I'll just comment about one thing that keeps popping up in the discussions: grid-level storage. There is no such thing yet really that would last a full day cycle, and the 100MW or so units we are building are mostly for frequency stabilization and for buying enough time to turn on a base-load plant when the renewables drop out. I'm not arguing against storage - it is absolutely needed.

The problem is the scale, which people don't seem to get. Largest amount of energy we can currently repeatedly store and release is with pumped hydro, and the locations where this is possible are few and far between. Once the batteries reach this level-of-capacity, then we have a possibility to use them as grid-level storage that lasts a few days instead of hours.

Send it through the earth, you can reduce it theoretically to 42.5ms

This isn't as ridiculous as it sounds and you just need a neutrino-beam... which has a horrible bandwidth (of 0.1 bits/s) plus the ridiculous upfront cost of running two particle-accelerators for a full-duplex link. (Google it up, this exists.)

My favorite so far:

$ gdb -ex 'file /bin/gdb'
run
corrupted double-linked list

Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

I recently deleted my +10y (cant remember anymore how old it was) old account. I had not logged in with it since the first exodus.

In my time, I started from the old reddit, saw the changes to more modern UI twice. I "collaborated" with the pixel art canvas event. (twice?) (last was fullout among us dithering) And finally saw the full revolt against spez that ended my journey there. (plus the complete enshittification of the reddit app)

I once wrote bind_front() and move_only_function likes in C++17. This nearly drove me mad because you cannot refer to a overload set by a name.

On the otherhand, I can now decipher the template error mess that the (g++) C++ compiler spews out.

Yeah, try debug that.

Well I meant two weeks is the longest period i can leave the system without updating and have no problems. And i have yet to break it with 300 pkgs updating at once.

Arch maintenance: 0. Install it once. (The proper way)

  1. Every 2 weeks minimum pacman -Syu
  2. Every 3 months merge/update configs in /etc.

I don't get what is with this so hard? Yes, configs can be undecipherable but 90% time the merge involves just deleting the .pacnew versions.

A kernel was released that changed how the hash value got computed for casefolded filenames. (used for better windows compatibility) That kernel then went into production. This unfortunately split some file-systems that supported this into two incompatible versions, breaking the kernel rule 1.

There might now exist file-systems were created/modified with this bug present that the old/fixed kernels can't understand.

Me 2023: It will take only a few weeks, right? RIGHT?

A year later: I re-wrote the entire damm plugin. Have a good day.

 

A greentext moment:

Decide to listen sweet sweet psytrance.

Playlist only available on Spotify.

Don't like non-free software. (a fucking 1TB disk full of free)

Try make the account anyway.

Somebody else has registered your email.

Request to recover password.

The request arrived at my mail box. Freaking out. No memory of why, when or how.

Listening sweet sweet psytrance.

(Still freaking out.)
