https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/11/280-million-e-bikes-are-slashing-oil-demand-far-more-than-electric-vehicles/ We cannot replace all petrol cars with EVs. And we cannot give the whole global population a western standard of living and an EV (or more) per family. We need smaller cars (EVs are typically very heavy) and sub-cars, like ebikes or maybe podbike frikar
Did you know you could control brightness of the red dot on the i of the "ThinkPad" on the top-side of your thinkpad? I sure didn't:
this turns it off:
```
echo 0 | tee /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:lid_logo_dot/brightness
```
and this turns it on:
```
echo 255 | tee /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:lid_logo_dot/brightness
```
I don't really know what this information is good for, but hey, isn't it awesome to have a 1px display on the outside of your laptop?
@creachadair this is an underappreciated facet of Go IMO, how packages were carefully designed to not require mass retraversal on rebuild.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

All these years later, I just can’t get comfortable with a computer platform where you can write code for it, but the vendor gets to say whether or not people can run your code.
I thought that was wrong the day it was announced and still do.
The money says I’m in a minority. I’m comfortable with that.
The Web remains the only platform without a proprietor. Treasure it.
Gandi price increases are fucking wild this year. All below are per year including taxes...
A .uk is going from £9.46 to £11.99. And a .dev is going from £14.96 to £17.99.
And domains will no longer include any free mailboxes.
Meanwhile mailboxes are going from £4.44 per mailbox to £35.88 per mailbox.
I have 5 .co.uk domains, 3 .dev domains and 3 mailboxes. So total annual cost for me is going from £92.18 to £221.56, a 140% price increase.
If you had just one .co.uk domain and were using a single mailbox you'd see the annual cost go from £9.46 to £45.34, a 379% price increase.
I know inflation is high right now but what the utter fuck?
Looks like I need to find another domain registrar. Any recommendations?
Alright, the Earth has only one mechanism for releasing heat to space, and that’s via (infrared) radiation. We understand the phenomenon perfectly well, and can predict the surface temperature of the planet as a function of how much energy the human race produces. The upshot is that at a 2.3% growth rate (conveniently chosen to represent a 10× increase every century), we would reach boiling temperature in about 400 years. https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2012/04/economist-meets-physicist/
Could we try to fix the security issue that is MITM on TOFU in SSH by using Web PKI? https://paul.totterman.name/posts/ssh-pki-web-pki/
🚨 Important: Gandi.net has been acquired by Your.Online 🚨
There is a backstory here - which I will explain. The TL;DR: if you have any trust or whatsoever in Gandi, you should seriously reconsider.
Your.online was previously known as TWS (Total Webhosting Solutions), one of the three big investors in the Dutch hosting market. Together with Team.blue and Group.one they own the majority of the hosting brands.
If TWS acquires a new brand, the prices skyrocket [1/3]
