Proxmox is a gem that deserves far more recognition. In light of vmware actions specially. There are many industrial companies with distributed manufacturing outputs that do not need to run many 00's of servers/VM/containers on site that would benefit substantially from jumping boat into proxmox.

When you ROAM, you traffic abroad is routed to your home country ( for security reasons among other things) and then off to the internet from there. You can check that your public IP, when roaming, is an IP from your cellco.....unsure if there are any changes with 5G though.
You are not bypassing any firewall as your traffic is actually happening at home. If you access local sites, traffic is coming from home.
Not home country, home PLMN(~=carrier). IIRC there were changes in 4G/LTE that lets the GW be at visiting carriers.
I'm suspecting that that post-4G architecture is just formalization of actual commercial deployment. Latency for roaming data was long inconsistent with the 3G diagrams, and exorbitant roaming fees that would be consistent with the diagrams also started rapidly subsiding from late 3G era.
I always thought nuclear was an all or nothing. Massive thermal inertia and hours days? to fully come online from cold start. Even if it is not coming up form cold start, this type of power balancing is new to me.
This should kill combined cycle role in the electricity mix to counterbalance renewables swings ? am I missing something ?
France’s nuclear fleet performs load following but it is harder on the steam mechanicals requiring more frequent maintenance. The question is if this operating model is more cost efficient versus lithium and sodium battery storage at scale for buffering generation and load, with battery storage around $52/kWh for fully integrated systems currently (LFP chemistry). They're constantly burning ~1GW of fossil gas that could potentially be replaced with grid forming battery storage, assuming nuclear output is increased.
Besides domestic battery storage, an additional challenge is that they’re transmission constrained and there is too much nuclear and renewables and insufficient battery storage for domestic demand. Additional inteconnector capacity is coming online to Ireland in 2026 though (Celtic Interconnector, 700MW HVDC submarine cable).
We are running the above survey to better target our new product.
We want to analyze many facets of “the need”. From Clayton Christensen’s “what do we hire this stuff for”, to sensibilities around topics that influence our selection of media or willingness and reasons to pay for content.
Moving from a paradigm of mostly free ( or rather I haven’t got a clue of how am I paying for this but the deal seems good ) to I make a choice as to what is valuable for me, I understand this is the hard work of somebody and it deserves to be compensated if I want it to be to the standards I expect.
It is 73 questions. If you think that is going to be exhausting , thanks for reading up to here. No need to continue. We value your time.
Understanding the right levers is paramount for us. It ain’t easy or we ain’t smart enough without so many questions.
Currently 85% of respondents are male...it’s totally unbalanced. I wish some ladies had the opportunity and willingness to fill out the survey.
It is in 5 languages. Choose wisely. There is probably at least one that is right for you :-)
Many thanks to all of you who took the time to read to this point.
For those who will take the survey to the end, may the fairies bless you.
I presented a similar project to YC Winter 2020. A project a friend of mine and me were working on.
Good move from YC to reject us.... 10M,USD backed by NYT and started already 12 months ahead of us....need to improve my google skills.
I love the concept, what can I say. I want to pay for the services/content I get. However I am in no way willing to sell my soul to a bunch of marketeers.
The model is broken, trying to move a printed press model to the web. A new model is required.
Now, coming form the other side of the pond, I have to say that our approach was substantially more privacy minded. This is the Aquiles heel of the proposal on my perspective.
Unfortunately there is no privacy laws in the US or they are simply rendered void by anybody pretending to wear anything better than a boy scout badge. An absolute joke. Maybe California sets the tone for a change.
I wish they succeed. When theinquirer.net closed last year, I doubled down on taking the idea forward. I wish I could have been compensating them over these years and they would be still in business.
