It’s fine, did the job for me at the time. Just wanted the ad and nasty blocking. Keeping it and the filters up to date is easy.
Now have a pfSense box with pfBlocker-NG, which does essentially the same thing. Also runs Snort as an additional layer, and makes penning in IoT stuff possible.
Well it’s exactly what I asked for, can’t argue 😂
We settled on Puck for the name. It rhymes with what’s said when weird noises come from its direction…
Why not. I would love to see your detached robotic ass.
I printed special little stilts to raise one of our tables the 10mm extra it needed to be able to go under without getting wedged. It still tries fornicating with the cat tree - a different problem to solve.
Never lost it’s ass though, one to look out for there.
It would definitely be a size thing for adding Ethernet (PoE or otherwise) to small boards like these. The ones I am using are already bigger than they ought to be - the bottom half is just a glorified serial interface and power input for USB. The esp plugs into this through pin/header. If I were less lazy, they could be about half the thickness in a final product. No PoE I suppose also keeps them cheap, which is always good for me. The casings were my first ‘proper’ design and entry into resin printing.
The Tapo kit I have found to be a good balance of price, features and quality. I have a Tapo C310 mounted outdoors at another building, which has done great in all weathers. Initial setup does require the app/service last time I checked, but it can be made to serve RTSP locally after that. Very good for the ~£30 price point.
Eggs, baskets, and lessons being taught about how it’s not a good idea to heavily skew their ratio.
Ok so the combination is:
And the finished item:
All assembled, they will give a decent enough feed to frigate for the basics. Just don’t expect miracles in the resolution or framerate departments. 3fps does fine for my use case of tracking critters.
Gladly. I’ll collate a few bits later - time for work.
New to me & bookmarked. I am sure I have some crap lying around that this would work with.
Thank you!
For hardware, anything that can provide a local rtsp stream is a good place to start. I run cheap and cheerful mix of tapo, unbranded and homebrew esp32 cams. Offload the motion/object detection and alerts to something that can pull in the feeds, and isolate the cams to local network only.
WiFi usually ok, but at least hardwire the power to save future grief.
Using frigate to manage mine, which is running under Homeassistant - another project worth looking up.

I hate to disappoint you, but there are plenty of idiots that would lap this up.
Why pick shit out of your cereal, when you can just get the other brand that doesn’t have shit in it?
At least they’ve zapped the acceptable ads out of it :)
Ironfox is my current pref for mobile, backed by uBO & a VPN to a box running pfsense.
ABP hasn’t been relevant for years, because they started on “acceptable ads” back in 2011.
Anyone with sense has long since moved on.
Odd one. Accessible using an app, not on browser though.
Will need an alternative if you need to port forward, but for general use you can’t fault them
UK is implementing law for age verification on nsfw content, that’s the jist of it.
Some services are choosing to simply not serve the UK rather than deal with the faff and/or the privacy concerns. lemmy.zip where I am from is one of them.
Blame lies squarely with the UK gov & Online Safety Act. It’s a shit law made to pander to the ‘think of the children’ types that are incapable of parenting, also coming with the bonus of grift and doxxing concerns by companies that move in to provide the service.
I don’t blame any site operator that chooses to simply not play. VPN goes on, normal service resumes.
It’s not, and it’s the bloody daily heil too.
Use a different service, or encrypt your data before upload & share password separately. For anything remotely private, should be doing that already.
For chaotic good, upload LLM poison to fuck with the training data.
Aye it’s on the list to try & potentially swap out when time allows. Probably over the holidays - no work until the new year after the 23rd, so no excuse really :)
