"Sure," said the rocket scientist, "we can send rockets to the moon."
"We can build a city there," said the engineer. "It'll be expensive, but we can do it."
"But why?" said the economist. "What would you mine there you can't get on Earth?"
"One thing," said the billionaire. "Respect."

@MicroSFF And it doesn't even work.

@MicroSFF In my Intro to Planetary Geology class 20 years ago (typically taught by a crusty old hand who had trained the Apollo crews), we had whole class one day by an old fashioned hard rock mining geologist on why mining the Moon is stupid, but here's how you would do it. There are no ore deposits, because there's no rivers, so to get anything remotely usable you have to process massive piles of bulk gravel through giant solar furnaces to get a bit of useful oxygen. Not a whole lot has changed since then, just a bit better knowledge of how little ice (and therefore hydrogen) there really is at the poles.

@MicroSFF (all three to billionaire) "Pffft."

Some billionaires… nothing they could do, or cause to have done, could ever garner them any respect.
👍👍

@MicroSFF Maybe I'm strange, but I want these billionaires to spend on their vanity projects that are doomed to failure. I want that money out of their hoarding, grubby hands.

@MicroSFF Oddly I can give an answer to the economist:
"Aluminum and iron that don't cost $250/kg to lift to orbit."

@MicroSFF Psst: buy cheese futures, there's going to be some *really* valuable cheese on the market in due course, when they find they need an export industry in a hurry.

Sono miserrimi. Di un livello talmente basso da far venire il voltastomaco.
Questa è l'attuale "classe dirigente"; accuratamente selezionata da un corpo elettorale che è messo addirittura peggio.
Voto per l'estinzione.
P.S. eppure Pucci, magari col libretto scritto da Lollobrigida :D sarebbe stato da non perdere.

@_elena I will make sure to give him a pat from you 😃

@iodomi It definitely supports all of that.
ZFS is available out of the box, can handle whatever raid setup you like.
You can either run your services with the out of the box packages, or with a little extra footwork, setup what FreeBSD calls jails to setup containers for them to keep them isolated from one another.
