Investors clearly aren't familiar with rocket launches. SpaceX scrubbed their Starship launch last evening so they could fix an engine issue. SpaceX stock immediately crashed. Even worse, Rocket Lab, an entirely unaffiliated company, had its stock plummet after the SpaceX scrub.

Which means, they must all be calling Google, no?

Incorrect. Alternate search providers exist, such as Bing (used by DuckDuckGo, for example) and Brave.

I live in rural America. The story is quite similar here. My options were (a) cellular hotspot, which is slow and expensive, or (b) satellite internet, which is also slow and expensive. Despite government programs, there are no cable/fiber/DSL options in my area. Starlink fills the gap nicely; it's not blazingly fast, but pretty much meets FCC broadband definitions for $55/mo.

One of my Proxmox hosts is glacially slow at running VMs. (Dell R520; I have a same-generation server that is fine at VMs, so not sure what the root cause is). I wonder if this would help performance.
