Because it was originally advertized as an optional init replacement. The acrimonious debates were because a number of people did not believe that's all is going to be, given the history of its designers.
Of course, nowadays many people would flat-out deny that systemd was sold as an init replacement, and claim that what you see was the original intention all along.
I continue to standartize on Debian VM containers for infrastructure, but only because of lack of alternatives.
All the fabs on your list are fairly modern, and it is easy to see how they would be impossible to maintain in a Tainter-style collapse.
I would be looking into what you can do with ~1 um processes, which are currently accessible to amateurs. E.g. designs like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11720289
Also, you could use structural batteries, which would substitute for part of the plane structure.
Indeed, it's widely known that Cisco/Juniper is pretty much in bed with the US intelligence, and so is Microsoft.
It is also not very smart to antagonize a world power that you also need for a lot of critical components, including lots of modern fabs.
The project is dead. Stop poking it with a stick. It won't rise up again.
It is, if you consider selective enforcement.
I see a surprise in your future.
The chance is pretty good, given their recent track record.
The point is that the law says any Tor onion service market is illegal, by definition.
And it's obviously only a first step before outlawing anonymization for the general public, including a ban on encryption.
Google is self-isolating into a walled garden. Good riddance.
And, of course, I'm also ditching Chrome for Firefox (and Tor Browser) as well.
Well done, Google. You finally forced my hand.
Aluminium (air) batteries are potentially very promising though.
Which is why I'm shutting down these 20 domains running HTTP/SMTP services I'm hosting in less than a week, and wait until the smoke clears.
