Living in a third world dictator I have mixed feelings about the rise of surveillance cameras. They feel a little bit safer especially alone in quite areas but they also feel dangerous knowing the government knows where I’m. I think there was once a sweet spot where enough cameras existed to make the streets slightly safer but also enough blind areas to not feel the big brother eyes watching constantly.

P.S. I don’t actually endorse any amount surveillance and I know what I said sounded like a slippery slope I was simply sharing my feelings on the matter.

I think it considered self-hosting as in self-hosting services/software but not the hardware.

I’m currently using a VPS for multiple reasons. Hardware is kinda expensive where I’m currently living. And due to CGNAT I would need to setup a tailscale node or VPN etc somewhere else anyway. Also home internet isn’t reliable at all here and I may need to access my stuff when outside and regardless if my internet is acting up or there’s a blackout.

Although in the future I’m planning on migrating to a dual setup where my core server lives at home and the public front (along with some smaller services and apps) is on a VPS.

mfw the US government can perform secret assassinations and kidnapping on foreign soil with high precision, but can’t for the love of god distinguish between Latin Americans and Native Americans.

First of all aren’t audiologists doctors? Also where I live architects are considered engineers and saying engineering and medicine are non-professional is so absurd to me.

Also if people working in these professions could coordinate and organise a nationwide strike it would literally halt the entire economy.
