Infrared lasers aren't visible. They're still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it's predominantly blue coloured green.

I would say don't give DOGE any ideas but I think that's less bad than some of their own.

Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question "In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?" Palestinians get 33%.

Barrier is only for inputs IIRC. To get Keyboard Mouse and Video (more usually KVM) you need some kind of remote desktop software. Rustdesk is pretty straightforward. I think Gnome handles RDP access natively now if you're running a Gnome based Linux distro. Otherwise XRDP is a bit of a faff, but solid once it's working.

If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I'm not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.

How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there's two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.

Not that it particularly matters for just queries. The problem is that DHCP can only be enabled on one host. If that one fails then devices can't get on to the network themselves. I'd like to know a good way to have a failover DHCP server - my janky cronjob isn't great.

Where do you do DHCP? I had a primary pihole with DHCP enabled and a secondary with a cron job that enabled DHCP if the primary was down or disabled it if the primary was working. The cron job did sync DHCP leases from one to the other but it was a bit janky. I tried to update the secondary to pihole v6 and hosed it so I have no backup for now. I'd like to re-image the secondary and get a better setup - when I have time.

Edit to say I really wanted to try keepalived - that's really cool to fail over without clients noticing.

Solar photovoltaic doesn't involve steam. We can be solarpunk as well!

I guess hydro-power uses steam in the global water cycle so I'll give you that. Radio-Thermal Generators are all solid state, but not much power on earth comes from them.
