getting a #webcam to #selfhosting: “How I changed my #D-Link camera from cloud camera to a locally managed IP camera” “All of my IP cameras just FTP to my server where they get immediately uploaded to my google drive. It works perfectly and it’s cheap but they’re still Chinese cameras connected to the Internet. / Is there a list of cameras that can be converted like this?” “Wyze V2 with Dafang-hacks have been super reliable in the past but these cams are now out of production with no reliable confirmation of this working with the V3s.” “I have been using wz_mini_hacks [1] on my Wyze V3 and have been pretty happy with it.” “I run frigate (mines runs off their Docker image but you can use other alternatives like home assistant plugin). I also pair frigate with scrypted so you can tie the cameras into HomeKit.” “Not OP, but I configured a mosquitto server. Then a simple shell script service with 'mosquitto_sub' and ffmpeg to fetch the rtsp stream on motion events.” “I've been using Agent DVR for recording, alerts and local storage though the alerts rely on a non-local MQTT broker (HiveMQ) due to the double-NAT setup my ISP imposes, otherwise I would have used a local Mosquitto broker.” “You can get Amcrest PoE cameras that are great quality that are around $50. Works without wifi or an app but someone in HN posted that the newer ones need an app? But I haven’t come across one and the newest one I got was about six months ago.” “Most xiaomi camera and white labels mostly work. I side load the customer firmware on a Yi camera and it’s been a solid wifi camera. The VLAN it’s on has zero internet access.” #privacy #security #surveillance

#Rust on #ESP32 and other #Espressif #embedded #hardware. “This is the next quarterly update of esp-rs effort, detailing the progress over Q2 2023.”
Paul Graham #pg on how to do “great work”. “There's a kind of excited curiosity that's both the engine and the rudder of great work.” Thought-provoking and interesting as usual.

#Tutorial #introduction to #ARM #asm using gas, directed toward #GameBoy Advance hacking. A bit rough-and-ready but only 22000 words. Covers add, ldr, ldmia, b, cmp, mov, lsl, lsr, asr, ror, sub, strh, bl, bx, conditions (-ne, -lt, and -ge), the -s suffix for setting flags, conditional instructions, the (even-bit-shifted) byte-sized immediate limitation, inline shifts, write-back (preincrement and postincrement) addressing mode, and Thumb, and finally the whole instruction set and a GBA optimization guide.
