Yes, which is exactly what I'm stating. Showing a forcibly non-upscaled video (or one where you've manually tweaked the upscaling for that matter) is likely not what you want because there are no circumstances where that is what you'd watch on that particular screen. It could perhaps work as an example of how that video would look if you had a 1080p monitor of the same size instead of the 4k one you have, since it scales in a linear fashion, a pixel of 1080p is 4 pixels in a square on a 4k screen. But that's likely not what you want to test. Instead the thing you do want to test is "does it matter if I download X content in 1080p or 4k? How big is the difference really?" And if that is the question you need to let it upscale.

And no helm(et) or lifejacket in sight... Looks like a spectacularly dumb way to die given all the jagged rocks.
Not really possible. A 1080p video smashed into a 4k container (so it can actually represent the 4k part) would look worse than a true 1080p video file since that would get up scaled by your TV or monitor in most situations.
Best comparison would be making a playlist of the same video first in 1080p and then 4k.
Tell them to move to yubikey or similar hardware key which is far more secure than any password policy will ever be and vastly more user friendly. Only downside is the intense shame if you manage to lose it.
The key should stick with the user thus not be stored with the computer when not in use. The key isn't harmless of course but it takes a very deliberate targeting and advance knowledge about what it goes to and how it can be used. It's also easy to remote revoke. If you're extra special paranoid you could of course store the key locked at a separate site if you want nuclear codes levels of security.
I'll add to the group saying things got better by 30. In my case having kids has helped me get my shit together and take better care of myself both physically and mentally.
Yeah interesting thought there actually. In absolute numbers I wager more people believe in mythical beings of some form today in Europe than the 1700s. But as a share of the total population it's going to be a lot lower, of course.
Wouldn't you be refunded for the original ticket purchase?
I think a VPS and moving to NetBird self hosted would be the simplest solution for you. $5 per month gives you a range of options and you can go even lower with things like yearly subscriptions. That way you get around the subdomain issue, you get a proper tunnel and can proxy whatever traffic you want into your home.
As for control scheme for your home automation you'll need to come up with something that fits you but I strongly advise against letting users into Home Assistant. You could build a simple web interface that interacts via API with HA, through Node-Red is super simple if it seems daunting to build the API.
If a RPi 4 is what you've got and that's it then I guess you're kinda stuck for the time being. Home Assistant is often quite lightweight if you're not doing something crazy so it runs well on even a RPi 3, same with NAS software for home use, it too works fine on a 3. If SBC is your style my recommendation is to setup an alert on whatever second hand sites operate in your area and pick up a cheap one to allow you to separate things and make the setup simpler.
That's one part of it, but the other is that there's no proper way to ensure you won't cause issues down the line and it makes the configuration unclean and harder to maintain.
It also makes your setup dependent on seemingly unrelated things. Like the certificate for the domain which is some completely different applications problem but will break your Home Assistant setup all the same. That dependency issue can be a nightmare to troubleshoot in some instances, especially when it comes to stuff like authentication. Try doing SSO towards two different applications running on different subpaths on the same domain...
I can't grasp your use case I feel, pretty much all your complaints seem... odd. To me at least.
First subdomain. I think HA is completely right that proxy with a subpath is basically an anti-pattern that just makes things worse for you and is always a bad idea (with very few exceptions).
As for your tunnel I don't know how you've set it up and I haven't used tailscale but them only allowing one domain sounds like a very arbitrary limit, is it something that costs money to add? I use NetBird which I selfhost on my VPS and from there tunnel into my much beefier home setup.
Then docker in HAOS. The proper way I feel of running HA is for sure HAOS, and also running it in its own VM / or on dedicated hardware. This because you will likely need to couple additional hardware like a stick providing support for more protocols like ZigBee or Matter. It really isn't a good solution for running all your self hosted stuff, and wasn't ever intended to be. Running Plex in HA for instance is just a plain bad idea, even if it can be done. As such the need for an external drive seems strange as well. If you need to interact with storage you should set up a NAS and share over SAMBA. All this to say that HA should be one VM/Device, your docker environment another VM.
As for authentication there are 10k plus contributors to Home Assistant yearly but very few bother to make authentication more streamlined. I would've loved OpenID/OAuth2 support natively but there are ways to do so with custom components and in the end I quite strongly feel that if the end-users of your smarthome setup (i.e. the wife and kids) need to login to Home Assistant then you've probably got more work to do. Remote controls which interact with HA handle the vast majority of manual interaction and I've dabbled with self-hosted voice interfaces for the more complex operations.
Sorry if this came across as writing you on the nose, that's not my intention. I just suspect you're making things harder for yourself and maybe have a strange idea around how to selfhost in general?
Well, as someone also self-hosting email I agree with his solutions but he paints a picture of how bad it is that I feel is a bit exaggerated. But then again I host for myself and my family, I suspect it gets a bit different when you have many users and send hundreds of mail per day.
Only one I've had trouble with it Microsoft, they're the strictest and you need to get some support from them to make it work reliably. Google has an automated service.
I'd say the problem isn't so much optimization as it is scaling. The FPS delta between low and ultra is just stupid small in many games nowadays. Before dropping to low would make the game look like shit sure but it would also run on 5+ year old hardware. Now you get like 10 FPS+ and still slog around under 60 fps on 2-3 year old 6-series cards (X060/X600). Sure some games are CPU bound as well but that's less common.
Really what needs to happen is devs need to add a potato mode so we can at least play the game.
I'll however say that the source of the problem is of course consoles. On them settings are rather meaningless so it's only for the PC market you need them and given how many gaming PCs outperform consoles and PC gamers generally expect the PC version to look better it's no wonder that's where they put their focus and effort. But a proper low setting that actually scales shouldn't be too hard to achieve.
