I’m going to install cameras on exterior of house. They are PoE cameras so I’ll need to run 4 Ethernet cables through an exterior wall which is brick. When I was a cable tech I’d just use a masonry bit, pop a hole and run the wire. But this was just with one wire. Small hole. NBD. This one will be big enough to hold 4 cables. Once they’re through I can bolt on some conduit to reach the vinyl siding and hide it from there to the cameras. Consequently I need to run two extra from this same location to go into the attic and wall drop to a computer and WiFi access point.

Does there exist something to go into the hole or make the transition to conduit. I’d like this to not leak water in the house. If it turns out I can use the flat conduit and stick all 6 in that would be sweet. Will I need outdoor wire for this if it’s not going in the ground, just hidden under the siding?

Thanks.

Edit: It’s a 2 story house so going through the ceiling to access the attic is out.

Is 200 bad to get up to if it’s just once every couple of weeks? I ate a chilli cheeseburger a few weeks ago and mornings I’m at 75-95. Am I setting myself up for failure?

So I'm using Rustdesk to connect to my linux mint machine with Cinnamon. When I press up for last command in a terminal or when I'm editing text it just takes a screenshot instead of moving the text cursor. I'm unsure which has control of that. Thanks.

Work email is exchange. They have disabled the ability to block or have a junk folder because “it would confuse people.”

Is there an email client that allows filtering client side to delete or move to junk unwanted emails. Paid or free is fine but no subscription.

I tried Typeapp but it wouldn’t connect to exchange.

Tried that and it ran but I had an error in my script. I know it ran because it created a file. When I was testing I had filename_${USER}.csv and cron created filename_.csv. So I made it an absolute path in the script.

If I set it to every minute I get results. Setting it to every 2 hours or every hour doesn’t write to my .csv file. What gives?
