When planning a home security system, it's better to choose a system that can work offline and doesn't rely on Wi-Fi. <\/p>\n\n<p>In my case, I set up home surveillance with Ubiquty devices, which have no subscription fees, can work 100% offline, and are connected via an ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.\nSo yesterday, when my friend visited me and asked, \"Did you have an issue with your Ring doorbell?\" I didn't know what he was talking about because my doorbell is not Ring and doesn't require an internet connection to work correctly. <\/p>\n<p>You can check Ubiquiti security products here \ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/store.ui.com\/us\/en\/category\/all-cameras-nvrs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ubiquiti cameras and NVRs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This type of conversation usually brings up the other important aspect of home security\/surveillance, which is the price of the setup.\nYes, the offline option usually costs more in a one-time purchase, while with a subscription service, you pay less upfront but (probably) more over the long term.\nHowever, as with recent issues with Ring show, it's better to save a bit more money for a more reliable setup and be confident it will work as expected. <\/p>\n<p>I welcome you to discuss this topic with me in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/vasylstetsyuk_the-aws-outage-killed-ring-my-cameras-kept-activity-7386437182959382528-nXw7?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAGXEUEBuzWGeOVmQWho8SCfP5dAFHte3_g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Related news:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2947084\/the-aws-outage-took-down-my-ring-cam-and-everyone-elses-too.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The AWS outage took down my Ring cam, and everyone else's too<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2025\/10\/20\/ring-doorbell-outage-today\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ring Doorbell Outage Today: Why the App Isn't Working &amp; Its Status<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalcameraworld.com\/news\/amazons-ring-outage-what-happened-will-it-happen-again-and-can-you-still-trust-ring-cameras?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon's Ring outage: what happened, will it happen again, and can you still trust Ring cameras?<\/a><\/p>","tags":["featured","security","networking","hardware","AWS","Ubiquiti"],"image":"\/website_3fb70d22\/user\/pages\/02.blog\/13.the-aws-outage-killed-ring-my-cameras-kept-rolling\/The AWS Outage Killed Ring My Cameras Kept Rolling copy.jpg"},{"title":"In Case Of Layoff","date_published":"2025-10-11T13:54:00-06:00","id":"https:\/\/mail.lyserty.com\/website_3fb70d22\/blog\/in-case-of-layoff","url":"https:\/\/mail.lyserty.com\/website_3fb70d22\/blog\/in-case-of-layoff","content_html":"<p>This \"guide\" is just a way for me to express my thoughts regarding layoffs.\nI hope that people will find it helpful and maybe share their experiences by contributing to the repo.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Give yourself some time\nThis news, in most cases, is not expected.

Recently, I was tasked with setting up a service that could transcribe audio into text locally, without relying on an internet connection. This service needed to run on a Linux system, ensuring reliability and security in a contained environment.\nSolution Exploration<\/p>\n<p>After some research, I identified OpenAI Whisper as a potential solution.

LinkedIn, a primary platform for professional networking, should perform this process seamlessly. Unfortunately, I've encountered a recurring issue on various company LinkedIn accounts that hampers this experience. While this problem is significant, the real frustration was in the user experience when attempting to report the bug to LinkedIn support.<\/p>\n<h3>Issue<\/h3>\n<p>When navigating to the \"People\" section on a company's LinkedIn page, the \"How you are connected\" card indicates that I have one second-party connection within the company.<br>\nHowever, clicking on this card results in LinkedIn displaying \"0 associated members\" instead of the expected connection.<br>\nThis issue also appears with first-party connections, undermining the platform's utility in leveraging professional networks.<\/p>\n<h3>Bug reporting user experience<\/h3>\n<p>For me, as a Software Quality Assurance specialist, having an issue with a web service is an expected part of using any web service; nothing is perfect. But in this case, what could have been a bug report that took two minutes to submit turned into a chat with support that took around half an hour. I tried to find a bug report form but stumbled upon support chat, and that's where weird stuff began.\nThe customer support experience was less than helpful, with responses that seemed more like automated scripts than personalized assistance. &#128563;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Sam: Hello! I can get you with our premium team who can further assist you with locating credits. We work with ad accounts here in LMS.<br>\nI am looking for the answer currently: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/answer\/a570070?hcppcid=search<br>\nSam: Here we go! https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/answer\/a546814?hcppcid=search<br>\nVasyl Stetsyuk: What Is that?<br>\nVasyl Stetsyuk: I'm looking where I can report a bug.<br>\nSam: An explanation of how to send in mails if you have premium!<br>\nVasyl Stetsyuk: why you decided I need to send in mails?<br>\nSam: Not sure where to start? You can try:<br>\n&bull; How do I find my InMail credits?<br>\n&bull; How can admins manage permissions for other admins?:Ho can I submit a bug report?<br>\nWhen experiencing issues with the LinkedIn Windows desktop app, you can easily submit crash logs to help identify and fix problems quickly. Here's how to submit a bug report:<br>\nSam: What did you need help with Vasyl?  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Eventually, it became apparent that LinkedIn lacks a specific bug reporting form. Even after sharing screenshots and a detailed description, the support team struggled to comprehend the issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Sam: do you not see those demographics?<br>\nVasyl Stetsyuk: It tells me I have 1 second party connection but when I click on it, it shows ZERO<br>\nSam: I can escalate and have our engineers review it from your side!  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>A seamless bug-reporting process is vital for IT professionals. Companies with clear, easily accessible bug report forms demonstrate a commitment to their users, earning extra karma points in my eyes. It is disappointing to see a major platform like LinkedIn lacking such a feature. I hope LinkedIn addresses this gap and enhances the overall user experience for everyone.

Grav also has built-in backup option in its admin panel if you more a UI person.<\/li>\n<li>Faster - I'm not worried about a fast page load, but it's nice.<\/li>\n<li>Grav - It has enough extensions and features to be used for a personal blog.<\/li>\n<li>Simplicity - Posts in Grav are .md files in the folder. Besides, you can create a blog post in CLI or manage it in the git repo (that's what I plan to do at some poiunt). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Installation<\/h3>\n<p>The process is very straightforward.
