Probably look to secondhand commercial stuff, anything with ONVIF support should be fine.

Picked up some domed outdoor Cisco IP6630s awhile back off eBay for cheap and while not the best image wise they're built like tanks AND they give you full root access lol

I use mine all the time, much easier than dealing with a nasty sink strainer as I just spray down the sink into the disposal and run it. Also keeps the trash from smelling.

If it's being smelly under the sink, it's broken or not installed right. If it's being smelly from the drain hole sink side then you're not cleaning it from time to time (Which is as easy as dropping in some cleaner and running it every other month or so).

I'm actually looking to upgrade mine so it can handle some bones

Tariffs can be good when applied in limited, researched and balanced ways. Trump's "plan" is to just apply a 60% blanket tariff, which is what's really really bad.

That's great, in theory. In reality, you'll get stuck in a perpetual savings cycle like OP and in many cases never reach the mythical threshold.

200k savings sounds nice, but if you have to spend 5 years saving and housing prices jump 80, 90, 200% in that time that savings lead gets entirely erased.

You can always play around with your interest rate later on, but you can never change what you paid for the house

Real talk, forget about a down payment. There are a bunch of different ways to get a 0 down mortgage with varying qualifiers so that chances you qualify for one of them is quite decent.

Even if not, there are still a bunch of other ways to get low down payment mortgages for ~3% down or less.

Toss out the old adage of "20% down or bust" and keep any money saved towards it for savings for all the other costs of home/closing

The day he said that "ReGULAr CAmErAs aRe ALl YoU NeEd" was the day I lost all trust in their implementation. And I'm someone who's completely ready to turn over all my driving to an autopilot lol

Listen to me...I have an idea...

Same, I have the Family tier and it just makes sense. At 23/month if all 5 slots are filled it works out too $4.60/month/person.

No ads AND no hassle with this and that instance going down or that app being blocked or browser shannigans

Fuck yo Zip Drives, all my homies use SyQuest

Some people like living in communal spaces and some, like me, loathe it. Seriously, fuck that. Maybe more and affordable complexes do need to be built, but it should never be the only option.

What possible argument could you have for that? That's just absolutely ridiculous.

I had Crapcast for awhile before fiber became available, I regularly use terabytes of data and their 1TB cap would be blown through in no time.

If data caps actually solved a problem like it does for cellular networks, it'd be different. But it's not, it's a cash grab, I "just" had to pay Crapcast an extra 20$/month

You see, for cellular, a tower is truly limited on the bandwidth because it must be shared among all cellular devices connected to it. And that could be thousands upon thousands of individual devices.

But for hardline, the ISP builds a trunk to the neighborhood and they build it to spec assuming they would sign up a certain percentage (Probably like 80%, or more if they know they're going to be the only service for a while) to their highest tier. If their highest tier is 1Gbps, then they build their trunk line to that neighborhood to handle 80% of the houses having 1Gbps service.

They never get close to that percentage in the real world, most people are going to stick with some middle of the road package or slower. But, the trunk was built to handle 80% of the houses being active 24/7 at 1Gbps, which just doesn't happen in the real world so a LOT of that capacity remains just at the ready.

Now that's just bandwidth, has nothing to do with the amount of data transferred, that line to your house is built to handle whatever the ISPs highest package is or planned higher, whether you use 1Gbps to transfer 1 GB of data or 1000 it doesn't matter
