Might be most efficient when power is in higedt demands, in the morning and evenings when everyone is using power at home.

Linear is probably a lot faster?

How else would they get in your ear?

Telegram has been supplying US government with data on its users

Seems like a good use for android app pinning, I think that locks the phone to that app until unlocked

Spotify might as well be doing this themselves already to avoid having to pay all those annoying artist

what’s iffy is smaller AC generators like wind mills

Not so iffy for bigger wind turbines, these also have significant inertia due to the mass of the rotor spinning (with large mass moment) and grid codes demand active grid stabilisation in most countries.

The harm is in the realisms , this matter when AI generated parn is shared with others.

At some, long ago, the Ubuntu installer was offering to use zfs for the boot and root partitions. That sounded like a good idea and worked great for a long time, automatic snapshots, options to restore state at boot etc.

Until my generous boot partition started to run out if space with all the snapshots (which were setup automatically and no obvious way to configure) OK no big deal, write a bash script that finds the old snapshots and delete them manually whenever boot is full again.

Then one day recently my laptop wouldn’t boot anymore, Grub could no longer read the zfs on boot. Managed to boot with USB installation image, read zsf and chroot. Tried alot of things but in the end killed zfs and replace with ext4. Then made it boot again.

Apparently I’m not the only one with this issue.
