BearOfaTime, in Streaming local Webcam in a Linux machine, and acessing it when on vacations - which protocol to choose?

Setup Tailscale on your machine at home and on your Android device. It’ll provide a virtual encrypted network between your devices.

Not sure what video performance across it will be like, I’m sure there’s a bit of overhead.

beeng,

Just use wire guard, which is the backbone of tailscale.

Tailscale could rug pull one day or start charging.

Sounds like OP could handle wire guard setup.

1ft.io also seems to work and by the branding seems unrelated to 12ft

There’s 4ft.io too. Oh nvm looks like it’s gone.

Not much you can select for with desktop parts. Maybe get dual Ethernet now so you don’t want to add a card later. And more disks, more power so one bigger drive is better than two smaller…

Might be better to suspend it, and wake on lan when you want to play.

Feliberto, in Streaming local Webcam in a Linux machine, and acessing it when on vacations - which protocol to choose?

I’m using Frigate with a Google Coral connected to Home Assistant, it’d send an image and a short video to a Telegram group with my wife whenever it detects a person.

I’m using OpenIPC firmware flashed on a chinese Goke camera and works great. It connects to Frigate using RTMP.

You can probsbly ignore the idle power consomuption and enable Wake On LAN and turn it on and of over the network. Is that a solution for you?

Still,
@Still@programming.dev avatar

one of those pi kvms or the like could turn on any system even if it doesn’t support wake on lan

Mantis8497,

With all the helpful comments shared in this thread, I’m starting to realize that this approach is likely the only viable solution.

Previously when doing my research, I was naive enough that when people said “…30W at idle”, it was specifically for their GPU, and not for their whole system. So now things makes a lot more sense.

If you’re on Android and use Firefox, you can use the Disable JavaScript extension to disable JS on sites with paywalls, like NYtimes. While not perfect, it works remarkably well.

Also works great on Desktop.

I’ve been happy with github.com/everywall/ladder

tootbrute,

I use this, too! It's great but doesn't always work.

Cant u do it with vlc directly?

shadowintheday2,

I don’t think VLC alone could handle auth/permissions/encryption

muntedcrocodile,
@muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world avatar

Ur right in that case i suggest just set up a vpn to ur home lan and have it stream to lan

Where are the metric versions? I want my 3 meter ladder.

Clone the repo and make it yourself.

spechter,

Most often I use it, it’s too avoid metrics.

If you’re on Firefox on desktop/laptop, check out Bypass Paywall [0]. It was removed from the firefox add-on store due to a DMCA claim [1], but can be manually installed (and auto updates) from gitlab. The dev even provides instructions on how to add custom filters to uBlock Origin [2], so you don’t have to add another extension but still get some benefit.

Your correct indexing is highly appreciated!

AtariDump,

It must have been while he was kissing you.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

also, bypass paywalls clean on notfirefox, like Chrome, or Kiwi (android).

ssdfsdf3488sd,

That’s the dude who was butt hurt about something this dude did: github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome

and so forked it and arguably does a better job, lol.

jadelord, in 13 Feet Ladder

Seems like this can be done in the browser using a user agent switcher.

ikidd, (edited ) in PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks.
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Yah, it’s been trash from the start. I tried it 2 years ago and the unpredictable weird shit it did was useless to try to troubleshoot. It was worse than trying to run Docker on Windows, if that can be believed.

Debian with the Docker convenience script is the way to run Docker.

lemmyvore, (edited )

Docker has an apt repo. You can add it to your Debian/Ubuntu and install and update packages normally. No need to use a script install.

docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

NotATurtle,

Is there a difference between the apt and the install script version?

aniki,

all depends on what your aptitude is configured to look for.

ikidd,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

That’s essentially what the script does, then installs all the deps and docker, sets up the service.

redcalcium, in PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks.

I also like to run my container platform as a containerized application in another container platform.

Contend6248,

Double-NAT anyone? 3 times the fun, 2 times the work

thanksforallthefish,

Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”

Turbo,

:)

redcalcium, (edited )

Why does Docker has a snap version in the first place anyway? Did Canonical pester them to do it?

Edit:

Nope, it’s just Canonical went ahead and publish it there by themselves.

This snap is built by Canonical based on source code published by Docker, Inc. It is not endorsed or published by Docker, Inc.

thesmokingman,

It’s also offered as part of the installation process at least for Ubuntu server. If you don’t know better it bites you real quick.

hperrin,

Now I know better. No more Ubuntu Server.

GenderNeutralBro,

It’s insane how many things they push as Snaps when they are entirely incompatible with the Snap model.

I think everyone first learns what Snaps are by googling “why doesn’t ____ work on Ubuntu?” For me, it was Filebot. Spent an hour or two trying to figure out how the hell to get it to actually, you know, access my files. (This was a few years ago, so maybe things are better now. Not sure. I don’t live that Snap life anymore, and I’m not going back.)

redcalcium, (edited ) in Streaming local Webcam in a Linux machine, and acessing it when on vacations - which protocol to choose?

If you have a Home Assistant instance, adding a webcam and accessing it from outside of your home network is quite easy: home-assistant.io/…/usb-webcams-and-home-assistan…

Home Assistant is a very useful platform to have around if you have a handful of IoT devices at home.

shadowintheday2,

Thanks, I will look into setting up Home Assist

redcalcium, (edited ) in 13 Feet Ladder

It amazes me that all it takes is just changing user agent to Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/W.X.Y.Z Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) and it can bypass paywalls on many sites? I thought those sites would try harder (e.g. checking if the ip address is truly belong to google), but apparently not.

aniki,

Same. I thought there would be more stuff happening in the background but when I saw it’s just hijacking the google bot headers to display the html i was a bit disappointed it’s so stupidly easy.

andrew,
@andrew@radiation.party avatar

Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).

Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not necessarily a moving target when entire blocks can be associated with Google.

andrew,
@andrew@radiation.party avatar

Unless they are permanently only using specific addresses or blocks and will never change that up, I’d consider it a moving target.

efstajas,

Google literally has an official list of IP ranges for their crawlers, complete with an API that returns the current IP ranges that you can use to automate a check. Hardly a moving target, and even if it is, it doesn’t matter if you know exactly where the target is at all times.
