Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Not sure about wifi cameras, I have a mix of Trendnet and Hikivision POE, sitting on a Vlan with no internet access. For the software I use Blue Iris. Where I have a need for cameras I have only a Windows server and I have found this software to be the best for me.

Personally, I've had terrible luck with Seagate drives, and the subsequent warranty process. I sent a 12TB Ironwolf back for bad sectors in July and I still don't have my replacement. They shipped me one once, but UPS sent it back because it didn't have clearance to cross the border into Canada. I spent hours on the chat getting bounced around, I could find no phone number to call. The experience has been awful. I've had other bad experiences with Seagate in the past but the price on the Ironwolfs was so good, but now I really wish I had just got some WD reds or something. I got 3 left in my QNAP and i am praying another doesn't fail before I get this replacement or my array is toast.

Spotify vs Tidal - worth switching? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] zampson@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I love my Tidal, me and my partner both use it. I generally really like the track radio and the mixes it serves up for me.

I don't mind waiting if it means they get it right. Watching some of the streamers play it, it still seems a way off. Stuff like no bike facilities? No ability to read topography? I bet they got way more notes from their testers than they anticipated. I really hope they nail it.

How many hours a day do you actually work? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] zampson@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

8-10 hours a day. I have my own company so there's always something to do. Sometimes I play Cities when it's real slow and I'm caught up on paperwork but that's not really that often.
