You could use any trustworthy sync service with automatic camera uploads, but they will all wait until the video has finished recording before uploading it. Ideally there would be an app that streams live to a remote server that’s recording. There used to be. A sync service might be second best though.
Do any dash cams stream to the cloud or a self-hosted server? If the police spot the dashcam they may just delete the footage.
You need something that streams to a secure server, so the police can’t just delete the video.
There are tarpits like Nepenthes but they use up your CPU resources and I imagine it would be pretty easy to update a scraper to recognize these generated pages, since they’re all structurally similar.
Don’t you have to install that? I thought Ubuntu came with vi and nano.
A laptop should easily handle a database of 60,000 rows. I run much bigger databases on my own laptop for development purposes.
This is the kind of thing I used to see under /r/upliftingnews on the other site, along with Americans failing to notice how dystopian it looks to the rest of the world.
Just like all the BIOSes that have turned out to be using keys called things like TEST ONLY - NOT FOR PRODUCTION, rendering Secure Boot not. I have a couple of computers like this.
He wasn’t worth the trouble.
I bumped into the CEO again about 10 years later at a funeral. He was thoroughly obnoxious and spent the time making fun of the deceased (a colleague of ours) and taunting my friend about how many hours he had tricked him into working for free. Then he bragged about his current business and its success. Really one of the most awful people I’ve ever met.
That wasn’t the first deceased colleague of ours he had disrespected. We had a very skilled but very obedient guy working on our team - call him Jim - whose brother (also an colleague) was terminally ill in hospital. These brothers were good guys and popular with all their colleagues. One day Jim got the message that his brother had taken a turn for the worse and might not have much longer, so he asked his manager if he could take the afternoon off to visit his brother. Word came down from Mr. CEO: no, Jim was needed in the office so could not have the afternoon off. Being a loyal employee, Jim stayed. His brother died that evening and he didn’t get to say goodbye. I left the company soon after that.
Miserable as this all was, it was a good lesson in just how self-centred and self-important some people are. This CEO is now very wealthy and still goes through life convinced he’s a success and we’re all losers who don’t know how to do life like he does. He’ll probably never figure out the truth.
I’ve never had a boss who didn’t do this. Promise, set timeline and price, get contracts signed, then come to the development team to ask whether it’s possible to do by Wednesday. Many years ago I had a boss who promised a major client that we’d provide an entire online advertising network to rival Google Ads, and gave us 4 days to design, develop and deliver it. Then when it wasn’t ready he threw one of the developers under the bus in a meeting with the customer. He actually used the words, “This is Dave’s fault.” Dave was professional and didn’t argue. Good look for a CEO. I’m sure he thought he had won. The project went nowhere because all the execs had different ideas about what it was supposed to do, and the dev team was oddly unmotivated to help them out.
I don’t think you can call landlines from it though.
I only used Skype for one thing: cheap calls from Canada to international landlines with no time limit and without having to pay a monthly subscription. Can anyone recommend a good alternative? A lot of the options out there look a bit scammy.
Smart to stop at 5pm. I keep thinking “I’m almost there - just another 15 minutes” until way too late.
The ethical route, ie “white hat”, is to contact the owners about the exploit with a fixed period disclosure. Ie, “fix this in 30-90 days, or we will publish our method”.
I’m not sure that is the ethical route when you’re talking about disrupting the operations of a Nazi-led government.
Anyone who leaves a message in full view to announce they’ve accessed the system isn’t the real danger. If whoever this is could get in, so can the real experts from China, Russia, North Korea, etc. There’s no way Musk’s DOGE people, in their destructive haste, have taken any care over security. It’s even likely his team of punchable kids put in their own backdoors, thinking they were being clever. If and when foreign adversaries find their way in through those, they’re not putting up an announcement.
Not all of these mini PCs have a wifi card in them even if they have the antennas for it. You might start by opening it to check whether the wifi antennas are connected, or whether you need to add a WiFi card.
I think OPNsense would do what you’re looking for. I use it on a mini PC as my router, and it’s great, but I have not used it for WiFi (I run a separate access point). The limitation is WiFi hardware support. You will need to make sure your mini PC’s WiFi card has a driver in FreeBSD. Intel hardware is often a better bet than Realtek etc.
