I have noticed that not one of them is compatible with the other. I generated shares using `ssss` (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/ssss-split....), and couldn't combine them on any of the three sites linked. That is a downside, isn't it? Do you know of a way to bypass that hurdle, other than packing resources together with the shares?

Not to nickpick, but it seems GitHub centric. Is there a way it could be used simply with git (running on a VPS, on the user space, that is, accessed via SSH)?

Is there a client that needs to be used to be able to receive files this way? I tried the dedicated QR reader on my iPhone, and the Camera app, and couldn’t get it to assemble the chunks. It will show the encodings one after the other, but nothing else.

> Today we announced our Q3 FY26 earnings with record revenue of $15.8 billion, up 12 percent year over year, and double-digit top and bottom-line growth. The ELT and I could not be prouder of the growth you have all delivered for Cisco.

Great! A successful company, right? Ah, but then:

> we are making changes today that will result in the reduction of our overall workforce in Q4 by fewer than 4,000 jobs, representing less than 5 percent of our total employee base.

I wouldn't have put those two together so close, nor in the same announcement.

Why not Ubuntu?

Where would Prodigy, CompuServ, eWorld, MSN, and the like would fit in? Together with AOL?

Is there a way to store configuration/data of applications running on a Bhatti VM on the host, ala Docker volumes?

The main drawback I saw on jails is that they are FreeBSD. The owner doesn’t mention, and I have not researched it, but can you run any Linux distribution in a FreeBSD jail?

If everything vanishes, why to force the creation of accounts?
