I think you've got a point. My initial thought was that because this platform is decentralized and there's no Elon or Zuck at the helm, this isn't applicable. But as you pointed out, the vast majority of users don't interact or post anything, so that naturally amplifies the users who do, particularly if they have an agenda to push.
There are redundant systems on modern planes that can handle multiple failures. If they're saying it's fuel related my guess is dirty jet fuel. It would explain a stuck fuel valve. There's lots of ground crew checks before flight, and one is checking the fuel tanks for contamination. Just a speculation.
Yeah, I guess if they would have framed it as one month free it wouldn't sound as good. I remember using it and completely ignoring everything but the actual Internet. Trolling on AIM back in the day was pretty fun.
Hey, cool idea! I've also got a bunch of dockers and services running on a swarm on multiple devices. Like any good project, it's on it's like 3rd or 4th iteration now, having run into some roadblock each time. I structure most of my services into stacks. For example, I have a stack for proxy, www, monitoring, and of course the 'ol arr stack. Anyways, I keep all my notes on the stack compose yaml files that seems to work for me. I only interact with docker on the cli because portainer wants me to pay to use docker swarm. But because I'm so adept at docker on the cli, I have recently stumbled across gemini-cli. Dude, having that to help trouble shoot docker stuff is amazing. It's really good, but I'd keep it on a short leash.
The online college I'm taking classes at has a whole long ass disclaimer about how using AI is forbidden. I'm positive the professors are using AI to grade. Bulletized strength and weaknesses that just parrot back what I wrote.
Not sure how long ago you tried it. But my first attempt at an install back in 2021 was so much more complicated than when I did it again in 2024. It's been rock solid ever since. I use the docker all-in-one method, it's pretty straightforward. When I went back to college, I decided to use it to organize all my classwork, and it's perfect for that. I still prefer LibreOffice to author papers though.
That thing looks pretty cool. I think I remember Jeff Geerling video where he did something similar. The concept is cool, but that many NVME drives that close will get HOT without active cooling. The other things is I assume they would saturate the PCIe bus way faster than an x86 mobo.
I'm not hating tho, I'm kinda jealous. I have 3 PI 4s and 2 of them boot off a NVME via USB. The third one has a compute module 1 on it so it has dedicated non-volatile memory. I've been thinking about netboot. I use them as a docker swarm.
I didn't realize how temporary and disposable Starlink's satellites were. They incinerate 4 or 5 a day by de-orbiting them into the ozone. Here's a pretty good CNET article that talks about how they “dispose” of them. IDK, doesn't seem sustainable. They also mention the bandwidth gains are being diminished with the influx of new users, so their solution is more temporary satellites.
They're just following in the footsteps of Comcast. The FCC gave SpaceX/Starlink $885.5 million to provide rural broadband after they gave Comcast over $1 billion less than 5 years ago to do the same thing. Starlink actually works out there from what I understand, so I guess that's something.
