And the Luddites were right

Futo’s and Rossman’s responses don’t make their goals any clearer to me. Sure, they’ve avoided the issue by not using “open source” now, but why all this mess in the first place?

They’re worried about developers of open-source software not getting paid? Then pay them to develop it (looks like they’re doing that already, so great!). So why then keep bringing up that developers need to be paid, if they’re paying them? Royalties?

Annoyed that big tech is taking open-source code and not giving back? Why not use a copyleft license? You can always dual license. Problem solved. Why make a new Frankenstein license that tries to do both, but just looks like it sucks at everything?

Fitting a 100W battery in the 13 inch chassis while keeping everything easily serviceable would be impossible

My plan to handle this is to switch my VMs to NixOS, set up NixOS with impermanence using a btrfs or zfs volume that gets backed up and wiped at every startup with another that holds persistent data that also gets backed up, and just reboot once per day.

I’m currently learning how to do impermanence in all the different ways, so this is a long goal, but Nix config + backups should handle everything.

I use a Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 2x 10Gbit sfp+ NIC, 128GB ECC RAM, and only 2x 20TB drives at the moment.

For my gateway, I have an Intel N6005 box, I have a managed 2.5/10Gbit switch, and I have a wifi AP.

I have a ton of Proxmox VMs and containers.

All that hovers between 140W to 180W

I will continue to work to regulate oil and gas from within the government (my job), and I will do my best at that, but it is definitely not enough.

It’s important to take the easy wins where we can that will potentially slow the climate crisis while fighting for more. There is no reason we can’t do both.

I use porkbun for my domains, cloudflare for dns, ddclient connecting to the cloudflare api for dynamic dns, and traefik as a reverse proxy to send subdomains to their respective service.

The only part I have to pay for is the porkbun domain.

$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.

Getting industry to cap the wells is a hard problem that is being solved, but more slowly than it should be. The problem is these wells were drilled and used when they were producing a lot by massive companies with lots of profits.

Then, when they were less profitable, they were sold to smaller companies with much tighter margins. Then those small companies can’t continue to operate them without losing money and they don’t have enough money to cap the wells, so they abandon them.

If we ask the smaller companies to cap the wells, they’ll go bankrupt, stop buying wells, and disappear. I don’t have a problem with this outcome necessarily, but it won’t get the wells capped because the companies will go bankrupt instead of paying and it will consolidate all oil and gas power to the big companies (close to the current state of affairs, for sure, but this would basically be absolute).

Ideally the big companies that drilled and used the majority of the oil from the well would pay, but mergers and acquisitions can often make that difficult.

For now, states are working to require funds be set aside ahead of time to pay for future well caps and are working to pay to cap abandoned wells directly, which is expensive, but could come from increased industry fees and taxes.

These oil wells are available because they are not profitable, and often because they cost more to run than they could possibly produce.

fair.

that’s unfortunate.

I have a 5800X3D and RX7900XTX and I play at 1440p on high settings. Glancing at Mangohud, I haven’t seen a dip below 70fps, and usually hover around 85-95.

It works out of the box on my Linux PC with AMD CPU and GPU, and has pretty great dynamic resolution, so it probably works great on the deck.

nope, open-source. claiming that they are releasing under an open-source license is speculation. The only thing we can claim is source-available.

sure, and while we wait, claiming that they are releasing it as open-source is speculation, so lets not do that.

You can contribute to things that don’t have open source licenses, it’s just probably a dumb idea.

There is nothing here saying it will be FOSS or open-source, just source-available.

My job is all Google and Microsoft. It sucks, for sure.

What frustrates me more is that students are trained to use specific proprietary tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace or Adobe Creative Suite, especially at public schools. The school systems are just further entrenching these tools.

https://indieweb.org/ has a lot of good resources. Static site generators like Hugo are also great. If you want something more traditional like a Wordpress blog, I recommend https://www.reclaimhosting.com/

For a domain registrar, I HIGHLY recommend https://porkbun.com/
