I can't say this enough. There are fossil fools working to block climate action!

Their power company, Entergy, which lobbied against the district’s solar installation, charged the Little Rock School District more than $1.3 million for a utility interconnection fee, a fee that Entegrity said was 50% higher than the previous largest fee Entegrity (the school's solar contractor) has been charged by Entergy to connect a solar project of about the same size to the power grid.

I often wonder just how much wasted energy Docker alone is responsible for, globally, in terms of duplication and repetition of environment setup tasks across instances.

I'm not sure I actually want to know the answer.

I would think the actual cloud companies are trying to keep their excess capacity down in order to control costs, but yeah. I do rebel against the idea that a small Unix/Linux box needs containers to do just a few things. Unix is good at doing a few things.
@John yeah, for most cases logical separation of duties is all that's really needed, and something like BSD's jails would be well suited without as much computational overhead.
@John it's kind of cursed because the one thing containers are good at (decoupling OS component upgrades) aren't really very important if you have a bunch of full time staff babysitting them anyway
@whitequark @John see also: put your stuff on AWS, it's cheaper and simpler than having your own staff maintain in-house systems! also you'll now need five different specialised disciplines of technical staff to admin the AWS stuff, plus a contractor on call for figuring out optimal service strategy for reduced billing.

Va a estar divertido.

Deutliche Zunahme von Übergriffen auf Menschen mit ausländischem Aussehen
Die Fach- und Beratungsstelle für Gewalt- und Radikalisierungsprävention "SALAM Sachsen-Anhalt" berichtet einem MDR-Reporter von einer deutlichen Zunahme von Übergriffen auf Menschen mit ausländischem Aussehen im Stadtgebiet von Magdeburg am heutigen Samstag.

Geflüchtete berichten von körperlichen Angriffen, Menschen würden geschubst, beleidigt oder angespuckt. In einem Fall sei ein Mensch von vier Personen angegriffen und geschlagen worden.

WIRED article forecasting the generative AI bubble will burst in 2025. This is more optimistic than my own expectations, but if WIRED are printing it, it's the direction sentiment in Silicon Valley is running in.

(Hint: there's gold in AI, but it's in *analytical* AI, aka big data, not stochastic parrot bullshit.)

In Norwegen werden ab 2025 (also ab übermorgen) neue Verbrenner nicht mehr zugelassen. (Edith: Steuern sind so hoch dass wohl kaum noch jemand einen Verbrenner kaufen wird)

Das wird lustig, wenn in der Folge die Dichte anTankstellen mit der Abnahme an Verbrennerautos im Land deutlich sinken wird.

Dann werden es die mit den Verbrennern sein die ihre Routen im Urlaub vorplanen müssen und jede Tanke zum Abfüllen nutzen damit sie nicht liegenbleiben.

so schnell dreht sich das.

I think the front of the men is often distracting as well. 😳

Heh. I used to think that (except for my preference for the female form). But in researching ballet for a story, I came away both incredibly impressed with ballet dancers, and horrified at the damage they do to themselves.

"Israelis are not only bombing residential areas and killing unarmed civilians, but they are also preventing the injured from being rescued and the dead from an honorable burial"
“Due to the rising Israeli bombings and killings in northern Gaza, we have run out of body bags to bury the dead, and now we resort to using any piece of clothing or a blanket for their burial.”

We got 4” of snow overnight and feel pretty fortunate, as it will be staying cold enough for it to stick around for Christmas.

I really don’t like a brown Christmas.

The snow was so fluffy I was able to use a higher gear in the snowblower and get the driveway done faster than usual. The sun is doing a good job of melting the remains. 😀

Los Centrocnemidinae son una subfamilia de insectos con abdomen amplio, cuerpo plano y espinoso, hasta el punto que a veces hay ninfas que parecen infectadas por hongos, pero no, solo tienen púas y prolongaciones largas por todo el cuerpo. Viven siempre sobre las cortezas de los árboles, donde se camuflan. Este ejemplar es un Neocentrocnemis palawanica de Filipinas. 📷Albert Kang #insectos #insects
Insecto con abdomen ancho pero plano. Su cuerpo, especialmente en los bordes laterales, está lleno de protuberancias puntiagudas. Sus colores se mimetizan con el entorno.
