Why should one give YouTube a second chance, though?

Which asks for captcha.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 1 week ago:
We are already running out of fossil fuels (particularly diesel) so that’s a given. If we are going to see significant green hydrogen generation, it will likely be in advanced dirigistic economies like China.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 1 week ago:
It is expensive though, so not a self runner in a free msrket economy.

zfs has been working nicely for me for many years, for diverse operating systems including zfs all-in-one for internal NFS mount.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 2 weeks ago:
Well, yeah, the hydrogen solution to build out renewable overcapacity and storing production surplus as green hydrogen in natural gas caverns is dead in the water. So private households better start budgeting for sodium-ion backup for hybrid solar inverters which are island and black start capable, for when planned load shedding events start.

You need a buffer with at least 60 TWh in case of Germany. There is no economic electrochemical energy storage system for that capacity.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 2 weeks ago:
Except you can’t power 24/7/365 with renewable alone, so you still need gas turbine backup.

Most vintage I have is a dual-socket 1U Sparc.

It would take hours to pull the servers from a mostly full full height rack. And then you’d get a bunch of heavy obsolete servers with zero resale value.

Which “professional edge” are they talking about?

Obviously, you host your own hypervisor on own or rented bare metal.

Please demonstrate working and economic terrestrial energy generation using He-3 fusion first.
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 2 weeks ago:
Technically you don’t need a smartphone. A tethered mobile device would do. For just cellular calls, there are dumbphones. That Youtube does or doesn’t work doesn’t concern me. They always ask to login on VPN which is always on for me. Thanks, just no.
- Comment on China connects its largest battery-supercapacitor hybrid storage plant - Energy Storage 3 weeks ago:
Supercapacitors are for stabilizing the grid, the batteries are for flattening the peaks/load-levelling at diurnal scale.

The trick is to buy dead tree and also download the same book from the usual online libraries.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Diesel generators run fine on heating oil, which is cheaper since no fuel tax and has longer shelf life.
- Comment on Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels? 3 weeks ago:
I made sure my last car I bought had no modem in it. This is going to get a lot harder for my next. I will be probably limited to the used vehicles market.

- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 5 weeks ago:
Na, 4K, even 1080p upscaled to 4K is significantly better thsn FullHD with a video projector.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 5 weeks ago:
You can use a pull-down screen attached to ceiling and a ceiling-mounted video projector. 4K is fine for that. I would not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 8K in such a setup.

GrapheneOS comes enirely Google free out of the box, including telemetry. It is also a reasonably secure mobile OS. You don’t get all that by just changing the launcher.

Can you still unlock the bootloader on Xiaomis? It was always a pain, but I’ve read they have completely locked them down now?

On GrapheneOS Play Services is sanboxed, so it cant affect other installation sources. It’s just one source of many.

You can use F-Droid and other install sources on alternative ROMs.

I use GrapheneOS on a Pixel tablet without any Google Play so that doesn’t affect me. On my Pixel phone Google Play is sandboxed. I expect however that Google will disable bootloader unlocking on future Pixel hardware.
