  • Lower taxes is good for home owners, too. It’s only those wanting to profit from housing prices in the short term who are hurt. The prices will go back up and as long as you are selling and then buying if you move, and the prices are going down across the board, you won’t lose anything.

    The only negative really other than for investors is for retirees who need to sell to have money to survive.

    And I say this as someone who purchased a home in an overpriced area a couple of years ago. The value has slightly declined and I’d love to see it further decline so I could pay less in taxes. In 15 or 20 years when I’m ready to sell it will be plenty valuable.




  • Would only be worth it if you created a system for easily deploying applications on an already set up subnet with routing preconfigured.

    Like set up a single server kubernetes distribution like microk8s or minikube on the server with metalLB and ingress already preconfigured on the server and router. You could also give instructions on how to install a GUI like Lens and how to use it to deploy a few things. Probably using workstation applications would be better than a web UI like Portainer to keep the server lighter, but either might work.




  • Unfortunately, the US is now fully reliant on SpaceX for access to space now that they decided to rely on corporate spacecraft rather than building our own and Boeing has proven themselves unreliable since that change was made, and now that they finally have a craft they ended up stranding astronauts on the space station until SpaceX can rescue them due to defects. Plus we can’t use Russia like we did after the shuttle program ended but corporate space travel wasn’t there yet. And SpaceX isn’t publicly traded to where it might be possible that enough investors could pressure Musk to cave.

    So I doubt anything will come of it. Brazil will rattle their sabers. Musk will stand his ground, and the US will stay on Musk’s side while pretending as much as possible to be staying out of it.



  • Yeah, you definitely should run it on a separate machine. A home NAS itself probably shouldn’t be doing anything beyond serving files and basic maintenance. Using them for too much will reduce their ability to serve data fast enough. Just be sure the media server and NAS have appropriate network cards, preferably gigabit, though even 100Mbit probably is enough for most of your network isn’t already too busy, and ideally are connected to the same switch (again preferably gigabit) with good quality network cables.
