You can also ssh into localhost as the user if you have that set up

‘Energy independent’ Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for four straight months (theprogressplaybook.com)

“with wind the single-biggest contributor… Power production costs have declined “by almost half” … And the clean energy sector has created 50,000 new jobs… Ask me what was the impact on the electricity sector in Uruguay after this tragic war in Europe — zero.”

No but electric motors and heat pumps are much more efficient so electfication helps reduce waste heat

Virulent ,

The power consumption is probably the peak power usage

That might be true for older cars that didn’t have good thermal management systems (like the old Nissan leaf) but not true anymore. Electric car batteries now regularly reach over 100k miles with only small degradation. If you baby it, it seems that 200k miles with only 10% range loss is to be expected now

We used to lift cities up to support sewer systems and now adding relatively simple infrastructure seems out of reach. Neoliberalism has completely ruined our ability to invest in public infrastructure

Hydrogen is terrible. It is much more expensive than even gasoline, adds way more complexity compared to all electric, and extremely inefficient. It’s a joke. It might make sense for semis in the future but will never make sense for passenger cars. The Mirai is a concept science experiment sold as a consumer car.

Batteries are expensive to replace right now but that’s only because we don’t have battery recycling infrastructure yet. Eventually they will be much cheaper to replace. Already, even factoring replacing the battery every 100k miles, electric cars are cheaper to own than gas and many batteries are known to last 200k+ miles. It really is only the Leaf that has the shitty battery that needs replacing.

I use this. Allows screensharing with audio over Wayland on discord.

Hi. Long time enterprise Linux admin here. Systemd is great and way, way better than sysvinit. I’ve also used openrc and i can say it is okay.

Sony’s music CDs would install a rootkit so the music couldn’t be copied

The mouse wheel dies before anything else

Superconductors can be used as very fast charging energy storage devices. Think a capacitor but with better energy storage than a battery. We could have electric cars that charge as fast as it takes to fill a gas tank and instantly charging electronic devices.

Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt (decrypt.co)

Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski’s style...

Not every human activity deserves compensation

Virulent ,

Even if that were true it wouldn’t apply to this situation. The man wants monopoly rights to his art style. That’s insane.

Virulent ,

Yes they can. DNS blocking doesn’t stop YouTube ads, for example. They could also force chrome to use their own DNS servers and use attestation to make sure you’re not bypassing that somehow

New pipe won’t work anymore if this is implemented
