I don’t think these updates are security updates though?

Yeah it feels like most people on MCC multiplayer have been playing for longer than I’ve been alive, snipers especially. Luckily the other modes are a little better, so you can deselect snipers and play something else. Or just play firefight like I do lol

I’m not letting this misinformation without any citations go uncontested. I’ll try to cite my claims but really the burden of proof lies with you, so I shouldn’t have needed to do this in the first place.

Solar is highly unreliable,

Sure, weather conditions can vary the power output of PV cells (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X23006734). This is why batteries are typically built with them, which usually completely solves this problem.

requires endless mining of non renewable materials,

One of many double standards here. This is correct, metals like silver and copper are needed to make cells (https://blog.ucs.org/charlie-hoffs/mining-raw-materials-for-solar-panels-problems-and-solutions/), but they are minor components and are one-time costs. The same goes for batteries, although they need quite a bit of lithium. But are we going to ignore the fact that uranium is also a non-renewable material? And since it’s a fuel, this is the material that is truly endlessly mined. One-time uses of mined materials is far better than continuously mining (and refining) uranium to power these reactors.

takes up insane amounts of space to make the same power as any other method,

Couldn’t find a source quickly, but you can put panels above parking lots or grazing areas to provide shade, so it’s not wasted space. Also, nuclear waste needs to be put somewhere…

requires endless manufacturing (and disposal) of batteries that are also made with mined, toxic materials that end up in landfill,

Already addressed the materials issue above, but would like to note that batteries can be recycled. Also, would you rather literal nuclear waste in your backyard?

and the cost of transmission infrastructure needed are in the trillions.

I don’t understand what this means. Are you implying that adding solar as a power source requires infrastructure that nuclear doesn’t? Other than the batteries that they would presumably be built with.

Nuclear as the backbone, topped up with solar, is the only realistic way to the fabled “net zero”.

Ah, here it is: the “nuclear as a backbone” argument. This is an absurd argument to be making considering the energy grid composition in Australia right now. Firstly, there is no legislation or expertise here to even start construction of such a plant. This is already ridiculously expensive compared to solar + batteries (https://www.csiro.au/en/research/technology-space/energy/Electricity-transition/GenCost), but building even a SMR would take decades, at a minimum. This would mean extending the lifetime of existing coal- or gas- fired power plants to cover needs during that time, costing millions more. Secondly, we don’t need a “nuclear backbone”, renewables already make up 36% of energy generation (https://www.energy.gov.au/energy-data/australian-energy-statistics/renewables), and continues to get more affordable as time goes on. We’d be spending way more and burning more fossil fuels for a “realistic way to net zero”?

Face it, renewables already have this handled here. There is no reason to continue down the nuclear rabbit hole, unless you happen to have coal and gas industry interests in mind. Do you?

That’s it, tysm!!

also, it is a very good read from what I remember, I will definitely enjoy rereading

Ah I remember now, your post was about whether your college education was worth it. My apologies

Hey, you never told me what you thought of your newfound knowledge about solar cycles and mRNA vaccines, your post got deleted for some reason

How about you actually research the things you’re talking about? The solar cycle does affect Earth’s climate, but current scientific consensus says that its impact is marginal compared to the greenhouse effect, which has had 270 times a greater effect on climate change compared to the effect from the solar cycle source. It isn’t possible for the Earth’s orbit or solar activity to have had this much of an impact over such a short period of time.

As for mRNA vaccines, how are they not considered vaccines? Sure, they’re different from the traditional vaccines where they inject dead or very weak cells. What mRNA vaccines do is they inject the mRNA of a part of the pathogen (like a spike protein), along with sugar to encourage your cells to take it inside, then have the ribosomes print out that part of the pathogen inside your own cells. If you understood anything about the immune system, you’d know this is genius, because to the immune system this looks like a genuine infection, while there is zero actual risk of infection because there aren’t any actual pathogens in the vaccine. So the end effect is the same (or better!) than traditional vaccines, the immune system gains immunity, and the risk of side effects are lower because you can’t accidentally get infected in the process.

FYI Vaultwarden is simpler and should be easier to self-host

for ten years

That’s still ~ €700/month

If I’m understanding this right, you have run the script linked and also installed CryoUtilities separately?

In that case, I’d run A.B.T’s “revert” script in the Medium post (looks reasonable at a glance?), and uninstall CryoUtilities using the instructions on their GitHub.

I think you would definitely want to have CryoUtilities uninstalled before SDWEAK, since ananicy-cpp would probably conflict. But I would highly recommend backups before running arbitrary commands on your deck 😅

I think you may be misunderstanding what the command did. This command basically downloaded a shell script with curl, then ran it with sh. If you’re familiar with Windows this is equivalent to downloading and running a Batch or PowerShell script.

EDIT: someone else has posted the shell script you ran. You essentially need to manually undo whatever is in the script in the terminal.

I’ve had this problem as well, I believe you can override the option in your librewolf.overrides.cfg file and set that option to be an empty string, and that should fix it?

Schrödinger’s cat was fictional, I don’t see your point

I have a very similar use case to you, and when I built my PC I just never installed Windows on it. Linux is a great development environment (imo strictly superior to Windows but ymmv), and gaming is almost flawless with Proton. Only problems with that has been from the immature RX 9070 XT drivers, so not too bad.

Depending on what you program with I’d highly recommend exclusively using a Linux VM for it. Then you can fully switch once you’re comfortable working out the kinks.

Someone’s made a comparison of a few ROMs here.

Personally, I’d recommend GrapheneOS like the other commenters have here, but do your own research!

I think so, and it might even be a feature of the upstream Microsoft OSS Pyright, so even that version should(?) have those features available

BasedPyright should have you covered on the Python end, the downside is you also need to install the PyPi package.

Have used it and it’s excellent, even has additional features over Pylance

It has been a while since I’ve used it, but when I did it felt sluggish and missed some ads. It’s probably the only choice if you’re looking for something free though (besides 1blocker, haven’t tried that one)

Wipr 2 is a great paid ad blocker. Unfortunately most iOS blockers don’t work too well beyond this one and AdGuard (and I haven’t had the greatest experience with the latter either)

You may want to check out this thread from GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114235396540176085 They are technically competing, but their points about lack of support and slow update speeds are still valid.
