It just sounds like so much work 😆. How does the actual running of PoE work? Do I measure the distance at say 18m then buy a 20m cable to use, or am I buying a big roll, cutting it to size, and adding the plug on the end? (And if the latter, how do I do that?)

Do I have to be careful about which cable I get to make sure it supports PoE, or can I grab any cat5 or cat6?

I just spent ages looking into this and the answer is… Heliboard!

Go to languages and disable the option to use the system language. Then enable, say, Portuguese. Once enabled, tap on the name of the language and there is a Multilingual option to add another language (e.g. English).

I don’t use this open so can’t speak to it’s quality, but give it a go and let me know how you get on!

Ah, right, thanks!

Oh that’s super useful to know, thanks!

Long story short we elected a group of right-wing pro-choice representatives, where the previous government were center-left. So smoking, more roads, and ambiguous crime fighting are on the agenda.

Thanks for the reply!

From what I’ve encountered, that CPU will probably be just fine unless it’s doing a lot of other stuff too.

I had a bit more of a search around, and it seems this specific UXG-Lite is giving people speeds around 30 or 40Mbps. For a whole of network VPN, that’s nowhere near fast enough! I’m looking for 200Mbps, preferably more.

This one claims 393Mbps with wireguard. I was earlier reading that you should look for a dedicated VPN box not a wifi/all in one thing but this seems to be pretty good value for money if it works. I don’t need the wifi as I have a couple of mesh access points but I’ll take it if it’s there.

I was looking at Ubiquiti as the wifi mesh is an Amplifi one but searching around it seems all the Ubiquiti gateways have really bad VPN performance.

I’ve also noticed that PoE switches that aren’t crippled sme how are rare as hens teeth for consumer grade gear. I.e. only some ports, or only support one of the protocols,or are themselves really picky about supply voltage.

My only recommendation is to take the time to figure it all out: and if a fact is omitted assume the worst.

I’m not sure I have the knowledge to figure it all out 😆. How will I know if it’s going to be picky about voltage? What PoE protocols should I be looking for, I didn’t realise there were options 😆

That’s awesome, looks like PB Tech have a huge range of Reolink!

But with choice comes more questions 😆. PoE means you don’t need separate power for the camera. But it looks like they sell solar powered wifi ones. Is there a benefit of using PoE instead of wifi+solar?

Working knowing there’s a cocktail filtering that will be waiting for me at the end of the day sounds like a nice way to survive the day 😆

Weird! I’m using Fennec (a fork of Firefox for Android) and I get a paywall every time! I wonder if they have some criteria or maybe something in my stack is triggering it (I have everything from uBlock to Tracker Control to PiHole blocking stuff 😆).

Interestingly, on desktop (Firefox) I’m not getting the paywall! But desktop mode on mobile does paywall me, but mobile mode on desktop doesn’t. I don’t know what their criteria are 😮‍💨

Do you access from work where your work might have an IP-identified work subscription?

It seems The Post is a Stuff site deliberately split off so it can be paywalled regional content (along with a couple of others): https://thespinoff.co.nz/media/29-04-2023/inside-stuffs-bold-unconventional-new-paywall-plan

Looks like we might be a bit more ambitious than others 😆. We had good participation last time though.

I guess when she isn’t in the government and she’s now independent she probably doesn’t have much sway in parliament anyway.

I was just reading this from 2022: https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/08/17/explainer-what-happens-if-an-mp-is-expelled-from-their-party/

And noticed this closing statement:

The Waka Jumping option is available to all parties - however, it is unlikely National will utilise the legislation.

National voted against the law change in 2018 and still oppose the legislation. Leader Christopher Luxon says the party would repeal it if in government.

Luxon says a lot of things 😆

I know a few people around here are running Home Assistant and the like. I’m keen to put in a few cameras, preferably not cloud connected but that can connect to Home Assistant. I’m planning on adding object detection via coral.

I’m thinking cameras powered by PoE. Anyone got suggestions for outdoor cameras?

What about a switch that outputs PoE and doesn’t cost thousands? Maybe something like this? Though I don’t seem to see good bang for buck switches where they are all PoE, they seem to just do half of the ports PoE though 8 PoE ports seems like it would be plenty.

And on another note, any suggestions for a network level VPN client? That is, for connecting the home nenetwork to an external VPN server (one that handles hundreds of Mbps, preferably wireguard). Is something like this appropriate? It’s CPU is only 1Ghz so I worry it will be slow.

She should be removed from parliament, now that the investigation has concluded and she was found to be corrupt…get rid of her.

What’s the process for this? Greens told her to go, and so she resigned from the party and not from parliament. Presumably Greens can’t do any more, presumably the in power government can’t kick out opposition MPs, but presumably there is a process to remove an MP when they abuse their position. Any idea what that process is?

However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.

“We’re looking for dumb investors that don’t understand technology so we can sell them a bridge.”

I’d argue this change has a lot to do with women entering the workforce, to the point most families have (need to have) two working parents to get by. Now what used to be man has factory job woman looks after house and kids is now two parents each have jobs, so who looks after house and kids? Much of housework has been reduced with washing machines, dishwashers, etc.

It’s pretty common knowledge (I think?) that in most nuclear households women took on a job and still do most of the housework including child care (especially the mental load - I.e. Keeping track of what needs to be done and making sure it gets done - project manager) Over time men have a started to pick up some of the slack but there’s still a long way to go. The article from this post talks about how it’s improving for college educated but getting worse for those not college educated.

TBH I have no idea how you count who is doing the childcare at any particular point. If the kids are off playing and both parents are scrolling on their phones, do you both count that time or do neither of you count it, or is there some method of determining who is the primary person at that point? Working out these hours of childcare would be much easier for separated parents 😆

It’s probably a good thing that employers are incentivised to make employees take their leave. Imagine if it was in $ and the longer your employer avoided letting you take leave, the more the value eroded due to inflation…

That’s really cool. I’m going to have to give this a go some time.

Wow, that’s quite the process!

My link talks about how it’s popular with bartenders. How does the process work at a bar, when a customer probably doesn’t want to wait 2.5 hours for a drink? Would bars mix up big batches ahead of time?

From memory, I believe one government increased legal minimum annual leave from 3 to 4 weeks, then the following government changed it so you still got the 4th week but you could cash it in on agreement with your employer. So you can’t cash it all in, just 1/4 per year.
