VPN into your home lab isn't about privacy, it's more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.
If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.
It's not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.
I cut my spending to the bone. I can afford to spend more, but I don't see any reason to participate in the economy more than I have to.
That's how people click on them. I follow a science interview podcast and they hired a new producer that started changing the YouTube thumbnails to those generic dumb click bait ones.
The host says he hates it, but can't argue that whenever they make a thumbnail like that, the views are significantly higher.
In the end, you do what draws eyeballs. The content is what matters.
Yeah, it's been hit and miss with downloading from the Kindle. I mostly get books from the library and strip the DRM from there. I figure it's a win-win, because the library gets a record of the checkout, but then I get to read it at my leisure while the next person gets to read it.
Ted Lasso is just Major League, but fútbol.

This currently works, but I don't know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.
The "old Kindle PC app" might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it's going to be done soon as well.
edit: One thing I ran into was after installing the kindle app and turning off the auto-update, it still updates. So keep the installer handy and just reinstall it as needed.
I've tried a bunch of times, but haven't really found anything that's been particularly useful as a steamdeck 3d printed accessory. Probably the closest I've come is a steamdeck gridfinity storage solution for my desk, and a stand to play if I felt like using an xbox controller instead of holding the deck.
Here's the ones linked from the video, nothing in there was super interesting. Best one of the bunch was the charger insert, but I've found it to be annoying to use. I just go back to a small bag to stuff the charger into.

This YouTube video covers it pretty well. Part of a trend away from suspenders and using less fabric changed mens style to low waist, along with people coming back from war thinking the uniforms were more practical.
The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn't 126 years old, so we'll say they're 26.
You can tell it's an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)
Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.
I have an indoor/outdoor thermometer to keep track of how hot the back of my Expedition gets. I drive pretty regularly with two dogs in the back, and over the summer and winter the temps can get a little extreme.
I need to be able to take it out to keep an eye on it remotely (it has about 1/4 mile range) but also have it not rolling around while I drive.
There was a coin holder there that I popped out, and used as a template for an insert to keep this mounted semi-permanently.
Printed with kinda crappy Amazon Basics PETG. If it holds up well, I'll reprint it with better quality black PETG so it matches the car better.
This was a fun project, I had to measure and figure out the iottie thread pitch and then create an adapter to go from a phone mount stand to a backplate on my wireless camera screen for a backup camera on a trailer.
Basically replicated the back plate from the original phone mount with the same tolerances and spacing.
Took 2 test prints to make sure the threads and spacing was right, then I printed it out of PETG. Seems to hold up well, but I might end up adjusting the design over time if it has a weak point.
They also typo'd 16 "MB" of ram for the recommended specs for Windows.
