Ooo is there a guide you are following for this? I tried setting this up a few years back during covid and never could get it working right. I still think it was faulty hardware but I went through at least a half-dozen grabbers.
Awesome, thanks! I may dive back into this project again since I would still really like to do it. I think I actually have a spare Pi 4 around here somewhere that I got for my 3d printers but ended up swapping that to a thin client. Appreciate it!

Article has been updated, this appears to have been a false alarm:
Nicholas Wu of Politico wrote that DC Metro Metropolitan Police spokesperson Hugh Carew said that the evacuation of the building took place after a call reporting an active shooter but that it “appears to be a bad call” and that “no injuries and no shooter were located”.
I haven’t used TurboTax recently, but I just received a check from my state’s government saying that they’ve settled with Intuit over charging customers tax return services that should have been free....
I’ve used them for many years. Like you said, free for federal and I think $15 if you want them to file state/local which I am happy to pay. I know I can do it free online but it’s a cheap convenience.
Being in IT I’ve made a LOT of mistakes over the years, it comes with the territory. Though potentially screwing up a nearly half-century old science mission is not one of those. I truly hope for everyone’s sake (but especially the person/people that issued the wrong command) that everything is corrected come October. That would be a horrible thing to have to think about.
My issue at this point is I have SOOOO many PS games that I wouldn’t want to have to re-purchase on Xbox. I’ve had a playstation since the 2 so have a pretty extensive library. If there was a way to transfer things over without re-purchasing I would likely make the switch. As it stands, I made my bed so now I lay in it, lol.
I could use some advice on RSS feed syncing options. Usually I would just use Feeder on my phone to grab my RSS feeds, then if I’m consuming content another device I would just check it on my phone and then open the content on anther device. Cross device sync would have been nice, but I got along fine without it. Recently...
I use FreshRSS and the FeedMe Android app. While FeedMe isn’t on Fdroid you can download the APK directly from their releases page on github: github.com/seazon/FeedMe/releases
It’s been working extremely well for me the past month or so.
What legal issues would they be opening themselves up to? All airspace in the US is regulated by the FAA. As long as they weren’t in restricted airspace, following all the regulations, and the operator had the proper part 107 license there is nothing illegal about using a drone in this manner. There have been various discussions over the years about “owning” airspace over ones property but nothing has even gone to court that I’m aware of. Not to mention the company could have well seen onto the persons property while being over public space (I.E. the road).
I’m not arguing if this was right or wrong, but I see nothing illegal here.
The article touches on that part actually right at the end:
As for legality of taking drone pictures over a house? California state law only forbids that if you’re specifically doing so as a sort of peeping tom.
Oh the laws are super-weird. I have my license and a drone which is why I felt the need to comment. I used to work for a utility company and we had a two-operator drone that required that. Though it was nothing high-end for filming. We used it for inspections, to back-fill crappy satellite imagery, and occasional community events. I’ve kept my license current intending to do something with it, just haven’t really put a lot of work into that other than creating the LLC. One of these days I’ll finally get around to it…I keep thinking real estate.
It was honestly super-fun. Loved getting out in the field with my partner in crime to fly. Hmm may have to do a little more digging. I literally have all the pieces of the puzzle: LLC, drone, insurance, experience, etc. Just have to find the right way to break into the market. I thought I had a lead on doing tower inspections around the state but that ended up falling through. :( Cheers!
Yeah it would have been guaranteed, high-paying work forever as long as I kept up the quality. All towers need to be inspected regularly. I thought about that but I’m not even slightly creative and wouldn’t even know where to begin.
As long as you are just doing capture and aren’t attempting to do anything where a re-encode of the video stream is needed then absolutely. You’ll need something other than a microSD card though to write the video too.
There are some people that asked a similar question but I don’t want who gets raw revenue, but who gets the probably obscene margins (profits thus) from paying $10-20/year for linking a piece of string and an IP address?
I believe I'm at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:
Plex
Vaultwarden
Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
NPM
Pihole
All the "arr" stuff
Nextcloud
Portainer
FreshRSS
There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.
I'm going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that's going to have to wait, lol.
By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.
I don't know that it's really necessary to use both nextdns and pihole. You may look at a couple of comparisons and decide what's best for you. I just use pihole (two of them actually, one in docker and one on an actual pi).
Yep it's for all my linux ISOs. I have it in my homelab. I probably WAY over-complicated things but I use OPNsense for my firewall and selectively route traffic from specific containers down a ProtonVPN tunnel. I'm using macvlans within docker to give those containers dedicated IP addresses which allows the selective routing to working.
I do this too, air 2s. I have to do the pics anyway. So much easier than camera + tripod + timer. I'm one of the taller ones too so I can stand in the back with the remote behind someone else.
