> the Galaxy (or Universe as a whole) which is categorically bigger than Sol, the sun, a single star.

I would need to be a complete moron to argue with this. Humor me, however. My Latin skills end at remembering "Romani Ite Domum" and English is not my first language.

My layman reading of the names: there is one Terra, one Luna and one Sol => "Astra" is singular.

Now that I googled it, I understand that "Astra" literally means the "Stars" category. I would not have thought that they called a single star "Astrum". On the other hand, I am not sure if it means "Galaxy" in modern sense, but we're entering Roman Astronomy territory, where I am even less knowledgeable than in the language.

Sol is a star, so having a dedicated Stars category on the naming scale makes less sense. Treating Astra as Stars set without Sol, the "distance from observer" argument still kind of makes sense.

At the risk of taking a geocentric position, my gut feel is Terra -> Luna -> Sol -> Astra. Sorting algorithm is distance from observer.

Size wise Astra is not categorically bigger than Sol, both in absolute terms and the observed size.

Looks like a ton of this is aspirational.

For your project -- do you really need the car's GPS positioning? Could go with a dedicated GPS antenna, like the freematics dongle

"Right equipment" is probably very load bearing. Wouls need a very high gain directional antenna, not sure if a camera next to the road has the space to pick this up from a moving car.

The argument for "it shouldn't" could be that it's a federal supplier and/or some sort of RnD exception. Not sure if NIST would even sell to a private buyer.

You can use raw wireguard + ddns(if your ISP-given IP changes) to achieve this. This also implies maintaining a firewall to allow network pixies in and out. Totally doable, just needs a bit of upfront setup.

Benefit of Tailscale is that run the external servers that your PC and mobile use to establish connection.

Alternatives are Logmein Hamachi(might be dating myself here, haven't used them in 10+ years), Zerotier, Netbird. Headscale too.

That's your right, but the problem is that cameras are in public and some people do mind this.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this referring to?

I'd pay top dollar for an adblocker that would replace ads with "They Live" references

Folks are already walking (and driving, which is more scary) in a daze, glued to their doomscrolling rectangles

This is probably PEBCAK, but I can't figure out how to capture an island

I can totally see Internet availabilit correlating with the rise of unwanted stuff in the install. Believe it started with 3rd party games being part of the OS at first. I don't recall the yes/maybe later dialog "options" in win8 though, at least not in the beginning.

I actually really liked the win8 start menu change and the live tiles, even wrote some tiny homegrown apps with them. My logic was always "if I am opening the start menu, I will want to interact with that menu and only it until it's closed", so having it fullscreen made sense.
