Yeh, why not make billing able to carry ages verification?
Banks have to verify their customers. They (mostly) have a history of handling data well, it's in their interest/requirement to continue doing that.
The banking sector is well regulated compared to software/startups.

That can remove a large amount of service providers suddenly needing age verification. Just rely on the service purchase to verify it

Nah, it's never a DNS problem.

All official reporting indicates a well mannered race between candidates.
The correct and best leader has been chosen fairly by all citizens.
And all opponents now also agree, as do their voters.

"snorkel lenses" look ridiculous on large projectors.

Goes in the front like a normal lens, shoots backwards like a cursed lens.

The problem with short-throw lenses is that they will exacerbate any geometry issues. So aligning them is hard. And ANY tiny little non-planer issue with the screen surface gets massively multiplied.
You can get away with a lot of issues using long lenses. Short lenses are a pain.

ETA:
Linked is a 0.35 ratio lense.
So for every 0.35m from the screen, it will project a 1m wide screen.
0.7m away? 2m screen. 1.25m away? 5m wide screen.
3.5m away? 10m wide screen.

Nope, it's all DC. The voltage still alternates. They have to run alternating loads to compensate.

It's actually Teams Copilot for Office now

So Russia is using point-to-point radio.

Musk runs a service that gives internet everywhere and has the ability to pinpoint the ground access point precisely, as well as requiring a billing account to access.
You can't use starlink without the service provider knowing.

You can use cheap, 2nd hand, outdated, whatever network equipment to create your own local network without anyone knowing. It can be entirely airgapped and still work.

Unifi/Ubiquiti point to point radio kit is extremely easy to get hold of an can be used entirely airgapped (because it's on the border of pro & consumer level kit).
That's like saying "Russia is using ethernet cables" or "Russia found to be using intel NICs" or "Russia found to be using Mellanox SFP modules".
That can't be restricted.

The ability to tune in a point to point wireless network and maintain that ALL the way to the frontline takes skills. Any mid station can be targeted and isolate a bunch of frontline networks. Running multipath redundancy links is a significant challenge.

The ability to drop something on the ground and have instant internet access anywhere (starlink) is not a skill. It's an enabler, and musk enabled.

The person in the middle would be supporting twice the weight of the person over the hole, and they would have to do it twice.
The person over the hole and the person not over the hole just has to hang on.

When the middle person is over the hole, the people at each end support half the weight of the person over the hole.

The length of the pole doesn't matter, as long as the person in the middle is in the middle of the pole and that the pole is more than twice the length of the hole.
If the pole was significantly long enough, then the force on the middle person could be reduced significantly, but it will always be more than the weight of 1 person.

Great, use cloudflare or any number of other ddos mitigation services. Or get a larger peering connection and eat the ddos.

It doesn't.
Have you ever been ddos'd? I haven't.
I imagine if it happens, I'll just switch off the VM.
If it's actually a problem, then I'd see what the VM hosting company recommends. Ultimately they will have something in place so that if my VM gets targeted they can isolate it.
My sites get denied service. Oh well.

I've never had anything get so popular that I actually need the tooling that cloudflare offers. I've never had anything targeted in a way that cloudflare would protect against.

If that is actually a vector in your security and reliability analysis, then yeh. It's probably the right tool for it.
And there are other competitors than just cloudflare if you actually need the protection, which should each be considered.

And a VPS and any number of tunneling systems for the remote reverse proxy.
Rathole is my goto. But SSH forwarding, wireguard... There's plenty, even ones that will entirely manage the reverse proxy on the VPS.

Yeh, we need c++ss
