Geoengineers think they can slow climate change. The catch? No more blue skies.
  • Bad wording on my part. I mean that we cannot even agree on the effects one more heat-trapping gas would have, and now we plan to add yet another thing that apparently caused a year without summer. Forgive me for having little faith in people that thinks we should pump some other crap up there and see what happens.

  • Ah yes of course. We can't even agree if methane will have an accelerating effect or if methane simply breaks down too fast to have a significant effect. The obvious solution is to add more things and see if it helps. Great plan!

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
  • Not that I'm opposed to a better sudo alternatives, but I find it rather ironic that one of the reason stated is the large attack surface, considering systemd is a massive attack surface already.

  • Almost every problem in the world would be dealt with meaningfully if we outlawed billionaires.
  • I think I see what you mean now. We both agree that wealth hoarding need to go, but I think I focus more on the problems it would cause and you just wanting to set a limit and deal with any issues as they arise. Is that a correct assumption?

  • I am not saying it is dangerous. My point is that taking a decision that is polar opposite of our financial system will come with consequences, many of them will not be simple to predict.

    What happens after you accumulate 100 million? Are you allowed to work? Will you have to give up the interest your existing assets earn you? Do we tax everything the limit at 100%? How will we deal with the fact the some countries will attract people with lots to lose by not following the system?

    These are of course just random thoughts, but I think most of us can come up with plenty of things that can jeopardize such a plan.

    I don't dismiss the idea, but I think a lot of safeguards need to be in place before such a plan could work.

  • Almost every problem in the world would be dealt with meaningfully if we outlawed billionaires.
  • While I don't disagree with the sentiment, I do think a ban on resource hoarding would also require an overhaul of the capitalist system. Hoarding resources is exactly the point of our current system and banning it would most likely have hard to predict consequences.

  • The future of mobile devices?

    I wonder if the charging port on mobile devices will go the way of the 3.5mm jack and be replaced with Qi and other wireless charging protocols. I also wonder if we will be forced into Bluetooth for all extension devices we used to connect to usb-c.

    The case for Nushell
  • There are tons av resources (scripts, guides, examples) that make up the backbone of a lot of IT departments.

    If you're setting a new organisation, you can chose to go with nushell, but then you have to accept that you either need to write all scripts from scratch, or you need to convert an existing script to nushell. If you put nushell into an existing department/organisation, then you face the same problem.

    Before there are substantial resources to solve common sysadmin tasks in nushell, organisational adoption is unlikely due to the cost.

  • Helm chart repository

    I'm currently setting up my homelab using k3s and helm. Normally I use the official charts from the projects themselves, but I'm a bit lost when trying to install software that don't have official helm charts. Are there any searchable trusted resources for helm charts?
