That's weird, especially with the exhaustive details you provided there. I've rarely had any connection issues with Google Pixel (7 currently) and Debian with Plasma 5 or 6 on x86 / 64 platforms.

Doubling capability every 18 months while halving in price, is not the opposite of 'compute capacity staying roughly the same from now on'.

We arrived in Kyoto last night, and a few hours ago (very briefly) visited the Nishiki markets the author mentions - can confirm that they were awful. Being middle aged Australians, we are definitely part of the problem described, but takin

I think perhaps you have misunderstood what a counterpoint is.

by Jedd 1y ago
Counterpoint - the best single thing you can do for the planet, in terms of minimising your consumption / ecological footprint, is to not spawn.

I find that people with strong, pro fission feelings, but no hard numbers, often preface their opinions on the matter with phrases like 'honestly' or 'objectively' or 'non idealogically'. Concentration of power

Being about 10,000 kilometres from the US, I can't conveniently look around there. I expect these guys had 'trees' on their risk register, and have suggested to the site owners to purchase a chainsaw / rent an excavator

You're coming up with some pretty flimsy reasons that this can't work, and that you believe the people funding, designing, and building these systems haven't contemplated -- such as 'trees'.

Indeed, I am definitely misremembering key parts of that story - the actions of the definite 'AI' SI's, at least. I wanted to - and still do - side-step spoilers, so I'll concede an error, and bump it back up my TB(r)R l

I adore Banks' universe, but recall reading some notes from him years ago, as tialaramex indicated, that 'all the interesting stuff happens at the edge' given utopias are, almost by definition, pretty tedious. Even though the

It's not the volume of the waste that's the challenge - it's handling and storage that remain mostly unsolved. By unsolved I mean - not convincingly solved, and certainly not yet tested over the expected duration that mat

Concur - as noted in a sibling comment, I'm using both on Nomad/docker 5-node clusters, but started with minio then ran up garage-dev to compare (I just haven't migrated data over from minio yet). I use mine primarily for lon

Do you actually need S3-alike? I run distribution [0] / registry [1] as a docker (via Nomad) job, and it just uses a shared nfs mount in my cluster - ie. EXT4 FS underneath. Currently has 12GB and 52 repositories, and is very performan

Does garage-dev have a GUI? I thought it did not. I'm using it in my lab, along with an older instance of minio, and both are excellent choices I think. (I'm running both as HA jobs within a Hashicorp Nomad cluster, which complica

Hmm - we're going to have to disagree about your confidence in the authorship of the book of John, because wikis from rational to pedia, and deeper tomes I've read on the subject, the consensus appears to be that 'we don&#x27

Book of John - you may be misinterpreting the claims of authorship / identity there. And 'the disciple whom Jesus loved' is probably not really self-identifying anyway. AIUI consensus is that it was written by a group of peo

I would imagine the spark arrestor is the first and least dangerous 'feature' to be removed by regular chainsaw users. It's a small oblong of fine stainless steel mesh that sits at the exhaust, prevents any large hot particle

Okay, I think you're in a different part of the world to me, then - I can generate about 85kWh in a day here, mid-summer, about 34 degrees south, and that's throttled by my 10kW inverter. I could go higher with a better inverter,

by Jedd 1y ago
Are your figures, notably 4-6 hours of generation, overlooking the potential for home battery owners to buy power in during off-peak (cheaper) periods, for either their own usage, or for selling back to the grid, at other times?

Excellent info - thank you. Yes, I've been through solarquotes.com.au a few times but haven't looked in earnest for some time. This is encouraging information. I know my usage can easily be 15-20kWh in a day, and I can get a week

I'm in NSW - curious on what you got, what subsidy/ies you were able to obtain. I'd previously looked into this and it sounded like a package was required - PVC + battery - whereas I've already got 10kW inverter + 12kW p

In Australia it's common to have Time of Usage (ToU) billing. Figures depend on provider and plan, but sometimes cheap (as per parent's 6c / kWh), but during the midday to 6pm range it may be up to 60c. So, grid rates aren&#x

Oh, I overlooked that bit. The math on the 'if costs keep rising' bit of the story would take a hefty amount of (the bad type of) oversight to get to that figure per developer, yes.
