I use the nest indoor cams .. they aren’t perfect for watching kids (no alarms based on noise), but they work well for us.

Thanks ! I was down to the nest v netgear Arlo. Do you do the subscription for Nest as well?

Curious to hear people’s thoughts on the privacy risks of something that’s accessible remotely - I get the convenience but many of us have those little covers on the laptop webcams and having something streaming from one’s home makes me a bit concerned.

I don’t pay for the subscription.. but I probably should. It comes with a trial and it was pretty useful.

I use IP Cameras (e.g., amcrest) and have a private VPN setup to connect when I’m away. I am suspicious of the security of cloud cameras like nest, and port forwarding puts a lot of trust in the camera’s built in security

I do the Nest Cam with the subscription that includes 30 days backup. It competes well with a custom configuration with AWS storage or something similar

Blink

Same wireless concept as Arlo.. but cheaper.. better storage and now part of Amazon

We have five of Blink camera around the house.. and get alerts or can use them for live feed

Same as D2 here. Had a Synology NAS already, and configured a VPN to my home network so I can just access an amcrest camera and all its recordings remotely and securely. Also blocked internet access from the camera IP.

Cheaper than a nest subscription but I totally get that doing this setup requires a bit of tech work that isn't appealing to some.

Anyone else dealing with emotional trauma that is bubbling back up thanks to all the free time we have to think about shit endlessly?

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?

They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.
