How do Signal stop forks from connecting to their servers?

The VPN should keep access to the homelab even when the external IP changes. Assuming the VPN connects from the homelab to the cloud. The reverse proxy would use the VPN local IPs to connect to services.

The last time I activated a TV was in 2022. It was a Sony X85K and it didn't require a connection. I've subsequently only used it with a CCwGTV.

Before that I activated a Samsung U..7300 or something like that in 2020. That didn't require connection either. I also used it with a CCwGTV.

ARM isn't the x86 solution people like it to be. It's at least as proprietary as x86 and the fact that it's more widely licenced today than x86 is a happy coincidence. ARM licensing can dry up with a change in corporate leadership or a takeover by one of a myriad large corporations. A solution worth cheering would be a good enough open RISC-V core.

If you're switching low power inconsequential things like LED lights, they're OK.

This like most plugs in this format is not for inductive loads so it can only handle 300W with such:

It might be OK if the AC units are small enough.

If you're gonna be switching AC units, you likely want a plug that can switch inductive loads. Most can't. Well they can but their relays crap out quickly. Here's an example of a unit rated for inductive loads. It's for NA and uses Z-wave so it's not what you're looking for. They explicitly call out it can be used for AC motors. Some units explicitly say they can't be used for inductive loads but many don't and you learn the hard way.

You can't have one set of laws for small companies and another set of laws for large companies.

This is false. We can, and we do. Antitrust laws are one example off the top of my head. There are probably others. The assumption that every actor has to pay the same price is false as well. There are countless examples for this.

This view is a bit naive in that it doesn't take into account a lot of variables. It favors established large actors in their ability to extract and accumulate ever more value from the ones they link.

Do you mean via QEMU without hardware acceleration?

This is correct. There's no containerization like LXC/Docker.
