Never have I felt so vindicated, or so shitty about being vindicated, as I do whenever I recall being loudly booed at an SF convention ten years ago for saying “Elon Musk is not Tony Stark, he’s not your friend, & he’s not out to save anyone or anything.”

I should start paying attention to Canada/Québec politics again. I've been hyperfocused on Russia's aggression against Ukraine, but there are some significant changes in the political landscape happening in Canada, too. I'm wholly on the side of Ms. Freeland, and I totally see how a person who has long fought against oligarchy (see her book "Plutocrats") would be ill-fitting in Trudeau's government that is trying to play footsies with the incoming king of oligarchs South of the border.

I know, I'll use the US flag for English, and the France flag for French. At least this way I'll equally piss off anglophone and francophone québecois.

(This is wix.com, by the way, who even in 2024 can't conceive that a single country can use multiple languages.)

Ugh, I'm not doing this again. It's one thing to gamify things, and totally another to add stress and anxiety to your language learning.

Not quite the murderous piece of absolute sh*t dictator I was hoping for, but hopefully 2024 has a few good surprises left in it yet.

Honestly, we are currently out of ideas on how to restore access to Codeberg.org.

We are fighting with extreme traffic and high load for several hours now, we have done the typical procedure to identify and block misbehaving AI crawlers.

However, we are currently having a hard time figuring out details about the ongoing high traffic situation.

I'm listening to "Hail Mary" and it's such an Obama era book, all the on-Earth bits make me cringe (or laugh).

My other idea is using insulated tanks of distilled water buried in the ground for residential peak shaving. Overnight, the water is heated to 90°C using cheap excess capacity. During the morning peak, the heat pump uses it as a source of readily available heat for central heating. You can even have a fully mechanical heat pump "trickle-heating" the water during the night from a small wind turbine, since you just need to run the compressor and move the liquids around. There should be enough wind to heat up a tank of water even with a small backyard turbine.

I'm a complete dilettante in this, so I'm probably missing 99 reasons why this would be a lot more difficult.
