<p>My perspective grows stronger every time someone close to me dies: the true value in photos is the faces. 
As a tech person, that is where I try to maximize my pixel budget.<p>I actually prefer candid home video infinitely more -- most pictures on social networks are as authentic as pornography stills.</p>

<p>Is there any phone app that purposely records video in the background without turning on the screen? I wouldn't care as much if people holding up their phones weren't shining back at me. I assume this is possible with audio, though concert audio is usually way too loud to record on a phone without additional equipment.<p>I believe this may not even be possible due to privacy issues, hidden cameras / recording without consent is enough of a problem already!</p>

<p>It was my improvisational approach to pointing in the right direction. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and..." rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and...</a>.<p>I don't really see how replication/HA is an issue in this setup beyond normal file system replication/HA (which seems to be a solved "spend money on NAS" problem in the enterprise world). If your filesystem isn't reliable / delivering what's needed then you're gonna have a bad time no matter the storage approach; I doubt some unusual option is involved though it would be cool to be proven wrong.<p>The only time the filesystem could even potentially have read/write conflicts (assuming 1-to-1 correlation between devices writing to files) is when querying. I did wind up muddling the terminology in the interest of jumping to the actual problem.</p>
