into it properly yet, but - considering this is still free software - I don't believe that level of granularity exists.

So, if I wanted to share my holiday photos from last week with 1 friend, and the photos from someone's party to different friends... nope.

Does that site contain all the old 2000's malware too?

I'm sure Flash was the original internet malware delivery mechanism of choice.

That's an interesting point...

I'd like to share some (holiday) photos with my friends & family, so I can put those onto Pixelfed / Friendica / etc... I don't necesarily want to share all the photos...

And that's using the cloud.

Job Done. The self-hosting + federated cloud future is here!

Rejoice.

Agreed. It's driver support that's really the problem.

Fairphone's support is basically limited to how long they can negotiate with component suppliers to maintain their parts. They had an issue a few years ago due to the camera chip supplier withdrawing support.

Uridium ... Jetpac... Time Tunnel...

Chiller / Thriller - the one that had to change it's name & music to avoid legal action from Michael Jackson: https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/chiller-v1/

Er... the Last V8...

Man.. there were loads and I don't really recall their names, but can recall the games

Vic-20 was the lower cost option of the C64, so yeah, loads around. Of course you always wanted the C64... then the C128 and then the Amiga...

Glad to see focused development

I didn't know that the App could be a launcher, will have to check that out...

And I understand the treadmill of technology, but I suspect some of my tablets will now have to go to recycling if Android 6 is minimum spec... they still have good batteries 😥

 

A colleague was discussing an option to use different vendors either side of a DMZ and suggested StormShield... I'd not heard of them before.

Looks interesting, albeit an old Gartner "magic quadrant" showed their firewalls as being in the bottom left corner... so I thought I'd ask here for real-life opinions on them... if any?

 

Interesting article where ~35k devices from 45 manufacturers have vulnerabilities

Advice is probably not as easy to implement as this in real life:

Forescout recommends that you immediately stop the direct connection of devices to the Internet, to use VPNs or segmented networks, and to ensure prompt firmware updates. Otherwise, tens of thousands of systems around the world will remain a potential entry point for attackers.

 

I have a few VMs and PMs around the house that I'd setup over time and I'd now like to rebuild some, not to mention just simplify the whole lot.

How the hell do I get from a working system to an equivalent ansible playbook without many (MANY) iterations of trial & error - and potentially destroying the running system??

Ducking around didn't really show much so I'm either missing a concept / keyword, or, no-one does this.

Pointers?

TIA

I'm 99% happy with Logseq.

The one thing that I struggle with is keepng an eye on ToDos.

Is there a better way of looking at them without looking at a ToDo page or an advanced query slowing down my journal template?

Is there another application that can parse the logseq .md files so that I'm not getting behind on my work?

 

I saw a similar post here recently, but this is slightly different.

I'm running MythTV on Arch which is working fine (of course), but when MythTv came out of the main packages and went to the AUR, it was just a little harder to maintain and had some compolation issues due to ffmpeg, etc - to the point: my last update was probably 3 years ago.

The (minor) issues I currently have are:

  • terminator won't start 1st time, but starts fine 2nd time
  • shutdown's take a few minutes due to a systemd issue
  • everything's woefully out of date

So... considering all the changes with audio and video over the last few years do I just pacman -Syuv and crack on... or... start again from scratch?

(Yep, full backup 1st)

 

First holiday rental BBQ of the year.

These are always an adventure, broken legs, crumbling gas pipes, spiders and snails in all the crevices...

In this case, it's not too bad, just lit the fire so we'll see if it explodes / melts...

And... just burgers, sausages and halloumi for this one, nothing too adventurous

 

It's already 25DegC in my home office.

The best cooling automation I have so far is to turn the fan on when it's 25 for >5mins.

Is there a nice zigbee / ESP32 evaporation cooler that I can enjoying setting up with HA?

 

Just found my Vivaldi update contained a little more than just bugfixes... it now has Proton VPN built in.

It's actually part of the browser, not an extension, so I'm in two minds whether I like that... or not.

You need either a Vivaldi account or a Proton account, so it's not completely anonymous, but it's a start.

The free-tier of Proton VPN also appears to be bandwidth limited and your exit point is randomised, so... yeah, it's ok...

 

"On 11th November BBC iPlayer will no longer be available directly on this device."

OK, so, I didn't purchase this particular (Blaupunkt) TV, but as it's my mother's then, well, I'm the one that has to "fix" this.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

I see the BBC website has some links to review sites, but I thought this might be another place to ask for - preferably open source - devices that could be used.

Comments?

As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I'm still here... recording Live TV, watching films, listening to "me choonz" all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

NAS vulnerabilities (www.theregister.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Cyber@feddit.uk to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I'd just post it here...

It's more to act as a reminder that if you've got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it's behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed.

Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: CVE-2024-2947 - just an example, not bashing that project at all.

I've used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I'd be interested to know if there's other options that I've not heard of

 

Before I dive headlong into debugging and throwing bug tickets around, I just needed a sanity check from someone else..

I have an old Lenovo laptop as my daily driver / experimentation box (ie it gets a lot of paclages installed and removed)

Recently I've been using Vivaldi's built-in calendar to use as a CalDAV client for my radicale installation.

It's the only open tab and Vivaldi's using ~20% CPU (according to htop)... actually, I just closed that tab... even with 1 blank tab the CPU's the same.

Is this just my battle weary laptop needing a good clean, or can someone else confirm?

TIA
