  You write up a procedure for the setup of your server and any virtual machines contained within.

  Using declarative Distros makes the procedure shorter and easier to maintain in the long run.

  Then you use it to setup your system (fixing issues in your procedure along the way)

  Then wipe and do it again (this time should be done without issue or you may need another spin)

  Then slowly grow your documentation and what services you have running.

  The cost of hydrogen is not the fuel cells but that hydrogen is made from oil.

  Nuclear waste is 96-94% pure fuel.

  We need nuclear recycling NOT nuclear waste storage.

  If a mining company found a 94% pure ore in the ground, would they celebrate their luck or complain that it isn’t 100% pure and thus could be sold without processing…

  If nuclear energy used the same accounting practices as coal, oil or natural gas energy plants; they would have to pay their customers to hit zero profit.

  The problem is money, if they had stable funding they could go the library route of training and equipping people with the tools and skills without limits.

  But the models they work in don’t have that and they are just struggling to survive and do what good they can in the now.

  So you feel China is betting on Silicon and that the actual future is Gallium arsenide ?

  Because it has a direct band gap and at 1/50 of the thickness would be cheaper and more efficient than silicon?

  Tell us more about your field of solar research and what bit around it you think we might need to know about.

  ssh -X ${hostname} works better than both even on ancient hardware (pre 1990)

  If you are going to self-host please embrace a shell (bash, powershell, fish, zsh, etc) any shell; then you’ll be fast and productive even at 300 Baud.
