What's an easy to use, simple, web-frontend linux NAS distro? I have an ITX AMD based (two 4TB SATA drives in software RAID-1, OS runs from USB flashdrive) computer at my office that I store various ISOs and backups when working on client systems on the bench. Just need SMB folder shared to access on the network. Was previously using NAS4Free but I think the SMB 2.0/3.0 versions fucked it hard, so it couldn't be viewed on the network from our Windows 10 office computers. I don't see a lot of options out there. Don't want to buy a Synology NAS for this project (not right now, down the road maybe). Mostly used to Redhat versions of Linux. Some familiarity with Debian based systems.

FreeNAS?

freenas, unraid, openmediavault.

unraid runs natively from a flash drive, the other two can be configured to.

Hacked up a Wyze V2 camera with the Dafang stuff.

Got it working with my Surveillance deal after a little bit of work.

These will make great replacements for my old as shit D-Link 480notquitep cameras

They're really solid hardware and have good IQ.

Do you have any of the pan/tilt version?

I saw that, but why? Whats the advantage?

Cheap.

And then you don't use the shitty app.

yep, have 5 pan tilts, 2 regular (v1s)

Cheap.

But if he can write a long-ass nested if statement into one of his power-core-web-eagle-thrust pistons, he can integrate the shitty app into his other shitty app.

its actually not that shitty other than no rstp. theyve been adding al ot of features and stability.

Alternatively you can use tinycampro, which is fantastic.

mostly people paranoid about china phone-homes, and rstp access

Good? Bad? Shitty?

I sent my iPod nano through the washer last weekend. It expired. Bought a new one off eBay and got it in the mail today. Its name is Harry Podder, which replaces Podrick, which replaced Podney.

My daughter Lily is supremely annoyed with the name, so I renamed her iPod "Lily Podder".

In a slap in the face to @Valve1138 , wyze cams now officially have rstp natively.

 

[Domon]

All

And?

Good? Bad? Shitty?

Excellent. But I really don't use the pan feature at all. So... Unnecessary?

Cool.

But how invasive is the native app?

Also, night vision isn’t working on mine.
