We save in stability: p.v. and co vary it's output far quicker than classic big power plant, this means that on grid we have more and more frequency stability issues. To compensate we need a smart grid witch is an IT nightmare and in a

The real MUA issue is that for some reasons they are stuck in a deep past. The sole modern MUA we have are not for generic users, like notmuch (-emacs or some other frontend) and mu. We need something offering: - searching like notmuch&#x2F

A personal take: the point for SMRs it's not costs nor potential mass-production and so on but a simple thing, they can be moved. We are in a changing world, we know, at least some of us know, we don't really know the future, but

For me the point is not privacy, simply this war is lost. The point for me is data availability, I do want to own my data. So for emails and service I do own my domain name, so I can change third parties services, if I use any (email) in a

The point is not the productivity, the point is giving something to workers in exchange NOT pretending WFH, for me the answer is NO. In 2024 all jobs done at a desk should be REMOTE, I do not care about how many days per weeks or hours per

Well, not yours. I mean, in most countries you can own a flat BUT you own just the unit, not the soil. A home on ground it's your property, you can rebuild it as much as you want (with eventual limitations from local norms, in terms of
