Awesome, thanks! I may dive back into this project again since I would still really like to do it. I think I actually have a spare Pi 4 around here somewhere that I got for my 3d printers but ended up swapping that to a thin client. Appreciate it!
Ooo is there a guide you are following for this? I tried setting this up a few years back during covid and never could get it working right. I still think it was faulty hardware but I went through at least a half-dozen grabbers.
The 2 stands for on 2 different mediums. So HDD and tape for instance. Or HDD and SSD. Or SSD and DVDs. Whatever combo you choose that fits your needs. This (minimizes) the chance of loss of both.
Not trying to be a smartass, but what’s the alternative?
This seems like a good middle ground. I can tell you unless someone schedules something on a Friday afternoon I’m pretty much done come lunch time.
No shame in whatever path you take, as long as you don’t vote Republican!
Oh you don’t have to worry about that!
I would LOVE to go back to the tree farm or become a park ranger or something. It just doesn’t pay the bills that my cloud engineering does.
Article has been updated, this appears to have been a false alarm:
Nicholas Wu of Politico wrote that DC Metro Metropolitan Police spokesperson Hugh Carew said that the evacuation of the building took place after a call reporting an active shooter but that it “appears to be a bad call” and that “no injuries and no shooter were located”.
Being in IT I’ve made a LOT of mistakes over the years, it comes with the territory. Though potentially screwing up a nearly half-century old science mission is not one of those. I truly hope for everyone’s sake (but especially the person/people that issued the wrong command) that everything is corrected come October. That would be a horrible thing to have to think about.
My issue at this point is I have SOOOO many PS games that I wouldn’t want to have to re-purchase on Xbox. I’ve had a playstation since the 2 so have a pretty extensive library. If there was a way to transfer things over without re-purchasing I would likely make the switch. As it stands, I made my bed so now I lay in it, lol.

It’s been working extremely well for me the past month or so.
Yeah it would have been guaranteed, high-paying work forever as long as I kept up the quality. All towers need to be inspected regularly. I thought about that but I’m not even slightly creative and wouldn’t even know where to begin.
It was honestly super-fun. Loved getting out in the field with my partner in crime to fly. Hmm may have to do a little more digging. I literally have all the pieces of the puzzle: LLC, drone, insurance, experience, etc. Just have to find the right way to break into the market. I thought I had a lead on doing tower inspections around the state but that ended up falling through. :( Cheers!
Oh the laws are super-weird. I have my license and a drone which is why I felt the need to comment. I used to work for a utility company and we had a two-operator drone that required that. Though it was nothing high-end for filming. We used it for inspections, to back-fill crappy satellite imagery, and occasional community events. I’ve kept my license current intending to do something with it, just haven’t really put a lot of work into that other than creating the LLC. One of these days I’ll finally get around to it…I keep thinking real estate.
The article touches on that part actually right at the end:
As for legality of taking drone pictures over a house? California state law only forbids that if you’re specifically doing so as a sort of peeping tom.
What legal issues would they be opening themselves up to? All airspace in the US is regulated by the FAA. As long as they weren’t in restricted airspace, following all the regulations, and the operator had the proper part 107 license there is nothing illegal about using a drone in this manner. There have been various discussions over the years about “owning” airspace over ones property but nothing has even gone to court that I’m aware of. Not to mention the company could have well seen onto the persons property while being over public space (I.E. the road).
I’m not arguing if this was right or wrong, but I see nothing illegal here.
As long as you are just doing capture and aren’t attempting to do anything where a re-encode of the video stream is needed then absolutely. You’ll need something other than a microSD card though to write the video too.

I need to tighten the bolts on the kids toilet, lol. Otherwise just running a ton of errands (none DIY-related).
shudder I’m having VBA flashbacks…
