The point, is that people don't like thinking about this subject, as evidenced by the fact that half of people don't put plans in place even when it's something as comparatively simple as a will unless they get more imminent prior warning. This is not a Linux kernel specific issue, Bram and vim being an obvious example. Something as potentially complicated as the Linux kernel succession? I can see why it wouldn't be a subject the community was keen to tackle.

Have you got a will?
Estimated 50% of adults don't. There's always a more pleasant task on the to-do list to be getting on with.

There is a continuity process at least https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/102606402f4f5943266160e263c450fdfe4dd981 Although it is mainly, here is the process to figure out the plan.

If you are UK based then I've done this before. Really was excellent.

Now just waiting for my girls to be old enough to go to the kids version.

I was managing with virtual box on the work machine. But following win 11 the performance under hyper v is so appalling that I gave up.
In the end my solution is a 2nd hand ThinkPad off FB marketplace that I use for work.
Browser apps cover all the word/excel/outlook/teams requirements.
Winboat is covering the very limited set of other apps.
Everything else I do works better in Linux, or at least better on a device I have admin for.
Yes I am out of pocket but not significantly, and not having to deal with windows has been completely worth it for me.

I thought it might be a reference to prof. But that didn't seem like enough for a (fake) book cover so I was wondering if I missed something.

Someone please explain the Linux profiling one to me.

And just because they're a count, don't assume they have a castle.

Depending on your requirements there is also esphome on an esp32-cam board. Works fine if you just want to stream the video.

I wouldn't say it was my favourite FTL but it has some interesting implications.

The artificial wormholes of The Algebraist by Ian Banks. I can't say too much if you haven't already read it, but it's artificial wormholes that have to be transported sublight.

All the new wormholes are of course lovely and high capacity, but much of the network is still the original tiny little ones first installed. So your military at least uses kilometer long needle ships that can fit through these small points.

Think fitting an aircraft carrier through a Stargate.

If your garden is that size then a boundary wire system is very manageable. You got any tricky elements? Ponds, step slopes etc?

Also while I'm fully in favour of HA integration that is going to push the price up. But what's the scenario you want that for? Robomowers are a good fire and forget application. No integration needed, but if you really must there are some easy modifications involving the rain sensor that can give some limited control.
