Wow such a great answer, thanks for sharing the thoughts that went into this. It's crazy that there are so many considerations when taking into account the limited speed of light.
What you describe can be done with self-hosted dawarich instance + the owntracks app. It records location history and lets you visualize it in a web interface.
Yes I've also tried it and reached similar conclusions. Do update it to the latest version though, as I did report an issue with non ASCII characters and for me it got fixed in v0.4.7+
GW and TWh are not the same unit. You need to multiply by the hours of effective sun in a year (and applying some reduction factor for the fact that there isn't 24h of sun every day, nor that the full production capacity is reached)
Even if that doesn't cover the energy demand, the number is not negligible for 438 GW of capacity.
Assuming that the effective full sun equivalent in terms of energy production is only 10% of a day in average, we get:
24 h/d × 365 d × 0.1 × 0.438 TW = 384 TWh
I have no idea about the 10% factor, someone more knowledgeable can coreect me, but, we are not speaking thousands of years if the growth continues before the full energy production value is getting close to the energy demand.
> With Legacy Support, organisations running their systems on top of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS can obtain an additional two years of expanded security maintenance and phone and ticket support. This enables IT managers to prepare a detailed upgrade plan for the next LTS
Yeah sure... Couldn't make that plan over the last 8 years, but two more will surely do it.
Ah, very interesting! I still have my sandstorm running over these many years (although seldom used, but amazingly it just continues to run/auto-update with no admin work needed).
I like the idea a lot, thanks for developing this and sharing to the community!
Yeah, learned about it while reading the documentation of Fossil (from the same SQLite people). Their approach certainly has its own merits (and drawbacks).
Just wondering how they will transition once the original few people at the top of the hierarchy need to retire, eventually it will happen.
I guess they need to find younger trusted committers with the same dedication and spirit. That's not necessarily easy. But for a piece of software as important as SQLite, I have a feeling they will find those.
I don't know about the percentage of affected stars in a typical galaxy collision but note that you don't need a collision for two stars to affect each other. We're not speaking of interaction like on a pool table. The gravity will significantly affect star systems that pass significantly close from each other.
I had the same experience, trying to self-host my VPN or other evasion solutions only served to get my server and domains banned for all other purposes from inside the GFW. The symptoms were exactly the same as you described (at first, they "sort of work, but unreliably, with extremely minimal bandwidth and would suddenly stop working after some time").
In the end, I'm not going to try that anymore, I haven't been in China for 2+ years now due to COVID, but next time, I'll hope my server is out of the blacklist again and hope I can access my (self-hosted) emails and other normal services that don't try to evade it.
The student VPN of another Asian university or the employee VPN of a well established company seemed to work last time. Not sure if that can be counted on reliably though...
Updating the DNS entries can and should be automated as well. There's different solutions for different DNS setups, but many, including me, do so and don't have to worry every 3 months.
I also feel the same. Unfortunately there's no way back for pgAdmin. But also no way forward to look for. I am convinced the Web based version won't be able to match pgAdmin3 usability ever.
Same experience here, used the workaround.org tutorial as strong inspiration (not blindly copy pasting, but to serve as guided path to follow and learn).
Steep learning curve indeed, but after initial setup it's just working and necessitate no tending except when I do major upgrades (of Debian so every 2.5 years on average), in case some config needs updating.
But this is really a private email server with no users except me, thus probably not encountering the issues related to mail servers with many users that might or might not have a good email hygiene.
Not doubting any of your statements, but why have I never heard of it before? If it is good why hasn't it displaced ethereum and become more mainstream? Are there any cons that prevent it to become more prominent?
(sincere question from me, I am curious to know more)
