Longer - fifteen, closer to twenty years. It took this long for there to be one or two companies that they could be sure wouldn’t just cut and run (especially given how cutthroat the aerospace industry is).
Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.

Conventionally Point Nemo is the target.
SpaceX’s track record for orbital insertion definitely had something to do with that. When last I knew, N-G didn’t have its own launch facilities (that might’ve changed in the last few years but I doubt it).
Probably jet lagged, too. A lot of pre-prods are worked on during the flight home from a conference and after one gets home when they can’t sleep.
Also, they have to follow Swiss law if they want to stay in business.
Hardware in cars, like hardware in computers drifts in configuration over manufacturing time. Some cars from a manufacturer might have some granularity of tracking that earlier units off the line didn’t. Toyota does this with their Camry hybrids, for example.
I’ve had this happen before on some weird systems. Unplugging and replugging the keyboard woke the keyboard back up.
Trying to kill the Internet Archive would set just the precedent publishers want to kill community libraries.
I’d be surprised if the big publishers didn’t try setting up their own pay-for-access libraries in a few years.
If it won’t do more harm than good, nobody would try to do it.
I don’t know about “good” but it works once in a while.
I’ve been saying, Microsoft hired Poettering to thank him for fucking up Linux so much with systemd.
I was going to mention Bookstack also.
That would be far too helpful.
Check out Slackware. There is still a 32-bit version that is said to work on older Pentium-class machines.
Companies are trying to go back to the time when they got popped and told nobody.
That’s one of the reasons why uploads to the Archive have torrents.
Now if they’d just fix the damn tracker…
They have had a plan for it, from the very beginning. Big-budget space projects like ISS don’t get anywhere without a wrap-up plan. ISS is in LEO, and its mass contraindicates moving it into a graveyard orbit. Conventionally, stuff in LEO gets de-orbited; same thing happened with Skylab in '79.
