It doesn't appear until you've read the page for maybe 10-15 seconds, so if you're not seeing it, just wait.
It even managed to get past ublock origin, since there's no specific rule for it yet.
There is a similar thing happening now on a smaller scale for Canadian companies that want to migrate off USA-based platforms for all sorts of SaaS and reasons.
I'll go as far as to say it's a right wing agitation propaganda rag. But the story first appeared in the NY Times, as another commenter has linked here,, so it's possible that the story may be accurate (though undoubtedly the nypost has sensationalized it, as that's their specialty), but both things can be true simultaneously. The NY Post can be trash and this series of events might have really happened.
The *ONLY VALUE* of Globalstar for an acquisition is its legacy spectrum allocation in a very valuable (sub 1.7 GHz, above 1.2 GHz) range. The technology was utter crap compared to Iridium and nobody who worked in two way satellite has taken it seriously since maybe 2002.
If you follow trends in USA single family detached home construction, the trend is rather the opposite direction. Extreme rises in inflation generally, price of vehicles, construction materials are sending house builders down paths of using the cheapest, shoddiest possible materials and then slapping a veneer of normalcy on top of it. The amount of MDF and oriented strand board in use is greater than it's ever been. Now they're going back to aluminum wiring, copper clad aluminum cat5e cable, and similar. You should see the horrific results of a framing inspection (pre-drywall) done by a professional, neutral and diligent inspector in the average single family home tract development these days.
Modern "Architecture" has taken the trends of the mid-late 1990s McManson to its ultimate extreme of building "luxury" housing that is in reality anything but. Just good enough to sell, then the shoddiness in construction and maintenance becomes somebody else's problem.
Having at least 1x1 802.11ac that's capable of working in the 5050 to 5900 MHz band will be a huge feature improvement. Such as to connect to a 'modern' AP running in an 80 MHz channel.
There's tons of environments where 2.4 GHz is a CSMA hell of noise and the performance in a single 20 MHz channel will always be crap, and ranges/real world distances between AP and pi will be very limited because of the extreme noise in the 2.4 band.
In a theoretical scenario where the internet is gone and isn't coming back: If you can deal with a very low token/second rate there's no reason not to store 'offline' a much larger model like qwen 3.8-flash-next or deepseek v4 flash 1017 and use an inference engine which can stream-read it off disk to extract the information you want, albeit slowly. Of course also download and use things that'll fit in RAM, sure, like the qwen 3.8 27B in the linked page. But no need to restrict yourself to only smaller models.
I have a family member who bought an Osborne Portable for something like $1800 1981 money, an inflation calculator says that would be the equivalent of $6,971.17 today.
the advertising industry in general is a plague on a great many things, in the current instance of late stage capitalism we exist in.
For people who don't want to do it with proxmox you can also do the same with manual KVM command line tools (virsh, etc) with no GUI. Or as something like a Xen dom0 running the guest as a xen HVM or PVH guest. Lots of ways to do it.
If I need to move it I can shutdown the VM and take an image of its LVM logical volume storage device (by something as rudimentary as like dd into an xz file), move the file, then create a new identically sized logical volume and do the reverse using dd to write from the file into the LVM logical volume location on the destination.
Edit: It would also be possible to do this all in one machine by something as basic as running virtualbox on your laptop, make a disk image file, installing the VM in that, give it bridge mode access to the physical network adapter to get its own DHCP lease in your same LAN segment, and treat it as a logically separate computer. There's minor risks of theoretical hypervisor escapes from the VM on the same machine, but such things tend to get patched fairly quick.
"First they came for the shady weird-ass online gambling sites...."
Could Turkish intelligence link me to the company if they spent significant resources researching the hosting company that provides services to their political enemies? Probably. Do I have any personal plans to take a vacation in Turkey any time soon, or a pressing need to visit Turkey? No.
I am pretty sure we also have someone, somewhere hosting something that insults the King of Thailand, so I suppose that's a risk too.
We do not block IP traffic from known Turkish ISP ranges. The customer (the political group) receives all sorts of dire legal warnings and threats that what they publish is contrary to Turkish law.
None of our other hosting platforms are configured to block any traffic to/from Turkish IP ranges. We have no business presence or financial involvement with anything domestically in Turkey. Am I subject to Turkish jurisdiction? I don't think so.
But by what you wrote, I am providing services in Turkey.
One benefit of doing this is that I can leave it doing long term slow things with slow but capable LLMs on a truly 24x7 basis without worrying about it being interrupted by a laptop being closed/going to sleep, or workstation level software updates/reboots on my primary desktop PC.
