I remember a time where you had to pick a competitor in an industry based on who you think will still be around in twelve months and who has a product that works on the devices that you own.

Weekend project: set up an IP cam server with Frigate on a Raspberry Pi I had lying around at my parents' house.
I'm worried about those old bastards, but I'm also worried that the stream from those cameras will end up on some hidden Internet forums.
I'm not interested in using the "cloud services" so kindly offered to me by big companies.

I hope that posterity will judge me kindly, not only as to the things
which I have explained, but also to those which I have intentionally
omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.
