The middle bit is the part that is daunting to me. How do you jack in without the intermediary ISP. How does the upstream ISP jack in? Where's the source?

Absolutely stunning!

How would one go about establishing a WISP?

E: allow me to elaborate. I understood you meant to open your own WISP. Maybe I misunderstood, but if I haven't, I was wondering how one would go about doing this.

I see that you, too, bear scars of RAIDs.

Reminds me of this scenes from Ready Player One. Except, we don't have Holiday's ad restrictions.

Not really an emulator, though the end result is similar. WINE translates the instructions sent between the OS and software to languages each other understands. It's like a Babel Fish for Windows programs and the Linux OS.

Basically, they like to drink wine.

No. I'm kidding. WINE stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator, and it allows you to run Windows applications on a Linux machine. It's far from perfect, but it can be a lifesaver when switching from Windows to Linux. What user melpomenesclevage is trying to say, is that you can use WINE to significantly blunt the blow / daily usability learning curve when switching, to keep some of your familiar applications as is.

Edit: here's their site https://www.winehq.org/ the also explain it much better than I.

Hahahahah!!!

In case this wasn't a joke question, it's asking for my age, sex, and location.

I was on the fence, until I heard it's on Threads. Hard pass.

That's part of it. The other part, however, is more neglect than anything else. They dial in their grinder for the first batch, and that's it. Never again. That's fine for that batch and, sometimes the next, but it starts losing calibration after a while. Add that to the fact that each batch needs to be dialed in for pique flavor, and you get crappy, often times acidic or sour, pulls.
