Seems like you read some misinformation there. Share of coal in the German electricity mix: 2021 30.2% 2022 33.3% (the year that nuclear was shut off) 2023 26.0% 2024 21.2% 2025 22…

Wow a publicly routable IPv4 address on a mobile phone? Wouldn't that drain the battery a lot? Or is there some kind of carrier-level firewall still?

It formally isn't but for (almost) all intents and purposes it is.

I love Nextcloud but I feel like they should really completely redo their UI. It just doesn't look like something from this decade.

> This will be a logistical challenge for the grid but absolutely fantastic for BYD owners in particular. Interestingly BYD actually puts batteries next to these chargers that they…

DMCA is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a US law. DMA is the Digital Markets Act, a EU law. It is in fact an antitrust law. It basically argues (correctly in my opinion) that…

Well, let that be my concern. Why should I trust Apple more than let's say Proton?

Think about Matter what you want, but the fact that it is simply IP-based so you can hack something like this together is pretty amazing.

Which god?

> made the EU leadership turn and now they want nuclear They don't _actually_ want nuclear, luckily it's just lip service. Because it doesn't solve the problem surfaced by the US-I…

And Ryanair is the largest airline in Europe! And one of the largest in the world.

Levelized Cost of Energy for Germany's existing nuclear fleet was roughly 13ct/kwh.[1] The averaged costs (YTD) from the linked article currently stands at 9.71 ct/kwh. So nuclear …

An installed solar panel will continue producing electricity, no matter how the relationship with the country that produced it develops. Unlike natural gas, oil or uranium where th…

Modern grids favour flexibility over fixed baseload generation (like nuclear) though. When you turn off a nuclear power plant its operating costs basically stay the same, which is …

Well, the US is still dependent on foreign heavy oil for their refineries as it mostly produces shale oil (for export). So it very much isn't independent even though it looks like …

Much fewer / slower cars. Nowadays people have been pushed aside to make room for cars.

Somehow I think the stars might be aligning this time though. People are genuinely fed up with Windows and governments around the world are loudly thinking about how to reduce depe…

Do people move solely because of property taxes? They rarely do unless they are in financial distress. So I'd say: Give it a try.
