The Odroid C2 may fit the bill. I have two of them and am pretty impressed.

What truth? There is no spoon?

Need fuel to stay in place satellites do. When get too low they do, moved to the graveyard orbit they are.

FTFY

Ask Slashdot: Cost-Effective Designs for a Sea Ice Measurement Satellite?

I believe the OP's oversimplification was intended to suggest that government consumption represents a small fraction of what is consumed by the public. To put things in perspective, that 100M barrels of oil that you mention is roughly equal to one day's worth of global production (https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.cfm).

I don't see 3- and 4-digit user ids very often. Glad some are still around!

Some have accused Slashdot of forsaking its mantra in search of more hits. While it may have been diluted a bit over the years, this is still my go-to for the nerdiest news. Hope you'll be around for another 20!

Open-loop systems also exist as an option for those with suitable ground water resources.

Home Depot sells 2x4's of 92-5/8" (and 104-5/8") lengths, but they are labeled as such. They also sell true 8-footers, which are labeled as 96". I personally have not seen 92-5/8" boards labeled as anything implying a length of 8 feet.

It's like, "How much more black could this be?" and the answer is, "None. None more black."

For some heat pumps, this is what a call for "stage 2" heat translates into. I didn't even have a resistant-heat "auxiliary" unit installed into mine.

In (some of) the suburbs of Salt Lake City, we have exactly what you describe. The fiber infrastructure is owned by the cities, but the municipal network doesn't offer any retail services. Those are provided by "conventional" ISPs, of which there are about a dozen that customers may choose from. The incumbent telecom companies are also invited to participate (but so far have declined to do so).

Market solutions only work when there is actual competition, which I'm not sure has ever existed in wireline communications in the USA. I think this model is the next-best approach, as it eliminates wasteful "last-mile" redundancies while preserving competition where it matters most.

Duct mastic is still preferred over any tape, when possible.

Two of the "Big Three" already went under, six years ago...

If "mixed environment" only means that there are hosts running various OS's at both locations, it's fairly irrelevant.

Anyway, I am using OpenVPN for what appears to be a similar scenario--routing traffic between a relative's and my house. I don't have Internet traffic from one site being routed through the other, although the VPN certainly could be configured that way.

I will also echo the previous recommendation for PFSense, which I am using on one side of the VPN (running on a fairly inexpensive ALIX board). On the other side, I'm using an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite. I can heartily recommend either one, but particularly the EdgeRouter which can't be beat for its ~$100 street price.

The article doesn't elaborate, so I'm guessing this refers to a command sequence sent from the ground. If these are generated by software, it still could have been a software fault, but not on the spacecraft.
