For a single node cluster k3s is the easiest. For a multi-node one (I need it for a demo platform) I use Lima VMs and Ansible to install everything into them. It's good to have multiple thin-provisioned disks 1 TiB each on you laptop 😉

Did the buttons change their shadows when you pressed them? They should 😉

Pittsburgh is at 1,233 ft above sea level. I don't think it makes a lot of difference if we are talking hundreds of miles.

It's either one antenna at 382 miles and the other at the ground level, or two antennas at ~100 miles each, in LA and Pittsburgh

Check SpaceX as well 😉

382 miles high -- this is where you should put your antenna in LA to get a line of sight to Pittsburgh, according to my calculations 😉

If you put it high enough... 😉

I guess they want to generate a key for that number and store it _somewhere_. And a record in contacts is the most obvious place for that. Just my guess.

I guess it's not a very rare event and we have lived through several such years already 😉

You should have been using physical cash to complete the picture. 😉
