Lol I drove at least a mile with my Thinkpad on top of the car. Some dude next to me at a stop light honking and miming saved me. Got up to 40mph with it still on top though!

Honestly I wouldn’t even go so far as home assistant. Do you have any IP cameras or just USB webcams? If you have IP cameras all you need is the VPN and then just access them as if you’re at home. If you only have USB webcams, you’re going to have to stream the content and I believe
ffmpegis actually capable of taking/dev/videoXand serving it over HTTP somehow, but I don’t remember exactly how. I see some references to it in some quick searches though.Another thing to remember is that you’re going to be limited by your upload speed. If you’re not on fiber and in the US that’s likely going to be pretty bad, so set your resolution and the like accordingly.

Sorry about your cat. We typically have a Rover stop in to check on our cats when we’re gone for a bit. It’s nice to get them some human interaction and they always send pictures and give updates.
I personally have a camera setup inside that just streams to HomeAssistant so we can check on them ourselves when we’re out just for the weekend. WireGuard is a very easy way to set up the access. I disconnect it when Rovers are stopping by though because I don’t want them to feel spied on.

Totally, the real issue is people not having total control over their own devices.

There are definitely good, non malicious reasons to have it as a separate app and that should actually be preferred. Off the top of my head:
- Separation of permissions - it only has the permissions it asks for instead of every permission messages has
- It can be disabled/removed without disabling messages
- it can be reused by other applications if that’s a desirable feature

Hm I always remember hearing this:
In a confidential memo to the Republican party, Luntz is credited with advising the Bush administration that the phrase “global warming” should be abandoned in favour of “climate change”, which he called a “less frightening” phrase than the former.
