Agreed. I'm more excited to see what Summer Eternal does.

The right literally dont want to stop the rich. They want to stop the left from stopping the rich. People who identify as right wing can sometimes be brought out of the cancerous mindset that reinforces their oppression, but "the right" is absolutely no fucking ally to anyone seeking liberation for their community.
Organize your community.
Read history and theory from other radicals.
Find like minded people and put your labor into providing food and everyday essentials like soap to your community members who can't afford them.
Gather in the streets and make your voices heard.
Work on a community garden and plant vegetables at home if you can.
Forge bonds with your literal neighbors and learn what about the accessibility needs of those around you.
Make emergency preparednes kits and discuss plans with your neighbors and comrades.
Talk to the queer people you know who don't feel safe in their home/city/state/country about what they need to be safe.
Build bonds with real people who also want to make change, and dont fucking talk to cops.
Learn about the dangers both infiltration and jacketing pose to radical movements, and practice disciplined opsec.
Do all of this and anything else that your local community needs to survive and thrive without relying on fascist government or capitalists generally.
TLDR: Practice mutual aid and solidarity.
Yes. At least keep some in your home where you know where it is. You never know when grandma might forget that she's already taken her pain meds, or a kid drinks too much of the wrong cough syrup, or (and I mean this in the least judgemental way possible) a friend hides their habit from you. Or literally any of those things (or a million other possibilities) happens to your next door neighbor.
Better not fall behind on opsec then
Systemic failures aren't character flaws.
Monster Prom is honestly so fun and challenging.
We aren't sacrificing our cat for a vacation. She'll be well taken care of while we're away, we just wanted to set up a simple method of checking on her when the urge strikes us without bothering the cat sitters to drop what they're doing and check on her at any hour of the day or night.
This actually sounds like it fits my priorities pretty solidly. I'll look into Reolink, thanks.
I was honestly leaning more and more toward an off the shelf solution like this. I kindof agree with you about it not being worth it to use a fiddly roll-your-own setup like this, especially with such short notice. Plug and play sounds really attractive.
How do you like the Amcrest cameras and remote monitoring solution? Do they have a good reputation for security I hope? I'm afraid I'm completely in the dark about these types of security camera companies.
Edit: just reread this and saw that you're running the Amcrest cameras through Frigate. Was that setup something that you think could be done in an afternoon? Or have you had to mess with things often? Simplicity and ease of setup are probably my highest priorities for this.
Wouldn't this just be a waste of a joker unless it's +2 joker slots?
