Building a node can be done for under 20€ with a Heltec V3. Not the most power efficient, but not an issue if you're running it from usb power anyway.
Also a note: the map doesn't show all nodes, my node can see a lot more devices around me than are listed on the map. Maybe some issues with reporting or something (which is optional in the first place)
In general I'm all for the digital euro and have been waiting for it for years. One complained i have about the proposed implementation as explained in the video is the limitation of funds and almost coerced linking to a bank account. That feels like heavy lobbying from banks not too loose their business
I can very well imagine them actually gathering all that data, but this list of permissions is something a lot of apps have nowadays. Even very trivial apps. And 99% of people don't care.
Of course it's another matter if you immediately have the kgb in front of your door, compared to just getting your data collected and sold, but still
Actually even for qr codes the pixel count (or rather camera quality) makes a huge difference. Got a new phone last year with much better camera then previous. Suddenly during presentations i didn't need to awkwardly semi stand up and try to get closer. Just recognized the code immediately
So what you can do hardware wise is either any usff pc with 2 drives (used Lenovo's are fairly popular), or diy build with an Intel n150 board and some drives. Both are usually very silent since they don't have active cooling. If you spend the money for ssd's then it's completely silent.
Wouldn't go with off the shelf nas, since it's a trend to move more and more behind subscriptions and you never know how long you'll have a feature.
For Software:
I'd definitely go with jellyfin. Plex is commercializing hard.
Remote access is easy and secure with tailscale
For ebooks calibre-web
Music and torrent i don't know enough to suggest anything
Base system maybe some truenas and all services as containers
Also, dass jeder der ein Kind bekommt sich auch dafür Zeit nehmen sollte (beide) stimme ich absolut zu. Leider sind halt aber alle Kinder unterschiedlich und ich kann den Vorredner voll verstehen. Was du hier erzählst klingt nach einer schönen Zeit, könnte ich mir mit meiner Tochter aber auch überhaupt nicht vorstellen. Kuscheln und chillen existieren in ihnem Wörterbuch nicht und das erste Jahr hat sie auch nicht allein geschlafen, dh es war 24h jemand bei ihr und nebenbei konnte man maximal Videos schauen wenn sie schläft.
Daran ändern kann man halt nichts, aber da überlegt man sich schon genau ob man noch eins will
We can get rid of DST while keeping that extra hour if we default to summer time, not winter. DST statistically causes many accidents twice a year, because our brains aren't ready / thrown off their rhythm, so making away with it would have a positive impact outside of not being cranky anymore
I do agree partially with your statement. But (as always) it's a little more complicated.
BambooLab was known for their walled garden approach and that they have apple as their idol. So in that sense, people buying it, did so oftentimes willingly and therefore enabled the company to pull these stunts. I'm not blaming the people for going with the most comfortable solution, but that's usually what you get
I do that sometimes, but only if the person in front of me is driving slower than my cruise control. then i overtake them, during which they obviously have to speed up and when i go back to cruise control speed now I'm the slow one
I had a similar approach until recently: 100€/year +100€, mostly 300-400€ phones for about 4-5 years (so not that many). But my last phone was 500€ and i doubt I'll use it for 6 years, so let's see
How do those networks compare for you? I've considered both but in my area meshtastic seems to have a bigger community

Nope, works absolutely fine with cable as well. Not sure how it was in the past, but I'm not particularly missing any feature

Same for phones. But that's the norm unfortunately
That's solved now that PayPal (and others?) start including this functionality into their mobile apps. No card reader required anymore

It's funny how the translation almost always goes back to front

I'm sure it gets better now that the nazi party got relative majority in the elections /s
Can only hope nobody wants to form a coalition with them
Physical for your main contract, esim for traveling
