Some markdown-like static blog generators just replace -- with emdash.

I used one such in the past, written in PHP by someone who was keen on proper typography.

There are about 50 people on EU sanctions list that tried this, who can't travel, or engage in any normal economic activity.

Piracy is a socially responsible thing to do these days, when MS reportedly helps persecuting and killing people. IBM of 2020s.

> and killing people.

I wasn't aware of that, what are you referring to?

You just have outbound NAT enabled, so that your internal nodes can access the internet, no mapping to any internal nodes is set from the outside and no firewall. (just NAT alone) So all packets to your router's address will terminate at the router. Right?

OK, let's say I send a packet to your router's external interface with destination IP set to internal address of one of nodes in your network.

Will it reach your internal host? Will I get a response? ;-) I hope you now appreciate how NAT is not a firewall at all.

Cheapish (~$1000) thinkpad E14 gen7 (AMD) variant has battery life of >24h (reading/typing in vim). At least according to power meter, not that I'd read or type that long.

And everything works on it on Linux, even obscure things like fingerprint sensor, various bizarro Fn key combos, all the various HW accelerations (video encode/decode via vaapi), etc. I didn't find anything that would not work.

That fails to meet the need of having a bogeyman to get people to cheer you on as you recruit your brownshirts and start looting the coffers.

5pcs 2 layer default settings 80x100mm boards ($4 vs EUR 124) is pretty much 30x.

I double checked because these were not the prices I had in mind.

After looking through the options, I think that's because the designs I did quotations for had 0.2mm holes. This is standard for Eurocircuits, but high precision for JLCPCB.

Note that to get the price you quoted, you'll get lead in your PCB, and vias that are not plated, but plugged with conductive epoxy. Changing that gets you to $14 for 5 boards, which is still way cheaper than Eurocircuits.

I'll keep that in mind for the next PCB I design: keep holes bigger than 0.3mm if possible.

My idea of fun is deeply tied to understanding how things work—learning them, then applying that knowledge in my own way, as simply as possible. That process gives me a sense of ownership and control, which is not something I get from an approach where AI does things for me that I do not understand.

Yep, and the comment section predictably attracts the people who just complain they want something but will do nothing about it, not even complain to the right place (like their favorite proprietary SW/HW vendor, to improve their Linux support).

Have your network managing software setup a default route with a lower metric than wireguard default route based on wifi SSID. Can be done easily with systemd-networkd, because you can match .network file configurations on SSID. You're probably out of luck with this approach on network-setup-challenged devices like so called smart phones.
