I haven't Hops but I assume for outdoors something harsh and oil based would be preferred as a top coat or just exterior house paint.

I also saw a documentary about Steve Jobs and the sharp interviewer noted that on his laptop on his desk, he had a little piece of colored masking tape over the camera at the top (before most people thought of it). Me too. I take it off for Zooming.
Paranoid? Not really. Nobody'd see anything interesting. Just pissed off at the possibility. And the idea of those Alexa or Siri things being background-on all the time, capable of hearing everything in your home, gives me the heebie-jeebies.
