Had the QuickCam back in the day and it was so cool and futuristic to have a camera connected to the computer. It was fun making stop-motion videos with clay.
Spamming HN with a link you’ve previously posted isn’t good for the community. I left a comment on your previous post but it seems the post was flagged.
These are generic pools, sold everywhere. Instead of importing crap from China and indirectly support the CCP - make something in France instead. Put some effort ffs.
I’m currently running a Cisco ASA 5540 as the perimeter device (with NAT and DHCPD) at home. Replaced the stock fans because it was seriously noisy. Getting about 920Mbp/s. Also running a site-to-site VPN to AWS. It’s been working great for many years with absolutely no issues whatsoever. The only problem is that it’s starting to show some ageing with no firmware updates since 2018, so I’m replacing this with a recent Palo Alto Networks NGFW with 1+ Gbp/s firewall capability. The FW is then connected with OM3 fiber to a SFP port on a 48-port gigabit Cisco switch (2960G), with trunking ports to other managed Cisco switches in the house. The server is connected to the switch using 4 ports in LACP mode for better bandwidth and redundancy. If you can live with the noise I highly recommend old enterprise gear as it can be found for cheap.
The Chinese people don't seem to overthrow governments at a particularly quick rate. The last three dynasties before the revolution lasted about 210 years each.
