  • I have to disagree with you here, you can’t group police unions described in my last comment to, say, coal miner unions which got the miners and their families paid in US dollars, got them out of broken down and expensive company housing, raised their wages to living levels, and generally raised generations of entire regions out of poverty before the mines were automated or shut down.

    ETA: Also, other types of unions don’t terrorize civilians when they don’t vet their way, other types of unions hurt the BOSSES and capitalists and are generally integrated into the community, not trying to lord over it.






















  • Peanut gallery here but I have a couple questions about IP cameras and what the recommended setup exactly looks like. If you or someone else could answer them it would be greatly appreciated.

    1. You were saying in your first comment that you would recommend getting one of the infamous 10 year old servers with redundant power supplies specifically for this. On said server:

      a. How much RAM would you recommend to start? Most of those servers still use DDR3/4 so it shouldn’t be too god awfully expensive.

      b. What OS setup would you recommend? Ubuntu Server/CLI Debian, or something like adding the server to a Proxmox cluster and running a resource-heavy VM with GPU and HDD pass through?

    2. As far as the client end of the monitoring stack, would you recommend a Raspberry Pi with a cheap-ish monitor that acts as a dedicated client for this, or an open port or firewall rule which allows a web client to be accessible via the rest of your LAN?
