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.

And the Luddites were right

Fitting a 100W battery in the 13 inch chassis while keeping everything easily serviceable would be impossible

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 this Plano Rack System tackle box

Getting industry to cap the wells is a hard problem that is being solved, but more slowly than it should be. The problem is these wells were drilled and used when they were producing a lot by massive companies with lots of profits.

Then, when they were less profitable, they were sold to smaller companies with much tighter margins. Then those small companies can’t continue to operate them without losing money and they don’t have enough money to cap the wells, so they abandon them.

If we ask the smaller companies to cap the wells, they’ll go bankrupt, stop buying wells, and disappear. I don’t have a problem with this outcome necessarily, but it won’t get the wells capped because the companies will go bankrupt instead of paying and it will consolidate all oil and gas power to the big companies (close to the current state of affairs, for sure, but this would basically be absolute).

Ideally the big companies that drilled and used the majority of the oil from the well would pay, but mergers and acquisitions can often make that difficult.

For now, states are working to require funds be set aside ahead of time to pay for future well caps and are working to pay to cap abandoned wells directly, which is expensive, but could come from increased industry fees and taxes.

These oil wells are available because they are not profitable, and often because they cost more to run than they could possibly produce.

I just opened up Google Earth in Firefox to see what would happen. It’s buttery smooth with basically zero lag on loading assets, and zero lag zooming and dragging around on my 240Hz display.

I have a 1gbps symmetric fiber connection and I’m running NixOS. my Firefox Nix Home Manager config is here:

I just walked from my office to get some lunch. There are a few options nearby, which is nice, but to get to any of them, I have to cross multiple massive parking lots and at least two non-signaled pedestrian crossings at stop signs that are 40+ feet wide. Between walking the 1/4 mile to lunch and back, I had 3 cars almost back out of a parking spot while I was walking by, and had one van roll into the crosswalk right in front of me at a stop sign.

EDIT: Also, there are only sometimes sidewalks available.

Unfortunately, Obsidian isn’t FOSS, but I do sync it with my own server and it does store everything in plain-text, so when something better comes along it will be easy enough to switch.

Thanks for the kind words, though!

nope, open-source. claiming that they are releasing under an open-source license is speculation. The only thing we can claim is source-available.

sure, and while we wait, claiming that they are releasing it as open-source is speculation, so lets not do that.

You can contribute to things that don’t have open source licenses, it’s just probably a dumb idea.

Again, with the probable ADHD, that sort of workflow would never work for us. I can understand why you want to get away from it.

I have ADHD. Setting it up took some time and effort, but I haven’t had to mess with it since.

There is nothing here saying it will be FOSS or open-source, just source-available.

I have been on a similar search.

I don’t think Joplin does real-time collaboration, if that is the kind of collaboration you’re looking for. If you don’t expect you and your wife to edit documents at the same time, it may work for you. For me, I almost exclusively want to real-time edit lists with my partner.

My current system gets around real-time collaboration needs by using 3 obsidian notes in a shared obsidian vault. For example, my partner and I each have a grocery list with a dataview showing the other’s list in their own. That way my partner can edit their list and I can see what they’re editing while doing the same on mine, thus avoiding collisions. Then, I have an in-store grocery list view that joins the two lists and groups by isle, and we just check off things on a single phone as we put them in the cart.

I would LOVE to get away from this system.

Hedgedoc 2.0 will have an Explore Page when it comes out, and with that, I think it will solve my use case. It has a good-enough mobile interface, and markdown isn’t terrible.

For the music festival, have you considered something more robust like a wiki?

I just switched from Nobara to NixOS on my gaming PC. I’ve had NixOS on my laptop for almost a year and decided I’m comfortable enough with it to use it full time, and it works great for gaming.

Before NixOS, I was a die-hard Arch user. The only reasons it would break were because I was trying a bunch of stuff from AUR to play around with Wayland + Nvidia when that was brand new, or when I would forget to update for a while.

It breaking was primarily due to me tinkering around and not fully undoing those changes. Now I can do that with no fear on NixOS, and it’s fabulous.
