The machines might still end up being eaten by giant alien bugs due to the power outage shutting down automated defenses. :)

Fedora Server uses XFS on LVM by default & you can do CoW with any modern filesystem on top of an LVM thin pool. And there is also the Stratis project Red Hat is involved in: https://stratis-storage.github.io/

The ZFS license makes it impossible to include in upstream Linux kernel, which makes it much less usable as primary filesystem.

I am not really sure but isnt depleted uranium munition kida obsolete by this point ? It was used mostly in unguided kinetic tank shells and autocannon ammo. But most of the destroyed russiant tanks in Ukraine are due to mines and guided mu

Well, at least Shunkan did not return in the end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunkan But he did became famous and kinda imortalized in Japanese culture thanks to that.

What if you end up with a picture of the record & everything else gets lost - that riddle will still work. Say the civilisation that found it collapses & leaves behind some garbled data, including a picture of the record. Or even fu

Sailfish OS works fine. :)

Have been running Sailfish OS on my primary phone since 2013 - works fine. Avoids a lot of the Android pitfalls, like being abble to easily SSH in and upload/backup data or total absence of advertizing anywhere. :)

While habitats are definitely the way to go long term (planets are just sooo inefficient!), Mars still has some useful features: - while the atmosphere/graviti combination is a bit annyoing, the atmosphere still enables some nice prope

Some Intel N100/N105 board from Aliexpress with Fedora or Debian on top should be fine & much more flexible if you decided you want more than just a file server.

I have seen it happen a few times, but it does not seem to happen very often. I don't think I ever saw it happen when riding a trolley bus - usually I saw a stopped trolleybus with the driver stepping out & reatacching the collecto

Thats the genial thing about trolleybuses with batteries - there is alread a substantial city wide charging network, that is even distributed and enables on-the-go charging. :) Sure, for regular battery buses without trolley collectors, ind

That started showing up maybe ~5 years ago ? Googling a bit I found this article about the first series produced parcial trolley busses (eq. battery equiped) being delivered in 2018: https://www.bmhd.cz/aktuality/aktual

I'm not really sure there is any place for a discussion - you would need a whole new infrastructure for hydrogen powered buses, while keeping a lot of the downsides of fossil fueled air breathing vehicles (eq. air filters filters regar

Might be interesting to compare with the Mitsubishi Pencil & Tombow factories in Japan. :)

Yeah! What are they going to do next - call a programming language "go" or something ? Even Google would not be that stupid - imaging Googling for that and getting only irrelevant stuff!

I think drone based delivery is a solved problem by now, thanks to the very rapid developments in the last 2 years ? Some of the drones are now even fiber optic guided and thus resistant to jamming by the competition!

And all of that at the same time! ;-)

It would make an interesting plot point - like the main characters discovering the no-development stasis is artificially maintained. Or alternatively that there is an illusion of progress, yen thing never actually change for some reason.

For the record basically all of Shinkansen in Japan is new standard gauge rail, as "normal" trains in Japan are narrow gauge. And they still manage. In some places you might have shinkansen, multiple private narrow gauge network

The Worldwar series from Harry Turtledove plays this from an alien perspective. A big, powerful and very stable alien empire sends a probe to Earth, the probe sees knights fighting on horseback. Perfect, our next target! When their sublight
