But who’s the self getting owned? In this case it’s the us
China deserves a lot of credit for intelligent investments and guiding their market. But let’s not forget the US deserves some credit for this as well: literally throwing out its advantages for the future, refusing to even try competing, and pushing the world to Chinese companies.
Hosting email just saved the day! My ex got locked out of her email account and password resets were blocked. However she still had one “home” forwarding email configured as a recovery address, so we were able to redirect it somewhere accessible and unlock her email account!

Hah, my lab is mostly a bunch of raspberry pi’s screwed to a wall
I always thought this was an argument for properly racking everything. If it takes more effort, more time to remove, maybe they won’t bother.
My understanding is that for most individuals, theft is mainly
I do have outside cameras but they’re not as useful as you’d think. Maybe they have some deterrent value but they’re not going to alert anyone fast enough unless they’re already in the house and you’re not going to identify anyone even if you catch a good shot of their face. If the do catch someone, perhaps the video is enough to say, yep
For my use case, I’m continually fiddling with my VM config. That’s my playground, not just the services hosted there. I want home assistant to always be available so it can’t be there.
I suppose I could have a “production “ vm server that I keep stable, separately from my “dev” vm server but that would be more effort. Maybe it’s simply that I don’t have many services I want to treat as production, so the physical hardware is the cheapest and easiest option
Plus a little pollution.
Same here. In particular I like small cheap hardware to act as appliances, and have several raspberry pi.
My example is home assistant. Deploying on its own hardware means an officially supported management layer, which makes my life easier. It is actually running containers but i don’t have to deal with that. It also needs to be always available so i use efficient “right sized” hardware and it works regardless whether im futzing with my “lab”
Regardless, I don’t think anyone expected fusion soon enough to help with the climate crisis. Hopefully it will be there to continue to grow our society for the future, but we have to have human contribution to climate change effectively solved more quickly than we could get fusion.
Maybe it will help us stay in the green for the century or two it takes the climate to recover, assuming we haven’t passed any tipping points
Speaking as a “proud” American, we are not second worse. We are worst overall. We’re number one! WERE NUMBER ONE!
The sole remaining factor is heating in winter. Which can not be solved by better battery storage
My parents house used to have thermal storage heating which seemed to work well. Each room had what looked like a standard sized radiator that stored heat, much more cheaply than a battery: nothing toxic, nothing expendable, nothing expensive. Overnight when rates were low, the unit heated up. During the day when rates were high, we just needed a small circulation fan to keep room temperature consistent with almost no power use.
I just had to get a new heat pump installed and looked for similar functionality but it doesn’t seem to exist.
Thermal storage heat would make a huge difference in shifting power usage from heating to account for factors like solar energy, and it would be much cheaper than batteries.
A prerequisite has to be smart appliances, and not in the current sense of a great way to milk more money from a customer through advertising and lock-in.
My thermostat, dishwasher, washer, dryer, car charger have timers so I can schedule them overnight (typical for cheaper electricity in the past, before solar). But other appliances don’t, and none can respond to less predictable changes in rates.
Do standard solar installs have the smarts to trigger appliances based on what they’re generating? Most of them are “smart” but they’ll only talk about monitoring and bill paying. I’ve been trying to find that out all summer but solar providers don’t know or are otherwise unable to answer.
I’m all for dynamic pricing of electricity but we don’t have the appliance intelligence to support it. That can take decades to roll out so we need to nail this down NOW
As a great example of the importance of grid upgrades ……
Massachusetts has some of the highest electricity rates in the country. Despite our climate we’re committed to renewables, electrification, reducing carbon emissions, etc, and despite those electricity rates. But we had a deal to buy craploads of cheap clean hydropower from Canada …. Everyone benefits …. But couldn’t get the grid upgrades to carry it. Being unable to get grid upgrades means we pay more for electricity, we pollute more, Canadians don’t get the profit
Getting to 95% non-nuclear renewable is relatively easy. It’s much harder to get that last 5%, but as you say, we don’t actually have to go to zero carbon emissions.
Yeah, I don’t see why this isn’t a good end goal. 95% non-nuclear renewable, including storage. Supposedly we can do this cheaper than the current grid and with today’s technology.
Would it really be so bad to have natural gas peaker plants for the rest? The problem is it’s not a consistent 5% but that 5% of the year and you can’t really keep up, assuming affordable renewables and storage buildout. Natural gas is good at powering up on demand, instead of wanting to be on continually.
So we’re still emitting carbon, but much much less than today. Maybe we can add it to the pile of things that will be tough to convert, like shipping, aviation, metal refining, plastics

I hope it was an external prank. This is too likely an internal job, which narrows the list if suspects a lot
