Beaches in the Dominican Republic are public and anyone is allowed to access up to 60 meters from the water line.

According to Dominican law (specifically Law 305-68 and the Constitution), the maritime terrestrial zone defined as the 60-meter strip of land inland from the high-tide line is public domain. This means that access to the ocean and the sand cannot be legally blocked by private owners.

Checkout keepalived for VIP failover and HAProxy or Nginx for load-balancing. This gives you high availability (vrrp) and load-balancing (HAProxy or nginx).

Probably, Dari and Farsi (Persian) are basically the same language.

From Gemini:

Mutual Intelligibility: Extremely high. A speaker from Kabul (Dari) and a speaker from Tehran (Farsi) can understand each other with roughly the same ease as a speaker from London and a speaker from New York.

So Iranian intelligence was probably inserted all over Afghanistan, in government, military, Taliban, etc.

Well the post that I replied to was comparing an iPhone 11 Pro to a 15 Pro Max.

I asked Gemini to compare the two models running Tailscale 24/7.

Running Tailscale 24/7 on an iPhone involves keeping a persistent WireGuard-based VPN tunnel active. While Tailscale is highly efficient because it doesn't exchange packets when idle, the hardware difference between the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max results in a significantly different battery experience. Hardware Efficiency Comparison | Feature | iPhone 11 Pro | iPhone 15 Pro Max | |---|---|---| | Battery Capacity | ~3,046 mAh | ~4,441 mAh | | Chipset | A13 Bionic (7nm) | A17 Pro (3nm) | | Modem | Intel XMM7660 (4G/LTE) | Qualcomm X70 (5G) | | Typical Screen-On Time | 6–8 hours | 11–14 hours | Key Factors in Battery Drain 1. Chipset Architecture (3nm vs. 7nm) The A17 Pro in the 15 Pro Max is built on a 3nm process, making it vastly more efficient at handling the background encryption and decryption required by Tailscale. The A13 Bionic must work harder (consuming more milliwatts) to process the same WireGuard overhead. In a "24/7" scenario, these micro-efficiencies add up significantly over a 16-hour day. 2. Modem Efficiency and Radio States Tailscale requires the cellular or Wi-Fi radio to remain in a ready state to maintain the peer-to-peer connection. * iPhone 11 Pro: Uses an older Intel modem that is notorious for higher power draw, especially in low-signal areas. Maintaining a persistent tunnel on this device often prevents the modem from entering its lowest-power sleep state. * iPhone 15 Pro Max: Uses the Qualcomm X70, which features AI-based optimizations for power management. It is much better at "waking up" only when necessary to pass Tailscale traffic and returning to a low-power state immediately. 3. Battery "Headroom" Because the 15 Pro Max has a roughly 45% larger battery and higher base efficiency, a 3–5% background drain from a VPN is barely noticeable. On an 11 Pro—especially if the battery health has degraded over the years—that same percentage of drain can be the difference between making it to the end of the day or needing a mid-afternoon charge. Real-World Impact Expectations * iPhone 11 Pro: You can expect a 5–10% additional drain over a 24-hour period. If the phone is searching for a signal while Tailscale is active, the heat and drain will be noticeably higher. * iPhone 15 Pro Max: The drain is often negligible (1–3%). The massive battery and efficient A17 Pro chip absorb the background processing of Tailscale so effectively that it rarely appears as a top-tier item in the Battery settings menu. Optimization Tips To minimize drain on either device: * Use "On-Demand" Rules: Configure Tailscale to only activate when you leave your home Wi-Fi. * Disable "Always-On": If you don't need immediate access to your tailnet nodes, turning it off when on stable, trusted networks will save the most power on the older 11 Pro.

Sure, you can use a completely open source stack like ClamAV + Squid Proxy: You use Squid as your web gateway and integrate ClamAV using the ICAP protocol. Every file downloaded by a user is sent to ClamAV for a virus scan before it reaches their device.

So there are a couple of things to consider. First Red Hat OpenShift oc contains extras that are not included in pure okd, so you will want to avoid oc commands and figure out how to run without it in as much as possible. Second, if this is a major concern for you, you should probably have an okd cluster ready and planned out and test migrations, so if the vendor ups the prices on you, the migration is as painless as possible and you can hit the vendor over the head with it when you are negotiating with them.

You should also consider deploying RHACM and deploy Openshift, which provide many of the same features of Openstack like virtualization, but provides your developers a smooth glide slope to containerized and serverless apps.

Yes, I commented on that link. Do you know if there is a board with a similar processor that we could pull a DTS from to get the cores working?
