simplenomad, Question for crypto (as in cryptographic) nerds, I am looking for an automated solution for on-prem backups that encrypts said backup. The plan is to take said encrypted backup and store it off sight. Prefer open source, and for further context consider this "home lab" although it does involve multiple servers with public IPs etc. I do not want to have the encryption key easily reachable like in plaintext in a config file.
Right now this is all happening manually, but automated would make this so much easier. It does not have to be a full end-to-end solution, even just the encrypting part being able to be automated would be fine as I could simply script around it. Thoughts and recommendations?

peturdainn, @gigasecure the title made no sense, and after reading, neither did the article.... written from a HA point of view and as such biassed and missing too many points 🤷♂️
For example, debugging in node-red can be far more detailed
unfa, CinePI is an open hardware/software project aiming to create a cheap cinema camera that uses a Raspberry Pi at its core.
Here's a stunning demonstration of what images can be captured with CinePi.

They are also looking for software developers :)

devanopolis, Tested my 4x5 reducing back for the #GameBoyCamera last night. Still can't shoot in the daytime, until I get a print done in black. However, it's wild that this is from a toy #camera from 1998.

gooba42, @br00t4c They're just so proud of the good work they're doing that they don't want the media to steal their thunder by revealing all the surprises early, right?
Or are they actively concealing war crimes?
Seems like it's probably one or the other of those things.
devontechnologies, Tip of the day: #DEVONthink is a good place to keep your literature, because you can add a lot of bibliographic data as metadata. One source for such data is Crossref, and with a script you can easily import metadata from there to #DEVONthink. Here is how that works. #academics #automation #pkm #productivity #research #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230711-metadata-crossref

yngmar, Macro light done.
Made a mount for it that hangs back and aside, so it can double as handle, the camera can stand up straight on it and the access door for the USB connector of the camera isn't blocked.
It took ages to figure out a position which enabled all of the above, but then that's why you make your own kit.
Works pretty well and happy with the result. Satisfying amount of salvaged parts, too.

Mirror selfie of the macro light installed on the red camera. My right hand grasps the camera as normal, the left hand the black case, which is now mounted vertically and off to the side of the camera, acting as second handle. The ring LED is installed on the lens and lit up brightly, partially reflecting in the mirror and back onto the lens.
A random tiny dead insect that happened to be readily laying on the window sill today. It's less than 2mm long, laying on its back and clasping its legs in death. It looks like a tiny fly.
jik, Let's talk briefly about what a tire-fire #Wyze is and why you shouldn't buy from them.
I attempted to order COVID tests from them near the start of the pandemic. They sold more than they had, I never received the tests I ordered, and cancelling the order was a nightmare.
But then they started spamming me.
In 2022 I unsubscribed from their #spam.

jik, In February 2024 I asked them to delete my #Wyze account (created only to order the COVID tests).
They just spammed me again.
When I click the unsub link, the page it takes me to claims I'm already unsubscribed.
In addition to all this you're probably aware they've had numerous security and privacy issues with their products.
You really, really shouldn't patronize this company.

cynblogger, @marisa
Fuji 100 if they still sell it.
kevinctofel, Any #camera project or product page that uses stock #photography to represent camera output should be avoided like the plague IMO. Good on PetaPixel for the sleuthing here. 👏🏻

drahardja, This is horrifying; an insult to humanity.
And besides, if you want to automate making burgers and fries, you would redesign the entire kitchen around a simpler system of automation, not create a gigantic ceiling-mounted robot arm that manipulates implements meant for human use.
