U.S. Air Force Selects Fast Microreactor for Nuclear Power Pilot (www.powermag.com)

The Defense of Logistics Agency (DLA), acting on behalf of the Department of Air Force (DAF), on Aug. 31 issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) that selects the Santa Clara, California–based nuclear technology firm’s Aurora Powerhouse for its Eielson Air Force Base pilot and initiates an acquisition process to...

Agreed. Nuclear is great at providing a constant baseload that renewable energy can supplement. Combine with some form of energy storage to store the excess energy generated and you gain the ability to cope with rapid changes in demand as nuclear has a much slower ramp up/down time. Some countries are doing this already with their battery stores.

We have reactors from the 90s, so called generation III reactors, that have passive safety features that make them as safe as we realistically can. These 'traditional' designs or more modern gen III+, either are good options to build.

I quite like the ideas that Oklo have put forward with their liquid metal reactors that safe automatically should coolant flow stop. In a similar vein, pebble bed reactors can also offer similar fail-safe systems. Ultimately if they can bridge the gap until we figure out fusion which some very exciting advancements have been made in recently, even if still decades away is still within the life span of current nuclear reactors. Then our possibilities are limitless.

As for a timeframe? Yesterday would be a good start... I think they should have already been built and that much of the scare mongering regarding nuclear energy has in many ways exacerbated our present situation. The inherent fear that people have needs to be reduced before it is even anything more than a pipedream. The reality is that nuclear power takes huge investment and lots of time to build while also being a political football. But at the same time there are very few, if any, renewable sources that can provide as consistent power.

People who back into parking spots: Why?

To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you...

Especially in tight carparks, it's much easier to get both in and out with a large vehicle. Plus you can see much better which on a car with no reverse camera is a big plus.

[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....

Because that's how most people are taught.

You can use PowerShell to do more than the GUI can most of the time. Both locally and remotely.

As one of those Windows admins who uses all of these things, I'd have to say it can't quite possibly be all of them...

At what level do ISPs control ports?

I’m aware most ISPs do not allow for port 25 to be open for email use outside of business licenses, but at what level is that controlled? Can I get around that by owning my own router? Owning my own modem or ONT? Or is this just a thing they mystically control further up the pipeline that a relative layman such as myself...

For a small business, a service such as GoogleApps or Microsoft365 is likely going to be a cheaper solution than self hosting this. Plus including productivity applications and cloud storage as part of the package in most instances.

It will be much, much safer as well. If you're unsure of how to do this, do not do it yourself. Setup a home lab, sure. Use it to learn but do not run your business this way!
