Home assistant + frigate has been serving myself and my family on separate sites for about 2 years. It has definitely kicked my ass, but seeing "privacy friendly" reolink cameras constantly phone home on my firewall assured me it was worth it. Wireguard tunnel in and you have remote access with practically no security concerns*

Do not get me started FUCK linkedin FUCK web development we weren't supposed to make COMPUTERS anyway
I kid you not i put out some 300 applications... 2 (TWO) rejections, both of which i was not certified in said required software stack, expected. And two false lead contacts, both wanted me to stop searching for jobs but wouldn't give a date for an interview for over a week, one was for a community college.
I returned to unspecified manufacturing, I'm in a really weird spot, and layoffs just started. I dread returning to the market

A maga person has just threatened my family, what's to do next?
As i don't want to divulge too much, some information will be sporatic/somewhat improper.
My family dealt with a neighbor, which of whom I can only describe as a plurality of serial harassers. By that I mean we were not the first, nor the last family for this entire family to explicitly target and fixate on for at least months on end. This was before 2016 to add (they ended up right where you'd expect).
Not just a not ring camera. Seriously DM me and im more than willing to help on the technical side of setting up a Frigate local NVR. Shouldnt cost your more than $200. If you go the home assistant route, it makes it trivial to set up an alarm system with zigbee or simular devices.
Now i have to be careful, among other things the neighbor was having their kids steal our mail, we recorded evidence of such, but they seemingly had a friend in the PD. Im not saying to expect this or necessarily take my advice, but especially being a red area, the cops will not help you if it comes to it. They will be 15 minutes after a shooting is called in.
We had evideable damage and video of one of their kids trying to break in our garage.
They still put my parents enployement at the time in jeopardy.
You get the 2A side of that, but ideally you want to avoid that entirely.
We eventually put up proper cameras, and some of the derangement subsided, floodlights are of particular use.
You cannot let yourself live in paranoia. But similarly you cannot be caught with your pants down.
We were in a ranch, thus no upstairs. They would shine flashlights at our windows. Laser pointer to the eyes would stop them quick.
Your situation is a lot more - forward. But there are pieces of information i believe you could use to your benefit in a preparedness scenario.
Again, DM me if you need any technical help, I'll be happy to
PS definitely be done with FB. Theres a lot more shit than this one clown to do with that place. Ive been trying to avert my SOs father from something similar as well, but FB is another tool of this admin ib many ways

People Are Becoming "Sloppers" Who Have to Ask AI Before They Do Anything
Reply in thread
I eavesdropped on a project manager really trying to convince upper management to make IT let him install an AI program that (by what I heard) would read from the screen and interact with our PMS. Straight up suggesting to have himself replaced.
I wouldn't say this compares to say the Satanic Panic, but I mean look at how it's being advertised - especially Apple Intelligence (seriously look it up) - this is very much the way they expect AI to be used (write my friend a birthday text, etc).
Not to mention the real material concerns over the deployment of now even more massive and power intensive datacenters, running on gas turbines because the grid can't feasibly power it, to feed psychophantic language generators designed to keep users hooked and reaffirming even their most violent thought, even leading kids to suicide by way of delusions - again because of how these models are designed in particular, and how they're pushed to consumers. To say there's absolutely no actionable concern is a farce.
