    Originally posted by WellHung I still got a long ways to go.

    I strongly support and encourage your efforts.

    You'll notice gradually that people who were once mean to you, will start being nicer to you in return.

    And those that don't... It'll just expose their true colors.

    "No I'm trying to make the worlds longest crack smoking apparatus"

    That reminds me of back when I was living out of a minivan, and went into a Home Depot to find the parts to make a custom urinal in the back (having to get out of a car to take a piss outdoors multiple times a day becomes quite tedious).

    I was trying to describe all the parts I needed, but didn't really want to say outright what it was for... Eventually he was like "ohh, it sounds like you want to build a beer bong... we get young guys in here all the time trying to make those."

    So I was just like... "Yeah, a beer bong! I'm building a beer bong."

    Originally posted by Ghost is there a time limit on catbox? I can't download it on this computer or it will explode I gotta use my laptop

    I'm actually not even sure. I hadn't heard of catbox until whoami mentioned it in this thread.

    And the website doesn't seem to indicate that they have a time limit, even in the FAQ.



    whoami, do you happen to know?

    You can always replace the randomized string to the original file name (before I uploaded it to catbox):

    Well TIL...

    Luckily it's 198 MB...

    Catbox has a limit of 200 MB.

    You don't need to. I could do it since it's almost done downloading for me (and it's super slow downloading from these video ripping sites).

    Generally speaking, are there really any non-nefarious purposes for this?

    Whatever the case ethically, I would imagine that, assuming you already know where your target is (tracking them down would require a completely different set of skills, tools, and resources), then you would probably want:
    1. An audio amplifier (you see these in the movies all the time... they look like a portable satellite dish that you just point at whomever you're trying hear from a distance). Obviously an audio recorder would come in handy as well.
    2. A decent camera with long range zoom capabilities.
    3. If you have physical access to a regular location of theirs, you could install spy cams that blend in so they are virtually undetectable, and an audio bug as well.

    Now, tracking them down, that's a whole other story. If that's part of your goal, we could get into that.

    I was able to do it from this website:

    https://en.savefrom.net/

    WARNING: The site is absolutely PACKED with ads, misleading links, and mostly tries to get you to install their video downloader software.

    There are also plenty of obnoxious pop-ups.

    But it works if you copy and paste the link into the search box at the top left of the site, and click the forward arrow inside a green button DIRECTLY TO THE RIGHT of the search text box.

    It saves it as Japan - A Story of Love and Hate BBC Documentary.mp4 (198 MB).

    This is Canada, so guns aren't anywhere near as abundant as in the US.

    BUT, it just so happens that at least one of the visitors I sometimes get owns several guns. Mostly low caliber though, so I'm not super worried. Anyway, I get along with her, so I doubt she'd attack my fortress.

    Originally posted by Technologist Has anyone penetrated you yet?



    Your double entendre had me thinking of the sexual connotations way before the non-sexual concept, my fortress being penetrated by intruders, hit me.

    But no, in neither sense have I really been penetrated.

    Originally posted by -SpectraL I would use super sonic force fields. If the intruder steps into the field, all the molecules in his body get scrambled and start to fall apart, and he just turns into a liquid pile of jello-like material.

    Perhaps a tad overkill...

    Also, what do you do with the human-jello remains?

    I was born in 1984, so I would have been... 15 (so I think you and I are the same age).

    Ok it actually wasn't 1999, it might have been 2001 or even 2002.

    The point being that it was a relatively long time ago. And it was a defining moment in my life.

    Originally posted by tee hee hee Looks complicated. Give up and have a drink instead.

    That would often be my go to response.

    But not this time.

    I will, however, have a few celebratory drinks when the projects done.

    Originally posted by aldra typically those intercoms run a constant 5v, when you interrupt it the door lock releases.

    I actually planned on doing something similar before I moved out of the place that had that system; I had a bluetooth hardware ID detection script running off of a raspberry pi, and I meant to wire a relay in to the intercom system so the pi could trigger a disconnection on the door lock line when my phone was detected.

    Need more specifics to give you proper advice.

    I am so glad you came along to this thread! What are the chances someone knowledgeable around here actually engaged in the exact same project essentially?

    Originally posted by aldra 1. What exactly are you trying to do

    I go through a lot of the "why" and the end goals in my "Constructing an Impenetrable Fortress" thread.

    But essentially, I want to completely wire everything into a small computer that I can run my own code on (i.e. a Raspberry Pi), and integrate everything into my network. That way, I can intercept front door "calls" and route them in all kinds of ways, even to SMS to my phone via text-to-speech, and even get notifications when I'm not at home, etc...

    There are lots of cool possibilities, some very useful, others just fun quite frankly.

    Originally posted by aldra 2. Get a multimeter and test voltages. Arduino typically signals on 5v so if your intercom is running on 12v for example, you're going to need to consider that.

    I have a multimeter lying around... I haven't used it in at least a year, but I imagine it still works. I can easily get another one if that's not the case. They aren't that expensive.

    But, really good suggestion though! I was thinking I was going to have to test the wires in some convoluted trial-and-error kind of way, directly into the Arduino. But a multimeter can tell me a lot about the signal that each wire is transmitting.


    Originally posted by aldra Yes the audio lines are analogue, but decoding audio is more complicated than just attaching them to analogue pins. Why do you want to capture audio at all? If it's for some kind of voice recognition or command, arduino boards are not powerful enough and you'll need to pass the audio on to a computer or something for processing.

    I'm definitely prepared to incorporate a computer interface (Raspberry Pi most likely).

    Is what that snab snib character said true about the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT being directly connectable to a computers AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT (obviously assuming I have soldered each wire to an auxiliary audio cable)?

    That could potentially make things a lot easier, EXCEPT, smaller computers like RPis only have AUDIO OUT.

    I suppose I could opt for an actual regular computer, I could just get something used or find something super old, but the smaller the better.

    That is, of course, assuming that this "snab snib" is even right about that...

    Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country I know enough about electrics to know not to fool with it if it isn't necessary.

    It's pretty much not necessary, but it would give me all kinds of advantages like silencing the "buzzer" for certain periods of the day, and also changing the obnoxious buzzing sound to something a bit more subtle and pleasant, etc.

    And, of course, the whole process appeals to me for it's educational value.

    There was no question to answer tho... :(

    You were establishing a scenario and fulfilling it at the same time.

    Piece of work; piece of shit... It's all the same in the end.

    We're in it together.
