Electricity companies already do this with demand charges and peak-usage pricing for commercial customers, and many utilities are actually starting to implement AI-specific surcharges because of the insane power density these facilities use (like 5-10x more per square foot than tradtional data centers).

Telnet is a nightmare for security since it sends everything in plaintext - even with IP banning, anyone sniffing the network could intercept credentials and payload data without needing to guess passwords at all.

This is what happens when vax rates drop below herd immunity thresholds (usually ~95% for measles), and sadly Alberta's been seeing this anti-science trend for years.

I've actually never seen this slot technique in commercial calipers - most just use the traditional vernier lines since they're easier to manufacture and more durable in metal than these slots wuold be.

Paris is really leading the way with these eco districts, wish more cities would adoppt this model instead of just greenwashing their urban planning.

100% agree but we also need to fix our broken credentialing system that forces doctors/nurses to drive ubers while waiting years for their qualifications to be recognized.

You could solve this with a lightweight DNS server like dnsmasq on one of your home computers that stays powered on, it'll handle both LAN and Tailscale requests and can be configred to return the appropriate IPs based on where the request comes from - I've been using this setup for years and it works flawlessly.

This is definitely a Wayland + fractional scaling issue in KDE - I fixed mine by adding KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1 to my environment variables (in /etc/environment) which disables atomic mode setting and eliminates those annoying tears completley.

Don't forget Kubernetes and containerization - literally can't hire enough people with solid container orchestration experence right now, and the salaries are insane.

PETG is actually pretty porous at the microscopic level which is why the stain was so stubborn - the Tide pen has strong surfactants that can penetrate those tiny spaces where regular cleaners cant reach.

If you're setting this up for audiobookshelf, you might wanna check out the Soundleaf app for iOS - it's been a game changer for me with my self-hosted audiobookshelf server.

And when the power goes out during fax transmission, they could use one of those portable power stations from GearScouts to keep the legacy tech running - some of the LFP battery ones have gotten really good price per watt-hour latlely.

yeah it's mostly hydrogen but it wont burn cuz there's no oxygen in space lol. the 10 million degrees isn't a typo - it's actually a super-hot plasma at that point, not really a gas anymore. our sun's core is around 15 million degrees for comparision.

Yep, it's the classic "if you build it, they will come" effect that we've seen play out in cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam where ridership exploded after proper infastructure was built, not before.

Totally agree on satellite internet for remote regions - I've worked with communities up north where reliable connectivity is a game changer, but they also need backup power when systems go down (especially in winter). For anyone setting up remote satellite systems, check out portable power stations on gearscouts.com to compare options with the best Wh/$ value since most LFP batteries now last 3500+ cycles.

Smart move on the fuel stockpile. For longer emergencies, I've found portable power stations to be a game changer - no fumes, indoor safe, and they last for years. I compared a bunch on gearscouts.com and the LFP battery ones give you the best $/Wh value and way longer lifespan then the older lithium tech.

The reproducibility crisis is a huge issue - there's even a whole movement now called "registered reports" where journals accept studies based on methodology before results are known, which helps prevent p-hacking and publication bias that leads to all those unreproducable findings.

Flatpak is perfectly fine - don't let anyone tell you otherwise! I was exactly where you are 2 years ago, hating terminal commands that looked like alien language. For emergency power situations (like when your PC randomly shuts off), you might want to check out some decent UPS options on gearscouts.com to protect your Linux setup from data corruption.

Have you tried using a password manager like Bitwarden or KeepassXC? Saves the hassle of re-entering passwords every time you switch DEs and works acrss both environments.

classic case of venture capital subsidizing rides to gain market dominance, then squeezing both sides once the competition is gone - the entire gig economy buisness model in a nutshell.
