Firmware in all the consumer devices I want to hack, but don’t want to reverse engineer.

Tired of Jeff Bezos controlling your doorbell cam? I made a privacy focused one that's based on an ESP32 with local Home Assistant integration. in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

I’m in the process of trying something like this. The cameras I bought have serial ports and firmware packages that can be reverse engineered. That’s where I’m currently at; just having the knowledge that it’s possible. I haven’t reverse engineered anything before, so if my attempts don’t work my backup plan is to harvest the the raw components and cobble together my own firmware on a different MCU.

My god, I hadn’t caught up with this channel in awhile. Last I was there they had three videos.

I just popped my head in and HOLY SHIIIIT

If the ideal setup is many medium sized instances rather than a few huge ones, wouldn't that mean users would need to subscribe to duplicate communities in all of those instances? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

I wonder if this level of abstraction will mean a long-term sustainment of the golden days that past social platforms have had in early adopter periods. Specifically I mean platforms that predate Reddit, eg. Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, even FB in the pre-genpop days. Prior to that is before my time of early adoption (MySpace, LiveJournal, Friendster), so I have less historical context.
