  • If security is a big concern then you may benefit from going professional route as an alternative to open source route.

    NDI is kind of big player in broadcasting space and does a pretty good job as a wireless camera. You’d install NDI HX Camera on your phone, and use NDI Webcam from NDI Tools to get the cam feed from your Mac.

    You can also use it to do silly Picture in Picture setup with OBS to have multiple angles of yourself (or, probably the more common use case, multiple subjects), captured and streamed simultaneously. Our little one wanted to take drawing class during COVID and we did the PinP setup for her zoom, laptop camera at her, and tripod with phone pointed at her drawing. The teacher really liked it and was able to work with her on some techniques.



  • I can see some features being useful.

    Removing unwanted people from photos seems table steak but it’s nice to see them catching up.

    Siri being screen aware is going to be a lot more helpful than what it currently can do.

    I’m at least intrigued at how the integration across different devices will play out with the private cloud thing.

    Overall, seems like an acceptable privacy focused entrance into the LLM driven AI world most would expect from Apple.












  • If you have enough drive bays, I’d probably shutdown the server, live boot into any linux distro without mounting the drives, then use dd to copy from 1st 256GB to 1st 500GB, from 2nd 256GB to 2nd 500GB, then boot the system, and use resize2fs to expand the file system to fill the partition.

    Since RAID1 is just a mirror, the more adventurous type might say you can just hot swap one drive, let it rebuild, then hot swap the other, let it rebuild again, and then expand the file system all online live. Given it is only 256GB of data max, on a pair of SSD, it shouldn’t take too long, but I’m more inclined to do it safely.
