  • Years ago I had a registrar go tits up without warning, taking about 70-80 active domains for an MSP’s customers with it. I managed their email servers and DNS, which was with the registar, of course. It was a bloody nightmare to recover that situation. Because we couldn’t supply them a DNS change to prove our control of the DNS, hence ownership of the domain, we had to individually affadavit each domain. Took weeks.

    I get you don’t think it’s important, but there’s plenty of sysadmins that do, with experience backing that up.






  • Blue Iris and any ONVIF compatible camera. BI has a phone app for Android and iphone that you can integrate via ngrok if you have CGNAT internet and can’t open a port directly.

    It’s a little bit of money (license is cheaper via Amcrest website) and you have to run it on Windows. I use Dockurr/Windows and run it in a KVM-based docker container on a couple sites.

    Very easy to set up, has motion/shape detection built in, bulletproof, features until hell won’t have it, and works with a plethora of cameras.








  • I’ve set up OpenWebUI with the docker containers, which includes Ollama in API mode, and optionally Playwright if you want to add webscraping to your RAG queries. This gives you a ChatJippity format webpage that you can manage your models for Ollama, and add OpenAI usage as well if you want. You can manage all the users as well.

    On top, then you have API support to your own Ollama instance, and you can also configure GPU usage for your local AI if available.

    Honestly, it’s the easiest way to get local AI.
