Until something is Any or Unknown and everything stops working

Yeah this is usually where we’d have italics come in to help. Doesn’t work when it’s plaintext but oh well.

i.e. Rising costs forcing 3m UK households to skip meals, Which? report finds

Yeah very outdated, newer benchmarks show CachyOS performs even better now, but still not significantly better in day-to-day use

Yeah it feels like most people on MCC multiplayer have been playing for longer than I’ve been alive, snipers especially. Luckily the other modes are a little better, so you can deselect snipers and play something else. Or just play firefight like I do lol

I’m not letting this misinformation without any citations go uncontested. I’ll try to cite my claims but really the burden of proof lies with you, so I shouldn’t have needed to do this in the first place.

Solar is highly unreliable,

Sure, weather conditions can vary the power output of PV cells (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X23006734). This is why batteries are typically built with them, which usually completely solves this problem.

requires endless mining of non renewable materials,

One of many double standards here. This is correct, metals like silver and copper are needed to make cells (https://blog.ucs.org/charlie-hoffs/mining-raw-materials-for-solar-panels-problems-and-solutions/), but they are minor components and are one-time costs. The same goes for batteries, although they need quite a bit of lithium. But are we going to ignore the fact that uranium is also a non-renewable material? And since it’s a fuel, this is the material that is truly endlessly mined. One-time uses of mined materials is far better than continuously mining (and refining) uranium to power these reactors.

takes up insane amounts of space to make the same power as any other method,

Couldn’t find a source quickly, but you can put panels above parking lots or grazing areas to provide shade, so it’s not wasted space. Also, nuclear waste needs to be put somewhere…

requires endless manufacturing (and disposal) of batteries that are also made with mined, toxic materials that end up in landfill,

Already addressed the materials issue above, but would like to note that batteries can be recycled. Also, would you rather literal nuclear waste in your backyard?

and the cost of transmission infrastructure needed are in the trillions.

I don’t understand what this means. Are you implying that adding solar as a power source requires infrastructure that nuclear doesn’t? Other than the batteries that they would presumably be built with.

Nuclear as the backbone, topped up with solar, is the only realistic way to the fabled “net zero”.

Ah, here it is: the “nuclear as a backbone” argument. This is an absurd argument to be making considering the energy grid composition in Australia right now. Firstly, there is no legislation or expertise here to even start construction of such a plant. This is already ridiculously expensive compared to solar + batteries (https://www.csiro.au/en/research/technology-space/energy/Electricity-transition/GenCost), but building even a SMR would take decades, at a minimum. This would mean extending the lifetime of existing coal- or gas- fired power plants to cover needs during that time, costing millions more. Secondly, we don’t need a “nuclear backbone”, renewables already make up 36% of energy generation (https://www.energy.gov.au/energy-data/australian-energy-statistics/renewables), and continues to get more affordable as time goes on. We’d be spending way more and burning more fossil fuels for a “realistic way to net zero”?

Face it, renewables already have this handled here. There is no reason to continue down the nuclear rabbit hole, unless you happen to have coal and gas industry interests in mind. Do you?

That’s it, tysm!!

also, it is a very good read from what I remember, I will definitely enjoy rereading

Ah I remember now, your post was about whether your college education was worth it. My apologies

Hey, you never told me what you thought of your newfound knowledge about solar cycles and mRNA vaccines, your post got deleted for some reason

How about you actually research the things you’re talking about? The solar cycle does affect Earth’s climate, but current scientific consensus says that its impact is marginal compared to the greenhouse effect, which has had 270 times a greater effect on climate change compared to the effect from the solar cycle source. It isn’t possible for the Earth’s orbit or solar activity to have had this much of an impact over such a short period of time.

As for mRNA vaccines, how are they not considered vaccines? Sure, they’re different from the traditional vaccines where they inject dead or very weak cells. What mRNA vaccines do is they inject the mRNA of a part of the pathogen (like a spike protein), along with sugar to encourage your cells to take it inside, then have the ribosomes print out that part of the pathogen inside your own cells. If you understood anything about the immune system, you’d know this is genius, because to the immune system this looks like a genuine infection, while there is zero actual risk of infection because there aren’t any actual pathogens in the vaccine. So the end effect is the same (or better!) than traditional vaccines, the immune system gains immunity, and the risk of side effects are lower because you can’t accidentally get infected in the process.

FYI Vaultwarden is simpler and should be easier to self-host

for ten years That’s still ~ €700/month

If I’m understanding this right, you have run the script linked and also installed CryoUtilities separately?

In that case, I’d run A.B.T’s “revert” script in the Medium post (looks reasonable at a glance?), and uninstall CryoUtilities using the instructions on their GitHub.

I think you would definitely want to have CryoUtilities uninstalled before SDWEAK, since ananicy-cpp would probably conflict. But I would highly recommend backups before running arbitrary commands on your deck 😅
