Over a full career, saving 10% of your salary can allow you to live comfortably in retirement with minimal government pensions. Depends on your overall salary of course, but 10% is a good start. 250 euro a month tucked away in an account that only earns a very mediocre 5% per annum would still have you almost 400k after a 40 year career. Obviously investing more and getting a better return could lead to much much more than that. A 400k annuity at retirement age would basically continue to pay 3k a month for well, as long as you need it.

Doordash and uber eats take a 40-50% cut from the restaurant when a driver delivers the food. Other platforms take 20ish percent if the restaurant does the delivering. I’m sure you could establish some kind of self hosted network where each restaurant runs their own machine that provides some of the compute. It would have to scale really well with such a decentralized system. You’d probably have to let the restaurants individually decide the amount they want to pay the drivers, and even then it would take a long time to build up a network of drivers. I think there would be a lot more problems with a decentralized approach though as you’d now have to let restaurants figure out disputes with drivers and customers when food goes missing and things. Pros and cons, and a lot of effort.

Okay sure, for a specific use case yes you can point a record to a private IP, however this explicitly doesn’t expose your homelab to the web. I misunderstood OPs intention.

You can’t point to 192.168.X.X that’s your local network IP address. You need to point to your public IP address which you can find by just searching ‘what is my IP’. Note that you can’t be behind CGNAT for this, and either need a static IP or dynamic DNS configuration. Be aware of the risks involved exposing your home server to the internet in this manner.

They don’t want to be contacted. I don’t think we have any moral obligation to supply them with medicines or technologies that they don’t want, even if they would objectively improve their quality of life.

No they will probably never advance substantially in technology. To get to where the developed world is today took centuries of industrialisation and trade.

But there are, presumably, happy with the status quo.

In private messages outside of work, yes, it comes across passive aggressive and is a hard stop to a conversation. In work context though, it’s pretty common on teams as an acknowledgement, though I still think it’s nicer to use like a heart react then actually reply.

I’d like to think it’s a kind of zero approval gambit, he was once a dem I heard. But I think it’s much more likely he’s literally a Russian asset and the question is how much damage can the American system of checks and balances prevent before the next elections.

Centre stands need to be way more sturdy to hold it up. You can buy aftermarket VESA centre stands though if you can’t wall mount it.

It’s actually 25, there was a typo in the article that they fixed.
