Just want to give props to OP for playing the role of host/MC very well.

Any recommendations on cameras that work well local-only/don't seem to make peculiar DNS requests?
If I ever get around to installing cameras I'll have them on their own, no-internet VLAN, but would prefer having well-behaved devices.
Voting is too damn hard in the US.
It's too damn hard in certain states.
I'm in California, and am signed up for vote by mail, which anyone can do. Ballot gets mailed to me well in advance, I can take my time filling it out and researching down ballot issues, and plop it in a mailbox when I'm done.
It's criminal to me that this isn't the norm.
I picked up an old HP LaserJet (with the Ethernet option) for free during grad school. It was a great printer
good CUPS/Linux support, reliable, cheap 3rd party toner.
It's sad how the mighty have fallen. Would never recommend one for someone today.
Yeah, you can also find "crystal radio" kits
radio receivers that use only the received RF to produce sound (no external power source).
How about we give parents one extra vote per child.
But they have to wait 18 years to use it.
And they can't directly use it, it's more that they get a delegate of sorts.
And this delegate
let's call them, I dunno, ~~their kid~~ "offspring voter"
isn't legally bound to vote one way or another.
And how about this person votes in a manner that in some way reflects how they were raised, and their worldy experiences
possibly voting exactly as the parents would, or possibly exactly opposite, or anywhere in between.
Not sure if you're trying for eugenics, but it certainly sounds like you are.
Incentivizing sterilization probably means that marginalized groups will preferentially take advantage of it (well-off people can already take long vacations, etc.). So now we have a disproportionately sterile lower class, while the upper class can have kids as they see fit.
Don't get me wrong, overpopulation is a real thing. But e.g. Japan's declining birth rate doesn't seem particularly happy, and I'm not sure government sponsored sterilization bribery is great either...
While the whole concept of a walled city can be a little exclusionary and militaristic, gosh if they aren't pretty.
Property can take a while to close
offer to title in under 30 days is on the quick side.
Of course, you could probably close very fast if you offered 100M cash on a 10M property...
What's you network setup? Is there any chance that it's connecting through he Internet instead of locally? For example: JF proxies through a VPS, and you're connected to the VPS address instead of the local address of the server?
My favorite SMBC Venn joke leaves the diagram to the imagination: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?db=comics&id=1917#comic
Thanks! That sounds like a good option. Mostly would want to avoid something that's flooding the network with DNS requests
a few attempts at phoning home now and then are, like you say, probably inevitable.
