The wording and tone of the emails sent to Adguard reads just like phishing emails with a hint of political SMS spam. Glad to see the people behind there thinking critically and acting rationally despite such language.

I’ve been running an Incus cluster of 3 fairly beefy servers for about a year now. It’s my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to setup a new virtualized environment.
One of my favorite features is how you can tag different cluster members for different architectures. In the same cluster, I can have traditional dual-socket x86 servers with a dozen DIMM slots as well as Raspberry Pis. The architecture tagging lets me strategize execution of ARM-based container workloads to be only on the Pis, or opt to run them via QEMU on the x86 platforms if that makes more sense in a particular scenario. Since I deal with a lot of embedded firmware, this offers a nice, flexible platform.
Stephen Graeber is also a long time contributor to the LXC project and his reasoning behind this fork and other changes are quite sound. I hope the project sees continued success. Stephen’s business model of offering consulting services for Incus systems also seems quite sound.

Can Incus do regular vms too, or only LXCs? I think I looked at it before but wrote it off because I still have some workloads that have to be in VMs.
Yes, it can do both. The image server will build for both options if possible, so you have to specify “—vm” on the command line creating the domain.

In my experience, anyone running Wayland is very much used to some number of applications that depend on Xwayland. Does Zathura + MuPDF not work with it?
Either way, if you want to show off a project, just do so…

UWB, used by CCC keys (iOS and Android; UWB might be optional for Android?) definitely is — TOF distance precision in the inches.
FYI - the inclusion of UWB (specifically the FiRa consortium secure ranging standard) was not part of the CCC Digital Key specification until v4.0.0, which only left its draft state very recently, at least in terms of automotive security standards.

That's great, but the writing is still on the wall if Toyota doesn't get serious about electric cars.
With their current trajectory Toyota is headed at 1000mph directly towards being the next Blackberry, Kodak, Nokia or Blockbuster.
I say this as someone who owned a Prius for 10 years and loved it, and have also driven their hydrogen car. The BZ4X is badly named overpriced garbage, not enough and not good enough. The clock is ticking and they have to act yesterday to avert disaster and they're sitting their twiddling their thumbs.
Currently Tesla is the iPhone to Toyota's Nokia and they're going to have to work very hard very soon to turn that around or their company will die.
Toyota moves more slowly than many other brands because of their company culture/philosophy.
To your point about BEVs, Toyota started producing BEV batteries at their plant in North Carolina this year: https://www.toyota.com/usa/operations/map/tbmnc

Wow, this is overall great advice.
I am much later in my career than the audience I assume this is intended for, but I have struggled to mentor junior colleagues on many of the major bullet points here so succinctly.
This should be recommended reading for new college grads entering a more traditional (I.e. non-startup) work environment. Definitely keeping a bookmark of this for that reason.
I was a little disappointed to discover there was only 1 degree of separation between “Benito Mussolini” and “Bread”.
