I had set up this configuration around 2016 and found it a little clunky. I called it a SkyHole. It was great, and now we have the ability to install DNS profiles on most phones, or configure DNS profiles for PCs such that I use a (“free”) commercial provider and get as blocking which takes care of 99% of the noise, and don’t have to fuss about with maintaining a dedicated device.

Everything old is new again.

Note linking is what did it for me a few years back. It’s possible in OneNote, and clunky as hell.

I was sold the moment I read links can be wiki style in Obsidian.

There is a fairly misunderstood tax rule which lets US persons working abroad for more than 330 days per year to exclude a reasonably large chunk of income: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion

There are plenty of “compromised antenna” options for you; there are loads of amateur operators who simply run their antenna around the largest room in their apartment and make long-range communications. It’s not optimal, but it works.

There’s a whole movement in amateur radio right now which relies on being light and portable. A 15 meter carbon fiber mast, some wire, 12v and 100W and you can work the world from a park.

Rule 1 of politics: Answer the question you want, not the question you’re asked.

It’s been a while since I setup my system, but as I recall they are interconnected via the smart hub, and do not need internet at all. When I first configured our system, IOT was probably the topic of an exploratory whitepaper and not yet reliant on internet. But times have changed! Give it a bit more searching; we’ve been happy for quite a long time with the devices. They even have plugs which you can convert dumb devices to a smart HA device—but you’ll have to get them on eBay because they’ve been discontinued:/

Caseta switches can handle 3-pole switches in exactly the way you’ve described. You could even set them up with dimmers, pico remotes (and eliminate one of the switches). If you get the wireless bridge (now known as Smart Hub) you might be able to tie it into your HA depending on your ecosystem.

You may do well to obtain an external antenna, either omni-directional or directional antenna (if you know for certain where your nearest cell antenna is, and can point it there with a clear line of sight). This antenna would need to be mounted outside your home or office.

That tiny connector there should be called an “SMA” connector, and the specific antenna you need will depend on which cellular technology you are on, 4G, LTE, and so on.

This is akin to keyword-stuffing blog posts, it’s a technique nearly as old as Google itself. They know about it.

For good reason. It’s basically a speed run of enshittification from day-one.

Most of the larger LLMs state the results of the model stemming from the user’s prompt intellectually belong to the user.

It’s a massive grey area, and the sum of these kinds of cases are what will define ownership of LLM output for the next ~50 years.

Don’t get me wrong, kid absolutely did not comply with the spirit of the assignment.

If the student hired someone to write their essay and the author assigned all copyrights to the student, it’s still plagiarism.

Who legally owns the work isn’t the issue with plagiarism.
