Exactly. I'm not trying to bash Ruby, but I haven't done any programming with it for about 6 years. I just want to get some web thing running on my home server, or get some gems installed for Compass or whatever (which to be fair

That's all true, but I think that's a more normal case than it might seem. I've been running IPv6 on Comcast for two years using one of their recommended Motorola (Arris) Surfboard modems and an Airport Extreme, and didn&#x27

I don't think so, Comcast residential is dual-stack nowadays so that would be significant traffic.

Right, it is considered to be a flavor of Unix. But OS X has nothing to do with Linux other than a common ancestor.

Having run my own email server about a decade ago I can kind of understand why they are just rejecting things. Dealing with spam for even just a handful of domains was a nightmare.

Sure, it doesn't have to be large scale. But you brought it up as a replacement for base load nuclear, which small-scale pumped storage isn't going to do.

Utility-scale battery storage could definitely be an option, but batteries can be pretty nasty themselves. The alternatives like I mentioned (molten salt for solar, etc) need to be scaled up and could provide similar capacity.

Hydro's problem (along with wind and solar) is transmission requirements. Not everyone lives near a location where hydro is feasible. It's also not particularly environmentally friendly to dam rivers everywhere. Some of the wave-a

by karlshea 11y ago
Because we need to get off of fossil fuels and wind/solar is intermittent, so it can't provide base load power without huge numbers of batteries or other technology that hasn't scaled up yet (e.g. molten salt/flywheels).
