The kickstarter comments page of this product does not look so glamorous ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tiinyai/tiiny-ai-pocket... )
There is also https://thingino.com/ which has a clear set of supported cameras. The installation is straight forward if you choose a cam with SD-Card flashing support. I upgraded two of the Sonoff Slim Gen2 without any issues.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the appropriate NixOS configuration in the middle of the article. NixOS stream-lines the whole configuration process to a couple of lines of configuration which can be copy-pasted without changing anything.

Isn't `dmesg` just `journalctl -k` on operating systems with systemd enabled?
Re:Historian: Because Please Stop Deleting My Bash History on Thursday April 13, 2017 @04:34AM (#14105188)
For me, the *_history is a deeply personal thing as it shows how i work and how i changed my working over the years.

I think you are very brave to make this document available to the world - it is not something i would like to do.

EDIT: I think of it like the browser history for your daily work.

EDIT 2: It seems quite a lot of people think it is a good idea to store their bash_history on github, who knew! google dork: "inurl:github.com intitle:bash_history"

Not quite the same but nix[0] and the nix expression language [1] is also missing from the list.

Re:Get Let's Encrypt Cert in Five Minutes on Sunday December 25, 2016 @02:09PM (#13255060)
on nixos it is:

    services.nginx.virtualHosts."myhost.org" = {
        enableSSL = true;
        enableACME = true;
        root = "/var/www/myhost.org";
    }
Put that in your host configuration and the nginx will be configured to start up the nginx with SSL enabled. All other locations required for the acme request are automatically configured. Systemd timers are also added for automatic renewal. IMHO it does not get any better than this.

edit1: no extra location required

The points why freelan is better regarding security are no real issues, but tradeoffs in terms of performance which just copy-pasted from the tinc-vpn security faq[1].

I have been using tinc for quite a long time and it feels pretty stable, but the configuration of new nodes is quite a PITA. For that reason a lot of bootstrapping scripts have been built around this [2]. Also, i love the possibility to easily dump the whole (known) network graph and create great graphs from this info [3].

I am using it mostly for reaching hosts behind NAT and creating a secure environment for these hosts.I never have tried the 'connect whole network' feature.

it actually was and is up for me, just loading horribly slow. The essence of this post is: "Windows suspend/resume may work just fine. Mac too. But Linux’s suspend/resume isn’t a buggy pile of crap. It’s an intelligent buggy pile of crap, that just wants to be loved."
