I was going to say, coal remains around 1/3 of our electric generation worldwide (as of 2022): https://www.statista.com/statistics/269811/world-electricity-production-by-energy-source/

Coal can’t be reused, created, or otherwise obtained outside of mining. Until we remove our dependency on coal, mining will continue.

I was in Deadwood SD this summer, I’ll have to check out the series. Thanks for the suggestion!

Usually around 74F in the summer but I’ll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.

Him and his buddies must have large investments in commercial real estate. I can’t possible think of another reason why he would willingly tank the company. Make as many short-term gains as possible then bail.

Was going to suggest this. Github even has native support for them so you just plug it in and touch the gold pad for your second form. Even easier than a TOTP code.

Definitely more dramatic than I expected, but yeah it was only a matter of time. Rather surprised it took at long as it did really.

Secondary pro tip, some cars (honda for sure) you can triple press the unlock button then hold it and all the windows will go down. So even if you forget to leave them cracked you can use this while you are close to your car to quickly vent the heat. Will open the sunroof too if you have one!

Ghost in the Wires

Just simple old rsync. The nas at the far-end is an old QNAP I had lying around.

Local backup to my Synology NAS every night which is then replicated to another NAS at my folks house through a secure VPN tunnel. Pretty simple and easy to deploy.

Seriously, the graveyard is pretty extensive: https://killedbygoogle.com/

I believe this is the article you were going to link: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

I’m of the “old fart” variety that recalls the days of IRC and totally agree. Back even before forums those communities run off servers in peoples basements were a treasure trove of knowledge and community. I have very fond memory of making real connections with people there. As you pointed out, that simply doesn’t exist on an article with comments.

Mod of /r/homeimprovement here, that’s exactly what we are doing. We are staying dark and forcing them to replace us if that’s what they want to do at this point. We are at least going to make them work for it, lol.

I mean, if you ask why a company is doing xyz the answer is pretty much universally money.
