Starlink is a god send for my hometown in West Virginia. Current internet service there is provided by Frontier Communications. They offer "advertised" speeds of 6 Mbps but for years my parents internet came in around 1 or 2 on a

If you increase or decrease the pay of the teachers, I would expect to see an outcome on student educations over the long term. For example, if District X pays better than neighboring district Z, District X will most likely have greater cha

Sorry if I misunderstood the question, sounds like you are asking if there are some common tools that do auth outside of the application before passing traffic back. Google IAP is a big one, and Cloudflare Access can let you do similar thin

Sorry to hear about your problem, a quick recommendation would be to keep the temporary DNS name you bought and simply redirect to your previous name once you have the issue resolved (or vice versa if the branding is less important to you.)

This isn't really a "practical use for blockchain tech". Rather it's just a positive way to use the side-effect that blockchain tech requires computing components that generate a lot of heat. Ultimately the heat output h

I've worked for plenty of places that facilitate alcohol during work hours. For 99% of people that work there they enjoy a beer after lunch while they knock out some evening work or internal meetings, or just choose not to participate.

Binaries would be nice, but the docker solution is an easy win for most platforms. If you don't use it I would highly recommend giving it a shot. In general it makes trying out or playing with new tools really easy.
