Thanks for this. Gotta step up my game apparently. haha
Blogs, news for each of the countries I spend time in, tech industry stuff, podcasts, torrent feeds, etc..
I honestly love it. Of course it's not perfect but I don't ever want to go back to the old way if I can avoid it.
It's *nix under the hood. You can run docker images really easily on it for extra functionality. I doubt the DSM tooling is open.
SUVs are popular because they have emissions exemptions.. Car makers, you don't have to push this garbage anymore with electrics. Just let it go, man.
Ages ago I did this with some cli tool that found episode/movie metadata stored in themoviedb or somewhere and just built a shell script around it. I don't remember the name unfortunately. Now I just let Plex manage it and I don't bother.
This looks like it might work though:
Yeah I came in from the TechTV days too.
Sara Lane had a download of the day about the Synergy network kvm thing. "It works for both windows and linux."
That's how I ended up installing Linux for the first time.. I didn't know anything about it other that I hated windows and that was something different. 20+ years later I basically haven't been without a Linux box ever since.
Kerning Cultures should be on the list of everyone who likes 99PI and This American Life. It's like those two shows had a baby and it grew up in the Arab world.
I use feedly pretty much every day. The Times for reasonable news. Bloomberg because it's the closest thing to right-wing news that isn't batshit crazy. Lots of international sources for other perspectives.. BBC, Al Jazeera, Japan Times, etc.. Then lots of tech industry news just because that's my field.
The subscriptions are going to seem high when you first look but this is the reality of the current news landscape.. If you want legitimate news it's going to cost money. If you want legitimate news that isn't completely dependent on advertising, it's going to cost more money.
That's a lot slower at scale than something like Loki.
To be fair, with a proper autoscaling scheme in place these services should scale down significantly when not in use.
That being said, a big reason for using AWS/GCP is all the additional services that are available on the platform.. If the workload being run isn't that complicated, the hyperscalers are probably overkill. Even DO or Linode would be a better option under those circumstances.

The FEIE is only concerned about your relationship with America. It doesn't matter what country/countries you decide to live in.
As far as the transition, I didn't know it was happening until much later. When I left America it was to travel full time. I wasn't specifically going to one place so saying goodbye to friends and family was like, "I'll be around. Catch you guys later." 2-3 years later I was thinking to myself, "Oh shit.. You're like.. really gone."
For work, I hold myself pretty strictly to working on US east coast hours so there is as little friction as possible with the employers. I moved my phone to a virtual provider and updated all banking and W4 paperwork to use a mailbox service in Florida (no state level income tax in FL).
You do get very bored with tourist stuff though. I think I would rather die than set foot in another museum or see some old building or religious site or whatever.. Now 100% of the travel I still do is to see people I care about.
Good luck.
