  • Free speech is important in public spaces. Online, for the most part, isn’t public, it’s a network of privately owned systems… You’re on someone else’s computer, they can do whatever they want with the data you put there. Debate isn’t permitted there if they say so (and did in this case) and you agreed to that so they would allow you access to their system. Whether it was “annoying” or not is immaterial. You broke the rules you agreed to. That’s it really. You can talk about this literally anywhere but their systems.

    I harbor no hate at all, just providing context for your disingenuously framed post. You are definitely a radically problematic case, considering your posts. I don’t care what you discuss, but the owners of these systems do.

    If I ran a forum, I would definitely want the ability to remove people from my system that are harassing others, by my definition, regardless of what yours may be.



  • Nook Simple Touch. You can get one with backlight for less than $40 usually.

    It takes microSD, android 2.1 (lol)

    There’s an easy app to root it, then you install whatever (fbreader, moon, etc), or use it’s built-in reader. The ancient android version means you’ll have to dig for apks that work with it, but once it’s set up, it’s done.

    The biggest draw vs newer stuff, is… it’s tiny and light. there’s almost nothing to it, it just works. No browser, no apps, just book.





  • Early wyze cams with openmiko/dafang or wz_mini_hacks will do what you want.

    Both have options for local recording. openmiko and dafang are complete firmware replacements, so no internet needed at all. wz_mini is a overlay on top of stock firmware, so it may call home (and not work properly if it can’t) if you’re using that.

    Wyze Cam v2 is stupid cheap rn ($17 shipped from wyze above), and run off usb, so bring your own 5v otherwise, through whatever method you want (large battery, solar charging brick). Add microSD for the local recording. You even get some night vision with it. Openmiko is easy to install and configure, so it scales well.

    As far as #4, nothing is going to connect directly from phone to camera to view videos without some cloud service or intermediary. You can access whatever on the cameras via SSH/SCP, but that isn’t “simple”. And either way, it will “need to be connected to any type of network like WiFi” for this access, so #1 and #4 are mutually incompatible for the most part.

    I haven’t seen anything that has a bluetooth connection for access.

    If you want to get really fancy and can leave them connected, you can use a (free) aggregator like iSpy (NOT Agent DVR, their paid replacement) to get it all recorded and in the same place. Then you can use stuff like motion detection to reduce recorded video to useful footage, and save money on the SD cards.
