I would say "only", but it is damned harder if one do not already have some fixed installation one can exploit. In Norway the fastest growing deployments of fiber is done by regional power companies in cooperation with a services

Google suck at doing anything that do not support "push to prod" antics. The company at its core is a child of the web, and thus it struggles to manage anything that can't have a change/fix/AB-test pushed out on a w

Sadly while he may be running the kernel development quite well, he defends some serious idiocies when it comes to his dive log software Subsurface. Such as defending the bundling of modified libs, thus making it hard (if not impossible) to
