As someone who is actively working in this space: yeah, it’s definitely not enough. This is the bare minimum. We need sweeping regulations nationwide. Unfortunately, this is becoming less and less likely. The best we can hope for at this point is for states like Colorado and California to put in the work to measure and regulate this stuff as best as possible and get enough data on Texas and New Mexico to shame them into doing something about it.
I literally bought a used pixel 3a bc of your last post. Really stoked for this!
It doesn’t matter what he intended. It matters what actions his audience will take.
on top of that, this whole plea to the rich fucks in the audience is just gonna make them think “you’re right, I do need to think about my children. I better amass as much wealth as possible, so that no matter how fucked the world gets, my children in particular can buy their way to the best life.”
Architectural blueprints have been explicitly covered by copyright in the US since 1990, but were likely implicitly covered before then.
He could always provide an open-source license before claiming that he is “open sourcing” his designs. You could always check for a license before claiming that something is open-source. Putting the onus on people after the fact to make those previous claims true doesn’t make any sense.
very cool. don’t see a license, though. no open source license => not open source.
By percentage of fossil fuel use per area? By watts of fossil fuels? By CO2-equivalent estimated emissions in a given area? Normalized by population somehow?
There is a lot missing here that is necessary to make it a meaningful plot.
This is pretty, but what is the point of it?
Now that I’m deep in it with flakes + home manager + impermanence + disko/nixos-anywhere, it’s fantastic having this much control and stability on all my systems, and I’m excited to start switching as much of my homelab as I can over to NixOS like my workstations.
But I totally agree, I would not recommend this to anyone who is not super interested in it.
I honestly don’t really know. I know that The Environmental Defense Fund and The Clean Air Task Force have a strong presence in the state, so it may be worth donating or volunteering for them.
I’m personally working on this problem. It sucks, and the politics are frustrating as hell, but the people working at the State of CO to reign in oil and gas are making every penny of funding work as hard as it can.
For me the reasons were:
I have a desktop gaming PC, a framework laptop, and a 2014 macbook air. Having one config that I can share between them makes maintaining all the systems that much easier.
Using Arch I would either be in two states, and NixOS works great for both:
I’m not using any specific computer very often and I just want it to work when I turn it on, and I need to not worry that if I go too long without updates I’ll break something.
I’m playing around with some brand new software which usually means installing unstable dependencies from the AUR, and rolling back or containing those changes is difficult, so I end up breaking something, and then updates become a huge pain until I need to just wipe everything and reinstall
I basically went straight to using flakes when I switched from Arch to NixOS, so I can’t speak to channels.
I use home-manager as a NixOS module. It’s a bit clunky, but it works well.
I was told when I started to basically never use nix-env, so I don’t.
For development environments (I do both rust and python), I use https://github.com/the-nix-way/dev-templates
My config is here if you want something to work from https://github.com/thejevans/nix-config
I will continue to work to regulate oil and gas from within the government (my job), and I will do my best at that, but it is definitely not enough.
It’s important to take the easy wins where we can that will potentially slow the climate crisis while fighting for more. There is no reason we can’t do both.
To make life easier for yourself, I’d highly recommend running Linux on a separate drive. The Linux distribution installers I’ve used will install the bootloader on whatever drive you choose to install on, but the windows installer will use the storage controller’s port ordering to choose which drive to install on.
Your best bet is to simply disconnect the Windows drive when installing Linux and to disconnect the Linux drive when installing Windows, then just use the BIOS boot selection screen to choose which OS to boot into.
You can add your Windows drive to Grub and you might be able to add your Linux distro to your Windows bootloader, but keeping them entirely separate is probably best.
I preordered the new screen for my 2nd-gen. This is all great news!
I use porkbun for my domains, cloudflare for dns, ddclient connecting to the cloudflare api for dynamic dns, and traefik as a reverse proxy to send subdomains to their respective service.
The only part I have to pay for is the porkbun domain.
$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.
Yeah, I tried it with hyprland and COSMIC. I’m currently using KDE, but if I get enough energy to configure hyprland on NixOS, I’ll switch to that. COSMIC wouldn’t let me use Steam, so I had to switch back to KDE. Tiling on COSMIC was really nice, though.
I run a DualUp as well. I love it
That sounds great! I’d definitely be interested
