On the opposite side there is this ads from intermarché, a French supermarket chain, made by real artists.

Intermarché - le mal aimé

I’m not going to share it here because it’s code I’ve written. I’m hiding in my own shame

I would definitely donate some of my fat to taste myself

No issue on slrpnk.net

You’re CEO and VP of IT are idiots.

Of course you can have open source in an enterprise environment and have someone to blame. You hire a company to install the open source software and maintain it.

There is also the Atelier Paysan in France that designed a lot of agricultural equipment published under creative Commons license.

Onomatopoeia is talking about riddling.

There is a step in champagne production where the bottles are stored upside down for a month or two and turned regularly. This is to bring all the sediments to the top of the bottle so it can be removed in the next step called disgorgement.

I disagree, but in not in your situation so I can be wrong.

Unless you are producing way, way more electricity than you can use I think net metering is a great arrangement for the customer. (Not so much for the utility company)

The electricity is usually bought by the utility company at a much lower cost than what the customer is paying. Because the generation cost is only a percentage of the cost, there is taxes, maintenance of the grid …

For example in France we pay 0.1952€/kWh, but the utility is buying the solar electricity produced by household at 0.04€/kWh.

Meanwhile with net metering your electricity is virtually bought at the same price as what you are buying your electricity for.

My dishwasher does that. On the Eco cycle it opens the four at the end of the cycle to let it dry

People dying from the heat are older people or people already in bad medical conditions. Not kid or healthy people.

AC could have an influence but the excess mortality due to heatwave is also happening in countries with a lot of AC like Australia : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412025004982?via=ihub#t0010

Net metering is great, much better than being paid for the surplus.

With net metering the grid is basically an free, infinite, 100% effective battery.

How ? Is it just AC ?

We oscillate between 300 and 800kwh per month and it’s with an old water heater, an electric car charged at home, a dryer and electric oven.

There is probably still a bunch of old people with a dialup subscription that they never canceled.

Solar is not great for heating in winter because solar produces very little energy in winter (which is literally the reason why winter is cold in the first place: less solar radiation).

See https://pvgis.com/fr

So even if you have solar, unless your installation is massively oversized you generally don’t have spare every in winter for heating.

Small consumer wind turbines make sense only in limited cases, and I say that as someone who had been building some. Because places with a strong constant wind are limited and generally this is not when houses are built.

See https://globalwindatlas.info/en/

No, what we need is seasonal batteries. A way to store the surplus or solar energy in summer to use it for heating in winter.

Wood is exactly that, solar energy stored in a stable chemical form that is easy to use.

I think tailscale would fit your use case perfectly.

You can install tailscale on your computer and your NAS. This way, there is a tunnel between your computer and your NAS. In practice you will have a separate IP address for your NAS that you can use from your computer.

It also means that you will have secure access to your NAS from wherever in the world as long as you have internet access.

Then, Mullvad and tailscale are integrated together. It means that from tailscale you get the Mullvad add-on that allows you to use Mullvad as exit-point. Meaning that all your traffic that is not in your tailscale network will go through Mullvad (so in your case everything except your NAS)

It’s been two years that I am using that and it’s working great for me.

Imagine the smell when the firefighters arrived!

Ok boomer

Do they ? You state that roads are carrying more traffic than rails as obvious but I am not certain it’s true.

I’m not sure what would be the best metric so I decided to compare the number of passagers on the most used road in France with the most used rail line, that are both in Paris.

The most used road is the Autoroute urbaine Nord with 200 000 vehicles per day.

The most used rail line is the RER A with 1 400 000 daily passengers, 7 times more.

Unless you have a debit card from a third world country bank and half of the time for online payment the authorization fail.

I’ve been in this situation several times and then though I don’t like it Paypal has often been the only payment option available to me.

This is what my ISP provided, a microtik router with openwrt flashed on it
