  • I honestly thought it was already over $1T annually.

    However, I still remained pretty worried about shipbuilding capacity, at least until the situation over Taiwan can be resolved. If there ever is a large conflict that causes loss in any significant amount in ships it will be very, very difficult to replace. The current shipyards have orders beyond what they can produce, but even more significantly there is a severe shortage in labor that can even build ships.

    Also the comparisons he makes I strongly feel are quite poor. There is a large difference in the budgets of various countries in defense spending. Its really hard to argue that the US and France should spend in similar amounts due to size, population, and commitments. And the cost for manufacturing and paying salaries in the US is quite different than what China can do. So the US will always have to spend the more, though we do still in other measures such as a per capita basis its not as extreme as its made out to be.




  • I have been using Vikunja instead of Google Keep. I like the mix of todo list and kanban board. I also use audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks, then calibre for regular books. And a very lightweight rss app.

    I’m a little more advanced with selfhosting at this point though. I use a combination of intel NUCs (RIP) locally and Digital Ocean to run Kubernetes clusters. I have a whole setup with argocd, gitea, authentik, tekton, prometheus, loki, grafana, etc, etc. But its a been a learning process that started with a rpi too.

    I highly recommend mini pcs for selfhosting. Especially the intel ones since they have quick sync which is a pretty good hardware transcoder. Not sure about AMD ones, they might have something similar.

    Oh, I use homepage as a homepage, but there as so many and I sometimes switch around a lot. Its good to have variety there.









  • You have to use a public DNS registrar, and that DNS record has to point to your public IP if you want to automate to a public CA. All of my subdomains are in my local DNS server though and I use a wilcard for them. So no one externally can go to jellyfin.mydomain.com, but they could go to www.mydomain.com to my IP, but that doesn’t forward on my router either.

    But also only automated scrappers are going to look for my domain too and they are going to be blocked in the same way automated scrappers for residential IPs are blocked. I could be wrong, but I don’t think there are ways to bypass security with knowing the domain name tied to an IP.


  • If you use Let’s Encrypt, or any public CA, all of your domains and certificates will be public. You can use a wildcard to avoid revealing subdomains. There is a website that you can use to search what is available, but I don’t remember what it is.

    I suspect there aren’t any serious risks to having that information revealed. The only real reason would be privacy against which services you are using on that domain.
