The US and Europe reduced their CO₂ emissions in the first decades of the 21st century by moving from coal to gas. People who don’t care or even believe in global warming don’t care. It was very much sold as a bridge solution to people that do care.

I use MoCA at home, 1 GBit. It works pretty well, and I get almost full speed.

Every now and then I have some blip and have to power cycle on one of the coax-to-Ethernet connector, so that’s annoying. It’s like twice a year, so not a huge problem.

The biggest drawback is high latency. It’s milliseconds instead of microseconds in the house. I guess it’s buffering and framing, so maybe unavoidable.

I also do see some small packet loss. Less than WiFi, but not zero like you’d see from a proper Cat6 cable.

Maybe just but a pair of MoCA adapters to try in your setup?

I just learned today about Lochner v. New York:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochner_v._New_York

Where apparently laws limiting working hours to 10 hours a day and 60 hours a week were declared an unconstitutional violation of the workers’ rights.

Very pretty, but I guess probably similar to control rooms anywhere in the world at that time.

The last two graphs are fantastic!

They show carbon capture is basically nothing, I’m spite of optimistic predictions. They also show that solar electricity generation has exceeded every estimated growth.

I haven’t lived in the US for a few decades now, so I might definitely be off for some!

American tipping culture is so arbitrary though. You tip your taxi driver but not your bus driver. You tip at a coffee shop but not at a fast food shop. Your hairdresser gets a tip but not the people looking after your children.

Only 7 minutes long. Funny and informative!

I think we actually have to wait for old people to die.

My dad saw a presentation once, which was enough to convince him that global warming isn’t real. Or rather that the earth warms and cools naturally (true) so humans have nothing to do with it (not true).

I just checked online here in Holland, where soy milk is cheaper than cow milk.

Are you sure that you’re hiding under a pile of pillows at parties properly?

😭

Ah great. It looks like you have a mostly empty encrypted partition with LVM on top of it. If memory serves you might be able to resize the logical volume and the ext4 filesystem in a single command.

In America there are only two parties. The Republican party is actively hostile to the interests of black people, if not explicitly racist. Since the Democrats - while not generally taking any actions to, you know, improve anything - are not. So like 89% of black voters choose Democratic candidates.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that it is not illegal to change voting districts to prevent the other party from winning. A simple example of that might be taking a city and dividing it into three sections, each of which extends far out into the countryside. Now no single section has a majority of city voters.

In the latest rulings, the Supreme Court also ruled that anyone in such a district must prove that it was done for racial reasons, and not for a pure partisan power grab. States all across the South of the US immediately rewrote their election maps to favor Republicans.

This ends up taking away black representation. Some states have 40% black citizens, and will now have 0% representatives.

Sure seems racist, but the people in power say it’s not.

In principle one should save a lot of money with heat pumps. Surely one can get a low-interest loan for the amount by increasing one’s mortgage, which should more than pay for itself?

Yeah it’s weird. Texas has massive amounts of both wind and solar. I guess the state’s self-image means that they have to use fossil fuels? Sort of like everyone in Texas needs a truck even if they just drive to work and supermarkets?

So the US response to global warming will be to put murder bots along all the borders. 😬

I got 135 blocks via sshguard over the first 12 hours today. So, yeah, welcome to the Internet! 😄

Maybe it’s time to disengage from Lemmy if it’s impacting your mental health so much. Take care, comrade.

Kubernetes storage is the reason I was looking at Minio in the past.
