Here is a picture of my Dads TP-Link KC401. I borrowed it to prove my point. It requires a Kasa home account. I tried signing up for one to see if it has any sort of RTSP I could hook up to, unfortunately I can’t even sign up for an account. I tried first with a temporary email, then my own domain, then I tried protonmail. It rejected all three. Doesnt seem very privacy friendly to me at all if I need an email provider like Google to even sign up to use the damn thing. I can’t find any sort of documentation online about these cameras having RTSP. In fact what I found was the opposite..

The github page you linked there, while being a great option for people who have already drank the koolaid, is not an ideal solution in any capacity. Per the readme.md

If your camera still works with integration: Block internet access of camera if you are using firmware build 230921 and higher

If your camera no longer works with integration: Block internet access and factory reset camera or Use older firmware than build 230921 and optionally factory reset camera

Meaning, they updated it to prevent you from using it. To use it now you have to hack your way around it and pray it doesn’t accidentally come back online. IP Cam =/= Internet Connected cam. IP Cam means I own the camera, and it doesnt have to phone home to the manufacturer for “updates” that take away functionality.

you make one tired typo and youre the laughing stock of the lemmyverse 😔

The catch is that you can’t use a tp link camera as an IP camera and anyone at their office could just tune into your home whenever they wanted.

I drive my partners car and my partner drives my partners car because my car is a PoS 2000 Ford Sudan with a frame bent to shit LOL

I like the word “republitard”

Same thing here, all AMD/Wayland with no issues outside of the ones I cause :p

As the “tech guy” who my family turns to for advice, I do not have a single family member other than my younger brother who has any interest in AI-assistance. My brother wants it to cheat in school.

“God I hate it when other people try to make conversation with me 🙄”

Genuine question who is still using snapchat. I deleted my account ages ago, not because I was on my privacy crusade like I am now, but because I noticed all of my friends stopped using it and everyone else on there was like 5 to 10 years my junior.

Bait used to be believable. Any respectable family guy fan KNOWS her name is LOIS and not LOUIS. wth. Next thing ykno this fella is going to say hes never heard of fingernails4cash.com

Not if those friends care about having their data sold to advertisers.

Except companies have learned the meta, and now a bunch of search queries for Reddit are filled with ads on Reddit. (not to mention you have to use google to get their results now.)

Issue with this argument is that if you are found to have hacked their servers and stolen an API key you bet your ass theyre suing you for stealing their property. Their argument is “laws for thee not for me”. I agree with you if we are only talking about copyright law.

If you want Something you can set up and forget, use YUNOHOST, otherwise learn how to use docker containers and pick any server distro. Debian, Fedora Server, Ubuntu Server, MicroOS, hell OpenWrt will all do fine.

pay to become products* FTFY

I wish. no in school suspension

I would assume ISS, then regular suspension, then expulsion

People shit on Ubuntu because its owned by a for profit corporation that hosts an app manager that isnt open source on the backend. Not sure why you heard hate for mint, its perfectly fine. As a beginner I’d definitely go for Mint. If you Genuinely want to try but feel like you need someone to hold your hand, I can add you on Matrix (or discord… ugh) if you want a person to reference.

My old HS recently implemented an app to go to the bathroom. If you dont check out in the app you are written up. Source: my younger brother

Doesnt change the fact that Matrix is not a single company.
