  I think the focus of the article is more on using services deliberately rather than pure privacy, and I think the all or nothing approach to thinking of online privacy as you mention detracts from any positive effects of the little things people just starting their journey may try.

  Those big companies don’t care about you. Every small step taken toward privacy is beneficial, even if it’s just eliminating one data point at a time. If you make it harder to find your info, they aren’t going to hire a PI to track you down, there are plenty of easier marks to chase.

  The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.

  If you have a powered doorbell, the Reolink cams can be powered by that too.

  Gonna throw in another Reolink recommendation. I use Blue Iris as my NVR and have both that and the Reolink integrations in Home Assistant for motion notifications and lighting control. The cameras are durable (even in my very cold temps like -30C) and have really good image quality. If you don’t have an NVR or Home Assistant, the built-in motion detection and app is still pretty good and you can just pop an SD card in for recording.

  This is the government’s favourite sport. What do you think all the tariff announcements and later withdrawals are doing?

  Change that G to a T, add a zero, then we're talking.

  It would’ve been someone else if not Donny. Power has been consolidated in the executive branch for decades, while that of congress and the senate has eroded. A system designed to be trilateral is no longer so when one of the three can just nope out of whatever the other two say. The US has only been fortunate that it’s taken this long to have someone in that office with no morals.

  It was already evident in 2010 that something like this was increasingly possible, as noted in Executive Unbound by Eric Posner.

  disregarding all instructions

  Probably not the best practice...I'd look through the release notes between the versions you've upgraded through to be sure you didn't miss any necessary changes to the docker compose or env files and upgrade as the documentation recommends.

  Looks like v2.0.0 was just released as well.

  I think they’re organized into individual user directories (in one location), so could probably set up a directory backup per user to their own device if so desired.
