    Tail Scale VPN

    I do something similar. I have IPSec set up on my pfSense firewall, JIC I need to remotely update the Tailscale client on my firewall. The nice thing is iOS supports IPSec natively without a separate VPN client installed.

    Tail Scale VPN

    Not at that price. TS works without a static WAN IP. You can always use any number of free DyDNS to tie your WAN IP address to a hostname. No-IP.com has a free tier.

    Anyone tried Dahuas ?New? Video doorbell DB41AB/W?

    @OrinocoDelta Dahua acquired Lorex in 2018 for $29M and sold them in 2023 for $72M (not a bad ROI), likely due to the US government ban on Dahua. At one time, Amcrest, Dahua, and Lorex rebranded the same models. It wouldn't surprise me if the companies sill share the same contract...

    Apparently AWS outages today (10/20/25)

    Since my beer fridge does not rely on AWS cloud services, I think I will survive. Nor do I rely on cloud services for my home security system, cameras, HDHomeRun+OTA TV antenna, FM/WX radio, and lead projectiles.

    Exactly why I don’t store one of those lithium battery boost devices in the hot trunk of my car, directly above the fuel tank. I instead have one of those super capacitor battery boost devices. It’s Scotty Kilmer approved. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086L29DL9

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Did the person he was messaging with know in advance or only after the fact? If the person knew in advance, they might want to lawyer up quickly as they can be charged with complicity to murder in most states, including Utah.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Looks like the "suspect" was sporting a huge cell phone. Assuming it was not a Jason Bourne burner phone and the rumored name of the "person of interest" is not an alias, I would think they could easily track the persons steps and current location. Why is this person not already in custody?

    The Project Farm guy's high pitched voice hurts my ears. This guy has a very unbiased technical review from 2024, i.e. he is not a paid shill. Personally, I have the WolfBox G850 rear view mirror cams in both my vehicles.
