Not sure, how active development is right now, but EdgeOS got forked from an open source devian based distro after that went commercial.
But EdgeOS was not the only fork, another one was VyOS (vyos.io). Pretty sure, that EdgeOS has done larger steps forward, especially, since it was bound to the hardware's developer.
> Renewables are not a complete solution, you need a backup for when the wind down't blow and the sun don't shine.
You can't just switch off and oon a nuclear plant. It is not good as a backup solution.
> But turning off perfectly fine reactors that have already been paid for and are producing tons of CO2 free electricity in a so-called "climate emergency" is incompetence that's indistinguishable from malice.
Well, while this is by no means scientifically sound, between 2011 (the year Merkel decided to get rid of the nuclear power plants) and 1954 (the year the first such power plant got available for civilian production) there were two worst accidents and one half. Using this data there was a catastrophic accident every 22.8 years, luckily not in our neighbourhood.
> Hamas definitely started this particular fist-fight.
A few months before the Hamas attack, the Israeli minister of finances, Bezalel Smotrich (who also is tasked with the responsibility for administrating the occupied West Bank) said: "There is no such thing as the Palestinian people":
Did you know, that the British, during WWII, bombarded German settlements, holding mostly women, children and elderly, on purpose ("Area bombing directive")? In Germany they still call it: "Bombenterror gegen die Zivilbevölkerung", or, "Bombing terror against the civilian population". Here is the Wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_bombing_directive
I do not take any side in this conflict. I think, both sides are monsters. But feeling this way, I can not tolerate one sided commenting, that paints one side as "reasonable" while not accepting what the other side has to endure.
I was always a vinyl guy. At least up into the late 90's, when digital sound engineering started to become on par with analog. At least for my taste.
I will never forgive myself, that I didn't buy tons and tons of vinyl at the end of the 80's, early 90's, when they could be had for cents/piece. Admittedly I was a very poor student back then, but I should have spent less money on party and more money on vinyl.
I wandered around the Louvre and didn't even think about the Mona Lisa being part of the exhibition. So I came from rooms, filled with huge paintings of old masters, into this small room, that was packed with visitors. I was astound and asked myself: "What is going on in here?", turned around and...THERE SHE WAS <gasp>!
Well placed beneath a sheet of the thickest armored glass I've ever seen! And she was so tiny! But: she smiled at me. And it was real! As, if this woman would be alive and you see her in a cafe two desks next to you!
I don't think she is so famous, because of this theft. She is famous, because she gives the viewer the impression of a real, alive person looking at you.
I don't think Usenet failed. It declined.
It was a platform for "first hour" internet users, the early "internet natives", mostly nerds, like us.
When the masses appeared on the "intarwebs" the web would be the place to go, with all it's flashy hypermedia and uniform way of use (no separate client needed, same philosophy, etc.)
Each time I search for something, the first two, three pages, maybe even more, are just shops and affiliate link sites, that offer the thing I want information about. At least, if thing is a product. Not a single forum reference. I need to add the keyword "forum" in order to get such results. To me that is typical corporate degeneration and decline. Too big to fail, to trashy to be relevant any longer, instead, however, omnipresent.
It's not. It's much more simple, than anything else I know. XPath, and its higher-up XQuery make it a breeze! XSD, while not perfect, can be easily displayed as a graphical diagram. What you, however, need, and there is no way around it, is a specialized XML IDE or an IDE, that has "understood" XML.
I said:
> I do not think one should reject any social privileges one has
to which you replied:
> Putting barriers up to prevent this sort of thing
If you reread my comment, you may find, that I mentioned explicetly, not to put barriers on "this sort of thing" but instead respecting the fact, that some people just have no chance to enter a group, without the group taking additional steps in finding them.
