Restrictions under consultation include curfews for young users and wider restrictions on children’s access to online services, with implications across internet services from video games, VPNs to even static websites.

Age assurance mandates risk cementing the dominance of gatekeeper app stores, operating systems, and platforms’ walled gardens.

Joint Statement: UK policymakers must prioritise addressing the roots of online harm, not undermining the open web

Hi all! i finally come around publishing a small side project i am running at my home for the last few years. This past month i have revamped it by rewriting the C++ backend and improving the web UI (single page HTML+CSS+AlpineJS) for a broader public.

LazyNVR is a different take on hosting webcams and centralizing access to them. Instead of working on the cameras feed, which is CPU/GPU heavy and doesn't scale much, it relies on cameras on-board capabilities to detect motion and upload recorded videos to your own server.

If you own IP cameras from brands like Dahua, Reolink and many others, you can leverage their on board motion detection capabilities and off-load your server computational power using LazyNVR.

I have some 15 cameras and tools like Frigate or MotionEye just kill my server CPU, but all my cameras can detect motions and automatically record a video and upload it to my server using different protocols (like FTP, sftp, and such). So LazyNVR was born.

The server is written in C++ and basically detect incoming videos, recode (without re-encoding) them to an MP4 web streammable format, and store them well sorted. It will also keep your incoming folders clean and purge stored videos when they are too old. The server will also fetch and refresh still live images from the cameras.

The client is a WEB GUI, actually a single HTML file with CSS and some AlpineJS, which will show the still live images and the list of all the recorded videos letting you download or view them directly.

I am running over 15 cameras from my RaspPi with basically 0% CPU overhead.

I have published LazyNVR on Codeberg (here https://codeberg.org/LazyNVR/lazynvr-sources) because well, i think it's better than GitHub. And there is also a pretty lazy web site on https://www.lazynvr.it/ (which mostly redirect to Codeberg).

Currently there are docker images for AMD64 and ARM64, but it's pretty easy to compile directly, with the provided instructions in the Codeberg Wiki.

Please, feel free to try it!

Mandatory AI disclaimer: i don't use AI for coding. Zero code (C++ or Javscript) has been written by or with AI support in this project. I have used AI extensively for the CSS stuff that i hate, but reviewed and mostly edited it anyway. I have also used AI for research and to write the dockerfile faster, since i am no docker expert. I have personally written the dockerfile anyway, and personally tested as well. The logo has been created with AI, probably it shows.

Ben Gilbert describes himself on Bluesky, the social media app, as an “economist, lit and guitar nerd, rugby fan, owner of excessive pets.” A professor at the Colorado School of Mines, he rarely posts, but when he does, the subjects reflect his expertise in natural resources.

So it was odd when a video purporting to be a news report appeared on his account last month, blaming France’s financial and political support for Ukraine for police staff shortages at home.

Without his knowledge, Mr. Gilbert said, he had fallen victim to Russia’s latest tactic to try to spread its propaganda in the West.

His account, like hundreds of others on Bluesky, had been hijacked and used to post fake news articles, according to the company and researchers at Clemson University working with a collective of internet monitors who track Russian influence operations and call themselves the dTeam.

The bike was rebuilt after getting t-boned by a red-light runner in January of 2024 which destroyed the bike, broke my pelvis, snapped my left femur, turned my left tibia and fibula into a jigsaw puzzle of seven major pieces, and shattered my right knee's condyle.

Now I've got 39 titanium pins, screws, bolts, rods, and a plate inside me, but am back on the bike. First ride was December of 2024, 11 months after getting hit. Nearly every part was salvaged from the old bike, only having to replace mudguards and a tacoed rear wheel.

At some point I'll have to put together a timeline post of the wrecked bike, x-rays, and this rebuilt one.

Customers enduring the long wait for their T1 phone from Trump Mobile might have also had their personal data exposed on the carrier’s website. 

TrumpMobile.com apparently contains an exploitable software flaw that can leak data, including emails, physical addresses, and full names, according to YouTubers Coffeezilla and Cr1TiKaL. ……
