       @tek @mwl Why stop with the Glass? Lasers and camera Sensors don‘t mix well: https://petapixel.com/2021/08/02/sony-officially-warns-that-lasers-can-damage-its-cameras-sensors/Admittedly, getting the right laser for this isn‘t as easy as obtaining paint, but there are advantages: no paint left behind, only need to buy once.Not sure how practical it is, but maybe the „idle novelist“ doesn‘t care too much about that 😉

       @tek @mwl I won‘t, no worries about that. My job is networking, the high bandwidth kind and for decades that meant fiber and thus optical. I know and understand the dangers.Even without that, I don‘t consider the laser attack on CCTV cameras from being a good alternative to paint in practice. Getting the right laser, aiming and then hitting the sensor is quiet difficult. Most importantly: with paint you‘ll see if it worked, with laser you wont.That doesn’t matter much for novels though…

       @mwl Damn, if you were *just* a novelist I‘d laugh it off and look forward to a new story. The tech part of you has be concerned about safety, including your pets. 😉@tek

       @philsplace You don‘t have to learn to set it up yourself, you‘re not paying a service provider and you can say „I run my own <….>“ without actually doing that.Until something breaks or they‘re becoming the target of „curious“ people.
