@JonnyT I like using redirect checkers like WhereGoes, RedirectDetective, etc which I've found to be quite convenient

does anybody know of security cameras that DON'T automatically connect to the internet?@tarajdactyl
There are plenty!Reolink, Amcrest, Dahua, and Unifi generally all rank high as far as camera quality goes for offline cameras.
You'll need an NVR to capture and store footage. I know a lot of folks that self-host frigate to do this, and some that have a unifi setup use that as their NVR. The backing storage can be a dedicated machine or a general NAS with some space budgeted out for camera use.
With offline networked cameras, it's generally recommended to have them on their own vlan, and also have firewall rules that prevent them from being able to access the internet at all. Personally I prefer wired cameras that are PoE compatible. It's too easy to deauth wireless cams for my comfort, and PoE means I only have to run one cable instead of two.

in which bsky admits the outage 10 days ago *was* their fucking code after all.@davidgerard They put synchronous loggers in high-volume transactions for memcache errors.
For context: That's like a textbook scenario for use non-blocking loggers.
- It's not a financial transaction that requires an airtight audit trail.
- High Throughput expected
- Production environment
- Prone to surges in trafficThe general pattern would be for the async logger to push it to a buffer and let a sidecar (like filebeat) scoop them up for the monitoring pipeline
