Full deregulation implies that speculators are free to create trading options. In most cases the major interests are capable of manipulating the traded commodity price via their control of supply. Also, as you point out, barriers to entry of utilities create a walled garden that shouldn't be handed over to an entity whose mission is to create profit and enrich its owners. Deregulation implies rolling back regulations often created in response to the excesses of an unregulated market.

Yes, indeed. Cast iron is remarkably good for cooking - anything that sticks scrapes off easily enough. Keep it well oiled and out of the water.

Sounds like it will if Mali decides to take back .ml as Gabon apparently did for .ga. background here https://domainincite.com/28814-millions-of-domains-to-be-deleted-as-freenom-loses-its-first-tld

Connect the router's WAN port into the cable modem. Plug your stuff into the router LAN ports or connect to the new router wifi. Set pi hole to a static address and then set the router's DNS to point to that. Remove any secondary DNS in the router settings. Reboot everything and make sure it all works. That should be about it.

Of course. Privatization of public utilities, particularly energy generation and distribution systems, is simply a transfer of common wealth to private. Fleecing people who don't understand the arcane pricing structures of "the market" they pretend is operating is just another revenue opportunity.

Looks like #4 on this site: https://greatist.com/eat/cayenne-habanero-poblano-serrano-know-your-chile-peppers#basque-fryer the damage to the leaves looks like snails. If you put a ring of crinkly tinfoil at the base of the plant it might deter them.

used it to create an animated birthday card. end result was quite good and lots quicker than coding it all manually. it's better at basic css and javascript for layout and effects than I would be.

well, I'd venture that most people in this sub are running locally, which is quite doable. But even on a cloud instance there isn't a lot of compute involved. The instances listed here for under USD 20/year would be fine: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/186441/from-14-95-yr-openvz-7-2-ipv4-solusvm-lax-nyj-jax-raid-10-ssd#latest

no you need a domain - if you already have one you can use a subdomain, e.g. lemmy.mydomain.com - then you deploy a server, point the (sub)domain to it, then install and configure lemmy. Then, if you're so inclined, you can create communities on that instance that federated systems can participate in. The content is hosted on your instance but the subscribers are logging in mostly though other instances.

For any well-known software, ChatGPT -- although it pains me to admit it it -- is surprisingly good at providing reasonably clear installation and setup instructions.
