It’s a trade off between video quality and bandwidth but you can set the ffmpeg parameters to the bandwidth you want, more or less. If you have 2mbits up you can do ok. Motion detection can help if it’s for security and not much is happening most of the time.
We had something like e-readers and they didn’t need recharging as they were made out of dead trees. But each one held just one book, so you had to take a bunch of them to the bathroom with you.
Do I want to know what opensea is?
It depends. What kind of beer?
If you have enough upload bandwidth I guess you don’t need the vps.
Who is he? What does he stream about? Is he really a doctor?
It always seems simplest to do this stuff with raspberry pi cameras or cheap webcams, and wired networks if feasible. Then use ffmpeg and icecast to stream through a VPS. Anything made as a consumer product is likely a shambles of crap software and security holes.
I’ve never heard of this guy but I’m not very attentive to streamer drama. Is this significant beyond there now being N+1 known bozos in the world instead of N?
Raspberry pi cameras aren’t that bad a deal.
Saw reddit thread about this. Apparently the jail sentence is all but symbolic, since the defendants are currently outside Switzerland. As long as they don’t go back, they will never see the inside of a jail.
If it’s from a memorable phrase, then the phrase has a lot of redundancy and it’s hard to estimate the actual entropy. Generating a random phrase and writing it on a slip of paper works for me. Keep the paper in your pocket and refer to it when you need to, instead of trying to memorize it. Once you’ve typed it into the computer a few times, you remember it automatically. At that point you can swallow the paper or use your favorite alternate secure disposal method ;).
Nobody remembers diceware?
Why does it matter if someone chooses to wear a mask or not? Maybe it’s a great excuse to avoid facial recognition software.
Sunglasses are better for that. The idiots trying to ban masks aren’t trying to fight crime, they just want to normalize spreading illness.
I wear a respirator whenever I’m in an indoor public space like a store, and I also don’t spend more time in those spaces than I have to. I go into the store and get what I need, but I generally don’t linger around browsing stuff. That means I probably buy less stuff, which is good for my wallet as well. But politicians hate that. They want us out there spending. That’s why they are trying to play down covid risks. So they hate mask and respirator usage since it reminds others that the virus is still out there.
You ought to wear a respirator (N95) rather than a mask (those baggy blue procedure masks). Respirators help keep you from getting sick.

I’m still wearing mine and we are in a covid surge right now. We can talk again if there are a few consecutive months with no significant spread. That might in fact be never.
Do you want something that also has CDN like Cloudflare? Bunny.net is good, but way more expensive than a cheap VPS if you use a lot of traffic.
Guitars were a 1960s thing I believe. Here is what the in-group plays now:
I wouldn’t bother with the Fiverr thing but interesting personal projects and FOSS contributions are both good. Sizeable FOSS projects mean you’re working with other people which brings both benefits and challenges, and more closely resembles the “job” world. You could also look for actual paying work (not gig work like Fiverr, that is crap) if you have the time for it (summer job might be possible). Look at the monthly “Who is hiring” thread (first weekday of each month) on news.ycombinator.com, look on craigslist, etc.
Getting involved in FOSS is pretty simple. Find a project with a list of open tasks or an issue tracker, find something that interests you, say you are interested in working on that task, and start contributing patches. Usually if the project is not a high-visibility one with a lot of contributors already, it will welcome any help it can get. Lots of such projects have Freenode IRC channels where you can chat with the other devs in real time. I’m less comfortable with the ones that use Discord, but that’s just me.
That would be Guix, I think. Debian is pretty traditional.
Right. There were also Ace Doubles, but you had to be good at reading upside down if you wanted to use both halves.
