Absolutely - I 100% expect the links to lead to feel-good marketing fluff at best and end up being useless for consumers, but the stated goals are at least good.

It's just that, sadly, we can no longer have nice things.

An annoying trend I've been seeing recently, which the GitHub repo behind this does, is having better documentation for the robots than there is for the users.

Compare the README.md to the skills/pay-for-http-request/SKILL.md

It's far more likely to be "not allowed to ignore a serious* call out" than a budget or training conspiracy...

*Serious as in, supposed shootings / murders / kidnappings etc - not serious as in "a legitimate call out"

The chances are, if you live somewhere like that, somewhere that actually has a low noise floor for RF, then you likely also have a lot of space to cover with your wifi - and that means sacrificing range (via additional access points) for the second network..

For me: Wifi is great! But, whenever it's practical, I avoid it... Everything with it is a tradeoff!

Your LAN can handle it :)

If the current setup can't, plugging the cameras and the NVR into a separate switch and none of that traffic will go near the rest of your LAN.

Wifi on the other hand, there's really no (practical) segregation to speak of - the spectrum has limited bandwidth, it doesn't matter if it's a different SSID / wifi network, it'll affect your Wifi!

Peer to peer? Self hosted stuff? (not sure how these work with starlink specifically, but - they should work, even if for whatever reason they don't)

While technically, yes, you are correct. It kinda misses the point - developers are more and more working with containers. Doing this on a Mac is an awful experience compared to doing it on Linux (or, Windows - I hear docker + WSL2 is pretty decent - but I've not tried it!)

> this device can handle a lot: firewalls, user management and access control for home media and file servers, and even some traffic control in data centers – without the need for a stand-alone router.

It's definitely got home networks as a target market. It's one of the suggested use cases.

I'm sure they are perfectly capable of signing up. But, I'd bet they are expressly forbidden from doing it.

Signups typically involve agreeing to some terms, and you absolutely don't want company employees working their official job duties agreeing to random T&C's.

> 1. Since 2020, it's illegal to send PII (personally identifiable) data to the US because of the removal of the Privacy Shield Framework [2]

Minor nit - "PII" really isn't the right term to use, because it suggests the info itself must be personally identifiable to an individual. The GDPR covers much more than this, and uses the term "Personal Data".

I stand corrected - not everyone can agree!

In reality, as a service provider, you have no ability to determine if the client IP belongs to an individual or not - so you have no choice but to assume it does identify an individual.

Honestly, it's not that big a leap to reach this interpretation.

1) Your IP address is considered personal data, as it can be used to identify you. In general, everyone can see and agree with this.

2) In the absence of additional protections and/or contract terms[1], the transfer of personal data out of the EU is an offense under the GDPR (well, technically it's not out of EU, but transfer to a country without GDPR equivalence).

So - embedding code / data from a 3rd party into your website results in a transfer of personal data.

[1] The idea of additional protections/contract terms is even questionable, but that's a whole other thing...

That's not strictly true - or at least - it's missing a piece.

When a company decides to use a product, it needs to ensure that product is legal to use in their jurisdiction(s).

If it gets to a court, it's likely that the consumer/client is the claimant and the Company who chose to use US Product X is the defendant. The company who makes US Product X is likely nowhere to be seen.

They probably have 100 other apps and deploying this one without docker would make it a snowflake.
