A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm planning to set up a CCTV system to watch around a building. Anybody running Shinobi or something? And if so, what hardware are you using? I bought some cheapo v380s but the ones I got are honestly hot garbage.

Backdoors don't really matter since the cameras are isolated to local only, and can only talk to the NVR.

any vulnerability is a risk i want to avoid, hikvision as a security camera company doesn't care about security.

But if they don't have access to Internet, as others have said, there's nothing a backdoor can do.

chances are you don't have NAC setup on your home network, and even if you do that can be bypassed. mitigating risk means you accept the least amount of it. a company that's comfortable with built-in backdoors is unacceptable.

First of all, I'm no cyber security expert. If the devices don't have access to Internet, how can they do a VLAN hopping? They're not "intelligent" devices that can act by their own.

About the first link, just avoiding Cisco switches seems to solve the problem (please correct me if I'm wrong). About the second link, I've got a question, is VLAN hopping a real threat, can it really happens nowadays?
