I was thinking about this for some time, renewable is a joke, nuclear is too expensive, hydro isn't available everywhere and cause problems with downstream countries Oil and Gas as energy sources are>Scalable >Cheap and abundant >The price of a power station is dirt cheap>Less variables that can reduce the output >Tech can be improved to reduce pollution Other alternatives are just failing to meet one or most of these criteriaThe US current attempt to change Venezuela gov is a public declaration that alternatives have mostly failed and at best just reduced the need for gas and oil by small margins
>>107671189it'd be cool. I had an autistic obsession with nuclear power when I was in middle school.
>>107671706solar is not cheap, it's heavily subsidized. including the freight from china, where the majority of solar is made. it's also incredibly inefficient. you can't make solar with solar, because solar involves at its most basic levels melting huge amounts of sand. green energy is a boondoggle that exists via massive government funding. the difference between that and nuclear is that green energy never returns the amount of energy it takes to make green energy. the entire industry is effectively and energy drain and starts in teh first instance from an energy debt that it can never repay. if i wanted to destroy the world, this is how i would do it. fun fact, the british green energy strategy requires having an entire parallel conventional energy grid on idle to pick up the slack. otherwise it's rolling brownouts across the entire country. lol. lmao even.
>>107671116and the resources for your panels were extracted using machines running on oil.currently electric batteries are not powerful enough for large vehicles (trucks, excavators, backhoe loader, ...)even if we had the technology, it would still be cheaper to use gas, because gas is pure liquid energy that can be easily converted by a combustion engine.

Also these standard levels don't apply to random home videos and amateur YouTube content.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?
>>107677558>Windows up till 10 was really good.Bullshit. That was probably your first windows, you underage retard.
>>107677586Calm down nigger.Im 30+ and im saying that yes up till 10 it was still more usable then most Linux Distros. Hell nigger Linux suffers from all the homosexuals trying to rewrite into troon rust and not unified experience when it comes to desktop.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.what's your setup like?

Why is it normal for the most popular big tech sites to fully load for 5-10 seconds? I tested it on many different machines. These sites are amateur jobs.
>>107675083I've worked in multiple fagmans on core websites there's no node and extremely little python, and all the python that does exist is thin wrappers around c libraries>>107675215there is latency kpis on modern top 10 websites op doesn't understand caching or lazy loading or both
>>107677729So you have made a shitty job and I am the one who dont understand things?
>>107678068Yeah.
>>107672012It loads in 300ms on the developer's $6000 machine on localhost. How could they possibly know things such as latency, limited bandwidth and limited compute exist in the real world. They are being paid way too good to care.Maybe they'll add superduperperfoptimizer.js, which adds 240kb(gzipped) to the bundle and, uh, probably optimizes the time to first render, or something.
At these FAGMAN companies developers leave after 1.5 years on average. These companies hate their employees so the employees just don't care. No one really knows or responsible for anything.

>>107677784>Micron will continue selling its DRAM chips to Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston, etc.Fat chance, they're using this pivot to sell exclusively to datacenters and have no reason to renew contracts with 3rd parties after their supplies dries up, they get to maximize profits between US subsidies and 5x markups for datacenter RAM with no risk as they're fully ingrained in the American tech sector, once AI slows down they'll just cut jobs and production to keep their margins steady.

A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.
any userscripts that can mitigate this?
