If they are wireless cameras that connect to the cloud it sounds like they might be prone to auto-updating. You'd have to do extra setup to ensure the cameras are both connected to your WiFi but are not connected to the internet.

I like the idea of typescript. I tried to port a vanilla js browser game to typescript and I found it introduced a lot of complexity to the project. It sucked me into the npm ecosystem and forced me to rewrite every file to use js modules i

It's like when you get the correct answer on a math test, but then when the math teacher asks you to show your work you bumble around and can't reproduce the thought process required to arrive at the correct answer.

IMO for things like static sites, or sites that only have some landing pages and a bit limited interactivity behind a login portal, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS is perfectly fine. The complexity of vanilla gets out of hand when developing

I'd argue there's something to be gained though for directly helping your neighbor vs. donating to charity. When you directly help your neighbor (anonymously or not), there's a human element there that uplifts and enriches th
