The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
Is there any easily installable camera security system that isn't tied to the cloud and going to blab images of me to anyone who cares enough to hack it/the police if they ask Amazon nicely?
It seems like it would be a nice thing to have around in case of valuables, but fuck me if I'm going to use a product that will hand footage directly to the cops.
Second this. The best I could come up with when tackling the exact requirements as the original top level comment, was to setup unifi cameras to record to my NAS. If I remember correctly there were very few camera companies that didn't try to force you to use their subscription service.
