I think they are thinking of something of a poorly designed Dyson Swarm, the plebs who came up with it think that with "cheap" launches, no permits really, and free* power, it might really come out in the wash and be easier to scale.

It's random, but the chosen orbs to queue up are chosen from edges of the piles that you have, also if you hold shift, that is a wildcard orb and will match anything. If you do it with a 0x80 it will purge a good bit of the board
This year we had a really bad RF jammer on 140mhz fucking with the Ham Radio Village/Contest. The story I heard was someone yelled into hardware hacking area that the FCC was coming and the jamming stopped

Place 2 wasn't too bad, it did get botted to all hell. I handled some the early recordings of the canvas to make live time lapses of it. I've done the same here just to have something to mess about with.
My latest and greatest ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 likes to do it sometimes on cachyos, I can't nail it down from a KDE or hardware issue as it never does it while docked or a external mouse

I have not very well treated AuADHD and being alone with my thoughts very long is generally not very productive, At least Coding LLMs have helped me get things I wouldn't of had the attention span to make in the past come to life. and a good bit of vibe coding is just yelling at the LLM that what its doing sounds good on paper so keep going, please do the needful, make no mistakes :V

VPN and DNS Packages in OpenWRT eat a good bit of ram. and sometimes can be cheaper for faster speeds needed to higher packet processing.
