@SerFinchalot he probably is, but the language of the ears says he is also quite alert.

Kibbles? Treats? Or is there a threat lurking?

Our rehomed kitty often is fending off bad memories when her ears are positioned like that.

@TechConnectify great to see a new video from you!

For some use cases, such as personal aviation, ye olde 4-stroke engine is not very likely to be replaced by electrics any day soon (unless someone invents a really lightweight extension cord). For these, synthetic fuels would probably be the most environmentally friendly solution.

Have you ever seen any research into turning excess solar power into e-fuels? The hard part is probably not the chemical or the physics part, but making the process economically viable with just excess electricity. That said, it might just be the stuff to fill a gap in the transition.

The good news is someone just made oil a lot more expensive so more people may realize that cheap fossil fuels are not a given.

@paco when I got my Commodore PET 2001, the previous owner threw in a handwritten disassembly of the entire BASIC ROM. I learned a lot from that, and it kindled my interest in languages.

Unfortunately the 6502 is one of those modern integrated devices, so no peeking under the hood there. But when the PDP8 at school came with full schematics, and the whole thing turned out to be constructed using TTL chips I already knew, that too was weeks of exploration, fun and learning.

Way back in 1993, I tried to get my name attached to an amicus brief for USL vs BSDi. Apparently, I missed my target as there is no mention whatsoever of my name in the docket for 832 F. Supp. 790 (1993). But if today you are using MySQL or any of its derivatives, and enjoy having an alternative to the 800 pound (albeit very nice) gorilla that PostgreSQL has become, you may want to review this petition:

Open Letter — Invitation to Discuss the Future of the MySQL Ecosystem

Add your name to this open letter and stand with thousands of others calling for change.

(letter.3306-db.org)

I just signed it. And it's weird to name an open source entity as the 800 pound gorilla.

@0xabad1dea You may want to invest in a powered exoskeleton if ever you want to carry Odin home!
