Sure. But so are your options with internal combustion. Maintain and replace (a lot of moving parts in that, with explosions). And if you're replacing an entire engine or an expensive part in an old car, you're going to buy a new one from the original manufacturer or try a second hand part?

Mind, I'm not talking about immediate warranty. I'm talking about 10+ yo cars. With at least 10k km yearly.

It's not an engine swap. People put used tesla batteries in custom evs right now, in few years you'll have shops doing aftermarket battery pack replacement as a matter of course.

Because actually writing code is the least important part of programming.

I can confirm caddy is more of a high availability proxy than a proper load balancer, but it does it's job and has an api you can hook up to a gui if you want. Or like I do - to a config repo with ci/cd deployment.

You may be surprised but a private (self-hosted) torrent tracker is how I did this when I had crappy internet and had to send over a bunch of pictures and video to family.

You can encrypt the data before sending, although it still should be fairly safe, speeds don't matter much, there's no storage to pay for or risk leaking.

I might get physical in that sitiation. And I'm very tame.

Remember you can sometimes buy those games on GOG or itch.io too, and more money goes to the devs.

ORB: Off-World Resource Base is currently deeply discounted on GOG.

You can compare the trip to the circumnavigation attempts in the age of discovery, you may never see your home again, and die of dehydration in the middle of endless ocean.

But you can still breathe freely in the middle of the ocean. Space is more akin to sittting in a submarine, where to surface you need to travel for several months.

And honestly, while it would be cool, there is little point of sending humans to Mars.

People really underestimate how unique and cool our planet is with all that's going on.

Now, sending robots, and bringing some stuff back for analysis... Why not? Way cheaper too.

Nothing happend so nobody is to blame for anything. IF something happened, then yes, the person would be held accountable, perhaps not too harshly, but still.

Same situation: long haul driver doesn't get a second driver for a 14h run. Management shrugs, he drives for 12, falls asleep and kills someone. He is responsible, but he perhaps was also coerced, and the responsibility is on a company as well.

Not everything is clear cut, as much as we'd like.
