Using this to host static websites is more or less a "nice to have" for me. The more important thing is that I can now freely create S3 buckets that are always reachable as `https://<bucketName>.s3.homelab.jhw` over the standard port 443, which is called "Virtual-hosted–style requests" in S3 lingo [1]. So all S3 traffic in my home network is encrypted and it JustWorks™ the way many applications expect it to work :)

This also means that buying a used EV is perfectly fine. If the used car is „younger“ than 5-7 years, the battery will be fine for years to come.
„How long do EV batteries last?
The average lifespan of EV batteries will be around 13 years or more based on observed degradation rates.“
(almost all replies go off on whataboutisms and pet peeves that are unrelated, so I will not waste my time on discussing them, my point is simple and clear, in my opinion, so it can stand on its own)
IMHO (In My Humble Opinion): It shouldn't be "Getting of US-Tech", it should be "Getting of proprietary tech".
Open Source and Free software, open standards, supported by local experts that are part of the global community — that's the way to #DigitalSovereignty. Many have already chosen that path, so the current push is more of an accelerator, a catalyst, not a radical change. The difference between Revolution and Evolution is just one single letter :)
TL;DR Most EV batteries will last longer than the cars they’re in. Battery degradation is at better (meaning: lower) rates than expected. Slow charging is better. Drive EV and don’t worry about your battery.
„Our 2025 analysis of over 22,700 electric vehicles, covering 21 different vehicle models, confirms that overall, modern EV batteries are robust and built to last beyond a typical vehicle’s service life.“
Continuing my exploration of using garage S3 storage in my homelab [1], I managed to do a lot of things today. I can now use the certbot dns01 challenge on my own step-ca based Certificate Authority to generate wildcard certificates for my homelab and reconfigured nginx to reverse proxy web pages, straight from S3 buckets as https://<BucketName>.web.homelab.jhw. Yay! This will be explained in Part 3.
