  • I watched that video, and while I agree that nuclear waste is safer than fossils fuels, there is still a non-zero risk to storing nuclear waste, especially if you consider how long it remains radioactive.

    Would I prefer to live near a nuclear plant or a coal plant? definitely nuclear.

    Wind, solar, and renewables are still cleaner than nuclear.

    Also burying nuclear waste in what that video says:

    [far away from] any geologically active area

    With climate change we are seeing extreme weather events and earthquakes more frequently than expected. Who's to say that areas which are currently not active won't become active.

    Don't get me wrong, I understand renewables are not going to supply all the power we need right now. I realize that nuclear is the cleaner option (comprlared to fossils fuels).

    However, I am still concerned about the nuclear waste. I'm glad they have tight security, and it's good to know the barrels are missile resistant... But nothing is 100% safe. If a terrorist decides to make one of these sites a target, and they have enough money and influence, I'm sure it's possible for them to penetrate security and penetrate those barrels.

    Radiation levels are low around the barrels but if contamination occurs that would still be a disaster.

  • Privacy policies have become much more readable in my experience. I still feel like I'm the only one who reads them though.

    That said... I think that companies that won't allow you to use their app without consenting to your data being sold are scum of the earth.

  • The problem with nuclear is nuclear waste. Nuclear waste is stored in barrels in caves and buried. It remains radioactive for thousands of years. By creating nuclear waste we are forcing 100 generations after us to live with this nuclear waste. I don't know all the details but they say it's "safe."

    Hard to believe how safe something can be from an inconvenient earthquake or terrorist attack.

  • Well it definitely checks for updates, and it has services for finding nas for dummies that use outside communications. My router policy doesn't allow it to talk to the outside, but certain docker containers hosted on the nas can access internet via raspberry pi proxy

    Occasionally I let it update then close it off again.

  • Does synology phone home though? Made in China, not exactly a reputable place as far as privacy goes.

    (I also have a synology nas but it has 2 2TB drives and I don't let it talk to the outside world)

  • It really sucks to be the kid of negligent anti vax parent in situations like these.

    There should be a resource (I'm sure there probably is) for kids to get vaxxed without their parents' knowledge.

    Sad thing is though that a large portion of those kids can't reason passed the brainwashing from their looneytune parents and won't take advantage of those resources.
