more specific to a subset of people who have time to bother

And that subset of people needs to have at least some kind of mindset to learn the viable minimum skills to even start with and a will to learn more and more and more. I've done various kinds of hosting as a career for couple of decades and as things change I'm fighting myself if it's worth my time and effort to keep my home services running or should I just throw money to google/apple/microsoft/whoever to store my stuff and manage my IOT stuff and throw the hardware into recycling bin.

I have the skill set required for whatever my home network might need up to a point that I could somewhat easily host a small village from my home (money is of course a barrier after a certain point), but I find myself more and more often thinking if it's worth the effort. My Z-wave setup needs some TLC as something isn't playing nicely and it causes all kinds of problems with my automations, my wifi network could use a couple of sockets on the walls to work better, I should replace my NVR with something open source to include couple of more cameras around the yard and have better movement recognition and cameras should go to their own VLAN and so on.

Most of that stuff is pretty basic to set up and configure (well, that z-wave network is a bit of it's own thing to manage) and it would actually be pretty nice to have all the things working as they should and expand on what I have to make my everyday life even more simpler than it already is. But as there's a ton of things going on in life I just rather spend few hours gaming from my sofa than tinker with something.

That's of course just me, if you get your reward and enjoyement on your network then good for you. Personally I think I'll keep various things running around, but right now in this place I'm at, the self hosting, home network and automation and all that is more of a chore than a hobby. And I'm pretty sure I don't like it.

Omakoti täälläkin ja pörssissä on oltu jonkin aikaa. Kesäaikaanhan tuo on ollut mukava kun pörssihinta on aivan nollissa, nytkin sahko.tk näyttää että 28vrk keskiarvo on alle 4 senttiä, mutta talvella pitää seurata aika tosissaan että mitä se milloinkin maksaa ja ohjata lämmitystä (osin automatisoidusti) sähkön hinnan mukaan. Ei tuolla ihan ihmeisiin tietysti pysty kun ei talossa varaavaa massaa kuitenkaan ihan älyttömästi ole mihin pistää halpoja watteja talteen, mutta pörssiin siirtyessä silloinen yhtiö tarjosi mukavaa 28 senttiä + verot (tai jotain tuonnepäin) niin valinta oli aika yksinkertainen.

Pitäisi tieten viitsiä huudattaa noita toimittajia että mihin hintaan saa ihan oikean kiinteän sopimuksen ilman mitään kulutusvaikutuspelleilyä, ne kun on paitsi hemmetin epäselviä laskukaavoiltaan niin myös ainakin uutisoinnin perusteella vaikutuksetkin jää lähinnä myyntitykkien käsienheilutteluksi.

I agree with you, nuclear response would make things very difficult with China and their allies, but there's plenty of traditional firepower available directed to Russia if things escalate to that point and should Russia attack with nukes I don't think they'll have a lot of support for their actions from the east. And triggering nuclear response would likely end up in a MAD scenario which is something I think (and hope) no one really wants to see trough.

But that still leaves a pretty big field to work with traditional ammunition and a skilled pilot from Sweden could still reach Moscow in 20 minutes or so to turn multiple military targets within the city into a rubble. And there's plenty of airfields closer than Stockholm with equally capable fighter jets. For the ground force, Finns and Estonians could at least in theory reach Moscow in 10-12 hours since majority of troops defending it are already down on some field in Ukraine and our artillery forces move pretty damn fast.

The amount of destruction Russia could cause is of course still an enormous humanitarian crisis, but even if they could turn Kiyv to wasteland (and kill millions while doing it), it still wouldn't change the outcome of full Nato response without any bullshit politics limiting on actions if anyone is allowed to strike on the Russian soil.

Medvedev found keys for the booze cabinet again? They seem to happily forget the fact that Moscow is well within reach of multiple Nato countries by now. Obviously a ton of things need to change before anyone with a gun is standing on a red square, but Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Poland (among others) are quite capable of hitting the Kreml (in theory, and in practise if needed) with fighter jets in less than 30 minutes. Additionally their ports opening to gulf of Finland are in reach of both Finns and Estonians with traditional artillely, and at least we in Finland are pretty capable and accurate with our hardware.

So, even if they find some old soviet relic still functional, Nato has multiple options to level multiple cities at Russia before their missile hits the ground. Nuclear attack against Ukraine would of course be a humongous tragedy with terrible price on civil casualties, but I'm pretty confident that it would be the last thing the Russia we currently know would do as a country.

As far as I know it is the default way of handling multiple DNS servers. I'd guess that at least some of the firmware running around treats them as primary/secondary, but based on my (limited) understanding at least majority of linux/bsd based software uses one or the other more or less randomly without any preference. So, it's not always like that, but I'd say it's less comon to treat dns entries with any kind of preference instead of picking one out randomly.

But as there's a ton of various hardware/firmware around this of course isn't conclusive, for your spesific case you need to dig out pretty deep to get the actual answer in your situation.

have an additional external DNS server

While I agree with you that additional DNS server is without a question a good thing, on this you need to understand that if you set up two nameservers on your laptop (or whatever) they don't have any preference. So, if you have a pihole as one nameserver and google on another you will occasionally see ads on things and your pihole gets overrided every now and then.

There's multiple ways of solving this, but people often seem to have a misinformed idea that the first item on your dns server list would be preferred and that is very much not the case.

Personally I'm running a pihole for my network on a VM and if that's down for a longer time then I'll just switch DNS servers from DHCP and reboot my access points (as family hardware is 99% on wifi) and the rest of the family has working internet while I'm working to bring rest of the infrastructure back on line, but that's just my scenario, yours will most likely be more or less different.

En minäkään tiedä alkon myymälöiden liiketoiminnasta mitään, mutta sinne on kumminkin viinat, viskit, rommit ja aika paljon muuta jäämässä sen asiantuntemuksen ja muun kanssa. Ihan yhtälailla ainakin paikallisessa alkossa on tarjolla tuplapukkia ja muuta olutta mitä saa siitä viereisestä prismastakin, hintoja en ole vertaillut vaan veikkaan että s-mafia myy halvemmalla.

Toisaalta jos merkittävä määrä pienempien kuntien alkoista menisi kiinni niin ehkä sitten saataisiin alkoholin etämyynti jotenkin järkeväksi, mutta en taida pidättää hengitystä tuota odotellessa.

Alkothan ei tuon myötä olisi poistumassa mihinkään ja ainakin itse näen ihan positiivisena että omia lemppareita voisi pyytää paikalliselta k-kauppiaalta hyllyyn eikä tarvitsisi aina lähteä sinne alkoon asti kun semmoista ei omalta kylältä löydy. Tuo 15 prosenttia tosin jonkin verran rajaa valikoimaa.

Samalla voisi siivota sen nykyisen valmistustaparajoituksen pois muista juomista.

And, just to clarify for those who didn't click the link, that's gap in usage. So Russia still shoots twice as many shells than Ukraine, but it's getting closer. Article doesn't mention if that's because Ukraine has more shells available or if Russia shoots less, I'd guess it's because of both.

losing 1380 personnel, but only 1 tank

That's what I've been following too. And additionally, based on quick'n'rough estimation from wikipedia numbers, artillery reserves are pretty much depleted too, so Russia is fighting on what ever soviet era relics they can refurbish and what they can manufacture/buy. I don't think they'll have short of ammunition any time soon, but diminishing numbers of barrels should start to show up on these statistics 'in the near future', whenever that might be.

My bank uses 6 digit 'customer number' (which is set by the bank) and that's verified with an app and a personal PIN (app shows 'login attempt ABCD at mm.dd. hh:mm' where ABCD is shown on login page too) or via SMS OTP (again with 'ABCD' verification). And again with personal pin + app or OTP to confirm transactions. The app itself can be protected with a fingerprint or phone pin and every new installation needs to be registered to the system, so I can't just use my phone app to access my wifes account (or anyone elses) but I still can map multiple accounts (like corporate ones) to the same installation.

I think that's pretty reasonable approach.

Well, on channel description he clearly states that those are only motorized recreations of suggested perpetual motion machines. But on individual videos that info doesn't seem to be that readily available, so it's not totally wrong to say that the whole channel is a lie, but strictly speaking not excactly correct either.

Some of those gadgets would make a nice desktop toy, obviously with a usb power brick or batteries.
