DNS translates a domain name “example.com” to an ip address pointing to the server. It tells your browser how to reach the server. It is unlikely the reason.

the common way to detect your location is by checking your ip address. Usually there is a database (i.e. maxmind) that keeps a record of which ip address subnet belongs to which location.

you can do a check with a reverse ip geolocation lookup tool to verify this.

so either:

• the company haven’t updated their database yet
• your IP range was recently bought or rotated by your isp

What is the use case or benefit for the server admin?

as a server admin I wouldn’t want to keep renewing my cert.

can anyone help to explain?

But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate

so does your mom and the general public. This idea and its impact is far too remote to people’s day to day life.

• “Yes, they can collect all they want, why should I care?”
• “My data is too insignificant to be meaningful for anyone, LMAO, do you think I am some kind of a CEO?”

it may help to try coming out with a story or incident that they can relate to. then again most of the time these stories will sound like a conspiracy theory,

i am using Reolink E1 Pro, set it up on my iot LAN (no internet), and connect it to home assistant.

“opensource compatible” - sort of, with onvif and rtmp*rtsp.

i suppose any camera with these two should work.

the initial setup requires the Reolink app tho, to enable onvif and rtmp

We’re deeply grateful for his vision, which made Proxmox accessible to so many.

To tteck: Your impact will be felt in this community for years to come. We thank you for everything.

No he is saying that many smart devices ignore your DNS (pi-hole) as they hardcoded their DNS address to 8.8.8.8. So it is important to have an additional layer to block at the firewall.
