Saving a click: the industry is “child surveillance“.

Yeah, it’s as creepy as it sounds.

Get normal IP cameras and problem solved.

Still gotta block them at the firewall in case they are phoning home. Caught some of mine doing that

Yeah amcrest pings for config. They’re blocked

With an NVR most of them can run fully offline.

It doesn't. Self-hosted open source surveillance is still surveillance. Constantly monitoring your children (above a certain age) is still helicopter parenting.

They’re months old, fuck off telling me that’s helicopter parenting. Don’t comment when you literally don’t know

That's obviously not what this article is about. Notice how I said "above a certain age"?

If a slightly older person would migrate to GNU / Linux from a suggestion that it is more private. A young person, who underwent surveillance parenting, will most likely not give a damn.

It's okay to leave the space in the middle.

Decent read. Some things I'll have to consider when my kids are old enough.

"Apocalyptically terrible" - wow I wish they wouldn't soft-pedal it like that.

Off topic: the design of this site is very confusing. Each section with its heading and text body as a separate card, with the heading in the same color as links are. It makes it look like each card is a summary of a separate blog post or article. Also with the way the background image is static like that.

Need to rethink that design from a reading perspective.
