shudder I’m having VBA flashbacks…

The 2 stands for on 2 different mediums. So HDD and tape for instance. Or HDD and SSD. Or SSD and DVDs. Whatever combo you choose that fits your needs. This (minimizes) the chance of loss of both.

Not trying to be a smartass, but what’s the alternative?

Article has been updated, this appears to have been a false alarm:

Nicholas Wu of Politico wrote that DC Metro Metropolitan Police spokesperson Hugh Carew said that the evacuation of the building took place after a call reporting an active shooter but that it “appears to be a bad call” and that “no injuries and no shooter were located”.

I use FreshRSS and the FeedMe Android app. While FeedMe isn’t on Fdroid you can download the APK directly from their releases page on github: https://github.com/seazon/FeedMe/releases

It’s been working extremely well for me the past month or so.

The article touches on that part actually right at the end:

As for legality of taking drone pictures over a house? California state law only forbids that if you’re specifically doing so as a sort of peeping tom.

What legal issues would they be opening themselves up to? All airspace in the US is regulated by the FAA. As long as they weren’t in restricted airspace, following all the regulations, and the operator had the proper part 107 license there is nothing illegal about using a drone in this manner. There have been various discussions over the years about “owning” airspace over ones property but nothing has even gone to court that I’m aware of. Not to mention the company could have well seen onto the persons property while being over public space (I.E. the road).

I’m not arguing if this was right or wrong, but I see nothing illegal here.

As long as you are just doing capture and aren’t attempting to do anything where a re-encode of the video stream is needed then absolutely. You’ll need something other than a microSD card though to write the video too.

I believe I’m at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:

• Plex
• Vaultwarden
• Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
• NPM
• Pihole
• All the “arr” stuff
• Nextcloud
• Portainer
• FreshRSS

There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.

I’m going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that’s going to have to wait, lol.

By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.
