Just think of it as evolution in action.

Did they mean route as in path to a solution? Or root as the source? Seems odd.


“The root of the problem” is a more usual usage, but is just as readily applied (ha get it) as “the root of the solution”, especially when a dental pun can be bonded (puns are swell) to the headline (I can’t think of a way to pun on gumline here).

I found the phrasing really difficult to read and understand, even though I got the pun, so you’re not alone in that.


Root as in seed [crystal], as in nucleation point is what I would surmise.


Dentistry pun? Root as in the root of a tooth?


According to the Programming Guide, it supports aliases for imports

"In case of conflict or convenience, you can give modules an alias as well."


This isn't about conflict, it's about how humans read it.

Let's say I have two modules, "telnet" and "ssh", and both have a "connect" function. When I read "import connect, (long list of other imports here)" I don't know which connect it is, and I might form the wrong mental connection, which I then have to revise when I start to read the module name.


There's a youtube video from one of the paper's authors and interstellar is probably a stretch but 1000+ AU is far beyond what we can achieve today so not bad.


If you have to ask.... :)

(other people's) previous guesstimates were 500k - 1M. It does look like you can order it partially provisioned (compute wise I'm guessing) and expand later.


I don't know about anyone else, but I pronounce midget and widget exactly the same. eg... soft I sound for the 'i' and a j sound for the 'g'.

So for me, the clarification on the name makes it less understandable :)


Hey, thanks for the comment - you're right.

It’s pronounced /ˈmɪgɛt/ – like it’s spelled, with a hard “g”. No relation to “midget”, no offense intended.

Thanks again for pointing it out!


This...


How about 'On Premise Micro Data Centre" :-p

Doesn't quite role off the tongue though, not even a good acronym. Maybe Personal Data Centre (pdc)?

There's some cross over with r/selfhosted but that generally includes people hosting things on VPS/Bare metal.


Which premise is this based on?


Sorry, did I get it wrong? I only ever see it as onprem ;).


I think they were making a kind of play on words on your misspelling. It is short for on premises.


No, worries, I knew, I couldn't remember if it had the s or not... I'll have to look up the etymology.


Just a tease :-)

On-premises means in a physical location, i.e. data center (or garage) in this context.

On premise would mean based on an argument/inference.


No offence taken :).

Just today I saw a post (on Reddit) 'Mauling' over whether to get a Framework 16 or not (I assume that English was not their native tongue). Me? I would have just let the bear have it ;-p


Some resources:

Note: You'll probably need a permit for the electrical work if it's more permanent and/or grid tied.

But watch the video at https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/mobile-48v-system.html for something similar to a Goal Zero or Jackery


There is also https://skateco.github.io/ which (at quick glance) seems similar


Skate author here: please try it out! I haven’t gotten round to diving deep into uncloud yet, but I think maybe the two projects differ in that skate has no control plane; the cli is the control plane.

I built skate out of that exact desire to have a dokku like experience that was multi host and used a standard deployment configuration syntax ( k8s manifests ).

Looks like uncloud has no control plane, just a CLI: https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud#-features
