I mean systemd didn't force any distro to use their software nor force any other developer to assume systemd is present. Any software that assumes systemd is present is not the fault of systemd itself, in fact I'd argue it is a sign of its success. Argue all you want about systemd being monolithic and single point of failure, at the end of the day, software dev needs some tools, and if systemd already provides it but other software doesn't, of course they will choose systemd.

Understandable actually. Server maintenance costs money and if a 3rd party chat app; which significantly has more usage than other forms of social media; is trying to connect to the server, they have to handle that traffic too. Remember, it is not just about data size, but also the sheer volume of connection to handle.

I think the solution is just P2P with each peer acting as a relay to the other too. The protocol needs to be designed in such a way that no-one in the middle can reply to send false acknowledgement so as to prevent sybil attack or other attack where a malicious actor is a part of the network.

Size wise, it is small relative to the ship size. Look at car engine. How many % of volume is taken up for the engine and fuel tank of car? I think it is close to 30-40%

Until you realize that the energy requirement is also different. Land transport in general is very inefficient. Ship is in fact one of the most energy efficient means of transport.

Different mechanisms to move mass have different energy requirements. Shocking I know. Cars or land based transportation in general suffers from having a lot of mass since they tend to have higher rolling resistance. But once the mass is rolling, the propelling method can be turned off and that inertia is maintained. Remember, unless an external force is applied, an object that moves will maintain its velocity. It is also why trains are more efficient since they have very little rolling resistance.

Now, I am not very familiar with ships but I think it has something to do with the overall geometry of the ship itself that will define the energy needed to operate rather than mass. Just like airplanes, ships are moving in fluids so their geometry has a lot of effect on their engine efficiency rather than mass carried.

The US government can do the same, and they do bailouts for companies often too. Isn't that also meddling in the free market? Why didn't the US government incentivize EV then?

What can foreign adversaries do shady shit with towards you who lives overseas and low probability of going into the mainland versus your local government?

So to compensate for a poor service that is epic game launcher you have to turn to oss solution maintained by the community thanklessly while still giving epic the 25% cut of your sale? I'd rather not give epic any money at all

Yeah, sometimes computer can act normal (boot and everything) but the system has somehow become unstable. Sometimes that means there is improper hardware installation, or in embedded system, something is nearing its end of life due to defect or other myriad of factor.

I mean in the sense that they are replacing the method of escalation, I will not talk about its overall architecture as that is a whole can of worms. I am well aware of how SystemD works and its problem too.

I didn't follow the saga but, have you tried reflashing the firmware and reinstalling klipper? Also, where did you run klipper from? Did you have a spare sbc to test on? Some incorrect software behaviour could also be a result of hardware failure or malfunction that wasn't really visible.
