I love disconnecting and spending time in remote wildernesses. But paradoxically, being disconnected from technology gives me a lot of anxiety about technology. Working on devops roles over the last decade, I&amp;#x27;ve almost never had a time when I can just forget about it all. Even when I&amp;#x27;m not on call, and no matter how well I try to document things, I&amp;#x27;m often the one with the answers. When things break, I need to be able to step in. Being able to go off the grid, while still being able to step in when SHTF, would increase my quality of life significantly.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Elon Musk tweets using SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet</title><url>https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/22/elon-musk-tweets-using-spacexs-starlink-satellite-internet/</url></story>
