You then have a communication system that can be shut down by fog or heavy rain though.

It's slightly less stupid in interior applications, but data centre applications will almost always be better suited to wired.

towing a kayak full of camping gear.

Reply in thread

The tow was quite steady, I had a ten metre line between me and the towed kayak, which had a bit of stretch in it.

The line doesn't typically foul like that, it will typically go past the rudder on one side or the other. I can always flip the rudder up and back down again to get the line out of the way.

Overall, the tow went better than I expected, and we made reasonable speed across.

Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

I haven't run Linux myself, but I know people who have.

The Linux experience, from the outside, seemed to consist of solving problems that wouldn't exist if you just used the OS your computer came with, and being so very proud of your geek prowess, without having the self awareness to realise you're the one who broke it in the first place.

The cure seems to be growing up, having adult responsibilities, and not having the time or inclination to spend an evening un-fucking your computer.
