Easily to remember, kind of like Geek Squad, but more countrified..

If I had a reliable enough internet connection at a reasonable cost, I'd try it!

Figure that since it is a hosting question site, and a lot of people use Linux for their OS, we'd be a Tux based avatar site.
The gallery plug-in for the site takes over being able to upload personal avatars - which I really don't mind as I have seen some inappropriate ones in the past by people.
So, there are (currently) 87 Tux avatar options for any users to select in addition to the default one.
These are some I had when I ran my Now Serving Linux website before I lost interest in helping out others after getting burned out by XF users demanding (not asking) to be helped.
Just a small sample.

One of my favorite things about Linux (besides the stability) was the Tux characters.
For computer geeks, it will probably be recognized 100 years from now.

Not fast enough pipe.Starlink goes anywhere
I get as fast now from my cable provider. But you want true bi-directional speeds with minimal ping times.
Starlink is great for a remote observatory, but not something I would want to run a server off of. And by the time you pay for the "business class" you can usually easily have true fiber ran to your location and pay the monthly fee unless you are in BFE.
