I have used Kagi for several weeks and can’t go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don’t want to lose that again.

Interesting extension. I think I’ll give it a try.

It is entirely open source, and the website does a very good job explaining what it does and why.

It’s likely been hacked by someone who guessed the default login details (when was the last time you changed the password on your washing machine), and is being used for malicious purposes such as DDoS attacks.

I find your lack of comma disturbing.

Lithium batteries scale power and capacity at the same time. Flow batteries can scale power and capacity independently.

The advantage of flow batteries is that they can have enormous capacities without the added cost of upgrading the power, making it ideal for grid scale storage.

Even if this new flow battery reaches the energy density of a lithium battery, and can output sufficient power, it would still need to reach price parity to be competitive.

Adequate for cargo flights, not happening any time soon for passenger flights. Aviation safety is very strict and slow to change.

Flow batteries are great for long duration storage, but not good for high power delivery.

This means they will work far better as grid storage than as EV batteries.

I have a prototype self driving system in my car. It drives logically and consistently, but it doesn’t behave like a human.

This would be a really helpful feature as self driving becomes more common.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE) are entirely separate products.

Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. LMDE is being built alongside Linux Mint and is based only on Debian.

Linux Mint and LMDE are functionally the same, but LMDE is protection/insurance against Ubuntu doing something stupid.

I highly recommend Linux Mint (cinnamon) as an entry level Linux distro. It looks and feels similar to Windows, and it’s based on Ubuntu, so it has a lot of support and compatibility.

And people wonder why whales beach themselves.

Space Oddity

Where is that wire going, and what is it for?

Aaargh, that makes so much more sense now.

Hopefully I’ll remember this time.

Linux Mint Debian Edition

Try Linux Mint with Cinnamon.

Cinnamon was built for Mint. The only time I’ve run Cinnamon on another distro, I encountered a bunch of confusing bugs.

At least this will tell you which bugs are caused by Cinnamon, and which are due to the integration with a custom distro.

The current cost to drive a car with green hydrogen from electrolysis (not blue or grey hydrogen from methane reforming) is roughly equivalent to $50/L (AUD) for petrol, or $120/Gal (USD) for gas. This is one of the reasons most hydrogen today is made from fossil fuels.

A hydrogen engine is so much worse for efficiency than a hydrogen fuel cell, and even that is not good compared to batteries. I’d estimate the round trip efficiency of a hydrogen engine to be about 10-15%. So for the same energy that could be used to drive a battery EV 100km, this car from Toyota could drive 12km.

Additionally, hydrogen is not very energy dense per volume. A compressed hydrogen tank that replaces the boot/trunk of the car would have enough hydrogen for about 100km of range.

Please let me know if I’m wrong about any of these numbers. For Toyota’s sake, I really hope I’m wrong.
