My major gripe with dokku is that there is no way to define the configuration in a file rather than executing the commands manually. Otherwise: totally agree, great tool for self hosting.

Given that there are roughly 500 reactors in operation and they last up to 40-50 years, this is just keeping the status quo. The share of nuclear electricity has been slipping.

If 350bn is all we need to cut our emissions in Germany (we have a 4000bn annual GDP) by 75%, then I don't get what the big fuss about climate change is. Every industrial country could cough up such small an amount (loan, Fed printing

The overprovisioning of solar is going to create so much cheap surplus energy during summer and during the day that it will be very interesting which applications will come up to consume it.

The key failure is that despite the IPv6 transition we don't have static IPs at home and can start hosting servers at home. Certainly this requires a lot of progress to secure the IOT space, but we can allow the enshitification of clou

I am sorry to say that I don't understand why solar without battery and solar+battery leads to different cost for firming in the Lazard. Shouldn't solar with battery already be pretty firm? Remember we primarily want to reduce car

Part of why the Energiewende was expensive was that it provided long term financial incentives for those who invested in renewables when they weren't yet economically competitive. If you bought solar panels 20 years ago you received su

The quotas just need to trend down. The faster the better. People just have to realize how cheap Co2 certificates are and that to fight climate change we need to spend max 5% of GDP annually.

Absolutely right! It isn't really clear that fundamental and drastic changes to lifestyle is needed. It just needs some investment in climate friendly energy technologies. On the order of 100-200 trillion USD. Which is roughly 100-200%
