Maybe a controversial take, but I like pihole for blocking only - I have a pair of powerDNS servers set up for my internal name resolution. They recurse to Pihole, but can fall back to internet DNS servers if Pihole isn't responsive.

I tried pihole for local resolution and found it to be a fairly large pain to automate. Plus kubes has PDNS hooks for auto-updating DNS entries.

I have dyndns. I don't recommend them, unless a coworker just gave you their lifetime pro account for free.

Thanks Roody, wherever you are!

No, in addition to the reasons brought up by the other commenters, I'm starting to think that "computers as a service" will start to be a thing.

Google's Stadia by all accounts wasn't horrible, but it was pricey and the selection was subpar.

But what if Amazon, Azure, and Google start up some post-AI burst equivalent that provides a use case for all that processing power? Sure, the GPUs used by commercial AI aren't designed for gaming, but Nvidia could see the writing on the wall and start partnering with hyper scalers to create massive racks of gaming GPUs. And it would be one step closer to the ultimate goal of removing personal ownership of things! Pay a subscription for a cloud gaming PC or try your luck on building your own.

Unifi Protect is what runs on the CloudKey/NVR physical device - you don't need to have it go through to the Internet.

Remember, for better or worse Ubiquiti is positioning themselves as SMB Enterprise security - some companies won't want their footage to be accessible outside their network.

This is maybe controversial, but I love the Ubiquiti security stuff. Cameras (interior and exterior) doorbells, etc, it's all great. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

And the data can stay local or be accessible via their services.

I chose to go local only, grabbed their UNVR and populated it with 4x 2TB drives and it has enough space to handle 7 cameras HD history for about a month.

When he said that, I instantly felt jealous.

I'm convinced an utter lack of empathy is the reason why there's a constant 40% support of Trump.

How many times do you read stories about some Republican politician or right winger suddenly be not as horrid toward "the gays" because their kid came out? (Admittedly, that seems to happen a whole lot less now)

These people just can't put themselves in the shoes of anyone who isn't exactly like them.

Maybe she could snag Hillary as a running mate!

Or if reading isn't their jam, head to explainshell.

I'm not going to say this shit isn't hard - it can be challenging starting out if you don't know where to look. But come on, at this point everyone should know ChatGPT gets shit wrong often enough not to trust it.

Sam Altman will be watching this case with interest. Maybe he can get a new round of funding from this guy.
