This work is more important than ever. A lot US public records are in the process of or will be destroyed by the current administration, so an independent archive of the data is invaluable..The only thing I would suggest is that they have a couple of non-US mirrors.

This is also why newspapers publishing public notices, birth, death, and other records independent of government is important..

I guess the schools will just have to setup facilities in poorer neighborhoods who's wifi will spillover and pay for it with erate funding.

Although likely buttons and lights would just connect to GPIO on the infotainment system or other module near where they are installed...a switch can cost a few pennies, a comm module will cost a few dollars.

It will be CANBUS , not MIDI

Postgres can be a relational database, a document store (JSON) database, a key-value pair database, a geospatial database, a graph database, a full text search engine....
and Postgres JSONB performance almost always beats CouchDB, MongoDB and other dedicated document store DBs.

What we're really missing in our society are people who actually make things and innovate: EEs, MEs, CEs, etc..

Too bad just about every "normal" user who tries to use it ends up not liking it, until you bring their MSO back.

Also a full 365 implementation is not just the Office suite, but also email/messaging, file shares, intranet type stuff, calendaring/booking, etc.. When the organizations I maintain moved to 365, I made it clear they have to make use of every feature to make it pay off for what the cost is.

Sure, after migrating a few organizations to MS365, mostly because that's what they are expected to have, after resisting it for nearly a decade - finally the licensing costs between 365 vs perpetual licensed, and having to maintain file servers and mail servers came to a wash over 5 years, but if MS makes such a price increase, throws that analysis all out the window.

I've been trying to get organizations to ditch MS Office for 25+ years, but there is constant resistance, and even after trying alternatives (Star Office, OOo, LibreOffice, etc.), they never have a similar user experience as MS Office and users fight back at first frustration, and of course external entities they work with assume their using MSO...also when were running our own mail exchangers, any difficulty getting messages through was always our fault, no matter who was blocking it...again, everyone just expects everyone else to be running 365 or GSuite, so we just gave everyone what they wanted in the end, and significant increase in monthly operating expense, but like I said earlier, can make a case where they break even over 3-5 years, if monthly/yearly licensing stay relatively stable.

If your code works on modern versions of PHP and are preforming to the scale you wish, just keep maintaining the current versions to the current PHP version..

Next major version can change to use frameworks on PHP (although I'm not always a fan of using frameworks, depends on the application), or start migration to Python or NodeJS (although some will say you're just change one crappy platform for another).

What is you're a teapot?
