That sounds delicious, and pretty healthy too. Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps unrelated but Lemmy.world seems to be having some major performance issues right now. Historically this kind of thing could really screw up federation. See https://status.lemmy.world/

Good ol’ Sriracha because of its versatility. It goes well with so many foods.

Some kind of insanely expensive medicine which saves lives so I can give it away. It’d be very rewarding and I don’t need anything else anyway.

Secret handshake

That’s probably just mail that lands in your spam folder without being entirely blocked. According to Microsoft and Google approximately 99% of incoming spam (of the ~160 billion spam emails sent per day) never even reaches their users mailboxes. I assume that’s roughly standard across email providers. I am concerned comparably sophisticated filtering may become necessary on the Fediverse eventually.

I’ve been using Fedi for a long time and from the very beginning I’ve been afraid of spam and bots ruining it, at least temporarily. Spam is still a problem with e-mail, and it’s been around for 40 years and they’ve developed very sophisticated anti-spam mitigations for it.

Total Annihilation

In this mode the aircraft has superior protection from all modern anti-air weapon systems.

The Cello Suites and the Goldberg Variations for me.

“The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year.”

A key part of Moore’s law which is often omitted is that Moore was not just talking about transistor density but about cost. When people say we’ve reached the end of Moore’s law this is not because we’re no longer able to increase semiconductor transistor density (just look at TSMC’s roadmap) but that the “complexity for minimum component costs” is no longer increasing. Chips are still getting faster but they’re now also more expensive.

I recently switched to Linux and the latest KDE surprised me with how powerful it is. Scaling works. Fonts are rendered nicely. It’s just easy to use. Most of the time I don’t even think about the fact that I’m running Linux anymore.

I’m just pointing out an issue with residential PV which, when I first heard about it, surprised me. I hope it does not surprise the people making these laws.

Imagine if, some years from now, seasonal solar oversupply might become in the UK and the people with these by law mandated panels face the choice to either manually switch off their systems or pay to send their solar energy into the grid. It sounds stupid but this seems to be happening in places with high PV density.

And btw you’re getting me wrong, I am a big fan of residential solar. I’ve got a small system. It’s just, at scale, apparently more complicated than covering every roof with panels…

People who install solar on their roofs usually expect to recoup some of the costs by sending energy to the grid. When, increasingly often, they have a choice of either shutting the system off and wasting this energy or sending it to the grid at low or even negative rates, this becomes a problem. The expectation of “my solar system will pay for itself in X years” might become “my solar system will never break even”. At least that’s an issue in some places with high PV density.

Of course, it depends on the conditions. But any (temporary) overcapacity becomes a problem for people with solar panels when they expect to pay off the cost of the panels not just with a reduction in drawing power from the grid but also with credits from sending power to the grid.

However, there are problems, with some grid operators even charging customers for energy sent to the grid during peak times, such as in NL: https://innovationorigins.com/en/solar-feed-in-tariffs-climb-18-in-six-months/

Solar without storage is less ideal than most people think.

Absolutely. But I also read about these concerns in The Netherlands and Belgium, which aren’t quite California.
