I was enrolled in community college for computer science around '08-'09. I completed Visual Basic and C++ intro courses in before switching to mechanical engineering, which is now my field of employment. I built a Windows Media Center HTPC with a tuner card during my community college years. That HTPC evolved over time, and eventually Microsoft killed WMC. I tried Plex TV recording, but that sucked balls compared to WMC. The latest incarnation of that computer runs TrueNAS, and I’m not really doing much with it beyond self-hosting media, but I have a Mint VM installed and set up for a Valheim dedicated server in anticipation of the 1.0 release next month. I might eventually move Home Assistant off a Pi into my TrueNAS, but it hasn’t been high-priority.

I’d say your list is a bit too short. Some more considerations (not comprehensive):

• Construction noise and seismic limits (nearby neighborhoods have been disturbed and experienced damage from blasting operations)
• Operating noise limits (ban on-site gas turbine generation, limit noise levels from cooling towers)
• Limit light pollution

Edit:

• Job protections and guarantees for workers displaced by automation
