Trying to learn here, are these SSH login attempts on the root user? If not, is it just the firewall logs?

The shortest answer -

Arch has really good documentation and a release style that works for a lot of people.

Ubuntu is coorporitized and less reliable Debian with features that many people dont need or want.

Translating art is still art. It requires cultural knowledge and contextual understanding to be done well, and no soulless bot can do that.

I appreciate this response. I’ll try booting up traefik later.

I think Caddy just abstracts things to such a great degree that if you dont already know what it’s supposed to do, it’s harder to learn what you’re doing with it. I’m sure plenty of others have stepped right up and loved the “two line config” without already understanding the basics, but it’s not clicking for me.

I was just trying to get a setup like this going yesterday. I used standard Wiregaurd and got that working between the VPS and home server, but I was trying to set up Caddy as a reverse proxy to direct the incoming traffic through the WG VPN to my services. I wasnt able to figure it out yesterday. Everyone online says Caddy is so simple, but I’m such a noob I just have no idea what it’s doing or how to troubleshoot.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is a surprisingly good action RPG made by a dev team that wanted to push the Neopets franchise into more of a “young adult” territory.

I didnt know soulseek integration with lidarr was possible.

Its an encrypted keyring idk what they’re talking about

We aren’t sacrificing our cat for a vacation. She’ll be well taken care of while we’re away, we just wanted to set up a simple method of checking on her when the urge strikes us without bothering the cat sitters to drop what they’re doing and check on her at any hour of the day or night.

This actually sounds like it fits my priorities pretty solidly. I’ll look into Reolink, thanks.

I was honestly leaning more and more toward an off the shelf solution like this. I kindof agree with you about it not being worth it to use a fiddly roll-your-own setup like this, especially with such short notice. Plug and play sounds really attractive.

How do you like the Amcrest cameras and remote monitoring solution? Do they have a good reputation for security I hope? I’m afraid I’m completely in the dark about these types of security camera companies.

Edit: just reread this and saw that you’re running the Amcrest cameras through Frigate. Was that setup something that you think could be done in an afternoon? Or have you had to mess with things often? Simplicity and ease of setup are probably my highest priorities for this.

Does zoneminder handle secure remote connections on it’s own somehow? Or will I need a separate solution to access my LAN while away?

Respectfully, I really dont want this thread to be about my cat so much as the question at hand.

I’ve never messed with home assistant. Is it very simple to set up for a live stream like this? I agree that that the NVR solutions seem like overkill for my needs.

I’ve done some reading on setting up wiregaurd in the past, but havent actually deployed it before either. For a short term solution, opening up a port for it seems like a good compromise.

It is actually a technology question. My cat’s care is being taken care of separately from this solution. This is just a supplementary setup that we’d like to have to be able to see her sometimes while we’re away.

I’m not expecting an ad-hoc camera system to care for our cat while we’re away. We have friends who will be visiting and spending time with her every day while we’re gone. This is just so that we can check on her occasionally while we’re away. Her illness is long term and managed with medications, but that doesnt stop my partner and I from worrying.

Respectfully, I already have separate plans for keeping the cat taken care of. This is just so that my partner, who will miss her very much while we’re away for a few days, can see her occasionally while we’re away.

We have a care plan for the cat. This is just for our peace of mind.

We have a pet sitter that lives down the road and our neighbors are also aware of the issues in case of an emergency. This isnt really for the cat’s wellbeing so much as a bandaid for how much we’ll miss her.

Well you asked a question with a complicated answer. Dean Spade is a prolific and respected writer and organizer, and his thoughts on the matter are relatively concise compared to the volumes upon volumes written by his predecessors in anarchist thought.
