The problem with batteries is that they are costly to produce if we’re talking about ones that reverse chemical reactions. This is why I rolled my eyes at Elon suggesting we connect batteries to all our renewables. (The cost I learned from Factorio). Other types of batteries, like potential energy buffers are more practical, but also extremely location specific. There is a Technology Connections video about it. Also for example, some rollercoasters have flywheels to slowly build up rotational inertia and then release it all at once. So if we were to store the excess energy, it would probably be done so this way, but baseline power obviously just seems more practical

Wasn’t even surprised when I read this after eliminating 1, 5, 4, and 3.
There’s no story. I mean - I’ve been disciplined a few times to be honest usually from adults that shouldn’t be teachers and from my parents who didn’t like me writing mean things in invisible ink.
To be honest I only asked the question because growing up sucks and I am imagining what it’s like for new adults to have the fun sucked out of them and to become boring and contemptuous adults.
Looking forward to Discord’s enshittification. I’m annoyed at how many people expect you to use this insecure platform.
ltsc iot is on my gaming pc that I spin up once biweekly. Got the os from massgrave and most of the games from fitgirl.
If it’s a competition of getting work done, Linux is clearly superior. Windows has always just gotten in my way when I’m trying to do something with the OS.
There’s no denying though that you gotta use the right tool for the job. I ain’t forkin my time over to get Linux to work with triple-A pirated games and all that VM and wine shit. I’m just going to install ltsc and forget about it. Just as how I’m not wasting my time on Windows to install software packages, libraries, or whatever the fuck Subsystem is.
Couldn't end up getting this to work for Discord (everything else works). Turns out, my IPv4 traffic leaving through wlp3s0 has a MTU of 1460. And I measured a MTU of 1407 for traffic going through the AirVPN tun (implying 53 bytes of overhead, or 25 bytes of OpenVPN overhead). I ended up just saying the VPN overhead was 40 bytes. Here's my napkin math:
1460 <- ISP MTU
- 28 cost of IP/UDP <- ISP MSS
- 40 cost of OpenVPN <- AirVPN MTU
1392
- 28 cost of IP/UDP <- AirVPN MSS
1364
- 40 cost of 2nd OpenVPN <- Home VPN MTU
1339
- 40 cost of IP/TCP
1299 <- Home VPN MSS
For Home and AirVPN I set those in the configs (tun-mtu and mssfix), then mirrored it on the client.
I assumed there was some overhead so I made the second VPN mtu much lower.

Kids these days should be taught the anarchist’s cookbook so they can mail their local representative a mace bomb.
Republicans in the Senate are terrified he’ll wreck their careers. I genuinely don’t know what it would take for him to be removed, besides his MAGAt supporters actually calling to have him out of office (we’re past the point of reason). Though, most are too stupid to know when they’re getting screwed until the bill is served.
