This reads as very performative. You don't have to choose between posting 10 times a day or deleting your account; you could just post less or use it for major updates.

A fun project that results in a unique and stylish router is repurposing a Mac Pro Trashcan. They can be picked up for a few hundred dollars, offer dual 1GbE Intel NICs that work natively on Linux, and have plenty of CPU and RAM overhead. Throw OPNsense on there and you’re off to the races.

If 50% of the world started running the CCP backed fork and 50% of the world ran the US backed fork, which one would you choose for your phone?

Right now, you need a guaranteed paycheck, not a speculative project.

A side hustle might replace your income one day, but it won’t move fast enough to solve a six-month rent deficit. Focus 100% of your energy on securing a job first; once your housing is stable, you can use your off-hours to build that $10k idea.

It's worth considering: Run the PiVPN script on a Ubuntu/Debian based VM. Set it to use a non-standard random port. That will be your only port exposed to the internet.

Add the generated Wireguard key to any device (laptops, phones, etc) and access your home LAN as if it was local from anywhere in the world for free.

Works well, super easy to setup, secure, and fast.

You haven't realized that they have been taking their payment from your refund all these years? They are a business not a charity.

>That's a pretty high bar

Really? That reads as the lowest possible bar. The legislature just needs to pass a law that allows for the snooping and it is then in 100% compliance with that section. Not even to mention "necessary in a democratic society", I can't imagine wording more broad than that.
