I would like to see a minority of the house representation of elected people from individual regions with term limits, with a majority of the house being regular people randomly selected to serve for a defined amount of time.

Oh yes, your pay-to-win government duopoly isn’t helping anything, but don’t call it impossible. The Affordable Care Act was a start, and I don’t doubt the right people could make universal healthcare access a real thing in the US.

Oh, I agree it won’t be easy, particularly when taking profits from rich people.

I’ve heard it likened to a house full of asbestos. Knock it all down and there’s likely to be collateral damage, but meticulously taking it apart will take a considerable amount of time. I feel it would be easiest for governments to purchase the insurance companies, then slowly amalgamate so it’s all one network open to everyone.

Also it’s a bit entertaining when someone opposes it because “it’s socialism”. It’s already socialism, you just have middlemen skimming profit off the top while providing little value.

Hey guys, many other countries have figured out that healthcare doesn’t have to be a privatized, for-profit nightmare. Perhaps that’s an option worth exploring.

The asterism gives me big Splinter Cell vibes and I’m definitely OK with that.

I heard a podcast with the author of this book and the conclusion was similar. He recommends no smartphone before 16. Dumb phones for simple communication can be whenever.

I haven’t read the book yet, but the podcast discussion was fairly informative. I think it was Hidden Brain’s Escaping the Matrix episode.

That looks nice, yeah prickly with purple flowers is Canada thistle and you don’t want that.

Are the purple flowering weeds really prickly?

The American data is also not fit. A part of a reduction in firearm deaths is advancements in medical treatment for bullet injuries. The actual statistic that should be tracked is bullet injuries, which is also quite incomplete due to many PDs classifying a survived bullet injury as an assault, limiting the ability to get accurate numbers on how many bullet injuries there actually are.

Did he just sue himself?

Aka a bribe.

Also terrified of the same with my 9 month old, but you’re right, my Ioniq also gives a reminder to check the back when the driver door is opened if the rear doors had opened prior to the drive. I hope I won’t need it but it is nice to have.

Unfortunately there isn’t really an all-in-one guide. TechnoTim has info on the Pi-hole config side and wildcard certificates, but I think he uses it with traefik.

NPM is pretty straightforward. If you find a site isn’t working, try turning on Web Socket support.

I’d say just search for guides on each part individually:

1. Get all the services installed and up and running
2. Get SSL certificates from Cloudflare for your domain.
3. Set up NPM for the services you want to reverse proxy with your Cloudflare SSL certs (they wont work until the next step is done)
4. Set up pi-hole to be your local DNS (there’s also adblock lists to add) and configure it to send all service(.lan).mydomain.com to the ip of NPM.
5. Set up the Cloudflare tunnel.

I can try to help if you run into any issues.

Don’t big macs come in boxes?

I’m definitely not a network pro, but it sounds like you’re looking to do something similar to what I have.

I’ve got nginx proxy manager as my reverse proxy with pi-hole for local DNS. All traffic goes through the pi-hole and anything going to mydomain.com has DNS entries pointing to nginx. I’ve set nginx up so service.lan.mydomain.com is for anything local and just service.mydomain.com for anything external with wildcard SSL certs for both (*.domain doesn’t seem to cover *.lan.domain so add certs for both - probably because it’s a sub-subdomain).

The Cloudflare tunnel can then just get directed to service.mydomain.com instead of the IP of the service.

If one tosses something on something else, one would think that the thing that has been tossed is now on the recipient of the tossing.

They’d be better than nothing, but you’re right, actively managed often means not managed unless it really has to be. But, they could stay down all day for the hottest parts of the year without issue.

I do energy consulting, and it’s hard to effectively shade east and west windows from morning and evening sun. Awnings on the west lose effectiveness because the sun gets lower and lower in the sky as it sets, requiring an awning to be lower (blocking the view) to still provide shade to the window. An awning will help to block the more southern portion coming around earlier in the day, but the most effective would likely be adjustable exterior blinds or coverings rather than an awning.

As you’ve discovered, interior blinds aren’t very effective too. Once that sun is through the window, it’s hard to get back out.

I didn’t ponder it when setting the cameras up, but after writing these posts I was planning to do just that when I’m back at home.

Yep, Reolink cams can be fully local only and still work fine.
