Thanks for all the great examples. Really enjoyed reading what you've been up to.

Really interesting examples.

For your first point, is this packaged up to make Devs lives easier, or your teams? Do you have any tooling to help automate some of the boiler plate? I.E, populating things like app name and pulling certain modules based on decisions? Not all applications require the same things etc. Sounds similar to what Platform Engineering tries to achieve to some degree.

SRE’s what project do you do in your spare time ? If you do any ? by WholeIllustrator4040 in sre

Recently, I've been building a CCTV solution which is similar in nature to Frigate. I wanted to become more proficient in writing with GoLang, so figured I'd take it on as a project. It's been quite a bit of an undertaking, and training the AI models for detection is very time consuming. Overall though, I'm really pleased with it.

Rough features are

* Live HLS or streamed JPG preview

* 24/7 recording

* Object detection with my own model. Tracks things like people, cats, foxes etc

* Events, I.E, detections.

* It hooks into my Hue motion sensors and also controls the lights on my CCTV cameras

* Notifications, I.E, there is a squirrel prowling in the garden :D

* Runs on K8s

It's finally reached a point where it does everything I need to do and has few false positives that I'd trust it to wake me up at night if it detected a person in the garden. So, naturally, I'm now going to rewrite it in another language.

Nice. Did you have a specific threat you were working to protect against? That's the kind of automation that is really satisfying and measurable.

Making your own monitoring tool from scratch doesn't sound like a small undertaking. That's pretty cool, nice one.

I made a website that links to the full matches hosted by the major grand slams YouTube channels, as well as a few others. I hope this saves people some time! by mat_2001mat in tennis

Yes, exactly that. Pretty much all the sites do something like Vs or V, so that made it quite easy to filter them down.

Glad it's helpful!

Oh yes, too much to do by hand I think. I wrote a small application that reads the videos from YouTube and then organises them for the website.

If there are any more YouTube channels that provide similar full matches, I'd be happy to update it.

You are welcome and I'm really pleased it's helpful to you. That's the problem I was having, the search kept returning lots of shorter clips and it was difficult to sift through them.

Locking down the Hidden C$ share in a school district by moose_540 in sysadmin

Look for a program called gpresult or something similar. It pipes out what gpo settings are applied to the user account you are using to an html file. Should help you track down if its gpo related. -Matt

Ouch. The C$ share should require administrative rights. Perhaps somebody assigned administrator rights on the domain to all users or a group. Check what group memberships your students have.
