Depending on what is being done; it would seem like a 25-50hp electrical system with a little 5-10kw diesel generator would work great. You're almost never running these things at truly 100% duty cycle, so you just need a way to bank the power.

Edison Motors up in Canida is going this with OTR trucks for the logging industry.

Why aren't they distributing things via i2p or something like it instead of clearnet?

That's what I'm also always asking myself. Same thing with NexusSTC

This is a really good way to side step certain kinds of Apple MFI. "I'm not a custom super widget?! I'm an ethernet adapter!!"

How does this work if you don't get mail service at your physical address? (PO box service only)

I don't know how Nextdoor does it, but if you're an entity where establishing physical location is important you can courier letters to pretty much anywhere. (At some multiples higher cost than regular mail service.)

I have sub 1year old enterprise CPUs in my home lab. Disabling TPM is the first thing I do on bring up. Assuming that's a hard requirement, how do I install w11?

We just did this in the States. Family of 5 with a malamute that likes to road trip to places and do active things (read as, we need luggage space). In the "not crazy expensive" range was some mini vans, and suburban sized vehicles. Ended up with a Ford excursion max.

i still kind of miss mercurial.

You don't need to, Jujutsu[1] gives you most of mercurial with some additional stuff. And relevant for this subthread, Tangled appears to work with it[2].

Now we just need to drop the phone number requirements and signal would be "done" for all practical purposes

Phone numbers aren't required now. But there are flaws in Signal. Your phone usage can be tracked in high resolution through constant pinging of malformed status messages. I can't find the paper right now but researchers found that they could track their own data about when the phone was on, unlocked, and had Signal on the screen. That can be correlated between users, to see who is talking to who. It can be used to try to ambush you while the phone is unlocked. You don't even have to have a connection to the spies, if I remember right. Signal devs have done nothing about this issue since being notified like a year ago.

> Phone numbers aren't required now.

Signal still requires a phone number for registration.

They also require running the app on a "real phone" for registration. Most emulators put you in captcha hell

Damn, what a shame... Another vote for Session, I guess. Idk what flaws that one has but it seems to be the leading alternative to Signal.

Unfortunately...

For very limited practical purposes. Others would include proper multi device support
