If you absolutely need home cameras and doorbell cams and such, Reolink devices can function 100% without any access to the internet.
Combine that with a Home Assistant server and the only one who can see what's on your cameras is you.

The next day Toad gave his jacket to Frog. Frog thought that it was beautiful. He put it on and jumped for joy. None of the buttons fell off. Toad had sewed them on very well.

Bruce Dern pays tribute to Diane Ladd:
“Diane was a tremendous actress and I feel like, a bit of a ‘hidden treasure’ until she ran into David Lynch. When he cast her as Laura‘s mom in Wild at Heart it felt like the world then really understood her brilliance."
