I'd say it is still a mix of both and both paths are well-supported and well-maintained.
It only affects landing in bad weather.

Still a lot of money being printed, but not 10s of Trillions.
Compare with the BeagleBone Black, which contains the complete design:
https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-black/blob/master/...
Every IC is being bought up by new 3rd party distributors to scalp to desperate electronics manufacturers.
Take a look at this chip we are just now crossing as an example, click on 'Non-authorized stocking distributors':

Win Source has a bunch, but you will pay 6x the cost. We have been quoted even 100x the list price for some ICs on our boards.
Luckily as a small company we are nimble and can mostly cross to similar components, and have been for months now, but a whole board assembly run can be stopped with a single component being impossible to find out of hundreds on the BOM.
Having scalpers in the mix raising the price for all components worries me that the chip shortage might not end for many years, as they can self-fund by raising their prices to stock up on new supply. Not to mention the higher number of random failures as counterfeits easily find their way into the supply chain without 'authorized' distributors.
It is miles better than SysV or monit. I haven't needed to try the 'suggested' replacements like runit or openrc.
Everything is customizable, every file, every compiler flag and option of every package, with easy overrides in your own layer which only 'appends' to the original instructions, or adding and removing packages as you see fit in the base install.
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
cd poky
git checkout -b hardknott -t origin/hardknott
source oe-init-build-env
MACHINE=qemuarm64 bitbake core-image-sato
But after the first build you may want more - bringing in other functional layers for different features (maybe you want docker?), support for different boards (same OS distro for x86_64 and ARM, or your own custom board... plus it can build a whole SDK for you for local development/debugging?), customization of target files, pulling from updated upstreams, support in deployment and throughout the device lifecycle, custom package feeds, etc.There's a lot going for Yocto, it has a deep learning curve but does a pretty good job of taming the complexity of managing an entire OS distro.
I always come back to this article: https://petapixel.com/2020/08/17/gigapixel-ai-accidentally-a...
If it swapped to libcurl as a backend, it would be much more flexible and stay up-to-date, since the idea is solid. That being said there are many spiritual successors to look into:
- zchunk
- casync
- desync
- bita
Although I don't know any diet that would be "clean" compared with a water fast...

Looks like I get a new sudo!> Each satellite in the SpaceX System provides aggregate downlink capacity to users ranging from 17 to 23 Gbps, depending on the gain of the user terminal involved. Assuming an average of 20 Gbps, the 1600 satellites in the Initial Deployment would have a total aggregate capacity of 32 Tbps.
https://fcc.report/IBFS/SAT-LOA-20161115-00118/1158349
They have a couple of GHz of bandwidth on the satellites for each of the user downlinks/ground station uplinks, and maybe a GHz for the user uplinks/ground station downlinks, operating in the Ku (12-18 GHz) and Ku (27-40 GHz) bands (requested frequencies on page 8 of the linked paper.)
One of the best articles I have seen on the lab-made hypothesis is here:

If you want to go down a more skeptical route, closer into conspiracy theories and Chinese politics, you can read some of the writings on this site:
https://nerdhaspower.weebly.com/blog/scientific-evidence-and...
Please, when reading these, keep your scientist hat on and evaluate the claims with an open mind.
That being said, if anyone has links to rebuttals of some of the key ideas behind these articles, or further evidence of natural origin beyond the Andersen et al Nature paper, please link it, I'd very much like to change my mind.

It goes quite deep into the genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 relative to existing bat coronaviruses, laying out the case that it is definitely of a non-natural origin.
I am not anywhere near knowledgeable enough to fully evaluate the claims, but I would really enjoy seeing a rebuttal that is as clearly written to make the case for a natural cause. To me the Nature article just says 'nah, evolution is random, therefore SARS-CoV-2 randomly happened.' but it would be nice to see more detail. Especially with the closest ancestor of RaTG13 being decades of evolution away. (not to mention the questions around the origin of RaTG13 on the author's site...)
I used this technique a long time ago on qrpixel.com but forgot to renew the domain, oops...

Also for information about how this works, Russ Cox did a good article on it, calculating using the R-S section as well: https://research.swtch.com/qart
Bet 9 (https://longbets.org/9/) - A bioterror or bioerror will lead to one million casualties in a single event within a six month period starting no later than Dec 31 02020.
If it was truly an accidental lab release, it could be a winning bet...
Google's "targeted-journalist-level" Advanced Protection Program means I don't have to worry about password resets or account recovery stuff on the account.
Though I have lost track of the number of services I didn't have immediate access to since someone signed up using my email address, and reclaiming it can be a battle sometimes. The Apple ID was interesting - but luckily everyone's "first pet's name" was "Fido"... (Seriously... Please validate your emails everyone!!!)
Often, whenever a real mailing address is included I print out the email and send it in a real letter with a friendly (if just a tad passive-aggressive) note inside. But overall I try to do the right thing for important documents and correspondence.
I do shudder to think how many random accounts are just an email-password-reset away from having access though...
