Mal sehen wie lange sie Nuhr noch machen lassen .. er ist ja bestimmt einigen ein Dorn im Auge.

Fällt mir immer schwerer, zur Erheiterung die heute-show, extra3 oder Böhmermann zu schauen .. die haben sich zu sehr aufs Gutmenschentum eingeschossen.

Nuhr finde ich häufig angenehm erfrischend.

" .. fordert geringere Wohnkosten .."

Das ist auch schon so eine trigger-Phrase.

Wohlhabender pseudo-Anwalt-der-armen-Leute fordert, die Welt möge doch bitte irgendwie alles für alle günstiger machen. Tolles Personal haben wir da.

(Könnte natürlich sein, dass er sogar konkrete Handlungsvorschläge hätte, mit denen man seine Forderung seiner Meinung nach am besten erfüllen könnte .. ich spekuliere mal ohne jede Basis, dass solche Vorschläge in typischer MMT-Träumer-Manier etwas mit zusätzlichen staatlichen Ausgaben zu tun hätten .. also mal wieder exemplarische nicht-Politik wären.)

I take that as an insult .. and yet I don't take it seriously :D .. we're on the internet after all.

So I conclude from you posting this, that you distrust these trails.

Just one sceptical thought: let's say there were harmful substances in there. How infinitely widely diffused will they reach the surface? How many tons would a malicious actor have to spray of even the most potent chemical substance to maybe get a physiologically relevant effect.

Without having done any estimates, I'd say it's almost impossible to produce a harmful effect in this way.

You'd basically have to do it like they spray pesticides over crops with small airplanes .. very close to the surface.

Yep, I might also be completely wrong.

Does this have a source?

Why would you want to map them?

IMO the major flaw in democracy is .. complexity creep.

I'd say it is a root issue out of which several other issues arise. Make the banking system complex and you'll get a large proportion of people/voters, who can't be expected to understand the principles of it. Now if many voters don't understand the basic principles of something, politicians / rich individuals / large corporations can come up with intentionally (or unintentionally) wrong explanations of the system .. which allows them to exploit those people who don't understand the system.

As I wrote, when you _create_ (take) a snapshot of your btrfs subvolume (which could be mounted to "/" for example) it's quite literally "instant". Only when you want copy/send this snapshot to another filesystem or disk it will take some time, even if you copy/send incrementally, so only the blocks changed since the reference snapshot.

Maybe you're not using a reference snapshot at all? In which case all data (not only the modified blocks) in the current snapshot would have to be transferred.

In any case, happy tinkering 👍

If restic appears fit for your purpose, then maybe BTRFS isn't the right tool anyway?

Borg Backup (another feature rich and popular backup tool) could also be the right thing for you then.

Not sure, what you mean by "takes the snapshot from zero".

Do you have different subvolumes defined (and mounted) in your BTRFS filesystem for / and /home (plus maybe some more)?

Creating a ro snapshot of a subvolume should be instant. Only if you want to send/receive it somewhere else, should it take time (depending upon the amount of data to be transferred).

You're not running on BTRFS, are you? If yes, then you can manually create/restore snapshots.

Because you inch closer and closer to where you yourself are simply running out of time to enjoy with your very own senses anything your BTC can buy.

And thus - as I see it - the sensorical value someone gets by spending some of their BTC will at some point in time turn almost every hodler into a net seller.

Some people are lucky enough to have enough cash flow to enable a satisfying lifestyle _as well as_ buy/hodl BTC without _ever_ selling any. But I'm pretty sure these people make up a small fraction of all hodlers. All the others will - IMO - turn from buyers into sellers at some point in time.

> .. hodlers don't pay for network security ..

This might mostly be true for now. But life (at least today) is finite and at some age and price, many (especially poorer) hodlers are going to spend BTC for goods/services.

Sure, some hodlers will rather pass their BTC on to some heir than just spend it for something. But will all/most do this? Hardly.

I don't entirely disagree .. but I'd describe the situation differently: humanity forms a large interconnected system. And many of the severe problems we face come from the fact, that we allow for too large and powerful organisations (states/companies/..) to first exist and then - even worse - to become corrupted and develop their inherent dynamics.

The problem with too powerful and corrupted organisations is: they have the power to ruthlessly translate and enforce the sum of all the billions of small egoistic behaviors (that are just a fact of human nature so condemning them is meaningless) into horrific actions that none of the individual people, behaving - rightfully so - egoistically, would approve.

Example: the collective push of billions of people for small prices, aggregated and amplified and distorted through powerful organisations, leads to instances of terrible exploitation, like child labor, that (almost) noone would actually want.

This entirely misses that there are second-order and higher-order effects in almost any system, that at least partially counter the first-order effects.

All the things in the photo look like significantly more than 20 kcalories total, more like 300-500 kcalories would be my guess.

Und, gibt es Aussagen/Ansichten von Milei denen du ganz klar widersprechen würdest? Oder sind die allermeisten Aussagen aus deiner Sicht vernünftig?

Also .. complicated things often benefit the huge corporations/organisations (at the expense of the individual) .. because they have the resources to optimize their position in the presence of complicatedness/complexity while the individual often does not.

Have a source?

Well, maybe they'll later on just sue all citizens who bought with KYC to hand over x % of their holdings .. because "the state needs it for bridges, weapons and schools".

Is Taler actually being used anywhere?

The chase for sites with frequent negative electricity prices is on. In theory Germany should be a pretty good candidate with quite regular pv peaks at noon in the summer.

The policy/regulatory side of things may well be a show stopper though. Let's see how well the "Greens" do in the coming elections.

A bit weird that the EIA as well as the article state battery capacity numbers in "GW". Are they just omitting the "h" in "GWh" here?

> When we look at the total battery storage capacity in the United States, it’s evident that the increase in production and utilization is happening at an exponential rate, with 30 GW expected to be reached in capacity by the end of this year and a staggering 970 GW estimated to be reached by 2030, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

Yep, I've had that thought for a while now: health care is such a convenient way for big pharma to wring ever more money from people. It's almost like an invitation. Simply because it's the sector that almost noone wants to cut spending for.

The content of what he's saying seems reasonable.

That silly background music, though. Gives the whole thing a vibe of manipulation through the limbic system. Totally off putting to me.
