Well, enforcement is a form of treatment - just not the form some might want. We're trying the other way and failing right now. Perhaps we should figure out why...

On it's surface it seems to have worked better than these experiments. Otherwise the experiments would not be getting rolled back... There's very few if any fans of what played out in Portland, for instance. Overt drug usage explo

Forgive my ignorance, but why does anyone care what the UN thinks about this subject? They cannot, and will not do anything about anything anyway...

Because then you wouldn't be nearly as outraged by the "data" of course!

Well, 60Ghz might be licensed spectrum. I'm not sure beyond 5 and 2.4Ghz - been a while since I followed the WISP space. That is a lot of Gbps over the air, either way! Ubiquiti has had impressive WISP kit for as long as I can remember

How did it cut your server costs - increased performance and therefore reduced load? Bun looks quite promising, but I've heard mixed feedback on it being a "drop in" replacement of node. Any experience with that aspect?

I have yet to see a 5G home internet solution that's actually useful. It seems to be a "budget" internet option more than a viable alternative to most other solutions. Latency and speed are slow, and some of the providers mes

What kind of equipment are you using? Have you realigned it recently? You can push gigabit[1] ptp over the air these days for pretty cheap. Starlink seems to top out around 200Mbps in the best case. [1] https://store.ui.com/

I'm not the parent - but Carmack has curated a history of being very wrong about VR and it's potential. Practically none of his predictions since joining Oculus/Meta have become reality - and probably never will. He's at

And vastly slower speeds... Starlink is a replacement for dial-up, satellite, and in some cases legacy DSL- pretty much nothing else.

Sounds to me like the principal was a seasoned "New ERP" person desperate to control the sprawling scope-creep that inevitably dooms these efforts. I would also wager plenty of customization had been worked out prior to the system

I'd wager this had little or nothing to do with SilverBlue itself, and more had to do with your configuration. Did you experience this issue on another distro too?

Sure - but it would be ridiculous to expect the world to continue business as usual with a nation that has dedicated the past few decades to being as big of a nuisance as possible. Given our administration's current views on Iran, and

While I'm no fan of Oracle, the cost of this implementation is likely less absurd than it sounds on it's face. Rarely are ERP systems implemented at this scale without a lot of ad-hoc customization. I do mean a lot of customiz

This is almost always implemented using direct placement of the cursor, not via a literal CR char/command. CR is literally useless, except for being artificially required in some windows text editors.

Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based). The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root
