I had an xslt file that crashed my whole server. Was just supposed to render html for a page but things got recursive.

I would think that since it is a law to comply. It is required to fall within the scope of at least someone's responsibilities.

So your home has multiple circuits. Each outlet in the home is on one of these circuits. If you want to power your fridge, I assume the panel needs to be plugged into the same circuit as the fridge. Is this correct that “you are powering a circuit, not your house”?

No this is not how circuits work in your house. While they are each protected by a separate breaker they are all sharing the same power from the panel bus.

The breakers do not prevent power flowing from an outlet back into the panel bus. They are thermal magnetic trip devices (99% of the time). The thermal is just a strip that when you get too much current for too long gets hot, expands, and trips the switch.

The magnetic part is a coil and too much current too quickly pulls it like a lever.

Nothing here will prevent “backflow” of electricity. It can’t because AC is always going both directions. It is reversing direction 50-60 times a second

The only thing you will hit is whether the power is on the same phase as your fridge. If not it’s going back to the grid.

No, I think the idea is it backfeeds into everything connected by the same wire -- unless the grid shuts down entirely and there's no 60-cycle signal to synchronize to, in which case it shuts down for safety.

Depending on country, you still need to hit the right phase if you want the power to go to your appliance (metaphorically)

After Singapore, there just wasn't any choice.

I have one VM that uses traefik, letsencrypt, OIDC, stun/turn, and tailscale and acts as a front door to my homelab. Gives me TLS termination and actual domain names for the services that I want to be publicly accessible.

This is cool, but I have the same in my house - is there any advantage beside likely better uptime? I do have a physical firewall in between, I suppose there's no need for it with your setup?

I've used dynamic DNS services before and I've never really been happy with the free tier. I'm either too restricted, giving them my money, giving them my privacy, using a static IP for my home network (yikes!), or adding a dependency I don't control to my whole stack.

Also it's going to stay up even if my house catches fire which is something.

I mean, if the goal is fewer people, then there are many many nefarious ways to achieve that.

Really with birthrates the way they are going, unless radical life extension comes soon it's going to be a problem that "solves itself".

We could also just do a good ol' fashioned culling!

It sounds like these changes won't even touch H1B

Well it does impact h1b because h1b has a maximum time of 6 years unless the visaholder has an approved green card application. So, by blocking new green card applications (at least the most common path) this effectively puts a ceiling on the number of H1B visaholders.

Oh boy, time to Put everyone's job loss, home loss, death, and herpes diagnosis on the blockchain. NFTs anyone? Prediction markets!??

When you have a hammer, everything starts to seem like a nail. /s :)

Why the /s? There is a reason why we don't use hammers for all tasks even though we could find ways to accomplish many of them with one.

The tree-view is practical for users but seems impractical for relational database performance.

SELECT * FROM files p LEFT JOIN files c ON p.id = c.parent_id LEFT JOIN files gc ON c.id = gc.parent_id LEFT JOIN files ggc ON gc.id = ggc.parent_id .... where p.id = 123

Datalog could handle it, though.
