The statement that “SMR exist because small reactors exist in nuclear vessels” is disingenuous, if not an outright lie. These reactors are small, but are not mass produced in factories and then assembled on site in a paint by numbers way that SMRs are pitched as. They are each bespoke, horrifying expense reactors that are just smaller than standard land based reactors. The designs are not “assembly line” ready at all.

They are designed for a certain size, but also for warfare. They spare literally no expense when making them, and do things that no civilian plant should ever do. The cost per megawatt is astronomical. Just unimaginably expensive, to the point of being instant commercial dead ends. Literally none of their designs would be considered usable, even if they weren’t military secrets.

The truth of the matter is that no one on earth has a working SMR design. The US goverment dumped hundreds of millions of subsidies into them recently and the companies all failed. This 15 billion for 4 plants next to Toronto, a city Doug Ford hates, is likely a mix of vendetta and media blitz for Ontario to deflect from their minimal renewals commitment.

VW signed various deals with Rivian a bit back, so I assume they are helping them get back on track.

There is not, but Infuse is what the Jellyfin project officially recommends.

Its a wildly popular niche game for good reason.

It’s the defacto automation game, and can get pretty wildly funny with multiplayer co-op. Players slot into niches and ted to focus on building out X or Y and when these things meet can be hilarious.

It also has a versus mode where you race to build bases on a shared map and kill your opponents first.

Looking at the trees brings most of the relief, so I expect even those are just as calming as long as you don’t touch them and don’t know what they are.

Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren’t local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.

Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a “simple” end user experience if you set it up for them.

Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.

They sold to private equity a couple years back. The enshittification started that day.

Ive been using pop-os for my desktop for years. Ive had no update headaches, roll back issues, or anything else that would compel me to swap distros for one that made these things better.

So to answer your question:

None of the above are compelling features that justify the work to switch off an already very stable distro.

If you’re going to do something wrong, do it wrong right.

Yup, they cleared out a restaurant and likely gave him the clothes he was kidnapped in.

Its a PR move. “Ohh look, he just lives in el salvador now, no biggie. He goes to restaurants! Hes not in a brutal, filthy supermax prison where youre in solitary confinement for 23.5hrs/day!”

Use the tmux resurrect plugin. It will restore your tmux session to its previous state after a restart, including programs if you like.

You can put off doing things “correctly™” even longer.

The app points back to always on servers you have setup to automatically download media on their own.

It wont do anything for you if you fire up a torrent client and go download media manually.

Smart lights should be used rarely because they have a failure state. Smart switches are the answer here for most lighting. These are light switches that also have radios in them to connect to zigbee/zwave/matter/whatever to control the switch if the connection is available.

Lutreon sells high quality, but somewhat expensive ones that work flawlessly.

That’s Steve from gamers nexus. They do consumer/prosumer computer hardware reviews, but also deep dives into industry practices, often exposing shady or illegal behavior.

He is lovingly referred to as gamer jesus due his scruffy look, generally affable nature, and habit of trying to right wrongs in the industry.
