Ex of Twitter (and many others before that) by way of mastodon.social (same user ID across a lot of platforms) and evil.social (R.I.P.). Most of what I post would probably be considered “shit-posting” as I tend to type out whatever comes to mind without much filtering.
Storage reliability/off-siting.
Scenario:
Someone throws something flammable at your front door (maybe even as innocuous as the classic “flaming bag of poo” prank. Nobody’s home to notice. Fire burns the house down. Prankster was careless and caught on camera. Do you get footage from a slagged CCTV system?
Reason I don’t have any cameras is the whole “I want to wholly control my data” thing. There’s just no good reason a “cloud” service can’t use Client-Side encryption, other than they want to leave open the possibility of selling you out.
Gonna guess that the picture didn’t make the jump from your Lemme-based instance to this SharKey-based instance. :(
@ickplant@lemmy.world Gryff definitely thinks he’s a lapdog, moreso, even, than his 52lb #pittie predecessor (she was more-insistant on laying next to me; he wants to be on me). Fortunately, the 65lb dog we adopted was 8lbs overweight (so, now that he’s in proper trim, he’s “only” 57lbs).
My wife’s dog — the void to the right side of the photo — often wants lap-time, too, but is significantly less-insistent about it (which is good, because when you have 100+ of bullies arguing over who gets to actually be on the lap, it can get a bit fraught).

I’ve got a 57lb staffy. He’d definitely not get carried around just because he was lazy. :p

Yup, but if you can reduce or remove failure-cases without reducing security or making other sacrifices it makes little sense not to.
A system with local cache (hedging against Internet outages), batteries (hedging against power failures) and strong CSE (hedging against opt-out third-party access to your data) provides a significantly higher quality solution than something like Ring or even standard CCTV.
