Is the alternative that we all rent/buy (?) apartments?

No


duplexes/triplexes/etc. exist. And single-family housing does exist in mixed zoning areas. An SFH next to a duplex next to an apartment building is common in my city. However, in this case, the "back yard" is probably enough for a small garden and a bbq, but not a large lawn...which is fine, because there are parks in walking distance.

Ideally, I'd like to not really have neighbors at all after my lifetime of experiences.

Then city and suburbs aren't really for you, and it sounds like something very rural would suit you, and those around you, better.

Handy back-of-the-envelope is that a year is about pi*10^7 seconds.

Also...hate to be the guy to mention leap years but...

Shoot fish with lasers. No need to compensate for refraction, problem solved.

I think an issue here is that taxonomic and colloquial definitions don't always agree.

Spiders are colloquially bugs, but they're not taxonomically "true bugs" (which is itself a colloquialism for Hemiptera). Tomatos are colloquially vegetables but taxonomically fruits...but afaik vegetable is a purely colloquial term anyway.

And as someone else in the thread mentioned, colloquial berries are not always taxonomic berries.

So...colloquially, "plants" sorta means, "macroscopic multicellular living non-animal thing," but taxonomically it's something else.

No, I don't see any handcuffs...

The Picosecond Pulse Labs bias tees hold a special place in my heart.

If you have a TV, you likely already have the receiving device. Antenna can cost, or you can play around with wire length and orientation.

It's mostly so that I can have SSL handled by nginx (and not per-service), and also for ease of hosting multiple services accessible via subdomains. So every service is its own subdomain.

Additionally, my internal network (as in, my physical LAN) does not have any port forwarding enabled


everything is over WireGuard to my VPS.

For a while I thought the Google AI result had a pretty logical, well thought out, practical solution


use glue.

My method:

VPS with reverse proxy to my public facing services. This holds SSL certs, and communicates with home network through WireGuard link configured on my router.

Local computer with reverse proxy for all services. This also has SSL certs, and handles the same services as the VPS, so I can have local/LAN speeds. Additionally, it serves as a reverse proxy for all my private services, such as my router/switches/access point config pages, Jellyfin, etc.

No complaints, it mostly just works. I also have my router override DNS entries for my FQDN to resolve locally, so I use the same URL for accessing public services on my LAN.

The grid needs to balance input and output. You can't just "throw away" power.

It's a real problem


not the "electric companies are losing money" part, but the "we need to keep the grid balanced" part.
