I think you are thinking of coax (cable) and not FTTH. Fiber has a much wider frequency range and one tends to think in wavelength terms and not frequency. And rarely is more than two wavelengths used for connecting customers (leaving most

Amazon, GCP, etc. transit are completely disconnected from reality. Those sub-$0.5/Mbps you can probably get in most big metros across the US and Europe if the connection point is on-net for the ISP in question. And if you are a reside

HE doesn't charge for peering though. The complaint was that HE was leaking peer routes to other peers per default, which is normally only done if you are a customer (which can be nice if you want this, but can lead to sub-optimal rout

Isn't it quite difficult to get a carry permit for a gun in Switzerland though? Making it not that likely that a random citizen the police officer encounters will actually have a loaded gun.

You are forgetting that so far qt is dual-licensed under GPL and commercial license so far. And there are a lot of FOSS projects that happen to use qt under the GPL so far. And for those projects there really is no other option than forking

That sounds like a real fun customer group (which I personally would try to get rid of asap). And open source vs. closed source doesn't really drastically change anything here, since you could just charge support per installation (and

This doesn't make much sense.. the FOSS clones also exist on Windows and OSX. And lots of Windows software isn't available on OSX either (and vice versa).. How are you gonna blame that on the FOSS community?

I don't see how those two are connected in any way. There exists plenty of proprietary software for linux as well - it's not like there is anything on the linux desktop platform that prevents this from existing?

Donate button is not the only option though. You don't have to publicly host binaries or sourcecode for your product - only make them available after payment (ardour for example requires payment to access pre-built binaries). And offer

Github pages still has no ipv6 support though. Either neocities, netlify or random web hosting company are better options than this imho. Granted one can also fix this problem by sticking a caching CDN with ipv6-support in front.

If you don't care about portability at all.. (regardless if it's just within linux or to *BSD). And like I already mentioned in my previous post.. there are other alternatives around than just SysV-init..

Archlinux had their own non-sysvinit system (which went away in favor of systemd) as does voidlinux (runit based) and alpine (OpenRC) today. The problem is less the init system itself, but applications that depend on a specific init system

That's not actually true. The pins mate on the side and have quite a bit of play when they make contact (otherwise the connection would be quite unreliable and might even be a fire-hazard). The insulation is _not_ an extra safety featu

The sockets are however not recessed making them less safe than type E and F as it now becomes possible touch the the live conductor if the insulation at the base is damaged (or is completely absent for some cheaper cables).
