Kinda encouraging that some of the worst trump-cult news companies are pushing back against these petty abuses. We can still encourage bad people to do good things while remembering not to trust them.

Bandcamp is great for music downloads

It depends, sometimes you can "buy" digital ownership from these places in the form of DRM-free files. If you are able to download the DRM-free file and make a reliable backup of it, then I could call that actual ownership. This is how I approach my music and ebook libraries. I don't do subscriptions for streaming anything but TV.

Your gaslighting attempts are pathetic. As I already said, no one can tell me that my eyes didn't see what they saw, plain as fucking day.

You can even buy books directly from publishers. Recently I wanted a hardback copy of a book and it was out of stock, backordered, or absurdly high priced on all the big popular online places. Ended up ordering it for MSRP from Penguin Random House direct.

  1. To get a camera with RTSP or ONVIF (video stream output) support, you look at the specifications of cameras that are available for sale. Web search engines should be helpful for this pursuit.

  2. To get the surveillance functions of your camera streams (recording, alerts, etc) you install software on the Raspberry Pi that aggregates and records / analyzes the camera feeds. Zoneminder, Shinobi, and Motioneye are some examples of that kind of software.

Down in Mexico you can buy a nice 3-bedroom villa for $20k to $30k. I've been wondering if I have enough savings to retire in Mexico already

Right, I would say the limit should be "no billionaires" so that if your net worth including investments exceeds $999M then you have to sell off some property or give money to the taxman until you are under $1b net worth. $999 million is still more money than anyone would ever need but just having no billionaires would be a great start.

I stole this meme pic from somebody else's post a week or two ago. Here it will again find relevance

Imagine if ghosts are real, and the genociders eventually just turn it all into their dream vacation resort... gonna be tons of pissed off ghosts haunting the shit out of them

It's not that hard, and you only need cameras and the raspberry pi.

Pretty much any wifi camera that supports standards like RTSP or ONVIF can be made to work with open source camera stuff on the Pi. Also you can store the videos on the RPi's storage (USB or SD)
