Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ...
  • I think Australia should be investing heavily in nuclear. The cost doesn't make sense for the private sector to bear, but the govt can afford it as long as it doesn't take away from renewable investment like the libs are proposing here. Future debt is easier to solve than carbon emissions.

    We need large scale base load power generation to fill in the gap that electrification of everything will bring. Electrical demand will increase as we replace fossil fuel for heating, cars and transport, etc...

  • Laptop companies: which one?
  • I've had a framework for 2 years now. It's run fedora, manjaro (arch based) and Debian with no major issues. Manjaro had some problems with KDE and the high DPI screen. Sometimes the scaling was inconsistent between apps. Fedora just works.

    Only hardware issue is the battery life is just not that great. And the trackpad doesn't always work property, but I think that was a first generation issue that's been resolved since.

  • I can never go back, I can see why torrenting is so popular in Canada
  • The easiest way is to setup tailscale on the server, then share the server with the web interface. Your friends/family simply install the tailscale client, login, and it just connects like magic. No port forwarding or firewall configuration required. There's plenty of how-tos out there.

  • Alabama calls nitrogen execution method 'painless' and 'humane,' but critics raise doubts
  • Nitrogen narcosis is caused by the high pressure exposure to nitrogen in the air divers breathe underwater. Its different to hypoxia, which is a lack of oxygen. It can cause a euphoria and can be dangerous if the diver loses focus and makes a mistake. The effects are completely reversed by ascending and have no long term effect.

  • The best part of driving a shitbox is that I don't have to care too much about it.
  • Well actually, its usually much safer for a cyclists to keep moving at an intersection like that. It takes far less time for them to clear the intersection than coming to a full dead stop and starting again. I can see and hear everything on approach much better than anyone inside a 2 ton metal box. In some places its perfectly legal for a bicycle to treat stop sighs like a give way.

    Getting on the sidewalk often has its own hazards, like the sidewalk randomly ending and starting again for no reason, people, and shop doors.

  • I don't...
  • Every time I update my flatpak apps I get a warning about deprecated libraries. I don't think flatpak is the issue but rather apps being able to not update really old libraries that could have security patches available. Does anyone know of a way to force these old libraries to update?

  • How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
  • I went that route with an unlocked ASUS zenfone and it turns out that phone is impossible to replace the screen on because replacement parts are not available where I live. I had to buy a new phone without a headphone jack. Check for parts availability before buying something from a smaller brand.

    Moving from B2 to Storj.io

    In light of the recently announced price increase, I'm seriously considering moving all my backups from B2 to Storj as Storj is only charging $0.004/GB . As it's mostly just a backup, I don't really need the free egress and I travel a lot so not being tied to a single DC location is also appealing. What do you guys think? Anyone using Storj? What has your experience been like so far?
