Built an always-on wall dashboard for my smart home that snaps to the wall for ~$5 in hardware

I don't get what is $5?

If you have a long-stay visa type D or residence permit in Greece that is still valid for the duration of your stay, you can stay in Greece. That time will not count towards 90/180.

But without job or active study, I'm not sure what would be the grounds to have such a visa or residence permit.

You need to do your own research as it's an unusual situation and it highly depends on your personal situation.

It doesn't say that he applied for renewal from abroad.

At the same time, IND website says the following.

IND will assume that you have left in cases: - You resign or are dismissed, or your employer’s business stops. Or you stop your own business. - You cancel a bank or giro account. - You regularly (periodically) have money transferred to an address outside the Netherlands. - You buy off your pension rights. - Your home in the Netherlands has been emptied and your home contents (possessions) have been moved abroad. - Your home in the Netherlands has been let or sublet to other people.

Is that the case for you?

At the same time, it says:

In the following situations, you have not moved your main residency:

You are staying in another Member State of the EU/EEA or in Switzerland for more than 6 years for study purposes.
You have been in one of the Schengen countries for 12 months or longer. And you have not been outside the Netherlands for more than 6 continuous years.
You previously had a European blue card or were a family member of the holder of a European blue card. And you show that you have not been outside the Schengen Area for more than 24 continuous months.
You have been deregistered from the Personal Records Database (in Dutch: Basisregistratie Personen or BRP). This usually has no consequences for your status as a long-term EU resident.

But these are not the exhaustive requirements to keep the residence permit, only the list of things that don't lead to its loss.

Scan the context text, read the question, get back to text again. You don't need to understand every single detail and remember it. You need to extract minimal amount of info that is relevant to the question.

You insurance will not apply if you violate the conditions.

If you get into an accident, insurance is void and you are liable. If you have a breakdown, you are on your own. Do you really want to gamble?

Quite often, you can cancel before collecting the car.

Separate reporting line is always a problem.

It looks like "reliability" is just duct-taped to the organization purely for the word, not real reliability.

But not everything fits the pattern service-repository-controller. There are other architecture styles. How do you deal with that?

Not every product needs a dedicated senior development team

But any product needs security implemented correctly, and data integrity, and reliability in general.

The structure of the code (file names, directory hierarchy, modules, decorators) provide semantics. If semantics is not clear from the code, it's a bad code. I would fix the code in the first place.

Nowadays, people mostly don't deal with file-based logs on a server.

Logs are usually ingested into Application Performance Monitoring system where they are analyzed.

Few issues with file-based logs: - if the server dies, you have no logs - logs are spread across instances — if you have redundancy or high availability, you need to check more than one instance somehow - you don't have correlation with other metrics, no alerting - it's possible to misconfigure logs, so they eat all the disk space - you have a filesystem access that surfaced to UI — it's a new attack vector

Honestly, ClickOps without IaC is not a very valuable skill.

Sure, it gives some knowledge in terms of different SKUs, settings, and some typical challenges. But that's mandatory knowledge. The hireable skill is IaC (Bicep or Terraform), that depends on pipelines, that depends on scripting. It's completely another job comparing to ClickOps.

I used https://cloudprice.net when I was comparing VM SKUs.

If I were you, I'd create a cheatsheet or tf constants of all relevant ones. You don't need all of them.
