SSRI's or Benzodapines have severe side-effects, yet relying on them to survive isn't seen as disruptive to society. There may be an argument against self-medicating with Alcohol or Cannabis, but them being un-natural isn't i

Brilliant book too! Well worth a read.

No doubt about it; shutting down the nuclear plants ahead of schedule was simply a bad decision, and I don't think anyone is claiming that crypto actually caused the current energy crisis in Europe. It's a mess caused by a whole l

Well, to be frank, it's not about the environment, and barely about national security: some places in Europe -- southern Sweden being the most notable example -- has severe energy shortages to such an extent that new businesses have to

It's not about waste; it's a matter of managing an energy shortage while simultaneously trying to threaten Russia with sanctions and whilst being dependent on Russian gas. A CO2 tax won't help when the issue is that the grids

Surely you're not trying to restart the A1200 vs. Falcon debate? We all know the Amiga was superior anyway. ;)

Seconding this. The NC10 was an amazing little thing for writing a lot when on the go. Too bad the white screen issues have killed most of them off by now.

Also, while pigs are naturally curious and definitely aren't dumb, I suspect our primate cousins are closer to us on the conciousness scale. And yes, bacon. Combine the transplant with an offer on cheap pork, and we'll soon have h

Out of curiousity: what made the OOB experience bad for you? I've always found it extremely easy to use.

It's more of a confirmation thing, I think. We've been pretty sure about Covid being airborne since early 2020. This probably helps convince some of the few that insist it isn't.

My theory is that OOO's are (in general) short, and short messages have a tendency to end up in spam folders. The fact that people often don't use the spam buttom as a delete button probably doesn't help. Also, Gmail is a com

It's not just tractors. Looking around the area where I live, there are a large amount of lorries, escavators forklifts, grain dryers and other veichles, with 20+ expected years in them. Electrifying all that will require massive upgra

The basic idea isn't bad, assuming it's implemented in a sensible way. However, the most likely result will be higher fuel prices -- until the lack of income starts hurting governments and "carbon taxes" are added on top

Assuming farmers are able to pay for new equipment. It'll take many decades before diesel tractors are completely gone. It also assumes someone will pay for massive infrastructure upgrades on the countryside. The grids out here wouldn&

Most poor people rarely have new cars; until you can buy a used but functional 400€ EV, carbon taxes will be harder on the working poor. Public transport is nice, and it could cover some of that, but it will never be available everywhere an

Oh, I'm sure we'll get there at some point, but until we get new games instead of remakes, there's little reason for it. The thing with the supply chain issues is that they keep many gamers on XB1/PS4. Until the target a

Why would anyone buy a new Xbox? Most people I know still have regular HD TV's, and six year-old Xbox one or PS4 will do just fine for most of their needs. There are very few games that won't work -- or have performance issues --

So, lock the kids up during winter? Where I live, the roads are barely walkable during winter. Public transport is 8km away. Cars with proper winter tires is far easier to keep steady, than a bike. Especially if windy. Most teens out here d

This. Most inbox providers filter a lot of mail -- spam as well as occasional legitimate email -- without the recipients ever finding out.

Click "Not spam". It's what it's there for. Not that I'm defending Gmail -- it's spam filter is a menace to email.

Looks like it. It's a good idea to take down old keys after they have gone into disuse, to prevent things like this.

Litespeed, or Apache+mod_lsapi are excellent alternatives. If self-hosting, Nginx and FPM is well-tested and very fast.

My old Peugeot Partner (2003), can easily go 650 km with plenty of petrol left in the tank. I don't think 800 km would be out of the question. Edit: according to the specs, it should have a range of 960 km (597 miles) under optimal con

Total shift? No. It's possible for urban areas in developed countries, assuming we solve the current energy distribution issues. Nuclear is slowly getting back on the agenda, and renewables are slowly taking market share from fossil fu

Preppers aren't just a bunch of American right-wingers locked up in remote cabins with large stockpiles of food and valuables (although those people certainly exist). Most of us prepare for short-term disruptions that are far more like
