The costs used for wind/solar energy never included the cost of the required buffer storage, and even the rare few people who include that never factor in frequency stability which to this day is maintained by the giant steam turbines everyone wants to get rid of. It will not be trivial to solve the frequency stability problem; it will likely require massive investment in pumped water storage, flywheel storage, or nuclear energy, and these costs once finally included in the real cost of wind/solar will hurt its value prospect considerably.

As for nuclear waste: the overwhelming majority of nuclear waste generated over the lifetime of a reactor is stored onsite. Only the smallest amount of material is what will actually remain dangerous for a long time, and many countries have already solved this problem. It’s a seriously overstated problem repeated by renewable-purists who usually haven’t even considered how much frequency stability and grid-level storage have and will add to the cost of renewables, meaning they have not given a full accounting of the situation.

The curse of Private-Public Partnerships (P3s) means middle-men sapping all the value out of long-term government projects. We simply cannot trust these organizations with our energy infrastructure.

I mean at that point just call it Bleed lol

Paper without some sort of code to hide what’s happening isn’t much better, considering if something ever happens you could get searched.

I keep critical applications running at work that thousands depend on. While I was at a union convention, one of my apps broke. I had to login that day and fix it while going over the budget with other members.

This is how the IT world is. I’m the only person capable of maintaining it and I must be available if things go wrong. The show must go on.

Baudrillard strikes again.

Like many things, people hate it because of its associations with other things. They will happily throw it out even if it has good uses. Here have some spicy examples:

Some people experience gender dysphoria and may benefit from medical intervention? Nah it got abused by ideological idiots so it must always be bad. Karl Marx says workers must arm themselves? Nah guns are bad, I know this because rightoids like them.

It’s like when Bush Jr. pushed for the adoption of reading programs across America that focused on phonics, so people took a rebellious stance and taught kids “balanced reading” which taught kids to memorize words rather than the sounds that make up words.

The result: an epidemic of illiteracy to own the Republicans. Bush was/is a warmongering piece of shit but he was right about phonics being the correct way to learn reading.

I’ve never seen self-proclaimed leftists hurl more vitriol than when an openly-socialist labor organizer in my union said they were for freedom of speech (for humans) and generally supportive of firearm ownership. Absolutely wild reaction.

mansplaining is a made-up idea lol

Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable.

As a man I’ve been told no one wants my opinion since the 2000s so I’m not sure where you’re getting this from.

It doesn’t help that the Rust community tends to bring extremely divisive politics with it in places and ways that just don’t need to happen, starting battles that aren’t even tangentially related to programming.

The alternative is to just keep getting fucked by Microsoft…

no u

The communities are very small on Lemmy, I gave search terms to use here and elsewhere instead. Also I just can’t be assed to link them.

It’s such bullshit too because drastically changing someone’s working conditions is clearly a constructive dismissal and should lead to severance payments.

Sounds like you want smart devices, wearables, DIY electronics, home assistant, etc… “Technology” communities are pretty much always about the tech community and not the actual tech itself.

Yeah Intel really needs to recall these things. This shit isn’t right.

Those are tough requirements to meet, I’m not sure there is a low power CPU that can do it all. You would likely need to cluster some devices but that means you need a separate NAS anyway and that kind of defeats the purpose for your case.

It will put it into “safe” parameters, but I mean you should give it an additional undervolt to increase its longevity.
