The cost to maintain the servers to send extremely small packets of data to instruct the car for the entire fleet of cars they sold could be less than $100/m.

Set up Tautulli and use the notification agent feature. Set up one notification on “Play start” to call a shell script that uses this command to set the alternative speed limits.

Set up a second agent to listen for “Play stop” and set the condition to be “Streams” equal to zero, so when the last active stream ends you reenable full speed.

Edit: Wait someone else posted this and it seems easier and better documented https://github.com/fabricionaweb/qbit-toggle-speed

Thanks. This has potential and would force me to finally learn Ruby if I want to tweak it.

Yes, the “Request Archive” method may be the “don’t over engineer this stupid” option I go with.

You can do this with Tailscale. Added plus is you can then use Tailscale on you phone to access your pihole for DNS when on the go.

Right, this is exactly what I was saying. Plausible deniability because you know you’re not going to be able to fight to protect the data when they come knocking.

If your concern for wanting to self host is that you’re concerned your government might attempt to access that data, then you should also assume they could get a warrant for that data and force you to decrypt it if it were encrypted at rest on a machine in your home.

Take a look at Tailscale. You can probably do what you want using that and basically any router out there since it’s zero-config in the router, you’re hardware independent.

Can you elaborate? Any links you can point to that explains more? I’ve always wondered how that all worked. Seems like there way more human involvement than there probably should be for something which seems like it should be as simple as sending an RPC…

Elden Ring. I had never played a FromSoft game before so I really had no idea what I was getting into. I played through it seven times with my main character, got the platinum trophy, and then spun up a new character on my sons playstation account to platinum it for him as well.

Definitely got value for my money on that purchase.
