My logitech mx master 3 works instantly on fedora with all it’s features. I also have various wired and worless keyboards and mouses that work instantly on Fedora.

For same mouse on windows, I need to wait for it to download and install outs drivers.

Maybe you got things confused or are using LinuxFromScratch or something.

Generally, when things work on windows, it is the effort of whomever made the device or software. Microsoft generally does not develop drivers. However, when things work on GNU/Linux it is the effort of GNU, Linux, or the community. The manufacturer probably did nothing. This simply explains why we are generally relaxed or “give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the “things that just work””.

So fairly comparing a Linux distro to raw windows, Linux is better. When you install a distro, things just work, when you install windows, most stuff do not work and you need to complete setup. Unless you use tools provided by the manufacturer, but then again, it is same story.

I tried this in the past and it does not seem a good option. Letting a smartphone record 24/7 would make it melt maybe.

Their code repository is still active. So worth giving a look.

Thanks. this opens up more devices to choose from. So products like hikvison are a candidate for me now.

What hardware is it compatible with?

Yes I may, I don’t have it setup now, but I do have an ultra PC that might run it.

It would be best if I don’t have to create an account or install a proprietary app to perform the initial setup.

I still haven’t found any AMCrest camera being sold near me. I found some Hikvison.

I made some reasearch for avalable hardawar near me and found this one Hikvison DS-2CD1053G0-I

I’ll keep looking for ones that are more inside friendly.

Many thanks!

What camera hardware is compatible with Soteria?

You get a point. This changes a lot of things. I need to review again the project page. I first understood that this is a shared block list. If it is just a mirroring of a given instance, then it is not the same.

I am making an analogy of current situation of mastodon landscape where similar a project is based on questionable sources. Currently beehaw is nice and is blocking Lemmy.world. This makes me believe beehaw then end up blocking Lemmy world.

I will exagerate and ask you: are you discriminating between bigger and smaller instances? While smaller instances are definitely small, together they are big enough.

If he actually is obnoxious, then yes. But what guaranties he is obnoxious? Or that he just statements were just misinterpreted. Happens a lot.

They could have done nothing, but because someone on a so called trusted source de-federated it because he did not like him, de-federation would accumulate.

Actually beehaw is a nice instance and is blocking lemmy.world, which too is fantastic. Thus sharing beehaw’s de-federation list would cut out lemmy.world from a huge audience. In this particulare case, I wonder what lemmy.world did wrong to be worth de-federating from.

So you see, sharing huge block lists would wrongfully cut out people. Since nobody would investigate the whole list because doing so would take weeks.

Joining another instance is out of the question for many because they are firm belivers of self-hosting and decentralization. Two principles that are pillars of the the fediverse.

Seeing the number of down votes I may say that most people do not take smaller or single instance users that are too common. They are the ones that get most hurt with shared defederation lists. This only encourages people to gather to well known instance or accept being cut out from the biggest part of the fediverse.

This is when degeneration is used with sanity. However, people just use that feature to cancel people they don’t like. And this hurts smaller instances a lot.

You forgot people who selfhost single user instances. So they would have to destroy the old instance and create and new one with a new domain, which is a lot of work and resources.

Edit: Please also notice the problem here is not defederation itself, but shared lists of defederation. Because most likely the list is super long and nobody would check if all instances are legitimately blocked.

There are anti viruses that run on GNU/Linux like ClamAv and kaspersky but they actually do not target the machine they run on or at least they are not so useful. Their intention is to stop the spread of malware.

In general, you just need to install softwaref uaong the package manager from trusted sources that are usually the defaults of your distribution and not input your password when you are not expecting it.

When copying commands to the terminal, most terminals will warn you if you are copying a command that requires root privileges.

That said for the operating system, apply it to the browser as well by being eclectic on what extensions you install and voila. 99.99% guaranteed malware free.
