I like #walking, #languages, #photography, #astronomy, and #space, and will post about these topics alongside #PHP.

Made a lot of improvements to my site. The most notable is it now has a functioning RSS feed!

You should be able to add https://cspray.io to your RSS reader. Or, you can check out the direct feed URL at https://cspray.io/feed.atom

@cspray The world is so much better with more people embracing RSS (again)!

@afilina It's why I added: https://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#scream

@afilina 2.4.1 is the latest supporting PHP 5.4.

So if I want to move my Mastodon instance from masto.host to something I'm hosting myself (and maybe a better domain), all the toots disappear - is that right?

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@ciaran I don't think the disappear, they just won't be linked with your new ID.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@ciaran They should remain with everyone who has received the posts though. Maybe @ian knows.

how good are the odds do you think, if i take the platters out of one hdd and transplant them into a twin where the controller board aint fkn up, that i can get a few minutes of read to nab data?

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@bobmagicii 0. The moment you open the case the vacuum is gone. If its really this important, pay for a specialist!

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@bobmagicii wouldn't the controller contain the calibration data though?

This is good news. And yes, modern nuclear is needed.

https://www.thestreet.com/technology/bill-gates-says-new-project-is-a-nuclear-breakthrough

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Crell tosh. It's some of the safest ways of generating power. It's waste is manageable. And most cost comparisons forget about the downstream results of burning fossil fuels (ie coal). I was quite surprised to see coal power plants right in the heart of Berlin too.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Crell The latest generation of plants can also use the "waste" of older generations to generate more power too. The German's obsession against nuclear is an odd one, and directly benefitted the killer in the Kremlin.

@heiglandreas @Synchro

> it's not about coal vs nuclear.

You're changing the goalposts here, but let's continue as if you were discussing in good faith

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Synchro
> It's about renewable vs. non-renewable.

Nobody was arguing for not building out more wind or solar. But that can't be the only solution as these are intermittent. That can be addressed by 1. Massive grid storage, 2. Baseload generation (in most countries LPG, with Germany being a large exception) with fossil fuels, 3. Nuclear, 4. Fusion.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Synchro
1 and 4 are decades away and not well understood , 2. is COยฒ in the air. Nuclear is well understood and is my many arguments also renewable. As in 1000 years we'll have either 1 or 4.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Synchro

> It's about decentralised vs. centralised.

Small scale renewable-only is doable. Some Scottish island is off the grid. But there are limitations on usage.

But nuclear is also getting smaller. General Electric have small modular plants now, or very soon. The big projects like Hinckley Point are IMO done wrong, but it is still faster to realise than going strait to solar/wind only.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Synchro
> It's about small scale vs large scale.

Wind and solar at scale is also not trivial. Both require a lot of space and resource extraction. These resources are also not finite, and neither tech allows for much recycling. There is some progress with solar here, but that's still research.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @Synchro
> It's about inclusive vs. exclusive.

I've no idea what you mean by this. This is about energy security though, and not about fuzzy feelings.
