Also, at some point during manufacturing they hang it by the holes.

I too have a tp-link tapo indoor camera with said hacs component. I have set alerts for sound and movement, both work well, it need some tuning tough, like mic sensitivity…
For live video feed I use a webrtc camera from hacs as it has much better latency.
As a child monitor it works really well.

Nice ones! Since it ain’t a server I haven’t mentioned it, but I had my WiFi ssids named CLACKS.

Since I’m kinda fan of Terry Pratchett, I naturally have HEX at home.

I do have an Onyx Boox tablet, the Note 2 plus to be specific, and I do run Calibre and calibre-web on my home server.
Though I don’t actually use calibre-web at all, and the full flat calibre only to organise the collection. Usually I just copy the files to my tablet manually, but I do leverage the built-in RSS reader in Calibre to create my own epub “newspaper” periodically, which is synced to the tablet by Synching.
I have also used to have (actually still have it, but not use it) an old Kobo touch with Koreader, and I intended to download the books wirelessly using the calibre-web, but honestly, I just copied it over an USB anyway…
If I think about it, I could simply sync my whole library over Synching.

Thanks to everyone for ideas and your time. We have set a dropbox account and sent out a file request link, it is filling up already.
When this anniversary is over, on our next meeting I will bring up the possibility of deploying our own NAS with nextcloud at our building.
Cheers

I know of it but haven’t tried it yet. For my personal needs I actually use Zerotier to connect to my server remotely, but having two IP adresses is a bit anoying and not family friendly. Also it doesn’t work 100% of the time, sometimes I have troubles connecting. When the right time comes and I will get my IPv6 address I will switch to Wireguard to tunnel home, but until then…
In my case right now, any VPN is out of question, as it doesn’t meet the no-authorization condition, and I don’t want 60 people poking around on my LAN.
But thanks anyway, I might try Tailscape over zerotier to see if it is better.

Oh shoot, great, that should do it for now and is definitely eisier than setting out the nextcloud. Though I hope we will get our own nextcloud server somewhere down the line.
Thanks

I do run Nextcloud on my home server, and in an ideal world I would like to use it as I have sufficient disk space, even though my internet connection speet would be the bottleneck. The problem is, I am at the moment hidden behind a hell of a NAT maze and my server is simply not accessible from outside, even with VPN.
I have found out in the meantime, As you said, I found out as well, Nextcloud permit uploading without need for signing up. I am now thinking about setting up an acount at some Nextcloud provider, but they seem to by limited by capacity…

I thought of google drive as well, even if I had to pay for expanding the capacity. Unfortunately it requires signing up to permit upload, download is permited to everyone with the link though.
