So looks like this will be at the ISP level, so should be able to be circumvented easily with VPNs.

The scary part is it's likely to lead to a lockdown on VPNs in the future.

It drives my crazy that in 2025 ADSB is still not mandatory for all aircraft. I get there's old timers flying their tail wheels from the 1950s that don't have any electrical components, but this would massively improve GA safety.

Another one is multiplex radio, again, it's 2025, the technology is there. Why are we still seeing so many blocked communications during emergencies in busy airspaces?

How does this affect FAANGs?

I use ESXi and run a separate master node and a separate worker node. There's around ~12 services running in the worker node, mostly things related to media. I maintain a workbook for how I bring up a new node and how I upgrade the cluster, which are the normal operations I've had to do in the past. For example, in the past I had too little storage allocated to the worker node and it was easier to bring up a new one than to edit the existing one.

I use dynamic volumes that use NFS on my NAS for any data that needs to be persisted across pod restarts. This works surprisingly well. I use nfs-client-provisioner with helm.

I also use a combination of MetalLB, an nginx ingress controller, and a BIND service so I can point the DNS on my laptop to the BIND server and I can access all my services using DNS instead of IPs.

"Gitmo" didn't open until 2002

Residents will be mostly the ones paying these costs. Residents are not exempted.

And the whole point of this tax is to fund the most mismanaged organization in NYC -- the MTA.

you mean incursion

> - I can't upload random video to the netflix, and I have a certain expectation regarding content there

That's a bug, not a feature. You're basically restricted to the tastes of Netflix's buyers.

> - 99% of videos on youtube are not something I would pay for or expected to be paid for uploading

Then you're watching the wrong videos. Most of the videos that I and my friends watch are high quality, entertaining, and informative. Their creators usually have Patreons making five figures monthly.

> - I can pay for youtube subscription and would still get a lot of advertisement, because I dared to turn SponsorBlock off. Creators have a very good reason to use this type of ads, and youtube have all responsibility of not providing solutions for this.

You can easily skip these, not sure what the issue is here.

> - I can pay for HBO max and watch Sopranos. On youtube I can pay and content of interest could be deleted next second

Guessing you started streaming only recently, since Netflix/Hulu/HBO all change their inventory frequently due to licensing. It wasn't long ago that you could watch Sopranos on Amazon.

> - I have no idea if my favourite creator was demonetised for DMCA spam by youtube, but I certainly know they are not treated as equal partners in this business in many ways.

This isn't a problem with YouTube, it's a problem with the US legal system.

> - Ultimately I pay for content, and subscription guarantees some kind of investment from the platform in acquiring or producing it. Not true for youtube.

This is your best one, YouTube has created tons of wealth for creators and has cut out tons of the usual Hollywood intermediaries. Additionally, there has never been a greater investment made on storing and distributing video like the one Google made on YouTube.
