oh dear, last time rust was built on the cluster it took 11 hours
guess I'll be waiting a while -

Where the hell can you actually buy a Softiron Overdrive 1000 or 3000? I'd love an ARM64 box for cheap -

Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.
I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.
Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!
Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?
A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it. -

@cstrotm @hannesm how is DNS privacy an issue when the IP of destination is never private? It doesn't make sense -

You could make the most sustainable product in the world and someone out there is going to take a picture of a middle manager eating a hamburger on their lunch break and demand you remove the sustainability or zero emissions claims of your company's products.
This is the insufferable truth of modern society -

@jerry ~30% on ICE and about 3-5% on EV. -

@lain my wife keeps telling me of some rumor that you can't smile at Czechs because they find it off putting or something -

ICE vehicles:
* We burn fossil fuels to extract fossil fuels
* It requires about 6kWh of electricity to refine a gallon of gasoline, much of that electricity coming from fossil fuel burning power generation
* Factories pollute a bunch during the creation of the raw materials and then the general assembly
* We burn a ton of fossil fuels to ship the crude oil
* Oil pipelines leak too
* We burn a ton of fossil fuels to truck the gasoline to gas stations
* Lots of gasoline is lost due to evaporation (est 5000 metric tons per day according to my googles)
* The cars burn fossil fuels to drive and require oil changes
* Where does the oil go? lulz (recycling, but have you ever seen the spillage at an oil recycling center?)
EV vehicles:
* We burn fossil fuels to extract fossil fuels
* Factories pollute a bunch during the creation of the raw materials and then the general assembly (including batteries)
* We burn a ton of fossil fuels to ship the crude oil
* Oil pipelines leak too
* Electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels in much of the country
* Electricity is transported with wires
* You charge/fill up with some conversion losses, but it likely has less of an impact than the overhead of evaporating gasoline (someone with lots of free time should try to math this and make it their thesis or something)
* Where do the spent batteries go? lulz (recycling or reuse is possible in many cases)
EVs aren't going to magically save the planet but it's a reduction in our footprint in many areas. It's obvious that they're cleaner.
Easier to audit 10,000 power plants and some factories than 1 billion tailpipes. -

@ConnyDuck thanks for pointing out the issue though. It wasn't obvious that it broke anything so it was considered a low priority nuisance -

Did you know there are hidden messages on the Pleroma mug that only appear if you microwave it?
I hope someone is brave enough to reveal this treachery and show the world the sick minds of these degenerates -

@tedu I hope the highly conductive material causes you discomfort when you fill the mug with hot liquids 😡
