S. can have all the 'advanced manufacturing' in the world but there is only ~250k new car sales a year. Compare to 34M in China it's 250k+ sales a month.

And the person which knows what DD-WRT is knows where and how to get it for a good (for them) price.

So you target audience is already has their needs fulfilled and you don't add any additional value worth the increased price.

EDIT: and $120 for the Kingston ones, albeit LP variant.

Sorry.

I can't qualify for the $5 here, but:

I have a bunch of them what faciliate the needs to access the network resources what block my $default connection.

I'm running my own NS on them and this is always a question if does really worth it - but it works for me, including hosting a dozen of domains and not being depended on any 3rd party, including the bills and their web interfaces, along with tge security shenanigans[0].

There is Forgejo, Syncthing relay, Syncthing client and a file server for the most important things.

Formerly there was a NextCloud instance as a gateway to access the before mentioned fileserver.

Zabbix server never made it to a rented monitoring service but it is still warns me about the problems way before even the $job one does.

Oh, I'm running docker-mailserver which backups my mail from a couple accounts I do have.

[0] I do have and had services what locked out me of my accounts for my security. It's quite a sad experience.

Like just 15 minuts ago I opened Untappd likr a bazillion times before and were present with 15 screens of toggles and like 250 entities at least. There were at least 10 permissions to give the consent to track the things I do outside the app.

So not only a detailed reason for the permission wouldn't work, it wouldn't be implemented in the first place,

In your case you already have way more than monitoring. You have the infrastructure designed for resilience. You have that design implemented. You have the protocols to do if the things go north. You have automation to disregard minor events and to bring to the attention more serious things. You have way more than monitoring alone.

No?

Like, okay, monitoring reports what there is no link.

Now what? Somebody gets a hi vis vest, a hard hat and goes along the cable to investigate the reason?

There is nothing monitoring could help, especially if the cable was cut recent enough.

Just now it's 10 dead of 30, #30 is just '48 minutes ago'.

> Lot of the time it is stuff I'm not surprised is dead.

You can't see something doesn't exist [anymore].

Of course it's a lottery if it would work on a kitbashed homelab case.

There is a firehose of the dead submissions and this is a good day today - just about 1 per minute and only 30% are dead. Somedays it's much, much worse.

HN attracts every wannabe out there and there is always a banal spam. So no wonder people don't want^W have time to hand hold anyone.

It doesn't matter how much the property is valued if your work is somewhere else.

Or even fancier - just changing the price for the egress.

So turn off the camera, open the memory card slot cover which is flimsy 1mm prong, eject the card, insert it in the reader (if you have SD reader) or fiddle the microSD first from the convertor and then insert, copy, (insert microSD to SD convertor), open up slot cover, insert the card.

Surely beats just connecting the camera to the WiFi (which it does have anyway) and downloading through SMB. Suuure.

S9900 from 15 years ago had a built-in GPS receiver (and absolutely unneeded and never updated POI system). P1100 needs a smartphone for GPS for whatever reason - and app doesn't work 5 times from 5. But the latter is on me, I knew what I would get when I bought Nikon.
