Privacy-Friendly Security Cameras Recs
Hello all, I'm in the market for a privacy-respecting security doorbell camera and a wide view camera with the following features: (not all of them are required, however)
-Motion detection
-Decent sized local storage*( I saw one that came with a 2TB drive but I don't think they had a cloud storage)
-Cloud storage* (no subscriptions would be great)
I briefly looked at the r/privacy and a lot of recommendations have third parties like Amazon web services for their cloud storage which I don't feel very comfortable with. I'm looking forward to hearing about the products you guys swear by.
Thanks.

Supreme Court to run out of funding due to shutdown
The Supreme Court is about to run out of money, and federal courts across the country are expected to run out by early next week because of the government shutdown.
The nation’s top court “expects to run out of funding on October 18,” Patricia McCabe, Supreme Court public information officer, told The Hill.
“As a result, the Supreme Court Building will be closed to the public until further notice. The Building will remain open for official business,” McCabe continued.

From 2028: EU expands USB-C mandate to chargers
The European Commission has revised the Ecodesign requirements for external power supplies (EPS). The new rules aim to increase consumer convenience, resource efficiency, and energy efficiency. Manufacturers have three years to prepare for the changes.The new regulations apply to external power supplies that charge or power devices such as laptops, smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, and computer monitors. Starting in 2028, these products must meet higher energy efficiency standards and become more interoperable. Specifically, USB chargers on the EU market must have at least one USB Type-C port and function with detachable cables.
With the regulation, the EU is also establishing minimum requirements for the efficiency of power supplies with an output power of up to 240 watts that charge via USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), among other things, under other things, minimum requirements. Power supplies with an output power exceeding 10 watts will also have to meet minimum energy efficiency values in partial load operation (10 percent of rated power) in the future, which is intended to reduce unnecessary energy losses.
Interestingly,
This article was originally published in German. It was translated with technical assistance and editorially reviewed before publication.
I was rather surprised to see a Heise story linked off Slashdot, but this is a great use of technology to broaden the audience. Way less friction than every user needing a browser plugin for translation.
Historically, the charger situation has been, well, a shitshow. I've had more than a few devices over the years where the proprietary cable died, and getting a replacement was so cost prohibitive that just buying a replacement device that came with one was the more logical move.
USB-PD kinda seems like the silver bullet here. Though I'm not sure that's true unless further regulations require all USB-C cables to be able to provide 240W, and even then, there will be a long tail on older cables still being in use.
But this could be game changing in like a decade. Imagine charging with any cable and any DC converter. We'll look back on this mess as though different devices required proprietary wall outlets!
Meanwhile, here in the states, regulators are much more concerned about inflatable frog suits than any lurch toward sustainability.

Hamas in Japan: Cosplayers dressing up as Qassam fighters go viral
Japanese cosplayers, in support of Gaza and Palestine, have gone viral for dressing up as members of Hamas’ military wing al-Qassam Brigades.
Several pictures and videos were shared online of Japanese citizens wearing fully decked-out military camouflage gear in addition to the famous green headband worn by Hamas fighters.
One of them showed a cosplayer surrounded by police, with one reporter from Tokyo saying the man was arrested, without providing further details.
The pictures come amid massive protests in Japan in support of Gaza against the ‘Israeli’ aggression on the Gaza Strip, with one noticeable protest outside the ‘Israeli’ embassy on the second anniversary of October 7, where there were clashes with the police as demonstrators tried to pass the barrier to get closer to the embassy.

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation.
New documents and court records obtained by EFF show that Texas deputies queried Flock Safety's surveillance data in an abortion investigation, contradicting the narrative promoted by the company and the Johnson County Sheriff that she was “being searched for as a missing person,” and that “it was about her safety.”The new information shows that deputies had initiated a "death investigation" of a "non-viable fetus," logged evidence of a woman’s self-managed abortion, and consulted prosecutors about possibly charging her.
Johnson County Sheriff Adam King repeatedly denied the automated license plate reader (ALPR) search was related to enforcing Texas's abortion ban, and Flock Safety called media accounts "false," "misleading" and "clickbait." However, according to a sworn affidavit by the lead detective, the case was in fact a death investigation in response to a report of an abortion, and deputies collected documentation of the abortion from the "reporting person," her alleged romantic partner. The death investigation remained open for weeks, with detectives interviewing the woman and reviewing her text messages about the abortion.
The documents show that the Johnson County District Attorney's Office informed deputies that "the State could not statutorily charge [her] for taking the pill to cause the abortion or miscarriage of the non-viable fetus."

Netanyahu refuses to open Rafah crossing – violating the ceasefire agreement
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/85705
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday 18 October that he had decided to keep the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt closed until further notice, despite the Palestinian embassy in Cairo’s earlier announcement that the crossing would open on Monday.
Rafah Crossing remains closed by Israel
Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the opening of the crossing would be linked to ‘Hamas’s commitment to its role’ in handing over the bodies of Israeli detainees in Gaza, as well as ‘the implementation of the agreed framework,’ without providing further details. As the Canary previously reported, Hamas handing over Israeli bodies was not part of the ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, Israel has so-far violated this 47 times itself.For its part, the government media office in Gaza accused Israel of obstructing the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire agreement, continuing to close the crossings and preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid, calling on the international guarantors of the agreement to intervene immediately to ensure that the commitments are implemented.
Adnan Abu Hasna, spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), pointed out that thousands of trucks loaded with humanitarian aid are still waiting for permission to enter the Gaza Strip, saying:
There are about 6,000 trucks carrying food and basic supplies stuck at the crossings, in addition to large quantities of medicines and medical supplies waiting to be brought in to meet the emergency needs of the population.Abu Hasna added that the delay in opening the crossings is exacerbating the humanitarian situation in the Strip and threatening the lives of thousands of civilians, especially the sick and injured who need urgent care.
The Palestinian Embassy in Cairo announced that the Rafah crossing would be opened on Monday to allow Palestinians residing in Egypt who wish to return to Gaza to register via a dedicated electronic application, and that they would be notified later of the times and places to gather to move towards the crossing.
Breaching the ceasefire
It is noteworthy that on 9 October, Israel and Hamas reached an agreement on a ceasefire and prisoner exchange in accordance with US President Donald Trump’s plan, and the first phase of the agreement was activated the following day. The agreement stipulates that all Gaza Strip crossings, especially Rafah, will be opened to the movement of individuals and humanitarian aid, with the participation of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, and under US supervision.This comes after two years of genocide waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023, with US support, resulting in the martyrdom of 68,116 Palestinians, the injury of 170,200 others, and the destruction of more than 90% of the infrastructure in the Strip.

OpenAI Needs $400 Billion In The Next 12 Months
OpenAI Needs $400 Billion In The Next 12 Months
Hello readers! This premium edition features a generous free intro because I like to try and get some of the info out there, but the real indepth stuff is below the cut. Nevertheless, I deeply appreciate anyone subscribing.Edward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)
I'll break down why this whole OpenAI situation is a five-alarm fire of pure, unadulterated bullshit for people too lazy to read the whole thing (although you really should). Sam Altman is running what is essentially the world’s most expensive and dangerous confidence game, and everyone in the media and tech world is just nodding along.
First, let’s talk about the sheer, mind-boggling scale of the promises. OpenAI, a company that is hemorrhaging cash, has committed to building 250 gigawatts of data center capacity by 2033. To put that in perspective, the entire global data center capacity right now is about 55GW. So Altman is promising to build almost five times the entire world’s current infrastructure in just eight years. The cost for this fantasy? Roughly $10 trillion. That is not a typo. That’s one-third of the entire US GDP. It’s a number so large it becomes meaningless, like a child saying they want a billion ice creams.
Now, let’s get into the immediate, short-term insanity. In the next year alone, to even begin fulfilling the deals they’ve announced with Broadcom, NVIDIA, and AMD, OpenAI needs to secure about $400 billion. Let that number sink in. That’s more than the total global venture capital raised in all of 2024. It’s more than five times what Amazon spent to build AWS. And they need this cash almost immediately because building a single gigawatt data center takes years and billions of dollars upfront. There’s also no evidence these data center projects have even broken ground, making the promised 2026 deployment dates a physical impossibility.
The financials are even more horrifying. OpenAI is burning money at a catastrophic rate of $6.7 billion on R&D in just six months, with a huge chunk of that spent on research for models they never even released. Their revenue is a fraction of their costs, and they’re on track to spend $40 billion on compute contracts alone. It’s a monstrosity that threatens to suck all the oxygen out of the Western financial system, requiring trillion-dollar annual investments that would eclipse global private equity deals.
The whole house of cards is built on blatant lies and market manipulation. Some verifiable lies include Altman claiming they magically acquired 1.7GW of capacity from nowhere (which is equivalent to all the data centers in the UK) and promising deployments in locations that don’t exist.
It’s a scam of historic proportions that will inevitably collapse and take the market down with it.

Looking for IPTV resources
Where do I go to find resellers/providers who won't rip me off? I had one that was fine for a year plus, but it's gone under. I found it in a random forum.

Don't give me direct links to any actual providers, unless I misread the rules. DM is fine though ;)
Since last I checked, every IPTV sub on Reddit was banned. The ones that are left are mostly bots.
Very much on my mind too is where we can talk about this shit now if it's not Reddit or Lemmy.
Thanks. I found a couple of reseller places. Trying a couple out.

Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?
Like many researchers, Gerlich believes that, used in the right way, AI can make us cleverer and more creative – but the way most people use it produces bland, unimaginative, factually questionable work. One concern is the so-called “anchoring effect”. If you post a question to generative AI, the answer it gives you sets your brain on a certain mental path and makes you less likely to consider alternative approaches. “I always use the example: imagine a candle. Now, AI can help you improve the candle. It will be the brightest ever, burn the longest, be very cheap and amazing looking, but it will never develop to the lightbulb,” he says.To get from the candle to a lightbulb you need a human who is good at critical thinking, someone who might take a chaotic, unstructured, unpredictable approach to problem solving. When, as has happened in many workplaces, companies roll out tools such as the chatbot Copilot without offering decent AI training, they risk producing teams of passable candle-makers in a world that demands high-efficiency lightbulbs.
There is also the bigger issue that adults who use AI as a shortcut have at least benefited from going through the education system in the years before it was possible to get a computer to write your homework for you. One recent British survey found that 92% of university students use AI, and about 20% have used AI to write all or part of an assignment for them.
Under these circumstances, how much are they learning? Are schools and universities still equipped to produce creative, original thinkers who will build better, more intelligent societies – or is the education system going to churn out mindless, gullible, AI essay-writing drones?

Democrats Have Let Republicans Become the “Peace” Party
Trump has succeeded where Biden failed in bringing some measure of peace to the region. The risk to Democrats is not so much that Trump will woo more Democratic constituents to the Republican Party — Trump’s authoritarian tendencies at home and his vile persecution of all perceived political enemies largely foreclose that possibility. The risk, rather, is that Americans who care about peacemaking abroad will find themselves increasingly alienated from both parties. Trump’s successful diplomatic efforts have put the lie to the idea that there was nothing Biden and the Democrats could have done to end the massacre in Gaza, seriously undermining any claim that Democrats might make as the party of peace.
Some Democrats seem to understand what a dire bind the party has put itself in. Representative Ro Khanna, for example, recently sounded the alarm about Democrats ceding the “anti-war” mantle to Republicans and Trump. Others, like Representative Delia Ramirez, have put this opposition to war-making into legislation, authoring the aforementioned Block the Bombs Act.
But, for the Democrats to truly turn the ship around, many more elected representatives will have to follow in the footsteps of Khanna and Ramirez. If the party cannot quickly change its tune on war and peace, it may risk ceding this policy terrain to the Republican Party well into the future.

What we know about the torture, abuse of Palestinian prisoners by zionists
Most of the bodies of the more than 100 dead Palestinians Israel released remain unidentified.
They were sent back to Gaza with numbers instead of their names, leaving family members of missing Palestinians to pore desperately through pictures of the bodies, hoping to spot their loved ones.
One thing is clear from the marks left on these bodies, and the blindfolds and handcuffs still on some of them: They had been tortured before their deaths, possibly executed.

Gaza receives total of 135 Palestinian bodies stolen by zionists
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Saturday that it had received 15 remains from the Red Cross that had been held in Israeli custody.
This brings the total number of Palestinian bodies handed over by Israel to the besieged enclave to 135.
As with previous batches, some of the bodies show signs of torture.
So far, seven have been identified by their families.
Families of medical personnel from Gaza abducted by Israel demand their release
Data from the government media office in the blockaded strip revealed that Israel has arrested 362 medical personnel during the two-year genocidal war on Gaza.
Meanwhile, at least 1,670 medical personnel have been killed by Israel since October 2023.
Israel commits 47 violations since Gaza truce came into effect nine days ago
The government media office in Gaza said in a press statement that Israel committed 47 breaches of the truce deal since it came into effect last week.
The violations have led to the killing of at least 38 Palestinians and the wounding of 143 others.
"These violations varied between crimes of direct fire on civilians, crimes of deliberate bombing and targeting, and the arrest of a number of civilian citizens, practices that reflect the occupation's continued aggressive approach despite the declaration of a ceasefire," the office added.
"We note that these attacks were carried out by the occupation forces using military vehicles and tanks positioned on the outskirts of residential neighborhoods, electronic cranes equipped with sensors and remote targeting devices, and drones (quadcopters) that continue to fly over residential areas, carrying out shooting operations and directly targeting civilians."

Unfortunately, The Ceasefire Isn’t the End Of Our Struggle "Yet"
After so many hard days living in a torn tent in the South, finally returning to Gaza City felt like a small miracle. Just getting back, seeing familiar streets, hearing familiar sounds, it brought us a happiness we didn’t think we’d feel again so soon.
For a moment, we allowed ourselves to hope that the suffering was over. That maybe, just maybe, the worst had passed. But reality hit quickly. The ceasefire stops the bombs, yes but it doesn’t magically fix homes, livelihoods, or daily life.
I see people abroad thinking that with the announcement of the ceasefire, everything is fine for us. We hope that it brings peace. We want it to. But that is not the case. Life is still incredibly hard. Our house in the North is destroyed. Our kitchen is gone. Even small things like cooking, buying food, affording basic necessities remain impossible for many families like mine.
I swear to God that we walk through markets, staring at fruits and vegetables we can’t afford. We see life moving around us, and it feels surreal like the world has moved forward, but we’re still trying to catch up.
Even with the ceasefire, the struggle continues. Every family is starting over from nothing. Every day is a fight to survive, to rebuild, to find a moment of peace amid ruins.
If you want to help, even a little goes a long way. Even a small donation is doing us a big favor. And spreading our story, sharing, or simply refusing to forget us makes a difference.
Thank you for standing with us. For refusing to turn away. For reminding us that even after the hardest days, people care.
My account will always be the voice of the unheard people in Gaza. 🫂❤️

in reply to irmadlad • • •Certainly! My threat model is mainly against mass surveillance, so this is my view: If there is a surveillance camera recording in a place where there is reasonable expectation of having no strangers, I am mostly fine with that. As you mentioned, if it is only recording your own private property where no strangers are meant to be, that is your business.
However, if it is recording a space where there is reason to expect strangers to be there without violating private property (e.g. stores, doorsteps, sidewalks) that is not ok. Simply, I should not be in the crossfire of your surveillance. I don't know your intentions with the footage, and I don't know who else may have access to it. It shouldn't be my job to cover up just because you want to violate the public's right to privacy.
You can see this post of mine about my views on the expectation of privacy in public. I made it about a year ago, and I haven't read back over it, so it may be outdated or less refined than I'd prefer.
I am a huge advocate for the right to privacy, so I don't have any surveillance cameras of my own. When I have friends over, I want to lead by example and make my space a private space for them too. Instead of funding more surveillance, we should be funding stronger locks and better deterrents that don't violate human rights.

in reply to The 8232 Project • • •Well, that certainly is a different take than I'm used to. I sometimes fail to realize that most of the population live in fairly tight quarters, especially in housing developments, etc. Their coverage would entail an acre maybe a little more or a little less and even a doorbell cam has a pretty wide field of vision. So I could understand that concern. Where as, I have some acreage to mother hen. Barns, equipment, etc. and I have zero tolerance for a person who would walk onto my property and steal from me. I'll help a brother out as best I can, but if you steal from me that's going to get you in some troubled water.

I already have other UniFi gear for networking and it was natural to add cameras to the system.
