This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.

He records them and shares it with the world.

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

@ascherbaum I know Jellyfin has a DLNA plugin that can be used, not really a standalone solution and might be too much for RPI. Also not sure how well it plays if running in a container.

@ascherbaum I believe there are a few open source implementations of DLNA to allow similar functionality to Chromecast. But I'm not sure if those are ready for primetime prod use cases.

At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is an open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS around the world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying
