  • For me, it’s an additional, redundant layer 3 route between my dual stack nodes. I’ve had instances where v4 or v6 paths have broken, and I’ve not noticed until my monitoring systems explicitly notify me.

    I’d also like more tools to use MPTCP which would make them more resilient.

  • He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

    No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

    That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

  • I’m in Australia, so my perspective may be skewed. The trailer would be optional, and I only mentioned it as the system as proposed could be just an extension of the self contained removable battery in a vehicle.

    Unless batteries can become tremendously lighter, I see a standardised, swappable EV battery a given as a means to further increase vehicle efficiency. Why lug around hundreds of km of range when the distance between typical charging points is a fraction of that.

  • The batteries are what make EVs heavier compared to ICE vehicles, and the majority of trips don’t call for anything close to their peak range.

    Installing a fraction of the capacity as a static battery would reduce weight for shorter trips, also extending the typical range.

    Removable batteries could be installed in a standard cavity in the undercarriage, or in the regular cargo space, it just needs an electrical connection to the rest of the system.

    Fast charging is also a problem, as it disproportionately affects the performance and longevity of the batteries. Swapping batteries would permit charging them at a more leisurely and manageable rate.

    • My TV’s power consumption is basically doubled when the input is running at 2160p compared to 1080p.
    • Running the portable AC in my office for more than 24 hours causes it to cycle off and on because the humidity collection sump fills up and needs to be emptied (it throws a completely unhelpful error of ‘Low Temperature’).
  • I don’t see the use case for phones, and maybe there is for other personal electronics, but something similar for EVs should become the norm.

    Basically a range extender when you need it, but it can be removed to save on weight when your trips are within the built-in battery’s range. Such a system could easily be extended to trailers, including their own static or removable batteries, and where the additional axles could be powered so they can contribute regenerative braking.

  • Wireless data links should be the exclusive domain of temporary, nomadic and/or sacrificial applications.

    If the channel is permanent, static, or critical; as much of the path as practicable should be provisioned with constrained energy transmission.

  • Charities and billionaires are the polar extremes of the same policy failure. In a healthy society neither should exist, and when they do they should be tolerated for a minimal time as possible.

    Charities and philanthropy exist to permit governments and corporations to abdicate their social responsibilities.

    When the work a charity does is properly valued by a society, it’s economy would never need to carve out a special, nonprofit status for it.
