  • Going to watch the video but my experience has been that the programs do nothing to influence advancement opportunities and negatively impact hiring actions. What it does do is make it nearly impossible to move on from a diversity employee. Just last year my former employer finally had a black woman retire and was able to hire a full time engineer in her place. She was a UNIX administrator for a couple decades, got pissed when the organization started replacing end points with windows and Linux and once NIS was replaced spent the last 20 years of her career coming into work, putting her feet up on the desk and reading a book until she left to go home, nothing for her to do, they didn’t have UNIX anymore and she wasn’t going to touch anything else, not even the Linux systems. I mean good for her, I don’t give a shit about my former employer, she was very friendly and intelligent and I enjoyed stopping by and hanging out with her during breaks sometimes but she would have been gone in a week at most if she wasn’t a diversity employee. That is the most extreme example I have directly experienced but it is an entirely different conversation, bordering on impossible, if a diversity employee needs let go so what ends up happening is hiring a diverse employee is almost like putting your career on the line that they succeed whereas a non diverse employee that is hired and isn’t performing can been given a 30 day PIP, 30 day final written warning, and then part ways.



















  • I really appreciate your comment but yes, I use frigate on an HAOS system. It works incredible and I have six of their cameras running along with four others from a different brand. The other four I can manipulate completely via Firefox on HAOS. The Reolink cameras just have no other option than doing the initial setup and advanced configurations from windows. So I keep a lab pc connected to that environment just so if I want to tweek anything like fps, resolution, network settings (IP, gateway, etc) that I’m able to do so. The web interface once enabling the https service on the camera has garbage capabilities compared to my other cameras. It’s not a huge deal, I haven’t had to get into them for advanced settings in a few months but it really annoys me that I can’t do initial configuration and advanced settings from Linux.
