It's because lifetime licenses aren't sustainable. I'm surprised they still offer it.

Plex is an actual company that has an office and employees, so they have recurring costs every month. A lot of people already have lifetime licenses that they're not likely to receive any more revenue from. It's likely they're increasing the price to help recoup costs or convince people to subscribe to a monthly subscription rather than get a lifetime license.

I do live in the USA at the moment, but in a state that pays waitstaff well (California).

There's too many American people online that just assume everything is about the USA though. It gets to me sometimes :)

Does it use http or MQTT?

Home Assistant uses HTTP for this. Realistically, you won't see much difference between HTTP and MQTT for this use case.

MQTT is harder to secure than HTTP, and has some limitations (eg it normally only supports username and password auth - no SSO, no 2FA) so I'd avoid it for anything public-facing unless you have a specific reason to use it. Using it via a VPN is fine, but you'd still need to configure a separate MQTT username and password per user.

iptables should still work, but these days it gets converted to nftables so you may as well just learn nftables.

Having said that, I find it a pain to manually configure iptables or nftables. There might be a better way to do what you want.

I assume this is for basic economy only, where you can't select a seat? If I choose a seat when booking, I can't imagine the airline allows someone else to choose the same seat?

Residential ISPs usually have a contention ratio somewhere around 30:1 to 50:1. That means that 30 to 50 customers that each have a 1Gbps connection all share 1Gbps of upstream bandwidth.

Business connections are closer to 10:1, and a leased line (dedicated circuit) is 1:1.

An interesting side effect is that the models coming out of China are very efficient. They don't have access to all the high-end hardware the US has, so they have to make do with what they've got.

If you see bad translations in open-source projects, please help by fixing them :)

It's a straightforward way to contribute to open-source, even if you know nothing about coding, and it helps a lot. It's hard for open source projects to find good translators.

The other thing that really helps is improving documentation. Developers hate writing docs :)

They no longer sell or include AP

That's true only in the USA and Canada. You can still get autopilot in most of the world, especially in countries where FSD isn't approved.

The end goal is to have no reliance on tailscale as i am preparing for the eventual enshitification.

Tailscale is mostly open-source. If they do anything bad then someone could fork the project. The coordination server isn't open-source, but you could self-host Headscale as a replacement.

If it still doesn't suit your use cases, there's some alternatives.

I personally wouldn't directly deal with iptables or nftables rules, and instead use some other software to deal with that.

iptables is deprecated... If you really do want to do your own custom thing you should learn nftables.

Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state all have the same minimum wage for both tipped and non-tipped jobs.

A few other states have a tipped minimum wage that's lower than their regular minimum wage, but still higher than the $2.13/hr federal minimum.
