  • It was actually a friend who told me about this problem. Apparently CIFS file transfers slowed to something like 3Mbps when the camera were on.

    I personally heeded the warning and my cameras are on their own NIC port and their own subnet. They hit the same server and same switch, but they do not share a cable with my main LAN at any point.

    It’a not just GPU, memory and disk. It will clobber your network if they share any cables.

    Cameras are extremely chatty and will bring your LAN speeds to a crawl by constantly chirping small packets across the wire.

    Absolutely do not ever put a 24x7 camera stream on WiFi. It’s a straight up DoS attack on yourself.







  • The only issue is your phone collecting location data and then relaying it to somewhere in the internet.

    The privacy risk is when things have location access AND internet access.

    I’m fairly certain my phone is not accessing my location unless I ask it to (I have GrapheneOS). But it’s absolutely pinging my location when I open a map or upload a photo to the internet. I do those things sparingly.


  • The problem is this also blocks SMS from those outside your contacts. It will be an issue with 2FA.

    I created a “Do not disturb” profile that only blocks voice calls for non-contacts. SMS still comes through. My ringtone is a silent file, but that’s just my preference.

    In the DND profile, I only allowed messaging apps to show notifications. I don’t care about the rest.
