I have a Mikrotik router, 2x VLAN-enabled switches, and 3x VLAN-enabled APs. My Internet access broke every day for a month while I figured out what I was doing.

France made a big mistake to go all in.

Not only does Germany import electricity from France (which comes from...?), but Germany has (according to this) a substantially higher carbon footprint per capita.

If the only issue is cost and projects taking longer than expected, isn't that a good tradeoff for carbon neutral power?

And yes, of course, I would prefer renewables, you would prefer renewables, we all would. But it's somewhat disingenuous to decry the use of nuclear, advocate for renewables, and at the same time, rely heavily on coal, as Germany does (or at the very least, did recently.

I'm not a big fan

I see what you did there.

AFAIK in the USA, nuclear energy is the safest per unit energy generated. Solar is more "dangerous" simply because you can fall off a roof.

Nuclear energy has huge risks and potential for safety issues, yes. But sticking to the numbers, it is extremely safe.

Completely agree.

The Wikipedia article itself has this to say:

Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors who are unable to support the new extensions.

By that logic Lemmy/Mastodon/fediverse are already extinguished. Those of us in the fediverse are already "marginalized" wrt Twitter/Threads/Facebook/whatever.

There are very good reasons to hate Meta, but personally, I think EEE isn't the biggest issue.

Slack killed IRC integration mid 2018.

What exactly did Slack "allow" though? The continued existence of an ancient protocol with a niche but dedicated following of predominantly "old school" tech people?

Absolutely.

Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.

Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.

And then Slack killed that feature...but it absolutely didn't kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.

My prediction is it'll be the same

what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller "proper" instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.

Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong...

Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn't help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).

Either way, glad this is "only" a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.

We really need to see info from the BIOS

exact CPU model, RAM speed, etc.

As others have pointed out, this is a pretty anachronistic build

i586 with DDR1 is just weird, so it's possible there's some really niche hardware and you may need an exotic kernel (or kernel options) to get anything to boot.

That said: have you just tried running a standard live or install CD from that time period? You could try booting a 2001 Slackware installer to see what happens.

Can you post the CPU info? I think it should be available from the BIOS.
