/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It's a glorious day on Kyoto Cam, October overall is the best weather in Japan, a country which routinely has some pretty shit weather.

The menace has been vanquished

Going through typhoon footage bit by bit. Lots of it is unusable due to the worst happening during night hours.

It was even higher than this in the dark, as indicated by the washed out area across the bridge

>>22258449
lol, i wish more cameras came with this feature.
I don't know how many times i have given up on watching cameras because there is something on the lens or housing window and no one seems bothered enough to do anything about it for months.

people cleaning their houses, throwing in the streets all the stuff that get ruined; I've seen pics with tons of furnitures and all sort of things lined up; can't imagine the mess if it starts raining again

death toll updated to 77
10 still missing

Shrine cam's had a maintenance message for the last day. If it comes back with a new hardware I'll be ecstatic, but I'm not banking on it.
>>22260986
Probably all elderly, I'd assume.

Camera seems slightly blurry again.

>>22260986
This typhoon really made quite a mess, i would say it is very lucky the death toll isn't much higher considering how many rural towns and villages are built in steep valleys right on the banks of rivers and streams.
Many people also underestimate the danger of mudslides that can come even a while after the storm itself has passed.

>>22262767
Yeah I was thinking "what kinda dummies build in a valley next to a river where a 4 meter wide wall is all that separates them from being inundated"
but then I remember the Japanese are the most tenacious people on Earth in the face of disasters, it's part of life. You build higher to avoid floods and then eat an earthquake for your effort.

I was impressed by this wave traveling down the entire length of the road. This is from before it made landfall and was still kinda far from Shizuoka.
Bless low bitrate cameras, they're so easy to get in 4chan's size limit.

Clickbait thumbnail, for a split second i thought that the Kabukicho stream was back

Feels bad that it took me a full year to get to this footage. Feels worse there's nothing interesting in all 5 hours of it.

>>22270409
Looks comfy anon, so it's ok.

>>22270409
I am not the tourist type, but when I was looking on google maps around my soon to be university and where other places are, I started noticing all the little shrines and temples. Even if I knew there are many, to actually see them on a map was kind of impactful. Some of them are literally between houses. Like, in a district of houses and randomly one of the courtyards doesn't have a house, but a shrine. Will definitely go explore all the close ones. Who knows, that might as well motivate me to go to others too. Yasukuni is just on a bit longer walk too. Probably the biggest one around, though I wouldn't known.

>>22273035
Yup. There's shrines for different purposes too. It's why red seal collecting became so big recently, people wanted to fill out books while also seeing the sights.
There was some negative views on that practice though. I think the staff of a particular one put out an article basically asking for decency - come there to pray, not to stand in lines and wait for your sticker then immediately get in your car and drive to the next one.

Something about how overwhelmed staff were with trying to keep up with lines of people that wanted their books stamped, instead of being available for more important things. I wish I bookmarked it, it was put out last year at the height of the trend.

>>22272984
You want comfy? Have some Kanna snowfall.

>>22275123
Well, I am not so oblivious to not know that there are shrines for different gods and so different reasons to go to pray.
That said I would like to do quite the opposite. Probably hoping for too much from Shinjuku, but finding a quite place where I can pay my respect and then be alone and just sit or lie down is what I am hoping to do. So actually I want to find at least one where I can stand for a while, not just go and fuck off.

>>22275212
Then you gotta go innawoods outside of the cities, probably in February when you aren't being destroyed by mosquitos.

As of right now, the 3rd highest watched live cam is from UCV, streaming a view of the Chikuma river a week after the flood.

Been watching this 34/7, it's 5am now and the streets are teaming, oh how I was I was there with a few strong zeros under my belt macking on kawaii.

This little guy/gal is just too cute.

>>22275212
Suggestion for a shrine within Tokyo which is a little bit more out the way but of a good size and has a good wooded area next to it would be Akasaka Hikawa Jinja. There's some interesting history there too. Staff are friendly and will chat if you want to chat but its not a tourist spot thankfully!

>>22277298
just had a look at the cat cafe stream. one of the kittens has a bit watery eyes and was scared of the human hand when toys were being put in. feels like they're being kept in that small room for too long or something wrong with the health. they're cute but i can't help but feel a little bad

>>22285884
most Japanese zoos and animal cafes would be investigated for conditions and animal welfare if located anywhere else in the world.

>>22286431
case in point that fucking stream of the polar bears stuck in a pond that just do back dives by themselves for 9+ hours a day because they have nowhere to go and nothing to see

>>22286431
>>22286441
damn that's awful, didn't think they were on chinese standards with regards to the polar bear.

>>22258449
>the spider appearing in and out of frame

>>22287161
It's useless to try and understand or rationalize what the Chinese do to animals, all their good men were killed by communism and the remaining society are just identical drones with nothing we can relate to in regards to moral fabric. They're willing to kill eachother for nothing, so animals (being beneath that) are more disposable.
The Japanese zoos are just extremely cramped and unnatural. It'd be a lie to say they don't care about animals - obviously they have trainers that care and try to give the best service they can. But it's just too small, you need like 2 acres minimum for a bear to not feel like it's trapped.

>>22287296
yes the japanese in general have a more humane view of animal welfare. hopefully the standards can increase in both countries - in china as people get wealthier and more educated, zoo standards should improve - in japan, due to the declining population there should be more space in the future for enclosures

Anyway. I don't think the next two typhoons will cause much trouble given their predicted paths, but it'd be the second time this year two appear at the same time. Spooky.

Lots of mountainous regions with nothing for 30km in each direction, it's the 'mountainous' part that is the problem. Perhaps I'm super naive on this and they DO have numerous wildlife enclosures in the rugged hills, either intended for conservation or as an attraction.

>>22287389
I fucked up that crop, here's a better look anyhow.

The river walls are slowly being reconstructed. Crews are working all day and night out here.

>>22288678
I was surprised at how the river wall looked to be mainly just dirt before, except for a low stone foundation at the base, no wonder it was easily weakened until it collapsed.
I thought the Japanese were experienced at things like this, even most small mountain villages seem to have well constructed stone walls where rivers are expected to rise and could erode the riverbank.
I am guessing whoever planned and constructed it is sweating pretty bad at the moment.

>>22288785
Could have also been set up ages ago and whoever built it is long gone. Maybe it was a long time coming.
I am not up to date with the actual wall collapse that flooded a ton of houses, I've just kept UCV on because I love its background music.

I thought I was seeing things. It was indeed a truck.

Did you notice the bottom left identifies the train based on its colors?

>>22294030
Yup, the cammer has been doing that for a while now. It's hit or miss on some of the more unique trains or if the sun is directly at the camera. It's pretty cool to see which model is passing by even if one can't read moon runes.

>>22299060
They've become so common that people aren't even fazed.

The channel that used to have a camera aimed at the Sendai Station, from Sendai MARK-ONE, is now hosting from Miyagi Television across town and looks at a highway. There's muffled, quiet sound one could boost if they wanted to.
I say "now" with confusion because the below link has been running since February but my bookmark always took me to the old camera angle.

Alright, did some 3D snooping and figured it out.
So first here's the old camera position (you may instantly recognize the terminal), then the next post is where the camera is now.

>>22299651
Huh, more changed cameras. The wakuwaku shop camera in Osaka Tower now points at their famous stage (a lot of upstart idol groups and those weird trained monkey gigs perform on it)
This sucks because I liked watching conversations near the shops.

Literally the only thing I watch right now, reminds me of the Kabukicho cam but not quite as good. Amazing quality though.

My favourite bit is watching between 4am and 6am as late night weirdos, drunks and misfits turn into the early morning cleaners, salarymen and elderly.

Can I get a link to the stream? I see this station posted all the time.

>>22346497
The OP.

I recorded 6 hours of Shibuya crossing overnight. The crowds were absolutely ludicrous, not a single view of pavement unless it was near the police vehicle they had posted.

what are barriers?
a crush incident waiting to happen

>>22347981
holy shit how can that be considered fun in any way?

>>22347981
I was caught in that last night. Most of the night it was fine, people were just walking at normal pace. But for some reason there were these pockets of people shoving each other through. I couldn't even see the cause. The police were in front of us so I don't think it was the police. Maybe i twas just a few people that started a domino effect of people losing their balance. You can see there is a very define stream of people getting pushed; it was bizarre.

>>22348879
It wasn't fun at all. I think it wasn't always this bad, several years ago. But it's been getting worse over the years. The police presence has been increasing at the same rate each year too. A few years ago you could walk around at your own pace and admire everyone's costume. Now it's this.

>>22349051
Yeah that sounds bad, god help you if you're shorter than average and get caught in that

>>22349051
The police pulled in with a truck later that had a warning message not to fly drones in the area, but since the stream has no audio I don't know if they were there to direct crowds or what.

There must be a hundred people there. Maybe a more. A lot of them out of screen, behind hte camera.

You can go pee brother, I'm recording this for a bit.
I dunno if the footage will come out all stuttery like it did before.

>>22355127
I was talking about that specific moment. After that train I went peeing. Also setted up my OBS to record too. Always forget to use game capture, not window capture.

>>22355132
OBS was junk so I actually just got Shadowplay back for anything I can't throw into VLC. VLC is actually pretty weird with this particular stream, I posted footage a while ago where it seems to skip frames.

>>22355149
Yup. Footage is basically unusable if I record in VLC. It plays in slow motion and then jumps a bunch

I love driving in the Japanese countryside.

>>22355514
Was the other one a gaijin or just a drunk/sleepy? Guess we will never know.

>>22355544
The scariest thing about driving in Japan is that most of the roads don't have any form of shoulder.
Whether it is cities, towns, villages, country or driving between rice fields, there's almost never a shoulder. And often there are ditches, foot deep drains, small concrete barriers protecting the footpath and even fucking power poles right near the edge of the lane.
If someone is intruding in your lane you've either got no where to go or you take a chance crashing into a drain or ditch/field because you're probably more likely to survive that than a head-on collision.

>>22355936
I used to live in an area like that, rural Saskatchewan though. Roads where as soon as the asphalt ends, you're on a 50 degree gradient or worse.
Then they never rip up roads, they just layer more tar on top of them so the edge gets steeper and steeper. One tire slips off the edge and you either roll your car or shred your underbody while stopping.

tell me your secret

i want to know why VLC refuses to record this without horrendous stuttering and speed anomalies

>>22381415
>horrendous stuttering and speed anomalies
Are you playing it back with VLC when you get these? Don't.
Either convert it straight to webm, run it through editing software or preview it with some other media player.

If i look at what i have recorded in VLC it looks horrible as well, switching between slowmotion, screen tearing and skipping parts entirely, yet after converting it to webm VLC plays it just fine.
Just another one of those weird VLC things.

>>22381457
i record through VLC and then the footage is like that regardless of what I play it in, even direct uploads to sites

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTJJC4gfSAU

>>22382004
Only other thing i can think of is if you have other recordings running and buffers or write speed to the hard drive can't keep up.
I know if i am recording some 720p streams from youtube and try to record that stream i get a lot of stuttering and screen tears.

>>22384243
Nah, it isn't that. I agree with the person who said VLC is black magic that works based on who you are and where you live.

>>22384997
>I agree with the person who said VLC is black magic that works based on who you are and where you live.
True, if it weren't for the fact that it is so far the only player i have come across that reliably plays (and records) everything from single fps MJPG IP cameras at high latency to 1080p youtube streams without breaking the recording every time the stream buffers i would probably have stopped using it long ago.
Either way, the Yunikami stream does seem to be a lot more finicky to get working reliably.

I just noticed i am not using the latest version of VLC, got 3.0.2 here, so if you are using a newer version it might be worth trying a downgrade.

>>22385185
I already had to downgrade to 3.0.7 (from 3.0.8) to get audio working.
It's such a bizarre program.

I think it may be a tad preemptive but I fixed that Instant Replay issue. My webcam being plugged in causes an infinite audio loop upon closing any media or application, as long as instant replay is turned on.
The issue persisted through a fresh reinstall of Windows (unrelated) as well as several driver upgrades/downgrades/reinstalls, and is apparently so obscure it yields no results when I try to search for what other people did to fix it.
So I unplug my webcam and it immediately goes away. What the fuck.

>>22399307
if it comes back I'll be disappointed because that means having to actually start troubleshooting again, but for now I will again have a secondary method of capture

with the shrine camera being low quality sludge for the near future, i've taken to watching corners and the pit at Ebisu when they hold events.

>>22417584
Wonder how they would react if someone sent them this.

>>22426352
Probably ridiculously embarrassed and feel vulnerable. I know I'd never let someone know I saw them on a camera, because I'd hate to have it happen to me - and I'm not the one with family members in permanent archival, you know?

>>22426929
How hidden could that camera be? I mean it looks at least to be very close to them.

>>22428482
I mean, one could reasonably assume a camera is just for security, not a 24/7 broadcast somewhere.
I dunno, just the way I see it.

>>22430296
Would nips be good enough to put a sign?

>>22430296
>>22430323
Most people never even notice that there are cameras, even with signs pointing them out.
If there isn't a very obvious blinking light or something else drawing attention to it there really isn't anything about a camera that stands out, and someone that from the cameras point of view looks to be staring right at it could really just be reading a sign next to it without the camera even registering in their mind.

>>22426352
I know you are probably just being hypothetical or joking about it but if you were to be serious, just don't. Sometimes you get a fun reaction to it, sometimes they might even be friendly.
But then there are those that freak out completely.

More then once i have been accused of harassment because i contacted places that for some reason or other streamed unintentionally and people freaked out, or even worse once IT and security got involved they tried to make me out to be some sort of crazy stalker that had hacked their cameras just because they didn't want to admit they fucked up their configuration in the first place.
In the end all that came from it was a few amusing email exchanges with some pretty cool cops (and less cool Head of IT for the company) that seemed to understand this wasn't really worthy of investigation.

But, this being a youtube stream things aren't as legally grey as they were in those cases.
That said, if i can point my browser to something and get a live feed without authentication i do not count that as "hacking" that's publicly accessible in my eyes, regardless of if that is intentional or not.

>>22430685
Yeah, if I ever found something like an unsecured webcam and there was a woman within 500 miles of its view, I'd be afraid to tell lest I get accused of e-stalking or something.

I don't know what setting makes channels only have 3 hours rewind but I miss being able to go back a whole day or so for a lot of streams.
When I wake up in the morning it's already 1AM in Japan so I never get a chance to go back and look at sunsets or similar.

>>22435760
What stream? In June I believe it was when in Tokyo the sunrise is at around 4:30.

>>22435768
such as cafe cahaya bulan, but also many others related to trains and not trains.
It all seemed to happen this past summer, that many channels had their maximum rewind limit significantly lowered.

Thanks a bunch, I hope this lets me stay on top of any URL changes.

Not sure what they are doing, just replacing windows or maybe filling in with insulation and sealing cracks?
The combination of temperature difference inside and out and moisture must make these types of bathhouse buildings problematic to work on.
Insulate too little and they will be freezing indoors in the winter, insulate and plug gaps too much and you get trapped moisture and probably mold everywhere.

Also rare to see the camera move this much, must be pretty windy.

>>22451474
Yeah, I get that issue. Always wondered how people handle mould when their homes are 99% wood in subtropical locations like Phillipines. Such a remote place probably wasn't built by expert engineers either.

>>22359168
The air in Osaka is clear today.

>>22454991
You aren't kidding. A sea of buildings.

>>22455047
A reminder that it is Japan's third biggest city.

>>22455056
This changed quickly.

>>22455075
Is there any similar camera for Tokyo?

Dude.

>>22455233
Oh, I am dumb. After the time change here I keep forgetting it is now getting dark in Japan even earlier from my county's point of view. I thought >>22455202 is actually smoke.

Tokyo Tower Live Camera.

>>22455250
lol
although on that note I missed the Sakurajima emission last month, got to the camera a day late and it was gone.

>>22435919
this must be a setting that can be modified any time a re-stream happens, or even during, because for now it's back to 12 hours.

someone's happy

>>22471944
lol, these kinds of things is why i like watching streams like this, never know what you are going to see next

>>22471944
And it's me.

>>22471944
This is just a ruse. We all know Japanese are emotionless robots.

>>22473872
Ｉ　ｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ keeping track of it a while ago, seems that they're just letting foundation settle before doing anything.

Definitely my favourite cam since Kabukicho, I love it when the drunks sleep here.

>>22403183
Watching the video again, I'm wondering if it's to keep the snow from billowing up onto the platforms when those trains come though at Warp 10.

>>22475028
good thought, never considered that

>>22475028
>>22403183
>>22402839
My understanding is that the sprinklers are for the tracks, not for the train itself.

The problem was, the snow would accumulate near the tracks during times of heavy precipitation. Due to the properties of snow and speed of the train, the snow would kick up when the train passed and cause the gravel underneath to fly around. This would lead to damage to the train body. It had to operate at reduced speeds during times of heavy snow until the sprinkler system was implemented. The sprinkler system only works well in areas where it doesn't get too cold.

>>22477989
That is good to learn. I'm not sure where the real cold in Japan is, but I'd assume anything on the Sea of Japan coast and northern Tohuku/Hokkaido.
I also feel like putting cold in quotes because their worst days are what I'd put a sweater on for.

>>22478073
I suppose cold would be anything around the range of close to 0C, with respect to the optimal operation of the sprinkler system

are there any street level cams at akiba?

>>22477989
Well that makes sense.

I agreed with them.

same channel as the other Osaka one

it has all sorts of mechanical sounds audible during transport

some more backlog purging, and tomorrow I will have a nice ~3 minutes of rain from the same day as >>22491084

I'm seeing what looks like a bit of snow
hard to makeout

The snowplow has been moved, so that's another sign

>>22495204
snow

>>22495294
it begins

>>22496360

>>22496362

absolutely tragic that there were two beautiful sunsets tonight and I could only record one of them

I opened a second instance of VLC and it wouldn't even open a stream

>>22496363

>>22496370

Wish there were streams with slight background noise. I miss Aizu so much...

>>22493300
Now the second stream is on again.
>>22496389
This one has sound >>22494694

>>22496372
was this actually 60fps at some point or is that interpolated

>>22496400
thats 30 fps.

>>22496402
i should be able to see that, it's just nice and smooth

>>22493300
They suddenly added a very weird third stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7kBmRGJ65s

Looks like sleet.

>>22501935
yeah, based on the temps

>>22503882
Oh shit. Too bad it is blurry yet again.

>>22504009
yeah, it's been like that for a good while
seems fine some of the time so not sure if the self calibration is off during dawn/dusk
I know for a fact that this camera has remote adjustment capability since I've seen it in action

>>22504216
Is that sunlight on the hills? It looks so cool

>>22504300
yes, you can catch some pretty nice light visuals around dawn

>>22504394
Oh don't I know it!
I should stop saving these as png, I just feel bad when posting

This might only be up for a bit, but the Makurazaki hotel put up a low resolution 360 degree view.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e1JNVls3g8

>>22506208
also, I'm recording it for a few hours and hopefully I can drop the footage on my phone and use one of those VR viewers to scroll around it.

E7 series is actually really cool looking. I saw a photo of one without the bronze accent, wish I could find it.

>>22435412

>>22512906
Hey, nice catch. Those are fun to see.
The waves were quick yesterday, I'm thinking of trying a timelapse on the footage.

I miss watching the dawns on the Roppongi Hills camera

dry inland, wet on the coast

Fuck we still on the same thread, in for my weekly post which is part of my weekend.

The Kyushu train cam! You can watch the sonic train go by which is indigenous TO Kyushu! This cam is located at Minami Fukuoka which is not far from Hakata, the busiest train station in all of kyushu so you get a fair bit of action, shame about the blurred outs bits though, I do like people watching.

Are you guys only for comfy static cams? Over the last few years I've built up a few Youtube playlists of various 前面展望/cabview videos from various uploaders of trains/buses/cars mostly in Japan. I'm talking about 1,500 videos in the main playlist (although that one includes non-Japanese vids). If there's any interest I can sort out a Japanese only version of the playlists and link them here.

>>22521515
Sounds like something people here would enjoy.

>>22521515
I would love any winter-related train videos

>>22521457
I thought this was another Osaka cam that happened to be a different line, because it looked so similar. See >>22489955

>>22521593

Alright, I'll put something together. Might take a day or two as there's a lot of videos to sort first and youtube playlist management is shite.

>>22521526

First one I saw while randomly scrolling: https://youtu.be/mWqex3OpTwQ

>>22521627
It's worse than ever with more and more channels/videos just going missing without warning. I already back up anything I enjoy, but sometimes I'm too late.

Beautiful Kyushu!

>>22521596

The same guy that is running the Kyoto cam is running the Fukuoka cam but Fukuoka has many nice memories for me so I much prefer it, also get to the sonic whizzing around town.

>>22522500
Just turned this on. I'm loving all the 787s and 885s. Reminds me of my first trip to Kyushu.

>>22522505
Right on, thanks for the information.

I hope we never lose this cam, it's one of like three that actually face the sunset.

>>22525443
This is crazy. I only remember those style of transports from Roller Coaster Tycoon.

>>22525443

They do love wacky transit options:

Alright, had a bit more extra time that I was expecting today. Here's two Youtube playlists. The first playlist is of all the JP vids I've watched, and is mostly actual train/tram front views, although there's a fair few side view videos in there also. There's also a good number of bus videos as well as some car videos too. And of course there's video of some of the weird shit they like to build in japan buried in there also.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEazVa4zjt8g04YyvKd19WpSu

The second playlist is basically the same videos, but only those that are in 4K. It's about 1/3rd the size of the main playlist and completely omits some of the video producers who don't ever shoot in 4K.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

I have about 600 more videos in my 'unwatched' list that'll slowly be added to these, and more as the producers upload them. Hopefully you guys enjoy the comfy autism as much as I do.

>>22526902
thank you

>>22526902
Many thanks pal, I got some weekend viewing material now

>>22526902
I don't have a computer that can run 4k smoothly let alone a monitor big enough to utilize it fully, so this first playlist is plenty to look through.

>>22528231

No problem dude. Although I do recommend the 4K videos even on lower resolution screens a lot as they're made by the guys who are really serious about this stuff and so tend to be the best quality and locations etc.

Here are some pretty nice examples to get started with:

Kesennuma BRT (this replaced the rail line after large areas had been destroyed by the tsunami in 2011) https://youtu.be/0mSUygYOrMI?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOOI

Nagoya to Toyama LE (a lot of routes out of/in to Nagoya are pretty scenic and often carve through the mountains to the north east https://youtu.be/fbN4QL1e-Dc?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

Yurikamome Line, one of the automated train lines around the Tokyo waterfront: https://youtu.be/9Kd6Cgat-bY?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

Tairyūji Ropeway https://youtu.be/hQXgGWjPpMY?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

I also noticed a few non-Japanese routes slipped in, like this HK tram video, which are still really well made https://youtu.be/idfdQvscMNM?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

>>22528384
Oh they're a visual treat for certain, and that audio is dreamy. I wonder if there are any for the ultra scenic routes through the forests of Nagano and such, the ones I see on Tabi channel.

bump while I render stuff

>>22537211
you were able to pull out 1 minute 20 seconds of dynamic scenery while I tried getting 15 seconds of 720p and it bloats past 4mb even at a (variable) bitrate of 1200

found this really comfy webcam

http://www.insecam.org/en/view/692391/

very snowy~

>>22537241
I usually don't do 720 just for that reason, but you would think 15 seconds shouldn't be such a problem.
480p seems to be the sweetspot for still being able to get somewhat decent details and still being able to push 1 minute+ without getting a artifact mess.
Also my clip is 15fps, good way to cheat a bit.
Bitrate is down in the low to mid 300s IIRC.

>>22538406
I love these Canon cameras, they seem to be everywhere in Japan and a very large number of them are just open to public view if you can find them.
Some of them will also display the stream without credentials if you just request directly to the MJPG stream url instead of going through the main camera page if you want to be a bit sneaky about it.
I am almost tempted to go look up what their default credentials are to see how many of the ones that aren't public are still viewable with the defaults.
But that would be illegal, probably.

>>22539136
I realized those numbers are almost a year old by now.
Todays numbers: 6359 worldwide, 3686 in Japan.
With the US as a distant second at less than half.

went through 239 pages of cams from insecam.org and found these cams that are pretty cool

I figured you'd be on insecam or something similar

>>22540300
I usually am if i just want to browse random cameras, but Shodan has so much more options when it comes to filtering search results and doesn't moderate camera feeds.
With a tampermonkey script i modified to automatically pull up snapshots from a number of common IP camera brands right in the search results it functions almost like insecam for me, except on more ports and with a almost real time continuous feed of new IPs being added.

Anyone with a basic understanding of html headers and/or a demo unit or two to test against with some trial and error can find almost anything connected to the internet on a large number of common ports with Shodan.

>>22540359
the goofy part is you show someone this and say "you need to up your security dawg" and they treat you like a criminal instead

>>22528384
Taking this from our sister thread on /n/
>JR East will sumbit an application to the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to officially end rail services on the sections of the Kesennuma and Ofunato Lines that were replaced by BRT services after the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake (tl:dr BRT will stay).

>>22540494
For sure, in fact i know about a few anons who got busted for doing shit like this, of one i am pretty sure went to federal prison in the US under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Of course that guy was also a real asshole that liked to hijack internet connected babymonitors and scare the shit out of kids in the middle of the night over the two way audio system and at the same time was too retarded to 7proxy himself while doing so.

I am pretty sure i would have been busted sooner or later too if i hadn't avoided doing the more outright illegal stuff when these issues started to get recognized in the media.
I sometimes feel a little bad for producing guides that helped random anons do bad shit and/or get themselves in trouble.
But, i just wanted to watch comfy views across the world, what they decided to do with it will have to be on them in the end.

Enough of my "back in my day" nostalgia blogging, have some Yunokami.

>>22540894
It's appreciated content, regardless.
I kinda feel like I'm people watching when it comes to the public ones like the Osaka Tower shop camera, it's just people shopping and wandering around the performance stage.

See you in the next one.
