Many people want to replace their Ring doorbell cameras with something less evil that isn't surveilling you and your neighbors to feed data to ICE and cops.

This won't work for every situation, but perhaps you could get away with a low-tech device invented by Benjamin Franklin, called the busybody:

It's just some mirrors outside your 2nd-floor window that can be positioned to show you who is at your door.

Thanks to @USelaine for the link.

Anyone know what is going on here? This bumblebee has some sort of creature grabbing onto its proboscis. It looks like a small beetle, but it is hard to tell. The bumblebee was thrashing around furiously trying to remove it, to no avail.
