It exists

It does not transport people but it is great for places with a lot of traffic to have a first responder on site quickly before an actual ambulance arrives.

This project is full of bugs!

What are they going to do, invade Ukraine ?

I have a synology NAS with all my documents and family photos. I’m using the synology drive app on Linux and synology photo on android.

All of that is backed up on Backblaze

Like this father who got his account closed because he took a picture of his toddler penis to send to their pediatrician.

The picture was automatically backed up in Google photo and flagged as child pornography.

This is a myth, most of the nuclear reactors can be throttled down, it is not instant but they can go as low as 20% in around 30 min.

The thing is it is much easier to stop a wind turbine than to throttle a nuclear reactor, and unlike fossil fuel power turbines most of the cost of the nuclear reactor is fixed cost, whether the reactor is running or not it still costs the same.

You might be thinking about the movie Sunshine, there is a similar scene at the end of the movie.

The government could listen to people, this is what protests are, people who want to be heard.

But instead of listening to people the president decided to appoint a far right government despite the fact that the left for the majority during the last election.

Not being able to install Graphene OS

When the winter looks like that I can understand the metal.

I would look into the Surfaces, you can find a cheap second hand one and install Linux on it.

For 3D printers I think prusa is the bramd that can be trusted with quality.

They are expensive but made in Europe and very reliable out of the box. I’ve been printing tons of parts for the renovation of my house and tools organization with no issues. I just start the print and come back once it done. Now I even do it remotely from work.

Compared to my brother who had a Ender 3, tinkered quite a lot with it but was constantly baby sitting the prints and eventually just gave up on it.

Opinel is amazing too for knives. Their pocket knives are cheap, sharp and easy to sharpen and durable.

The 80s had the AIDS epidemic

I think I’m on an accepting phase too.

I’ve been through a lot personally and emotionally since I started reading about collapse 9 years ago.

I had a look at this publication a few years ago, it put me in a rough place for a few days.

Recalibration of limits to growth: An update of the World3 model

Humanity will survive I’m certain of it, however our thermo industrial civilization will not and most of the people currently living in the planet will not.

It will happen whatever I personally do.

The best I can do now is to find ways to have the happiest life I can using as little ressources as possible for my family, my community (neighbors, friends …) and me. It’s a process that forces us to reassess a lot of things we were doing but it is fascinating.

Practically it means finding ways to lower our monthly expenses, try to consume local as much as possible and learning a lot of new techniques…

It’s usually the other way around, we don’t fuck a baguette, we use our baguette to fuck.

I’m not blaming lemmings, I was there too not to long ago.

You are getting downvoted because it sound to absurd for France. I would have have downvoted you few years ago but unfortunately this is really what is happening right now.

In this case the dangerous far-left extremist they arrested was just a guy who was planning a graffiti. The “far left literature” was a sociology manual because he is a student.

In the mean time the French police also arrested 45 XR militant, they all been release now because they have nothing against them except for one of the activist who will be judge for the dangerous act of … Refusing to give the pin to unlock his phone.

Houses in Europe are connected to the grid too.

These systems are approved in Europe by utilities because they have failsafes implemented to prevent back feeding electricity in the grid.

The fact that these systems are still illegal in the US is a political issue, not a technical one.

I recently found one of the liveCD I received with Ubuntu 8.04 on it. Canonical was sending them for free for people interested in Linux.

I was in high school and tried it on my first computer, it was my first connect with Linux and honestly I think that without Ubuntu I would not have discovered Linux until much later in life.
