Which are very popular and highly sought after among certain people, but not liked by execs because they allow you to own a material copy of something so you don't have to rent it perpetually?

    Honestly, I'd never really message a mod. I've got shit on my account and it doesn't bother me. You just can't interact with the affected community.

    If you do want to get back in that particular community, I would read the rules and determine 1) if there's anything forbidding you from contacting mods and 2) if your post broke any of the rules. If you did break a rule and a appeal is allowed you could message them, and note that you recognize the specific rule you broke, apologize, ask for forgiveness and assure them you'll be diligent in following rules going forward. I wouldn't hold your breath though, cause they've got lives of their own. I definitely would post to power tripping mods or whatever, besmirching them will get you nowhere.

    I'm not gonna make an assessment on your actions.

    Those were both exploitative business men more than engineers or developers. Jobs wasn't special and there're reasons why Microsoft boosted Gates to be the richest person in the world at one point.

    Have a look at Open IPC and Yi-hack (link is to one specific family of their cameras, but there are hacks available for other non-allwinmer models too).

    I believe you can also hook up a raspberry pi (with a camera module) to Motion Eye wirelessly.

    The easiest thing for security (though not necessarily own source) would be to find a WiFi cam that offers offline or local access and confining it to it's own subnet that doesn't have access to the internet. I think you can do this with reolinks, but double check.
