Diesel is considerably more expensive now than even premium petrol. So probably about same price.

My family wagon has 60L tank, and it is not a big car. Just build for AU condition where you can have 300km between servos. 72L is normal.

Some standalone WAPs for WiFi and PC based router. Depends on what you are getting you can get it dirt cheap. WAP also need firmware upgrades, but it is less a problem.

Is there any station with LPG left? I have not seen any for ages.

Then read my post again. Contributing and writing opens source is no longer about how much time one willing to spend on it, it is about how much money someone willing to spend on LLMs which will write code. And all these money will go to AI overlords.

What you listed is exactly means “impossible”. To be more precise “Practically impossible”. And really, batteries are not a answer, we simply can’t make enough to cover the need. But more realistic way to rid off coal, nuclear never get promoted by so called “green”. Be back to earth, plan for something which possible to achieve in next 10 years, we just do not have time for something which take 30 years to materialise. And oil have to stay anyway, but more as material than source of energy.

Yes, but in each joke there is bit of truth. Open Source have to change. Open Source code written by LLMs is still open source, but it drastically different from current one.
Instead of spending time to “scratch the itch and help others in the process” - now people should give money to corps to use LLM to to do same.

Problem is not in how much we pump, it is about refineries. And realistically there is no alternative to oil at this moment.

This is one good article. I guess humans are now mostly redundant in open source. Bots can do everything themself, write code, submit PR, merge them and even blog about it. Time to book a place for myself in a graveyard.

“Iranian-made Shahed drones that have effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz.” - fail of reporting. Shaheds can’t do it.

Kurnel, Kurnel where are you?

for start private keys should never leave the system which uses them. Wildcards are even worse, as if one host got compromised, all others can be spoofed.

Good write up.

Just do not use wildcard, very bad security practice. Getting individual cert for each service is easy these days.

you forget lichen. These guys do not need anything but water and some substrate.

Where the link on the article?

Nothing “knee-jerk” in it; it’s just pragmatic. The economy needs to run, and a strong economy is required to achieve any meaningful progress. The main problem is that many of “green” green lack knowledge (or pretend to lack knowledge) of the real world. They do tremendous damage to real “green” projects by advocating for “pipe dreams” instead of projects that could achieve something. Look at the anti-nuclear position of the “Green” party as an example (they should be pro-nuclear if they genuinely care about the environment). All their proposals are just hand-waving, which is unachievable and has no link to reality. And when you ask them, “What are the alternatives? Is there a real plan?” all you get are accusations or another “pipe dream”

US is 14%. BS you hardly find anything not “made in china” in supermarket. Same as in Australia.

What alternatives? Please give an example?

So it pretty much means that bikes are only for rich guys who can afford to rent or buy within 5–7 km of the CBD. The problem with cities designed not for cars is that no one would love living in them. Multi-level unit blocks, no thanks; that’s not how people want to live. Good public transport could resolve that dilemma, but I do not see it happening.
