That seems very unlikely as the Switch was incredibly successful and Nintendo has no reason to merge with anyone.

The only one of the three big console producers that is likely to change to a different model regarding hardware is Microsoft. Maybe they will not drop out entirely, but it is unlikely that they will try to compete again with a future PS6.

And Sony is still complaining about bad sales… I wonder if Microsoft will even bother with another console again. I guess they will pull a SEGA and just start selling games on other consoles.

Yes, for example there is /c/balconygardening here on the SLRPNK Lemmy and all the moderators of that community with an SLRPNK account can also edit the community specific wiki over here: https://wiki.slrpnk.net/balconygardening:start

These permisions are automatic and you can create as many wiki pages as you like under the specific wiki namespace.

Edit: Let me see if there is a nice QR code externsion for Dokuwiki that I can add. Edit: Ah: if you click on the menu and select “Export as PDF” the resulting PDF also includes a QR code to the page already.

Edit2: after reading your post again: yes you can of course also just link to external already existing website in a new Lemmy community that you create here.

For longform blogs we host Movim (which is also a nice federated chat app for Jabber/XMPP) and in addition we have a Dokuwiki where community moderators can make a dedicated wiki. Both are integrated with our Lemmy instance here, so you can just use your existing account user and password to log in.

An air-to-water heat-pump and a solar-thermal (vacuum tubes) hot water heater combination.

Maybe speak to a union representative? I mean, aside from the ICE or electric question, the plan to move to privately owned cars is clearly an effort to push hidden costs onto their employees and the union might be interested in preventing that. And once that option is off the table, an electric fleet might become the next best option.

At 3am? Come on. And that’s also true for all public transport.

Not if it is strictly time separated. Like I wrote, I could see these pods operate exclusively during the day and regular/cargo trains operate exclusively during the night. Or any other such time based system.

Good questions. I guess given how lightweight these pods look there could be probably some sort of lifting device at some of the stations to move the pods between the two rails.

Its kinda cool how by making it mono-rail, they can use a single track rail to have pods moving in both directions, and the rail could still be used during the night for regular cargo trains.

You can do something similar, but much easier with btrfs and btrbk.

Of course ZFS is even more advanced than btrfs, but unless you are doing professional datacenter level stuff btrfs will likely be sufficient.

Maybe not enough bandwidth? 😅

As it seems to double as a balcony solar inverter if you add some PV pannels the price seems to be not so bad. A 2KWh LiPO4 battery, charge-controller and inverter alone will cost you at least half of the asking price.

Many student dormitories (at least used to when the internet was still very slow) have such hyper-local intranets for sharing movies and other stuff. A local IRC server with p2p file-sharing was also common. Local network game-servers with games like Minetest might also be popular.

The main link is to the codeberg.org repo with the code that can be self-hosted.

Smaller reactors that can be placed at sites of existing fossile fuel plants (that already have the necessary grid connection) do indeed sound like an interesting option. However the fast advances in grid battery storage at those same sites as well as potential novel geothermal drilling methods aiming to do the same are more likely to arrive in the short to medium term than those proposed small nuclear reactors.

No expert on this either, but a quick web search turned up this idea, which is quite different, but the paper explains the process well and makes a good point that heat storage is probably required. Maybe some molten-salt thermal storage could be used in your concept?

It was clear that this would happen soonish, but it still make me very sad. Coral reefs are such beautiful and important ecosystems.

I am not so happy that currently all these use the proprietary LoRa system. Some kind of medium range and low-powerd mesh network would be very cool though. There has been some movement in the WiFi HaLow space lately, which is IMHO more promising.

Yes this uses normal ham radio and not LoRa like Meshtastic.
