The honest answer is in the US all doorbells are powered by simple 24VAC transformers that burn 6–7 watts just being powered up, forever, for decades. This annoyed me plus I wanted a fun bell so I wired up a pi to use a modern, efficient 24VDC power supy to ring the bell and it gets turned on by the pi only when its needed so now my idle wattage is more like 0.25W.
My doorbell is a raspberry pi that uses webhooks to send me messages on my privately hosted chat server and also rings a physical bell built in 1900. Do I win for the most simple high tech doorbell?
Adding to this, in the states the Starbucks instant coffee is shockingly good. Its not the horrible instant our grandparents tolerated. I won't drink it regularly but in a rush its perfectly acceptable.
How about we add a tax to tires that scales exponentially with their width? Wide sports car tires and bro-dozer pickup trucks with flashy rims will be motivated to use a setup with less drag/friction for the sake of performance/vanity.
I bought a large MadeIn griddle for my induction stove and I have buyers remorse. Its just too thin, too little thermal conduction. It merely cooks in a circle directly over the two coils and no where else. Its bad even with a long pre-heat.
Ive been really happy with Tplink omada stuff. I have the oc200 controller that you log into to commission and centrally monitor and configure all your hardware. I'm a little eccentric and have 4 switches and I think six APs on this point and it makes managing it all very easy and graphical.
I have fond childhood memories of sleeping under a sheet on a cot outside in Greece on a small island my family is from. In the last 15 years someone brought mosquitoes to the island and its insufferable because no one understands their breeding habits and always leave water troughs and tanks open for breeding. Its really rough in the winter rainy season.
I'm in a rush but ive put Ethernet cards in both slots of my optiplex 3080 m.2 slots. The top right slot is vanilla and 4xpcie lanes,full speed. The bottom left is A+e keying and only 1x lane which is enough for 2.5gig Ethernet. This is ultimately what i used. For my prfesene box I added a second card, a 2 port Ethernet card to the top right m.2 slot and made it a four port beast.
On the flip side i worry everyday folks, who aren't the real problem, shame themselves everyday for living just because they're self aware, when the actuall problem makers are oblivious to their own behaviors and won't change.
I don't think people going on holiday are the problem. Its the power users, a small percent that just fly too much like its taking the train. I have a rich family member that has three houses around the US and they split their time between them all. Often flying 3 times a month, perpetually. Its a horrific and wasteful lifestyle.
Oh that's a silly question. Why not?

Yep, with curl because I have OliveTin setup to accept requests to ring the bell from other pis or myself if I feel the need via the web GUI.

I'm confident there are no environmental implications.
I dont fence, I electic fence. Deer get zapped and learn to fear thin shiny wires. Its worked very well for me for many years.
Similar, but VPN to parents house and btrbk to backup my brtfs snapshots and disks.

My Greek grandmother just loved them raw, sliced thin with salt and lemon juice.

Ok sorry its been a busy day but here are the things I ordered and all work:
This one adds two ports, uses the M keyed slot, top right. I do not recommend this one because there is no way to mount the ports. You'll have to zip tie it like I did. Very sloppy.
This one is what I'd recommend, it will take full use of that 1xPCIe 3.0 lane and fits the A+E slot. The RJ45 will screw nicely into the back of the chassis. FYI this is not EXACTLY what I bought but looks pretty much the same. If you want to use this with pfsense you might consider an Intel based chipset but i used Realtek fine on my setup.
Godspeed!

Well I read the entire website. Extremely well done and interesting.
Audible noise or pollution from the engines and tire/brake dust?
Damn you're right its ubiquitous now

I watched this without sound and knew exactly what it was.
