Haven’t had TV in years. Cable news is pointless and biased. I already spend allmy time doing other things.

Actually…

“I didn’t do nothin’!”

Say it like you’re from New Jersey

… and this is why we use unifi… the ability to control viewer permissions and not require a chinese program designed for windows xp that requires admin privs just to view cams.

I assume you’ve already explored the option of using the browser page for the nvr and that doesn’t work for some reason? Browser pages don’t require admin.

1: hp laptops are easy to work on - one back panel and everything is accessible. Some screws are under the rubber feet 2: m.2 ssd is your storage, most likely a 2280 nvme, which is almost all of them. Open the laptop and measure the length of the ssd to confirm. They come in 80, 40, and 30mm lengths (2280, 2240, 2230). Get a 1TB minimum. 3: Upgrade that 8gb ram to 32gb (2x16gb). Assuming this is a clearance laptop with ddr4, that 8gb it has now is not enough for Win11 and daily use - Windows takes up to 5GB on its own, the remaining 3 will be eaten by a browser tab in chrome or firefox. In addition, your onboard graphics can eat up to 2GB of RAM as well, so you’re strangled by that small RAM amount no matter what. Don’t be shy about slamming more than you need - it’s future proofing. 4: look up your hp model on their website and get the service manual. It shows you how to rebuild the laptop from the frame up. Use this to figure out how to unbolt the back panel. 5: While you’re there, look at the specs - what kind of ram, how much it accepts, and what ssd it has.

I once setup MikroTik routers… they were cool, but the ipv6 implementation required manual intervention - this is not something you want with an isp that dynamically rotates their ipv6 addresses often. Once I discovered pfSense/OPNSense, it was so much better in configurability and ease of upgrade, as those OSses are FreeBSD-based and designed to run on PCs.

This, right here, has been my experience every time.

Also when you run a complicated setup with over a dozen VLANs, policy routing for failover internet on specific vlans, and nat66 support due to secondary internet only giving you a /64, yeah… not fun having to set all that up because the updater breaks, yeah… no.

Every single time I’ve setup OpenWRT, keeping it updated was much more painful than anything else, even ASUS WRT-Merlin was easier to keep updated.

I use Unifi Access Points for wifi

OpenWRT is cool, but I prefer OPNSense because unlike OpenWRT, you can actually upgrade OPNSense in its UI without requiring linux partition surgery.

All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.

“¡Muchos gracias, señor!”

Incredible. It’s entertaining in the way watching a slow motion train wreck is entertaining.

Considering if I should pull out of the ACA plan (not renew) or stay in and hope they don’t touch it come 2025. If they make any cuts or kill it, I will not be able to pay for the plan on my own, even a very low dollar one. Living’s overrated anyway, if my health goes in the gutter after 2025, RIP me I guess.

Gemini eats glue. Claude and ChatGPT are a lot more coherent.

I hope, so much, but with the way people in the red have been, “love your neighbor as yourself” is almost an exception rather than the rule it should be.

Kids these days won’t experience the dialup days…
