For me the whole point of security cameras is real time notifications and cloud infrastructure. Having videos of someone robbing my house after the fact is a distant second motivation. Also, if officer Barbrady kicks down my door and violates my rights, he's much more likely to get my NAS than some random docker on a random AWS colo.
SAO is the worst fucking offender. The first half of the first season is top tier, but then the fairy shit is almost unwatchable. And then they keep going back to the awful fucking fairy world in every sequel. It almost felt like it was done out of spite.
IPAs aren't really seasonal? I always associate fall with Marzen style lagers for Oktoberfest, and big winter warmers like barleywine and sweet stouts.
Everyone knows that socialism is when simping for autocrats doing an imperialism. That's definitely not something a reactionary shill would do in bad faith, I'd like to make that clear.
But there is a viable alternative. In this very thread I supplied images of the ostensibly censored prompts from a different generative website. Unless those images have ironically been censored from the lemmy instance.
The point is that in the western media model, the existence of the Disney channel doesn't mean that HBO can't exist. And even if popular sentiment means that HBO doesn't exist now because of some market force, it can certainly exist in the future if those consumer preferences change. I'd argue that western media has easily, about 200 years demonstrating this very principle.
If an autocrat bans content, it will never exist. Or rather, the only examples I can really think of where a monarch or autocrat has willingly chosen to liberalize media control, are the handful of European monarchies which ceded political authority to a liberal constitution.
Whether you believe this reflects your own reality is inconsequential - it's trivially simple to demonstrate that western society has become more permissive over time compared to its illiberal counterparts.
I had a 15 year old account shadowbanned from a community I contributed to daily because I don't register emails on Reddit accounts. Apparently that was more important than my record of thousands of productive comments.
Yes, you can obviously build your own version of event detection and remote storage, and then appify it in a way which is secure and ergonomically useful, nobody is claiming otherwise. This requires a considerable amount of expertise to do safely, and additional complexity generally expands your threat surface. For you, that may be fine. I'm pretty tech literate and have a bunch of other self hosted services, but I just don't think the additional complexity is worth maintaining for push notifications. Again, that might be different for you.
Relatively minor from the perspective that the actual information which will leak from a Nest camera isn't really that unique. And as a network device, it's fairly simple to isolate and secure. The video a doorbell camera shoots is generally of "in view" public space, already visible to any camera. Your identity is already likely tied to the installation address where you've paid for the account with your credit card, which is also probably tied to that same address. If these things are not true, then you should obviously defer to your individual threat profile and disregard what I say.
The worst part of it is that these doorbell cameras could provide a state actor with a daily face shot database, but if you control it, then it can also be an adversarial source to that end.
But "minor" for me, is different from "minor" for you. For me, petty crime, and maybe some local cops with beef are a much bigger deal than hiding from the feds. That's my whole point here. Know your own threat profile. If officer Barbrady kicks down your door and violates your rights, he's going to take your local video server, but he's much less likely to get access to some random silicon valley colo farm. Don't fear the cloud, understand how to use it as a tool within your own threat profile.
Which is once again, the reason why understanding your threat surface properly so that you set up security enclaves which let you get value from cloud services without sacrificing privacy is more important than ever. Honestly, these posts frustrate me a bit. People are going to give up real, tangible security benefits of these modern security services over the spectre of relatively minor privacy issues which can be almost entirely mitigated with some pretty simple best practices that anyone interested in security should be doing anyway.
And playing music!
