- Comment on Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclear 1 week ago:
What’s the exclusion zone of rare earth mines ? Of the terrible chemicals required to extract those products ? Same question with the batteries. What’s the impact of the shade on agriculture ? How about all the steel, concrete and composites on the environment, how do they degrade ? Is it in micro plastics ?
I didn’t say nuclear energy was good, just that solar panels are worse. The perfect energy source doesn’t exist but currently all the data I’ve come across points to the direction that nuclear is significantly better than all other renewables and don’t require significant battery storage.
Also if anti-science ecologists hadn’t blocked so many fast neutron reactors, we’d be further along to a tech that can burn existing thorium stockpiles for 8000 years without further mining and while producing significantly less dangerous waste than current reactors. I guess we’ll just buy the design from China and Russia who didn’t stop the research and have currently operating reactors right now.

Even for offshore wind, you gotta add the necessary battery capacity for a reliable power grid…

I’m using table 1.
PV panels alone produce 43g/kWh, batteries 33.
Nuclear (light-water or pressurized) are at 12.
We’re talking complete life cycle analyses.

This is still more polluting to mine than going nuclear, even accounting for nuclear waste.
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 2 weeks ago:
You’re right, although I’d be considering narrower cards and maybe blowers. This is a server build, not a main rig. So I’d get a GPU that’s as close as possible to a glorified encoder ad possible and pocket the power savings. I don’t have ac where I live…

If going m-atx, there’d be enough pcie slots to get a cheap SFP+ 10G nic or better, tho…
I’ll look at the jonsbo stuff tho, thanks !
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 2 weeks ago:
If OP need compactness, maybe micro atx or mini itx could help.

I can’t wait for the match group to buy them and make them just shitty enough that the couples think they’ll vibe but won’t actually work out.
I hate capitalism.

I’m a little jealous of you guys, but we have mostly maxed out our potential in Europe for hydro power already…

France has taken away electricity subventions a long time ago, they were temporary relief during COVID only.
In fact, there are pretty high taxes here too, just the base cost is lower.
And I started this debate to challenge the notion that all of Europe doesn’t have as unreasonable prices as Germany does.

Judges you French 0.20€/kWh nuclear prices
If only you guys had listened to the science…

That’s why I started my sentence with “In Europe”

Geopolitics. Coal is available in tons of places and cheap to use and extract.

I mean, he agreed with trump on big tech being… As a FOSS defender, I don’t particularly mind.
If he had been agreeing with Trump on immigration, the economy, the law or hairstyle, it would be an actual issue but I don’t mind this. I would have hoped for it to have been another president to take them on, naturally, but still.
A broken clock is right twice a day. It’s time we remind republicans we are the side of reason, logic and science.
- Comment on Proton 3 months ago:
What policy is it?
I’m saddened by the amount of partisanism in the US these days. It’s not because an idea is republican that it’s bad, it’s because these days, 99% of them are terrible and that most of them don’t give a single flying fuck about science…

It might work still if some of the surface is still okay, but you should stop poking at it with sharp things…
- Comment on Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all? 3 months ago:
A sharp blade sounds like a terrible idea: the surface of the sensor needs to be optically flat, the sensor needs to SEE the surface it’s used on… I wouldn’t trust myself not to scratch it with a sharp object.

And the sensor I talked about?
