It would be about $5 Trillion dollars to connect all the small communities and rural areas of the USA and that would not actually get people from their homes to the store but it would be close enough …

When this data inevitably leaks I think it might be fun and curious to see what officials are taking what escorts to what private location for how long. AI could probably do a good job of teasing ap…

Ensure system does not have this information: loginctl show-user $USER 2>/dev/null
userdbctl user $USER --json=pretty 2>/dev/null | grep -i birth

Fans of games like Fortnite Wrong gamers. For ATC one would need the ultra-hard-mode "try-hard" gamers that know there is no such thing as "game over". The players that get o…

That's an issue in every state AFAIK. Too bad there isn't a simple concept like Super-Locking a deed so that either the owner of the deed or the person inheriting it has to show up in perso…

I've seriously considered the Librem. At the moment I have an ulefone armor with a really big battery and a very big bright LED flashlight for being in the wilderness though carrying a phone in …

I would not. If the modem was ever open source hardware it would never be permitted to attach to the major networks. There's always a catch. There is just too much collusion between wireless c…

Nothing. I barely trust open source after it's been in use for decades, reviewed by a myriad of pen-testers and battle hardened in the most hostile regions of the internet. I don't trust a…

A bit of evaporative cooling for a data center is going right back into the cycle of things, it isnt lost water. Agreed on everything you said, just adding that most data-centers are closed loop coo…
