If I'm understanding you correctly, your argument is that if we don't become a multi-planetary species, extinction is assured. And we don't stand a chance of going multi-planetary if we don't take advantage of cheap foss

I believe the innovation is that the satellites sit in low earth orbit. Traditional internet satellites operate in geostationary orbit, which is around 35,000km above the surface of the earth. This was preferable because with only a handful

This is a list of things I hope come to be this decade. 1) The death of ads on the internet. Looking at advertisements becomes much less socially acceptable, and ad blockers become the norm. 2) A properly open source mobile OS takes over.

Would it be ethical/useful to overwhelm NATs with addr:port combinations to overflow the NAT's translation table? If NATs start breaking down, it might force upstream to start adopting IPv6. I could see a system of doing this as s

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning LXC[1]. I'm by no means a containers expert, but they claim to be more secure since they default to running as non-root. Unlike docker, I had no trouble installing LXC with apt, while with docker
