Like, I get that tariffs are the lever to reduce dependence on foreign wildfire smoke, but the US needs to bolster domestic supply before they try to reduce foreign imports.

    I always treat things like projectStatus and userEmail as a kind of code smell.
    If a variable name carries too much context, then I figure out why and how to carry that context in a better way (project.status user.email)

    Isn't always doable. But that's why it's a smell, not a rule

    A CNC shop wouldn't start because someone decides "I want to start a CNC shop".

    It would start cause some guy has a mill and a lathe for hobby stuff, and does some work for a mate or a local business.
    And then gets more work, and gets work that requires CNC, and gets more work than 1 person can deal with, and then needs more machines and machinists and CAD tech and designers and so on.

    Yeh, a business could get something from PCBway or whatever. But maybe they need it by the end of the day, or maybe they need an opinion on something, or maybe they can't do the actual technical document production but can provide some measurements and a rough sketch.

    Apply that to anything.
    The UK Army's L96A1 was made by 3 guys in a shed.

    The Ministry of Defence wanted Accuracy International to submit an entry, but when they won handily, suddenly the three men in Mr Walls’ shed were charged with producing over 1200 rifles and all of a sudden needed to prove they could make that many weapons.

    What they did was rent out a workshop for a day and filled it with all of the guns they had made in the shed up to that point, claimed the rest of the staff were out to lunch and later found out when they went to eat with the requisitions lieutenants that the inspection was purely to ensure the operation was not just three men in a shed.

    Get them to send you the check.
    Say you deposited it.
    See what happens.

    Offer steam gift cards as the payment for the inevitable "I sent too much" part of the scam. Steam is no longer selling physical gift cards.
    So you can waste some time pretending to go to a shop, unable to find them, trying other shops etc.

    Kitboga is a master at wasting scammers time if you want some YT vids to watch.

    I'd start with learning some networking basics.
    Subnets, default gateways, DNS, routes, VLANs.

    Then get another computer to install proxmox on.
    Learn VMs, SSH, firewalls, basically Linux. Probably VPNs as well.

    Then set up a VM and play with docker & docker-compose.

    And that's most of the tooling to be able to self host anything. A VM with docker, set up the docker compose of what you want, boom: done.
    Some projects are more of a "full of" kinda thing (like home assistant), which would be its own VM
