uploads a copy of the key to their Microsoft Account
Microsoft added that feature because people kept losing their encryption keys and thus losing all their files if they need to have their computer replaced. They get complaints either way - privacy advocates complain when the key is backed up, and sysadmins/users complain when the key isn't backed up.
Doesn't Hikvision support RTSP?
Though, on the other hand, having the video saved offsite is useful because then anyone with physical access to your home can’t get rid of the video showing they’re there.
I have Blue Iris configured to send all alert videos to one of my storage VPSes via SFTP. As soon as someone is detected outside, the video clip is sent offsite.
The server and the PoE switch that powers the cameras are also on a UPS, which helps if the intruder tries to shut off the power at the main breaker (which, here in California, always needs to be located outside).
It’s in response to you saying isolate the cameras from the internet entirely
The cameras themselves should always be isolated. No internet access for the cameras at all. Your NVR can have network access, and is what would handle uploading the videos to internet storage somewhere.

Any cameras that can operate entirely offline are good. Dahua and Hikvision are good too. Look for cameras with RTSP and ONVIF support. ONVIF is a standardized API for interacting with cameras and can handle things like pan/tilt/zoom, sending events from the camera to the NVR (eg motion detection), and a bunch of other things.
I use Blue Iris as my NVR, which is usually regarded as the best, but there's other good software too (like Frigate), and hardware solutions too.
Just follow best practices - keep them isolated on a separate VLAN with no internet access. If you want remote access to your NVR, use a VPN like Tailscale.

According to the police department, Granger chewed up at least 57 of the 160 images
I know this comment is a bit old, but do you have any recommendations on how to learn about building custom Odoo modules? I'm an experienced developer (with over 20 years experience) but am new to Odoo. I've learnt some things by looking at the code for OCA modules (I had to debug an issue with the Plaid bank statement integration) but am interested in any resources you found useful.
Definitely... I use Borgbackup for my backups, which encrypts the backups before sending them to the remote server. Not all use cases can do that though, so sometimes it's useful to have filesystem-level encryption.
Hopefully nobody lands on the same space as another player in Mario Party.
Oops, I didn't know about the SX line, and didn't know they had auction servers with large amounts of disk space. Thanks!! I'm not familiar with all of Hetzner'a products.
For pure file storage (ie you're only using SFTP, Borgbackup, restic, NFS, Samba, etc) I still think the storage boxes are a good deal, as you don't have to worry about server maintenance (since it's a shared environment). I'm not sure if supports encryption though, which is probably where a dedicated server would be useful.
One of SQLite's recommended use cases is as an alternate to proprietary binary formats: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html. Programs often store data in binary files for performance, but you get a lot of the same functionality included with SQLite (fast random access, concurrent usage, atomicity, updates that don't need to rewrite the whole file, etc) without having to implement a file format yourself.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but Facebook'a HHVM used to store the compiled bytecode for the whole site in a single SQLite database: https://docs.hhvm.com/docs/hhvm/advanced-usage/repo-authoritative/. Every pageload loaded the bytecode for all required files from the DB.
SQLite is underrated. I've used it for high traffic systems with no issues. If your system has a large number of readers and a small number of writers, it performs very well. It's not as good for high-concurrency write-heavy use cases, but that's not common (most apps read far more than they write).
My use case was a DB that was created during the build process, then read on every page load.
Interesting case. If the plaintiff wins, I suspect this will mean that sites with videos won't be able to use third-party analytics scripts (not just Meta pixel, but also things like Google Analytics), which would be a pretty large change for the industry.
I'd love to see first-party tracking become more popular again. I self-host Plausible for my sites, but I've considered switching to Swetrix.
