    Frigate is popular.

    I used to use ZoneMinder, it worked well, but you must be very familiar with onvif, primary/secondary channels, and key frames for it to work well.

    I only switched to frigate because of the person/animal detection. It’s ok, but it does need some polish in a few areas like event retention, and it could stand some more approachable documentation.










  • Permissive licensing can create what is effectively “software tivoization” (the restriction or dirty interpretation of distribution and modification rights of software by the inclusion of differently-licensed components).

    The Bitwarden case is a good example of how much damage can be done to a brand with merely the perception of restrictive licensing. obviously, bitwarden has clarified the mess, but not before it was being called ‘proprietary’ by the whole oss community.

    So I don’t think op is referring to direct corporate takeover, but damage caused by corporate abuse of a fork.









  • Portability is not really an aspect one needs to consider when it comes to a NAS

    Hard disagree, and it is one of the best things about ZFS. You can plunk a ZFS pool on another system and be almost certain it will import. Systems die. Having been through several data-loss incidents, I find it is much preferable to be able to pull 1 disk than have to drag out 2 or three to transplant a ZFS pool.

    Regarding the scrubs, I was trying to indicate that ZFS is more than just a raid manager, there are advantages to ZFS on even a single disk.

    for a home NAS, the goal is maximising data storage capacity without a major hit on performance

    If that were entirely true, striping would be the most popular ZFS pool arrangement, since you get performance and max storage.

    Edit: this was not to say “you’re wrong”, just different approaches to storage.
