That is a good post and I hadn’t heard of the T2S+ before. But it costs $300+ and is around 50K pixels (256x192). I see that an 160x120 FLIR Lepton module is $184 these days (Digikey). So this new stuff is competitive but not revolutionary imho. It’s good that the FLIR monopoly is finally broken though. All that existed earlier other than FLIR was very low res devices.

$11/m is a lot. If you just want a small site on shared hosting, try namecrane.com. For storage use Hetzner Storage Box.

I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.

If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.

Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.

Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.

There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.
