@p @tard @fluffy I don't believe storage + intermittent will ever be a solution. Industrial scale electrolyzers are not efficient and do not work well with intermittent power.

@p @fluffy Six years ago, Friendica.eskimo.com didn't exist, I had an account on Farcebook and Twatter. I was 60-61 around that time, diabetic, and I lived in Shoreline, WA. A half mile down from me there was a FEMA tent hospital treating victims overflowing the regular insurance profit, er, hospital system. A half mile in the other direction a crematorium that they were stuffing bodies in as fast as they could and I could smell the burning flesh at my home. So do I get vaxed or not?I spent some time on VAERS, reviewing the reports, I saw quite a few anaphylactic shock cases (bad allergy reactions), and quite a few neurological side effects as well as regular deaths, severe organ damage, and other issues, and given that I had recently largely recovered from bad peripheral neuropathy and I had allergies to half the known universe and an immune system that was generally over-reactive, I opted not to.My oldest son meanwhile worked for Fluke and was told, get vaxed or get unemployed, he caved. So time goes on, he gets a booster, gets heart issues that require a CPAP where before he had been fine.And then the actual disease came, I got it twice, both times for me it was essentially a common cold lasting five days, he gets it three times, one of those times with a fever of 102 something, don't remember 102.7 or .9, something on that order, and nearly needed to be hospitalized.So at this point it was clear the vax wasn't protecting him, he got it more times than my 25 year old older unprotected self, and much more severe.I further found not only were most of the people around here who died from it 80+, but also many 80+ getting vaxed were dropping dead.So I post about this in both Farcebook and Twatter and got banned. This seemed to be some sort of human culling they didn't want interrupted. So ok, I run an ISP, I have hosting resources, and so I tried various platforms that were federated, and finally settled on Friendica with BookFace theme as a replacement for Farcebook less the nazi administration and Mastodon as a replacement for Twatter.Initially I ran it on an i8-6850k machine, this is a 6-core 12-thread machine with 128mb and clocked at 4Ghz. Performance was inadequate, database could only handle around 300 transactions per second, and so could not keep up with incoming messages and response was sluggish. One of my i7-6700k boxes bit the dust so I opted to replace the motherboard with a x299 gigabyte aorus master and replace the power supply with a 1200 watt Seasonic, and increase RAM to 256GB, add two nvme drives for the root partition setup as RAID one, and equip the rest of the machine with disk that was also setup as raid 1 array. I moved the database to the RAID 1 array, made the innodb cache large enough that the entire database could operate out of RAM, created a tempfs system for overflow tables so even they would happen in RAM.The result, a database capable of more than 10,000 tps and a Friendica and Mastodon node that were responsive and pleasant to use. So now I have a platform that the deathsquads can't censor me from, or other users who choose to use it and right now that's about 4500 users.So the fact that something isn't done yet doesn't mean that it can't be, and I'm not shy about doing it or at least contributing to it. Hopefully others will find encouragement.

@p @fluffy Again, I've tracked most of the players and tech involved, I disagree with you with respect to how much is unknown, the pieces are all there they just aren't in one place and I'm working on that.

@bajax @tard @p @fluffy I think solid state batteries have much promise but there is the issue of adequate ion mobility in a solid material. That said what I've read about these batteries is more rumor than actual test data so I haven't a lot of concrete data upon which to base an opinion but I will note that most commercial solid state batteries aren't completely solid and are some sort of hybrid designs because of the ion mobility in solids issue. That said, I am hoping something positive develops, I personally would love an electric car as a primary city driver since the majority of my trips are under 100 miles in a day, but lithium fires dissuades me. But as grid storage I don't think conventional batteries will ever scale sufficiently. Redox flow batteries I believe are about the only chemical battery technology with enough scalability to be useful at grid levels, but thus far they rely on vanadium and vanadium although about as abundant in the Earth's crust as copper, rarely exists in concentrated form and thus is expensive to extract and most comes from China, Russia, South Africa.

@TurboKitty Yes we're going to have cases where the Judicial Branch tries to step on the Executive Branch just as the Executive Branch steps on the Legislative, and round and round we go because that is the nature of the government we have. Most likely this a lower liberal court that doesn't much are what the constitution says, it only cares that the opposing party is in office and so resist at all costs. And so it will be bumped up the latter the Supreme eventually. In the meantime it just increases the pain for everyone.

@Leyonhjelm @fluffy @p I won't go that extreme but I think unproven experimental technologies that have no control for dosage, no adequate control for what organs they go to, and no knowledge of what damage they will do when they get there should be avoided.

@Leyonhjelm @p @fluffy Because many artificial things have benefits and relatively low harm, penicillin, blood pressure drugs, etc, and I do believe MRNA tech has potential, but I think its' ten years away from being mature enough to be safe. I'm not a Luddite, not afraid of new technology, but I also understand things need to be tested outside the human body, then double blind placebo control safety tests first on a small number of cohorts, then if successful on a larger, then efficacy testing, finally when you roll them out you monitor and if people are dying you take the item off the market until the issues can be resolved. But what little testing was done on Covid vax showed it wasn't ready for prime time, but deployed widely anyway, then when people were dying en masse and being maimed, it wasn't withdrawn from the market, or not even restricted to use in very high risk patience, it was even forced upon young children at virtually no risk from the virus and many of them died or were severely injured, and all of this done with the manufacturers exempted from liability, and WHY was liability exempted? Because they KNEW these things weren't ready but the billions of dollars overrode their better judgement as massive amounts of dollars are won't to do. I think for it to be safe several things have to happen. First off the effective dosage varied wildly because individual humans vary wildly in terms of how much protein they generate from MRNA, so to be safe either pre-testing needs to be done or some method of self limiting once a certain concentration of target proteins is generated, and the artificial nucleotide that causes this to be present in some peoples bodies years after vaccination needs to be removed. Lastly the nano-lipid delivery system carried the MRNA to organs that don't regenerate resulting in damaged hearts, kidneys, brain, and nerves. This needs to be addressed. Lastly bodily autonomy ALWAYS needs to be rejected and having something forcibly injected should never be an option.

@CartyBoston Trump has already committed to not using force to take Greenland, so yea not sure why someone would still be protesting 20% of our population being illegal immigrants, many of them voting, most not contributing to our economy.

@klaatu @Smeetoo But not everyone has a device that is SMS capable and e-mail in secure in many cases, where was my Yubikey is not only more convenient but is something I have not something you give me and thus not something that can be intercepted.

@ryan @klaatu @Smeetoo Honestly I think nothing is being secured except marketing data. I.E. they are "securing" your e-mail and/or SMS number to spam you. This is why Yubikey is such an unattractive option for them, they can't spam a Yubikey.

@Rasp Maybe you could prepare a hand-written note, obviously you can write as attested by the post above, and by writing it advance you don't have to be functional to write it at the time beyond just handing it to them. Then again you could invest in a 50 cent pair of ear plugs and just stay where you are.

@Rasp While I agree with you the issues I can see are a multi-tude, in a college the student body can be huge, depending upon the class or lecture situation the room can be very crowded, and the professor or instructor can not reasonably be equipped to know the special needs of every student, and a student in a state of mental overload can have not only difficulty communicating them but even navigating a large moving crowd to escape that situation. I agree as much autonomy as possible is best, but also immediacy, the ability to narrow the input immediately when it's overloading the brains ability to filter it. I realize sensory overload is not just audible but that's one channel you can have immediate effective and autonomous control over leaving more mental bandwidth to address the remainder.

@Rasp Yes I realize that, then you're left with whatever autonomy you can get and even navigating a crowd given the autonomy can be a challenge, so narrowing the input immediately can be the first recourse, hence earplugs.

@tauon I am learning rust, not so much because my own discipline with memory is poor but because rust forces it on everyone so I feel it is solution that allows efficiency while enforcing discipline.
