> A Debian+KDE is great for non-technical end users

I really want to like KDE but it just feels unstable and janky. I don't do much customization, just dark theme and arrange the bar to remove most plugins and set their positions. These settings are sometimes reset after reboot and I'd have to rearrange the bar.

Probably a me problem, but a non-technical user moving to Linux will blame Linux for this and not KDE. If I suggest Linux to anyone Gnome is my first choice unless I know they want to tweak their DE. I guess the distros have similar reasons. Breakage between versions is better than reboots.
the UI issue is being solved, both natively for/by mastodon itself, but most important, there is ELK which kind of put the whole UI of mastodon is not good several leaps forward.

What needs to change in terms of UI now is how any client interact with remote servers or how you can interact in your browser with the handle of someone else on his blog or any places that say "follow me on mastoodn", but really think that https://ELK.zone does a great job at improving mastodon UI already.
Doesn't China already lead in many areas of renewables including wind and solar deployments and manufacturing? https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/china-widens-ren...

The point of an IP4v2 (to borrow your naming convention) address is that because it's prefixed with an IP4v1 address, then it can still get somewhere useful if an intervening router or even the destination gateway doesn't understand IP4v2.

Think of IP4v2 as essentially embedding a NAT field into the IP header.

This might work or it might not in any given circumstance but the path to make it work is a lot more straightforward.

As for the routing table size issue, it's not really an issue at all. Assuming extra octets, a /24 block holds 16M addresses instead of 256 (or 254 realistically). You don't need a larger routing table.

This would also allow an organization that might've had a /16 or /8 block or multiple blocks to get by with 1 (or a few) /24 blocks, allowing you to reclaim blocks without making external routing tables any larger.
At some point someone needs to have the balls to create and push a better language than JS in the browser. It's a huge and scary undertaking, but until it happens we are firmly in transpile/good language -> WASM land for the foreseeable future.

If the goal was to prove someone saw the GPL, then the entire license enforcement mechanism wouldn't be in the kernel.

If enough symbols get restricted without valid copyright-based reasons, modules that legitimately have non-GPL licenses will have to lie to the kernel to get loaded. And that's a stupid situation all around.

> Code written using threads is, at least to me, much more readable and easier to reason about.

It's “easier” because it lies to you and makes you assume that everything is sequential, but it's not, and sometime that “everything is sequential” abstraction is leaky, and you can't really see what's going on without diving to the bottom of every functions.

I've been accustomed so much to the transparency of async/await, that I now whish we had the same kind of thing for functions using blocking syscalls (for instance you could annotate the function with the `blocking` keyword and need to use `block` to call it) so you known you need to spawn a new thread if you don't want to wait until the completion of some I/O-bound function.
Given the lower amount of energy generated by coal compared to when the nuclear plants were still running, it would be more accurate to say that they were replaced by solar and wind power since they are the only forms of energy creation that increased their output since nuclear was shut down.

And also by buying electricity from Sweden, which causes my bills to explode. (Because we've also shuttered half of our nuclear facilities.) So when Germany buys enough, we start our oil powerplants to cover :)

It's not a currency, it's a resource. Mistaking resources for a currency results in bad outcomes, which is why e.g. "gold" was a bad idea as a world currency. We need gold to make stuff, it's a resource.

In fact v4 addresses are not even just an ordinary resource, they're very like Real Estate aka Real Property, or "land". There's a finite amount of it, we can't do anything about that - to some extent it's effectively "occupied" already in many cases, so an imagined "property right" doesn't trump that in practice, and it's very much not fungible.

Living in Germany is leaving any big city and seeing loads of wind turbines everywhere.

I know very little of its economics, like that it typically takes 7 years to pay it back and lasts 20-25 years, but looks like a good way to generate renewable energy and will likely soon take Germany to 100%.

It's a goal for the government and for many years it has been pushing forward. I dislike many things here, but I can't say I don't admire the country's ability to execute on this and other subjects.

I really don't get why the US and other strong countries don't invest as much on it.

There is some environmental impact(birds etc) and downsides, but overall looks like one of the best ways to generate energy until we have fusion energy. Also creates many jobs.

Bit not in the way people would anticipate.

According to the modeling of the Fraunhofer (base assumption), we will need to double our capacity from gas (yay), double renewables to eventually achieve twice the carbon footprint of France by 2030. The base load is so high in Germany and renewables are so unreliable, that we need >100% installed capacity from “conventional” sources. The storage and “smart grid” is not really feasible or likely to happen imho.

This is akin to throwing water over an oil pan fire, then being frustrated at the water for your house burning down.

You need to either use the Typescript way throughout your dev process, or not use Typescript. Both of those options are valid, but you're currently doing half of both, resulting in unnecessary frustrations.
Isn't this an advantage?

Why should a rich country keep its industry and salaries flat for so long?
In practice all large enough transformers will have protective equipment to disconnect them from the grid in conditions of overcurrent, such as might be caused by exceptionally severe solar storms or nuclear EMPs. This has its own downsides (turning on the grid from scratch is an extremely complex operation as power plants themselves need electricity to operate) but the risk of a substation transformer exploding as a result from incorrect line voltage is minuscule IMO.

It is possible that smaller control equipment might fail as those are usually more fragile electromagnetically speaking, but once again that would be a problem for getting power back online, not in the "transformer explodes" kind of way.

The UK public are extremely conservative, and extremely misinformed by conservative news sources. That's at the root of a lot of the demand for authoritarianism.

The wind turbines are only there to hide the giant, coal-powered power plants that Germany had to restart because the tree-huggers who run that country decided to ditch nuclear.

I very much doubt the veracity of this article.
It is not viable, because renewables do not provide basic load for the grid. It is "stochastical" energy. There are no economical viable ways to store that "random" energy. There are several times in the year, where there is not enough wind and sun to feed the grid.

The issue in Germany is that this transition is expensive, even more so after 16 years of decay of everything from the past coalitions.

And that makes the current coalition unpopular, along with an eternaly bickering liberals(in nothing but name) trying to block any spending. Add onto that Conservative tabloids continously firing against green with every scrap they can get, and we're looking at fascists polling over 30%.

I I fear that the scraps of progress the current government achieves will be rolled back by a fascist+ Conservative coalition in three years...
> The NTSB would have called it out if that were the case.

If there’s protracted conversation unrelated to the safe operation of flight, apparently agitated conversation, being conducted during a critical phase of flight, it seems odd that the official report would not mention what led the NTSB to exclude psychological factors and/or cockpit distractions as a contributing factor. But I don’t read these reports frequently; so maybe that’s not how they are structured. I imagined that they were structured like scientific papers where the conclusions typically anticipate reviewers’ critiques and dealt with them in advance. Then again, there’s no intent of peer review here.

You already need that really. A grid going at 70% generation capacity is already considered overloaded.

Nowadays it is the remaining device that still has GNU/Linux on it, mostly because it is an aging netbook and I can't be bothered to install anything else on it before it dies.

Oh stop fearmongering. "A tendency of catching on fire" makes it sound like that happens every week. Fires in substation transformers are extremely rare and any given transformer is unlikely to see any significant incident in its rated life.

Of course if one gets hits by a meteorite and catches fire then keep a safe distance. Definitely more than 15 feet. In normal operation they are extremely safe though.
You mean Firefox is a good fit for a snap due to security reasons? In that case they should've made the experience seamless, and provide the same functionality you get when using Firefox from the deb or the tarball, before pushing it like that.

Yeah the naivety and/or selfishness of folks wishing to be immortal is beyond me, something about primary school math lessons skipped. I do hope they are not parents (at least yet). I can accept it in some form once we reach other stars, but not in this century and definitely not in next one neither.

First of all, such technology would be usurped by dictators for dictators only. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Putin and endless stream of other pathetic figures, they all desperately clinged to life and would burn this world to the ashes 1000x over just to stay immortal. I can't imagine how we could avoid global semi-permanent slavery, not with actual real human nature that we see manifested in the news every day. Its fine if you wouldn't use it malevolently, that says nothing about more capable and more sinister individuals who are out there in numbers you probably would have hard time accepting.

Second, where do we put all those folks if we actually achieve some hippie paradise? How do we feed them? Concept of individual ownership goes very much against this. The opposite is communism, which has 100% failure rate, and we tested it already on few hundred millions, no thank you. You have to live through it to see and feel its failures in their many aspects to understand, I did and never ever want that back in any form.

stupid question: are the limitations testable in an assert to reduce the risks?
Germany actually replaced the nuclear energy with wind & solar. The argument that remains is that instead of phasing out nuclear, reducing coal would have been preferred. The decision to phase out nuclear has long been made (for good reasons). Keeping them active or even building new reactors of that kind is not an economically viable solution. The price Germany pays for this is higher carbon emissions for the time being until renewables push coal out of the mix. What Germany gains, on the other hand, is the removal of the most expensive form of energy from its production and one big step towards a fully renewable and modern electricity grid.
I'd wager highway expansion poses a much larger risk. Those are everywhere.

I have a 3gbps fiber link straight to my house. The only machines in the house that can use anything close to it are the ones that hook up to my USB-C docking station which has a 2.5gbps ethernet port. Everything else is WiFi speeds.
