      JFC, that white text is me to a T.

      And my printer is a 1998 HP 4050DTN that could probably survive the apocalypse in fair shape.

      Even my planned CCTV system will be completely hardlined with shielded cables, technically airgapped, E2E encrypted between the cameras and the server, and with a mechanically-driven RJ45 connector that will allow one-way backups to BackBlaze once a week through a specially configured Bastille server.

      I wish.

      My father currently works in IT and has “smart” everything (except locks, thankfully)

      He has multiple Alexa thingies (used to be Google homes), Internet thermostat, smart light switches, smart cameras/doorbells, smart plugs

      Idk why he does. The only thing that really provide any value are the light switches and plugs (scheduled lighting) and maybe the doorbell thingies

        Could have gone the self-hosted route, but he might just think it’s a lost cause as long as you’re carrying phone that spies on you.
