Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.

Its like the video showing firefighters struggling a lot to break the window of the Tesla pickup. That's not a praiseworthy thing. You want the windows to break easily enough you can get out in an emergency, or someone can break in to get you out.

It's also just a generally bad idea to be too dependent on a single system. If GPS reception fails for one reason or another, it would be good idea to have a backup.

Dot matrix is also an option, if they neither want to bother with toner, nor inkjet.

Any particular reason for going thermal? Personally, I'd recomnend against them, since thermal paper is coated with BPA, and that can come off and might have health effects if ingested.

The original rationale for not having editing, at least on Reddit and Twitter, was concerns that someone could get a viral post, and then edit it to spam.

That's not an impossible thing with Lemmy, though we're not big enough for it to be worth spamming to, for the most part.

Neither a phone nor website would work if your phone battery is flat. The meter should at least have a way for someone to park their car if they don't have a functioning phone, or internet access, even before the hellscape of needing a separate app for everything.

. (Actually, it's worse than that. Ask me if you want to know. It's its own rant.)

Mind enlightening us? It could be useful to compare against, for those of us who haven't used those kinds of apps before.
