If you do use an SD card, use an official one rather than a random one. Not all SD card are the same and the official ones have been selected for this use.

This helps with wear and the power loss issue, which is the biggest issue with them.

When SD write, they shuffle which block is which to share out the writes. If power is lost in the middle of this shuffle, you get a new type of corruption no file system can handle. This is why you must shutdown anything running from an SD card, not just yank the power.

This is battle they can’t win and it just makes everything stupid trying.

I think a lot of people say out this election. They can’t then complain they got Trump. I don’t understand Trump Republicans, but that’s not all Republicans.

If Trump had lost, second time in a row, it could have well been the end of him. Big enough loss and it could have been end of the whole movement. Republicans could have come back to the centre. If you didn’t vote Harris, Trump is your fault. The system is completely broken, but it’s still what you have. Campaign for a better system while voting for the least bad. Enjoy your Trump.

You already married to ZigBee? If not, maybe don’t. It causes 2.4Ghz interference. You’ll need to think about WiFi channels and avoid ones that overlap with ZigBee. Either that, or use 5Ghz WiFi and repeaters to make up for the lower penertration (if an issue).

It’s a backup. On the main machine there are two disks (fast & big and slow & smaller) not in raid, with a btrfs copy.

It would be quite an event to lose all three copies.

Remote storage (Pi at parents house with a big disk) and cron’ed btrfs send over ssh.

Like the ice cubes in dad’s drink before he get mad? ;-)

Not sure everyone here knows their Futurama.

I feel bad buying things DRM’ed, so I very rarely do, and not for myself. I don’t want to fund that. Feels much better funding DRM free work.

So ‘Tankies’ are the ones fighting Nazis? There doesn’t seam much between the two to be honest.

If Lemmy turns into a toxic cesspit, like Voat did, anyone remotely normal will leave to avoid the toxicity.

It’s insane that’s allowed. It should mean support stops.

I know it is done when there is one bomb by some nutters, but it seams labour intensive. Not sure how well it scales to warfare.

So they have to hope they find details on fragments left. I literally have no idea of the odds on that.

Also, how is Russia to know which bit of equipment is attacking them, and where is it from?

As I said, if you want to start today, solar is without doubt the way to go. If you are dealing in decades, and much more money, nuclear becomes an option. But in the time building it, you’re poluting and it’s not clear it’s even cleaner long run discounting that, let alone including it.

As a bonus, solar is safer too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accidents_by_country

So nuclear just isn’t the choice to make in 2024.

That’s part of the issue with nuclear, it’s not today. It’s a decade to do, power coal in the mean time, pouring concrete which also cause a load of CO2. When it’s finally running, it’s clean, but expensive. In the mean time you could have solar running 8 years and it is cheaper to power and install. Nuclear is going to struggle to compete. Until fusion, but even that, if it ever comes, might not be cheap enough compared. Cheap, fast and clean wins.

It’s a new area, but there are companies : https://www.recyclesolar.co.uk/

Life cycle comparing isn’t as simple as your thinking: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0301421506002758 Happy to look if you have a unbiased source for life cycle emissions comparison.

But costs and time is a no brainer: https://www.energysage.com/about-clean-energy/nuclear-energy/solar-vs-nuclear/

You as also don’t want to be burning coal for a decade while you build a nuclear power plant. Then it’s expensive to run compared to solar too. The CO2 costs of waiting for nuclear should be included for nuclear too.

Cheapest because the fuel is for free. Waste plan should be recycling.

Too late. Somewhere so sunny can get a lot of solor quickly. Building nuclear power plants takes time and releases a lot of CO2. Batteries and solor now now. Cheapest power too.
