wtf_is_this

Anyone know why the (only?) picture is in black and white? It seems taking one with color wouldn't be any more difficult...

Couldn't agree more with this comment. I've had exactly the same frustration trying to get cameras months/years apart that will work. You have to open each one up and hack it yourself (and OpenIPC may support it or not), and nowadays they are protected from loading firmware easily (tiny UART/debug ports, disabled UBoot loader, etc.).

I also wish there were an option for someone to buy cameras with open HW/SW, to get away from the random cloud services they want you to open your network up to with cheap cameras.

Has anyone else had Garnter emails start spamming them? Somehow they got my email address about a week ago and now I get one+ email a day.

Their unsubscribe process is ridiculous (illegal?). First you have to re-enter your email address (it should be included in the unsubscribe link in the email, right?) then you have to _solve a captcha_ just to hit submit on your unsubscribe request. Finally, for me at least, this goes to a "page loading" gif which never actually loads (there may be some ad-blocking stuff interfering with requests or something, I still have to check, but GOD DAMN).

I don't know the rules about unsubscribing from lists you never subscribed to, but they seemingly make it impossible to actually unsubscribe unless you are very determined. Yes, I can redirect to spam pretty easily, but I hate this shit.

I didn't see this as an answer, but use Tor (: It has the side benefit that it's harder to discover your service(s) on the wider Internet.

Well, DUH.

Edit: saw this has already been posted, which made me say "duh" again.
