Basically what the title says. Someone I know is building a house and they want all sorts of security and privacy added benefits one could have with no hold backs.

This post basically serves as a place for everyone to come contribute ideas, hardware, and software, even self hosting is possible to increase the safety, security, and privacy of the home. So feel free to contribute thoughts and ideas but please include how to implement your concept if you can!

Plug and play is preferred but a little reasonable amount of self hosting could be done, with a preference on mechanical hardware where possible but not a hard set requirement.

While money isn’t an major issue within reason, be realistic and preferably eco friendly. Thanks everyone ahead of time!

    Not directly your question, but:

    • Propane for heating, off an underground tank separated from the house
    • Generator
    • Two sump pumps
    • Solar panels
    • Vegetable garden

    Security doesn’t just mean security against surveillance and physical violence.

      I saw a lot of people out of propane in the 2 weeks after Helene. Propane should be a strategic reserve- natural gas should be the primary for generator fuel and heating. Let someone else store it.
