No, it's an impossible equation. Germany cannot win this game without nuclear, barring an unlikely huge breakthrough in battery storage real soon. Because of renewables' intermittency, there's an upper limit on how much you c

Unfortunately that is a wrong impression. Electricitymaps is correct regarding Germany's CO2 emissions. It has nothing to do with the country's population and industry size, because these figures are the CO2 emitted per kWh of ele

What may not be widely known is that going from 256GB -> 512GB on M2-based machines also gives the SSD a huge speed bump, because 512GB is made up of 2x256GB chips with dual channels. Apple uses a single chip for 256GB configurations as

The original Plain Language Summary for this review stated that 'We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed.' This wording wa

IIRC the absolute risk of long Covid is 7-15% per infection , which is anything but very small.

Besides being free software, how does this differ from Tailscale ?

by renaudg 3y ago
Oh absolutely, I agree with that. Mass electrification of travel + low carbon production is a winning combination (and it's going to be a headache for countries like Germany)

Yes and no, IIRC the second busiest airport in France is actually Nice (NCE) on the French Riviera.

The sad part is that this move is hailed as a major win but really is a drop in the ocean. I've read somewhere that Germany closing its last nuclear power plant will raise Europe's CO2 emissions by more than all of the country&#x2

Paris CDG and Lyon LYS are the only airports in France I can think of with a built-in mainline train station. And the schedules are much less convenient than those in city-centre stations.

No, especially in the past few weeks since Germany went ahead and closed its last nuclear power, France's electricity has really been 10-30x less carbon intensive most of the time. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map

Not really : France is exporting electricity most of the time, with a carbon intensity that's indeed typically 10-30x lower than Germany's See https://app.electricitymaps.com/map

Assuming that the only alternative to air travel in Europe is to drive wins "most American comment of the day" for sure :)

If you care about your carbon footprint, hosting in Germany (where Hetzner has most of its DCs) is unfortunately not a great option. France (OVH), Sweden, Norway, and (usually) Switzerland are much better (thanks to nuclear for France, and

I considered that as well, but price-wise you're now getting into Mac Studio territory, and it's not clear at all which of the two comes out on top. So I'll wait for benchmarks. I can recommend the MaxTech channel on Youtube

If you're the sort of person who needs 3 monitors on their Mini, I'm sure you can afford a Thunderbolt dock. Four TB4 ports is plenty for 99% of people.

No offense but this stance reminds me of telco people deriding the "best effort" Internet for serious commercial applications 20 years ago. A professor of mine was adamant VoIP would never take off because it just didn't work

I was around in 2000. It had the failed startups but it didn't have inflation, war, and a pandemic. Long Covid alone is going to hamper any economic recovery. It's a mass disabling event. The sooner we recognize this and start tac
