I was like 6 when my grandmom suggested we rent The Amityville Horror. I slept with the lights on for a week.
I don't think it would bother me now if I rewatched it but I've also never wanted to rewatch it.. I guess take that for what's it's worth.
Someone call the ICC. This is a crime against humanity.
It is possible to build trains/stations in lightly populated areas and have modern building codes in place to encourage modern, efficient towns be developed around them.
China took it to an extreme in one situation but it's entirely possible on smaller scales.
A project that allows a full installed-in-place Linux installation with grub and all, no USB drive required.
This could be possible today. A combination of PXE booting and FAI would be enough. I think you'd just need to work out a way for PXE to work over the public Internet. Otherwise you'd need to have the image downloaded already and have it available via web server to be accessible from the booting machine. Years ago I used iPXE and it was really nice. Haven't used it in a loooong time.
Also, Talos is doing some really interesting install processes as well. Basically you boot a small (~80mb) image, it exposes a network port, and you send it a machine configuration manifest. It all runs in memory until the configuration instructions are sent, then it installs. There isn't even an option to install it locally because local auth is not allowed and ssh is not included. You must do it over the network. Talos is all kubernetes so might not be what you're looking for but it's an interesting approach.

Out of curiosity, what country is this? That seems like a really low number.. Working full time you would have 760 hours in less than 6 months.
During covid, when I had way too much time on my hands, I got this idea for a desk that I've never had the time, space, or tools to build..
Basically it would have modular control panel type things that could be added to the desk. Think of things like mounted USB ports or power outlets or volume knobs for speakers, light switches, etc.. There would be one movable block for each control device. They could basically function as short extension cables to whatever cable management system you have on the desk. If you had recessed metal rails in a channel in the desk you could add some rare earth magnets to each block for stability. It would just create some visual consistency, clean up your desk space, and give a lot of customization at the same time.
Here is a quick mockup sketch I did at the time.
Figured this would be one of the responses. Thanks. I don't interact with node very often. I assumed there was a better option but wasn't sure which.. This is just the first result.
I always rolled my own Debian servers on microitx boards. I found a cheap synology a few years ago though and gave it a shot.. I'm a convert for sure. They fully live up to the hype and are absolutely worth the price.
Agreed. I left just shy of 7 years ago. It's got to the point where American problems don't feel like my problems anymore. To say I have given up would be a stretch.. I still follow the news and vote because I want to do whatever little I can to help the people I care about who still live there. It's otherwise hard to stay engaged when it feels so bleak.
Talking to the girlfriend, we kinda both agree that we would never move there full time.. At most maybe a 1 month vacation. Even from "third world" countries I feel like I live a better life than most of the people I have left behind. It kinda breaks my heart knowing they could do so much better. Oh well.
I was thinking like a heart healthy, ad council type thing that was put on cereal boxes.
I think this is what I was thinking of.

What software are you using that is keeping you on windows?
FWIW, the last version of windows I've run was WinME circa 2001ish.. I've been on Linux since '99 or so. You can certainly get by for day to day stuff. The only thing holding you back is going to be pretty niche.
