I love to see that they're using Snapper with btrfs. Snapper is one of the coolest "boring" Linux projects I know of. You normally don't even realize it's there, but when you need it, it's a lifesaver.
Most people agree that the manhole cover would have been vaporized during its atmospheric ascent portion of flight, but I still like to believe that somewhere out there in the void, a small blob of molten steel that survived the atmosphere is drifting in solar orbit.
I live in rural America. The story is quite similar here. My options were (a) cellular hotspot, which is slow and expensive, or (b) satellite internet, which is also slow and expensive. Despite government programs, there are no cable/fiber/DSL options in my area. Starlink fills the gap nicely; it's not blazingly fast, but pretty much meets FCC broadband definitions for $55/mo.
One of my Proxmox hosts is glacially slow at running VMs. (Dell R520; I have a same-generation server that is fine at VMs, so not sure what the root cause is). I wonder if this would help performance.
Don't forget, this is the same company that is killing Publisher with no true alternative to open existing .pub files. At least they aren't planning to rip Publisher away from perpetually-licensed users (yet).
