Any money that goes to nuclear could be going to renewables, which would get us there more quickly.
That’s a false dilemma. Nuclear and renewables provide different things, so they shouldn’t be compared directly in an “either or” comparison, and certainly not on cost. Nuclear power provides a stable baseline, so you don’t have to rely on coal/gas/diesel powered generators. Renewables cheaply but opportunistically provide power from natural sources that may not always be available but that can augment the baseline. The share of renewable energy in the mix is something engineers should figure out, not “the market”.
Also, monetary cost shouldn’t be the only concern. Some renewables have a societal cost too, for example in the amount of land that they occupy per kWh generated, or visual polution. I wouldn’t want to live within the shadow flicker of a windmill for example.
You editorialized the title, turned it into an ordinary doomscrolling clickbait title that is misrepresenting what the article actually says. Going by the comments here you did fool a lot of people with it.
Then you should check your sources, because the actual title of the article is “India, Pakistan, China: Air pollution is now cutting life short in these 6 countries”
Which implies something entirely different than your doomsday title.
Tbh I do not know the ins and outs of rhel based distros, so these have caught my interest. I’ve tries live usb of both and I really did like the feel of alma. Rocky I thought felt like every other GNOME system… But I clearly dont really know much about these sort of distros and their capabilities. Are these considered...

A decongestant like pseudoephedrine if your nose is clogged up, but not the “alternative” phenylephrine that’s often pushed now in over the counter decongestants. It just doesn’t work. A xylometazoline spray works too, but I try to avoid it because it can easily lead to rebound congestion.
Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in...
I don’t want to change back, but I still thought it added a sense of adventure, and having to be actively involved with the navigation gave you more awareness of where you were and where you were going. Now you just slavishly follow instructions and then some hours later you are there.
Like, we drove to Austria last summer and when we came back my dad asked me: so did you drive over Stuttgart or Nuremberg? And I honestly didn’t know.
Nah, regexes are okay if you really have no other choice, but they’re a bit of a hamfisted tool. For a json file, which is a neatly structured format, I would always try to do it with jq first.
I’m in the process of re-configuring my home lab and would like to get some help figuring out log collection. My setup was a hodgepodge of systems/OSes using rsyslog to send syslogs to a syslog listener on my qnap but that’s not going to work anymore (partly because the qnap is gone)....
FWIW I use an elastic stack for that: filebeat, journalbeat to collect logs. Logstash to sort and parse them. Elasticsearch to store them. Not sure if it satisfies your FOSS requirement, as I don’t believe it’s entirely open source.
I guess it depends on how you define “breakage”. The system being completely b0rked and unsalvageable? No, that has never happened.
Bugs, regressions or other gotchas or annoyances that needed to be dealt with? Yeah, several since I started using Arch in 2014.
netctl hanging on boot (it was some systemd config issue)
Very slow throughput issue with the Intel AX wifi driver (needed to rollback kernel and firmware until upstream fixed it)
Intel NIC disconnecting under high load (was eventually fixed in a firmware update)
Graphical artifacts in chrome and firefox after certain mesa updates (amdgpu related, eventually fixed)
Black screen in google maps after a mesa update (amdgpu related, eventually fixed)
Mesa update breaking high refresh rates in vkQuake (mysteriously fixed after several months)
Grub introduced an incompatible update last year, so had to boot from USB and re-run grub-install
An issue with vim syntax highlighting being broken for bash scripts. Was caused by upstream, and quickly fixed.
A new readline version introducing bracketed paste by default. I’m not counting this as regression or bug, but it’s an instability because a default behavior suddenly changed
mpv’s pipewire audio output was broken a few weeks ago leading to muted videos. It was an upstream bug that was fixed a couple of days later.
mpv’s default subtitle handling behavior was changed around the same time as well, had to add subs-with-matching-audio=yes to the config to revert to previous behavior
Currently still struggling with an issue with virtiofsd: my VMs can’t re-mount virtiofsd filesystems when they are rebooted.
And there were probably several more which I can’t remember.
Mind you, I’m not blaming Arch for this. It’s just what you can expect from a rolling release distribution, and if you are not able or willing to occasionally diagnose/fix things like this, Arch is not for you.
That’s how it is here in Belgium. I pay tax on the income I would get if I would rent out my apartment, even when I’m actually living in it.
Luckily the amounts are based on rent prices as they were in 1975. It’s indexed, which means it gets adjusted for (general) inflation, but not for the increased prices in the housing market which is much higher than inflation.
No not for landlords, for homeowners. As it is, it’s just an unfair tax that increases the cost of homeownership, making it unattainable for lower incomes. If they wanted to target landlords, they should tax actual rent income instead.
Of course, no tax ever gets abolished because the government starts to rely on it in their budget, so we’ll be stuck with this forever.
LLVM was held back for a good reason, it was breaking things left and right. Even so, if you really needed it there were always AUR packages for it, or lcarlier’s mesa-git repo if you prefer prebuilt packages, so it’s not as if you were just SOL. I got my 7900XT in december, and instructions on how to get it running were already all over the forums and subreddit at the time and it was working on the same day that I got it.
I don’t know when you got your 7900XT, but it was broken on Ubuntu too for a good while, I’m not even sure that it currently works on 22.04 without using external PPAs. In the mean time, it now works with Arch out of the box.
As for the grub thing, I’m not sure how that could have been handled differently. Upstream introduced a change that created a compatibility issue, so Arch could either not update to a newer version of grub ever, or update anyway and tell its users how to handle the compatibility issue. The latter is what they did.
Yeah but I think you’re unfairly blaming Arch for not being ready for a new GPU on release day, especially when there are still known issues with the upstream packages that are required for it.
I think you may also misunderstand what Arch is. It isn’t meant to be absolute bleeding edge. It’s meant to be a distro that’s as up-to-date as possible yet stable enough for everyday use. So the Arch team does curate upgrades and does QA before they release it to the stable repos.
