Well… Canada has a land border with Denmark…

Well, I would certainly agree, but by OPs own admission:

I suck at the typical handle building methods and materials

So if carving a handle isn’t within OPs skillset, but 3D printing is… Then CNCing some wood seems like an obvious solution.

If you want to be able to make a wooden handle, and with the previous expenditures in mind… It would seems that a CNC Router wouldn’t be entirely insane…

I have my Firefox configured to force HTTPS, so it’s rather inconvenient to work with any non-HTTPS sites.

Because of that I decided to make my own CA. But since I’m running in Kubernetes and using cert-manager for certs, this was really easy. Add a resource for a self-singed issuer, issue a CA cert, then create an issuer based on that CA cert. 3 Kubernetes resources total: https://cert-manager.io/docs/configuration/ca/ and finally import the CA cert on your various devices.

However this can also be done using LetsEncrypt, with the DNS01 challenge. That way you don’t need to expose anything to the Internet, and you don’t need to import a CA on all of your devices. Any cert you issue will however appear in certificate transparency logs. So if you don’t want anyone to know that you are running a Sonarr instance, you shouldn’t issue a certificate with that in it’s name. A way around that is a wildcard cert. Which you can then apply to all your subservices without exposing the individual service in logs. The wildcard will still be visible in the logs though…

PSU can indeed make a pretty big difference.

If you only have a 80 Plus certified PSU, and see 65 watts drawn at the wall, your system might actually only be using 52 watts, the remaining 13 watts are wasted as heat in your PSU. 80 Plus Gold, Platinum, or Titanium all carry higher efficiencies, but also cost more to buy.

Actual efficiency is also heavily influenced by the load. Most PSUs are most efficient at 50% load. Both lower and higher loads with result in worse efficiency.

Here’s an article with some more details: https://www.technewstoday.com/power-supply-efficiency/

https://minerva-archive.org/ is working on archiving all the data from Myrient. Unfortunately their main page is down right now. But they have a client that volunteers are running to coordinate the archival efforts. Last I heard they already had >80% of all the content archived

I’m just gonna leave this here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

Resilio wouldn’t work well for distribution…

But archive.org seems to handle torrents pretty well. When they have a bundle they add a torrent with the same content, and set up themselves as webseed… Then everyone can download either directly or through torrent, and choose to seed what they want. If the content changes, post a new torrent… Of course that means that any old seeders get invalidated… But if they care about seeding they could update the torrent and point it at the old download to avoid redownloading everything. But also, how often does this content actually change? If a game iso/rom is ripped/dumped correctly isn’t that data kind of final? Why would the bit-perfect data need to change?

The clause might be stronger, but there’s no EU forces, no EU equipment, no EU AWACS, and no EU command structure, to back up that clause. There’s many individual national militaries, but no dedicated EU military. NATO on the other hand has dedicated forces, equipment, command structure and so on. Logistics wins or loses wars. So even if the clause is stronger, is carries much less weight than NATO.

Being in the EU is however a decent deterrent for most purposes, but maybe not sufficient to deter Russia, China or USA.

Insulation works both ways… It keeps houses warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

In the current political environment, you might want to fix that typo 😉

Why would it rust?

These things are used in forests where it rains, and when used they end up in the wet insides of a deer or in the damp wet ground in the forest. They are made from stainless steel, so they arent single-use, and doesn’t rust up and get dull before being used.

The amazon link, someone else found above, also explicitly say it’s stainless in the title.

Apparently Kingpin uses an ultrasonic cleaner and hasn’t seen any problems as a result… However he acknowledges that some people say it’s bad for electronics:

I think this might do it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SVuI-Fn27-U

In the German version he apparently also mentions “no rinse aid”, but that’s apparently missed out in the English version.

Why not select the 2.0 channel audio track?

In addition people often use VLANs for security segregation. For example you might buy a bunch of cheap Chinese security cameras, but want to ensure that they can’t send anything back to the manufacturer. Then you can make a VLAN with no Internet access for the cameras.
