You don't have to wait until expiry. Transfers generally add 1 year of service (for most TLDs), so unless you're already at the limit, you can transfer everything now.
X86S allows 32-bit ring3 (userland) but even VMs are stuck in long mode and only support 32-bit code for userland. Booting a VM for a 64-bit OS that has a legacy bootloader with 16-bit or 32-bit code would require software emulation of that code.
It is mentioned in the first paragraph of the README:
shpool is a service that enables session persistence by allowing the creation of named shell sessions owned by shpool so that the session is not lost if the connection drops. shpool can be thought of as a lighter weight alternative to tmux or GNU screen.
Is there anything that explains the why and how a bit deeper?
As an example, in the video "Packaging a Gem as a Nix derivation", he basically just and copies and pastes another default.nix, changes some strings and mentions he doesn't understand what 'passthrough.updateScript' does, but just changes a string there too.
I would watch the entire thing in order to get the "full experience" of his tutorial. This touches on things like the CLI vs just syntax.
If you are coming from the perspective of non-NixOS (e.g. HomeManager or just nixpkgs) then maybe start at his rundown of what NixOS is vs HomeManager [1].
Or if you really just want to understand the nix language itself then probably start at 'Demystifying nixpkgs' [2].
I'm not sure if you're trying to imply that Lightning Network is vaporware, but there are currently three implementations that pass the integration tests:
If the sf gate article is correct, Fidelity had a $84 million investment in SpaceX. This was part of a $1.0 billion round with Google that SpaceX says was just under 10%.[1] Looks like Google owns about 9% of SpaceX (I can't find this spelled out directly anywhere just goggling around).
If SpaceX is valued at about $20 billion, Google owns 9%, and Google's market cap is $720 billion, buying Google gets you 0.25% of that investment into SpaceX. Almost nothing, but better than Fidelity's exposure.
I've done work from low-level BIOS extensions, to Hypervisor development, to Linux kernel development, to Network Services (DNS, SMTP, DHCP, HTTP, TLS, etc) to high level distributed systems.
I've worked as the first engineer at a startup to large multi-national companies.
I'm generally looking for something in the cloud and/or backend internet services, but I'm open to something new as well.
