There is a clear view of the sky, no obstructions. The phone app showed that the satellite receiver had a good connection, ping percentages, etc. It was just
"restricted" because the software had decided this was not a valid location for this account. Even though we changed the account to a "ROAM" account. A day later, they still haven't even responded on the chat, except an automatic "we're sorry we haven't called yet" text.

They used to sell racks. Incidentally a lot of people buy mac minis for a homeserver utilizing the thunderbolt for a DAS. I believe this is still the only “first party” way to use a remote server for time machine backups. People seem to complain about headaches trying to get it to work over samba with linux servers but apple lets you specify another mac end point for time machine cleanly in their gui.
I do this (use a mini for hosting time machine backups). I have them on external drives, I have two and switch between them weekly, keeping the other one at a friend's house.

IANAL. I am very concerned about this matter. from the document you so helpfully provided: "the President proclaimed that “all Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older who are members of TdA, are within the United States, and are not actually naturalized or lawful permanent residents of the United States are liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as Alien Enemies.”
So I think on its face they are claiming they are apprehending NON-"lawful permanent residents" - i.e. NON green card holders. I think the reality, though, is that even if you ARE a green card holder, the way this is being carried out - based on the video of Mahmoud Khalil's "arrest" - you may find yourself having your head shaved in a prison in El Salvador, with no way to make your case.
Re Mahmoud Khalil- he IS a "lawful permanent resident" and I thought "habeas corpus" was thought to be an issue within 24 hours, much more time has now elapsed. ????
14 years of age seems like a pretty low cutoff, also......

I encourage you to read the government's appeal to the DC Circuit Court. It is terrifying. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69742127/01208720432/jg...
The government is saying that it can declare that transnational crime is an "invasion" under the Alien Enemies Act, and that the courts cannot review this decision. Therefore, they can arrest, deport, or transfer to a prison in a third country, any non-citizen and the courts have no power to intervene or review the decision.
Transnational crime will always exist, and it is present in many countries. So if you're a citizen of Italy and a lawful permanent resident of the US, they can arrest you, accuse you of being in the mafia, and send you to a prison in El Salvador, and you will have no legal recourse. I don't even think they would need that fig leaf since the courts would have no power to review their actions.

re uber and taxis: I don't use uber, but I just had occasion to price a ride to the airport (Dulles) from home (Bethesda MD) for Lyft and a taxi, and the taxi was a lot cheaper. We got there just fine.

I did, a little while ago. It's sort of an exercise in Luddism. Been posting things that are personal, political, etc. It's just very simple HMTL, not even any dynamic HTML, so no comments, etc. I just started doing it and have kept it up for a bit. It's at https://www.vin-dit.org/
