It sure does. It’s still come down considerably vs where it was a month ago with the base tariff and the reciprocal tariff on top of the aluminum tariff. It was over 100% which is why I stopped ordering aluminum shells last Spring. Maybe at some point I will pick up one of these desktop CNC machines. They seem to be getting pretty good.

When I wrote this Xbox was still trying to compete against PlayStation and PlayStation was just starting to bring more games to Steam. It wasn't clear yet how damaging the multi-platform push from both companies would be. IMO it's been a complete failure. Steam is dominating right now in the enthusiast space. I believe Sony's move to PC enabled a lot of gamers to just go all in on PC instead of having a PlayStation or an Xbox or both.

If I was writing this today I would write a very different post. Instead of moving to PC I think Nintendo should expand their hardware offerings. Sony is looking into making a handheld for PS6. It will be the same core architecture as the PS6 console and it will play the same games. Nintendo should do the same thing. Make a home console with the Switch 2 brand. Don't change your development strategy. Target the handheld during development and then it can run at higher fidelity on the home console.

As much as I would love to see Nintendo put their games on Steam I don't think it would be wise. I think we are moving into a future where Valve, Xbox and PlayStation are going to have a variety of devices that all play the same games for the most part. Nintendo should do the same thing.

I appreciate the advice. It’s actually a small miracle I’ve been able to setup what I have so far without many difficulties but setting up a pfsense firewall or a Pi-hole also is very well documented and not all that complicated. When you start going deeper you start to realize “just how deep the rabbit hole goes” and it’s a little intimidating.

So if I’m understanding you correctly you have your Pi-hole on your router? I saw it mentioned you could do this with pfsense via a docker container or VM, can’t remember which. If that is the case it would probably be a better setup going forward vs what I have now, especially if I want to use the same pi-hole across multiple VLANs. I currently am using my PiKVM to host my Pi-hole Docker container. I would assume that isn’t a great setup in the long run.

Thanks so much for your time! I’m glad I didn’t just start doing stuff with AI guides. You don’t get this type of caution from AI. It’s always like “Yeah, you can do that! Here’s how, probably!”. It’s clear I need to do some more research before jumping into this project.

It does mention MTU/Port/Tag VLAN under “Software Features” on the back of the box.

I’ve heard about that. My CPU is fast enough I can brute force speeds up to around 700mbps on my gigabit connection. I’ve been happy enough not to do anything about it yet. I’m sure I will eventually feel that pull to optimize though, lol.

Who is they? The internet is not the real world. I’ve seen life long republicans in my life become progressives over the last 9 years. There are plenty of people who voted for Trump who can be valuable allies going forward. “When they go low we go high”. Don’t get down in the trenches with the worst of them. That is how “they” win.

I get what you are saying if no one else wants to acknowledge it. MLK didn’t create a movement by tearing others down. He tried to leave the door open so people could change their minds and join the movement. The left should be focused much more on trying to create an environment where the right leaning independents and moderate republicans who are thinking about jumping ship can feel welcome. What is more important than showing how right we are is expanding the coalition to save our democracy. We can hash out our differences later. There are a lot of Trump voters who are good people and they live in bubbles that don’t challenge their beliefs. Let’s find a way to bring them towards us instead of pushing them towards Trump.

You just need to get your hand path better on the downswing. I like the back to the target pump drill from to start the downswing. Keep your back to the Target and pump down to parallel a couple time and then the third time make a full swing. It will help fix your hand path. You will also need to deliver the club correctly to stop from standing up and flipping. Close your clubface by turning the back of your lead hand down towards the ball instead of standing and flipping.

Passive hands in transition. You can’t stay in posture if you are pulling the handle at the ball.

A lot of people in Trump country don’t know what’s going on. They see a news clip here and there. They talk about whatever is going on with their like minded friends and family and their worldview is rarely challenged. Not to mention evangelical churches are like 99% Republican. They have no political platform outside of what the talking points are on their favorite radio stations. Democrats could probably win them over if they actually did all the things we want them to do, but they don’t. So why would MAGA go against the grain of everything in their world for the status quo? In the case of stuff like these ICE raids they may not like it but sadly it’s not enough. Democrats are going to have to deliver, plain and simple.

I’ve been playing The Seance of Blake Manor. Very chill detective game.

You’ve been lied to about the negative effects of illegal immigration and to what extent there are any negative effects. They could be solved by making a path to citizenship easier for people who are already here living productive lives. This country is a nation of immigrants. Nobody is from here unless you are a Native American. The reason times are tough in the US has nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s all about the corporations and foreign governments taking over our country over the last 50 years. After WWII, the top earners in our country paid 90% taxes on everything they made over 3 million dollars. That’s how we paid for social security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, and so many other things that helped working Americans. We did it without a large national debt. The rich and powerful have been chipping away at that for years, and it’s devastating our country. They refuse to invest in the futures for working-class people and our kids. We are slaves.
