It was meant tongue-in-cheek, you seem to be taking it much more seriously than I intended it to be. 🙂
But in reality is not done because it simply doesn't bring any benefit.
Fully agree that there is absolutely no benefit to NAT66, it only causes enormous headaches. I sincerely hope nobody uses it these days, this poor bastard however did manage to find a VPS provider that used NAT66 back in 2018: https://blog.apnic.net/2018/02/02/nat66-good-bad-ugly/ 🤢
The only thing Bazzite smashes is the ability to boot my laptop, which was the be expected as Fedora also consistently had major issues on it in the past. I'll stick to Mint, works well enough for gaming now that I've whipped it into shape.
That is why you vote for people that invest in a usable power grid which can store overproduced electricity in batteries (chemical, water storage lakes with pumps, pulling weight up/down etc.),
Yup, which I've been doing for the last two decades and keep on doing, even though financially right-wing would serve my interests better.
Or just make electricity prices variable so that you can expect a ROI investing in your own battery (like charge your battery cheap or by solar and discharge it for bigger returns by night/bad weather)
We have variable pricing available here, the problem is that having ADHD I need structure in my day and week. Guess I lack the courage, but having to plan chores around when prices are expected to be low sounds like a complete disaster scenario for me.
For a lot of homes simply putting solar panels on the roof is enough to generate a lot of power for the home itself and an electrical car.
Unfortunately panels don't generate a lot, if anything at all, when the electric car is at home, often in the evening/night. You could add a home battery as storage, but that is, at least in my country, quite expensive and doesn't have the capacity to bridge that gap in an economically feasible way.
Then there's the problem with having your own driveway: that's not the standard here, so depending on the distance to the nearest parking spot it's often also not very feasible to hook up your car to your own grid.
Of course there's also the late autumn and winter period where your panels will not produce enough for the average home, especially if you are heating with an heat pump. Which is rapidly becoming the standard here.
And as the cherry on top: our power grid has a hard time handling the strain of solar panels dumping their excess power during daytime. For this reason here you pay a fee for generated power returned to the net. Currently you still receive a compensation which is usually higher than the fee, but people are fearing that in the next few years solar panels might start costing money. This heavily impacts the return on investment, which unfortunately needs to be a consideration for a lot of people as their wallet has a limit.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for moving to renewables and I do not have anything against solar power. But it is definitely not a magical solution and comes with its own set of problems that need to be tackled.
Well, it beats seeing Harry Kim pretending to play the clarinet. I wish I could say his technique needs work, but that would imply he has an inkling of an idea of what he's doing.
To be honest, Mint is no better in that regard on my laptop. Closing my laptop and pulling the power adapter always results in the system not going to sleep mode, but remaining active. Opening it will actually cause it to resume going to sleep. Really annoying.
Reminds me of the time I ran a FreeBSD webserver from home, compiling Apache from source took the better part of a day. But still good times, learned a lot from that experience.
Personally I prefer Utrecht or Leiden. Although Amsterdam has more to offer in terms of larger/more renowned tourist attractions, I've always enjoyed the vibe in those cities more. Amsterdam is too busy, it smells and it's way too commercial for my taste.
But of course I'm probably biased, I grew up near Leiden and studied in Utrecht. So I spent quite some time there.
The first laptop I bought had a DVD burner which came with support for LightScribe, which required discs with a special coating. You designed a cover, put the disc in your drive upside down and it would burn the image into the disc. You could only do grayscale as far as I know, but I still thought it was pretty neat at the time.
Skewed telemetry probably, as most users that are aware you can move the taskbar are also aware you can just disable the phone home crap and will therefore not show up in the statistics.
Don't worry, our Sun will take care of life when it starts running out of fuel, expanding and boiling away everything on the surface of our planet.
