Hello selfhosters!

I have what is hopefully a simple ask. I am looking for some outdoor cameras for my sister, who is not at all tech savvy. I am, to an extent, and I'd like to get her set up with a small, remotely-manageable system to view and record the outside of her home. I'd wager there's a plethora of selfhost software that can be run on a number of systems (I'm thinking something cheap like a Raspberry Pi), to connect to an external HDD for camera storage.

I'm also looking for camera suggestions for this purpose. Wi-Fi cameras are ideal, since we don't have the means to run ethernet for PoE.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you all have a wonderful week :)

i'm trying to setup nginx to run as a proxy to aggregate multiple services. running on different ports on the server, using nginx to let me connect to all the services by going to a specific subdirectory. so i can keep only one port open in the router between my lab and the main house network.

i'm using the following config file from an example i found to do this, with a landing page to let me get to the other services:

# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

ssl_certificate /certs/cert.pem;  # Path to your SSL certificate
ssl_certificate_key /certs/key.pem;  # Path to your SSL certificate key

location / {
    root /var/www/html;  # Path to the directory containing your HTML file
    index index.html;  # Default file to serve
}


location /transbt {
#configuration for transmission
    proxy_pass http://10.89.0.3:9091/;  
proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

but the problem i'm having is that, while nginx does redirect to transmission's login prompt just fine, after logging in it tries to redirect me to 10.0.0.114:1403/transmission/web instead of remaining in 10.0.0.114:1403/transbt and breaks the page. i've found a configuration file that should work, but it manually redirects each subdirectory transmission tries to use, and adds proxy_pass_header X-Transmission-Session-Id; which i'm not sure what's accomplishing: github gist

is there a way to do it without needing to declare it explicitly for each subdirectory? especially since i need to setup other services, and i doubt i'll find config files for those as well it's my first time setting up nginx, and i haven't been able to find anything to make it work.

Edit: I forgot to mention. The server is still inside of a nat. It's not reachable by the outside. The SSL certificate is self signed and it's just a piece of mind because a lot of things connect to the home net. And none of the services I plan to use only support http.

The last two years have witnessed the hottest one in history, some of the worst wildfire seasons across Canada, Europe and South America and deadly flooding and heat waves throughout the globe. Over that same period, the world’s largest fossil fuel producers have expanded their planned output for the future, setting humanity on an even more dangerous path into a warmer climate.

Governments now expect to produce more than twice as much coal, oil and gas in 2030 as would be consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement, according to a report released Monday. That level is slightly higher than what it was in 2023, the last time the biennial Production Gap report was published.

The increase is driven by a slower projected phaseout of coal and higher outlook for gas production by some of the top producers, including China and the United States.

Why save a bunch of kids and HIV positive people when you can save FX traders?

I've tested the game on PC and mobile. I could not get a controller working on PC, so you'll have to rely on keyboard inputs. However, there are touch controls if you play in a mobile browser, which means you can play on your phone any time you want, since the game is free.

I recently upgraded my network from a basic router to a Netgear GS108E Gigabit switch. Backups are now way faster, which is great… but now I’ve run into a new problem.

I run Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) in a VM on one of my servers (let’s call it Proxmox 2). PBS has 100 GB of cache storage since I’m using S3 as a datastore - it stores chunks locally before uploading to S3.

Here’s the issue: I try to backup a VM from another server (Proxmox 1). The VM’s storage is 300 GB, but actual usage is under 30 GB. Everything works fine until it hits 34% (104 GB of data). At that point, the PBS VM and the host server itself become completely unreachable. I have to force power off and restart.

I understand why PBS might crash – my VM has 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, and my internet is only around 60–70 Mbps—but why would the host server hang as well?

Has anyone experienced something like this? Could it be networking, storage, or something else in Proxmox causing the host to become unresponsive when PBS gets busy? Any ideas or advice would be appreciated!

Am I right lads or am I right lads?

I learned what non violent communication is a day ago and I'm using it to mend a friendship.

Have you however used it at the workplace?

I find it unpractical: there are so many things to do at the workplace and the last thing stressed people with deadlines need is to have a conversation about feelings, but maybe I'm wrong?

A question for nurses working bedside: do you actually use non violent communication at your ward with your patients and actually have time to do your other duties, like charting, preparing infusions and meds, dealing with providers, insurance, the alcoholic who fights you, the demented one who constantly tries to leave the unit, the one who wants to leave ama (against medical advice)?

UK experts have condemned “fearmongering” in the US after it was reported Donald Trump’s administration will say there is a link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism.

Scientists have hit back, with one saying the claim “risks stigmatising families who have autistic children as having brought it on themselves”.

The Wall Street Journal reported that US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is expected to say Tylenol – which is paracetamol in the UK – is a potential cause of autism.
