This is just for city of Los Angeles, which is a small portion of Los Angeles county, let alone the entire state of California.

NVR = Network Video Recorder. It’s the box that has the hard drive(s) to record all the video streams coming in from the cameras over WiFi or Ethernet.

I have a Reolink setup that’s entirely air-gapped. No app required, just configure everything through the NVR unit.

Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.

“Line goes up because I said so, for the companies that bribe me enough.”

The sign in the right says “bees”, but the picture shows a creature with eight legs, two body segments, and no wings. That’s no bee, that’s a spider!

Ah, the classic “all eggs in one basket” strategy.

There’s still a few days left to file comments objecting to the change. Link in the article.

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Still waiting for ISO timestamp support in OmegaStar.

UTC has leap seconds. We can do better. PTP/TAI for lyfe.

A perfectly logical clock would use a radio broadcast to count off seconds since a predefined epoch. Put a few of them way up high, so more people can see it, and make them so astonishingly precise that you could tell where you are just by listening.

That can’t be right. Everyone knows 24 is the biggest number there is.

Relevant Mitchell and Webb comedy sketch.

Invent a time machine, send a robot back in time to terminate their parents.

This is basically “Weekend at Bernie’s”, using the likeness of a dead man as a puppet.

Needs more JPEG.

Bulletproof? Sounds dangerous. What do I do if it makes a weird noise?

I switched to Ubuntu a few months ago, and all my Steam games work just fine. Never looking back.
