They can rebrand, make it a lifestyle thing. Like how convection ovens got rebranded into airfryer.

I have the same observation. My guess: people aren't made for hapiness, but for the pursuit of hapiness. Quality of life has not been improving for most in EU, au contraire.

Utilities 50/50. Look at what renting a similar place costs, and halve of that.

What are the chances that the company servicing my annuity goes bankrupt?

Will depend on that company. Probably an insurance company?

With a guaranteed annuity growing at 2% year over year, it's your local inflation that you should be worried about.

If your annuity is denominated in USD, and your local currency differs, you should also worry about the currency conversion rate.

But, in the last decade, USD's relative worth has only grown compared to most major other currencies. A mercantillist US (tarrifs) will make foreign accessibility to USD harder, so I expect USD to further increase compared to other currencies.

I just remembered I started self hosting due to the old HAK5 youtube show, which I dearly miss.

What media do you enjoy regarding this topic?

 

I selfhost changedetection.io to get notifications when a webpage changes.

Most of the time, the build-in visual selector is all I need to select the parts of the page I want it to monitor.

Some of the time I need to write custom (CSS) query selectors.

Today I had an interesting case where both of those methods failed. The page (laposte.fr) uses webcomponents who write to shadowdom. Shadowdom isn't directly addressable by CSS or Xpath or ... filter.

The trick was to run some custom javascript, in the "browser steps" section:

document.body.innerHTML = document.querySelector("#shadowdom_parent_container").shadowRoot.textContent;

This replaces the document body with whatever text is inside the webcomponent. Now it's as simple as having the monitor watch for changes on the body tag.
