Look into KVM extenders. Beware though that there are two main types - standard KVM Extenders (which is more or less point to point - you can't connect these to an existing wired network) and IP KVM Extenders (which can run across an existing ethernet or fibre network). Its get complicated but getting those two confused at the outset can lead to a lot of unnecessary pain and expense.

No they are not. Hi there. We noticed you have been listening to Rage Against the Machine, Metallica and Deftones. Why not have a listen of this Robbie Williams song too ... blasts out some pop song at extra high volume.

It would disrupt UKs defence (nuclear submarines in particular) and energy (oil fields) both of which currently are primarily based geographically within Scotlands territory. This is classic Russian tactics. Its not about whether Scotland joins EU or stays with UK, or which is economically or politically the best decision - its about seeding chaos and uncertainty within one of Russias largest antagonists.

Most people spend maybe 1/4 of their working age life at a job working for someone else. Why would you deliberately sabotage that by checking out mentally and waste all that time on sub-standard work? How do you expect to earn a promotion? You can produce good code at work and even better code at home for yourself. Deliberately producing slop at work will not help anyone.

Not everything is about money. Have you never wanted to be good at something because you enjoy it? Or do something for the love of the craft? Have you heard of altruism?

Popular isn't necessarily good, and success can be measured in many different ways.

> Democracy will eventually decay. It's not permanent.

Can a (more or less) two party system where the population hovers around 50/50 support for each side truly be called a democracy?

Its hit and miss to be honest. They do have a day/night mode. One camera is indoors in a shed - it picks up moths (as birds) and even a bat a couple of times. One camera that is outdoors regularly detects the fox that visits us almost every night. However another camera pointed at his next destination never picks the fox up at all. The main difference between the two camera environments appears to be third party lighting - there are street lights in the direction of the one that does not detect the fox, and also the glow of a robot mowers charger light. One or both seems to be putting off the cameras ambient light sensor and prevents night mode from kicking in. The simicams do have some configuration for night mode also, none of which I have tried out yet. Options like infrared lamp vs white lamp vs dual, and day-night mode of "photoresistor" vs "scene brightness" and also some "color to black luma" and "black to color brightness" settings. I should really play with those some more, but they've been left as defaults so far.

I picked up a bunch of 4k POE "simicam" cameras from AliExpress for 25 euros each. These serve up RTSP streams to frigate. I made some minor frigate config changes - I set it to keep 7 days of full recordings (just because i am paranoid), so this uses approx 1Tb of storage (5 cameras currently, more to go online soon). Frigate is running on an old laptop with a Coral AI USB and 2Tb NVME for storage. I enabled detection of cars and animals as well as the default of just humans. It works pretty well, but has some annoying quirks, e.g. if a dog runs past where a car is parked it will trigger an alert for both a dog and a car. It also detects weird conglomerate shapes as human sometimes, e.g. a bucket left at the end of some rolled up bird netting with some pieces of timber sticking out underneath can be vaguely human shaped when viewed from a height. I run the free open source version, and I'm sure I could get better results if I played with the configuration more.
