I know it is done when there is one bomb by some nutters, but it seams labour intensive. Not sure how well it scales to warfare.

So they have to hope they find details on fragments left. I literally have no idea of the odds on that.

And forced the hardware obsolescence nightmare.

And the big tech surveillance nightmare.

And the nightmare of the war on general purpose computers. (OK, that is more GNU and GPLv3)

And a few other nightmares!

Also, how is Russia to know which bit of equipment is attacking them, and where is it from?

Some of us use FOSS because of access to the source and the benefits of an all FOSS system. Not because it’s zero cost. This list is just zero cost and some happen to be FOSS.

As I said, if you want to start today, solar is without doubt the way to go. If you are dealing in decades, and much more money, nuclear becomes an option. But in the time building it, you’re poluting and it’s not clear it’s even cleaner long run discounting that, let alone including it.

As a bonus, solar is safer too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accidents_by_country

So nuclear just isn’t the choice to make in 2024.

That’s part of the issue with nuclear, it’s not today. It’s a decade to do, power coal in the mean time, pouring concrete which also cause a load of CO2. When it’s finally running, it’s clean, but expensive. In the mean time you could have solar running 8 years and it is cheaper to power and install. Nuclear is going to struggle to compete. Until fusion, but even that, if it ever comes, might not be cheap enough compared. Cheap, fast and clean wins.

It’s a new area, but there are companies : https://www.recyclesolar.co.uk/

Life cycle comparing isn’t as simple as your thinking: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0301421506002758 Happy to look if you have a unbiased source for life cycle emissions comparison.

But costs and time is a no brainer: https://www.energysage.com/about-clean-energy/nuclear-energy/solar-vs-nuclear/

You as also don’t want to be burning coal for a decade while you build a nuclear power plant. Then it’s expensive to run compared to solar too. The CO2 costs of waiting for nuclear should be included for nuclear too.

Cheapest because the fuel is for free. Waste plan should be recycling.

Too late. Somewhere so sunny can get a lot of solor quickly. Building nuclear power plants takes time and releases a lot of CO2. Batteries and solor now now. Cheapest power too.

Manipulating currency is a useful tool. If you don’t think so, that makes you more liberian than me.

Like many here, I’m big into open source, and card payment systems are an issue. Crypto is one solution to that. Crypto has advantages, but it falls down as a currency because of blind faith in the invisble hand.

IP on crops is a legitimate problem. I didn’t see anything about terminator seeds, but honestly wouldn’t surprise me. Saving lives can all to be often at odds with making money. Plan probably is to take over the market and then ratchet up the price…

Advantages of cash and digital, without the swings of raw crypto. Also leaving the ability to usefully manipulate your country’s currency.

Crypto means easy, open payment systems. No gatekeepers like WorldPay.

Proof of stake uses a load less than proof of work.

Be really good if currencies could go in and out of crypto. Could cut out a lot of middle men.

They think they have a captured market. They aren’t completely wrong. Normies don’t know how to sail the high seas.

The problem is power dynamic. It is a DRM service built round closed apps. You will take what you are given and like it. You can not view their cultural work without agreeing to these terms (Legally). The deal will keep getting worse until it starts losing money.

Edit: English fixes

Be more expensive later if Putin wins, because he won’t stop at Ukraine.

Putin will want it over. It’s an embarrassment to him that Ukrainians don’t want him and have resisted him so effectively.

Just a follow up to this.

So I never ended up contacting O2 to say “please stop this”, I just used Wireguard to home and ignored it. Until the local Morrison’s wifi started doing the same thing but worse and I couldn’t event Wireguard round it.

So I finally just bought a domain and setup my Apache to redirect the old duckdns to the new domain.

So far this all seams to be working great.

There is nothing you can do in C++ or C, that can’t be done in the other. It’s the kind of the point of those languages.
