I don’t understand this, if it’s installable on gentoo using the default method of building from source then it has to be open source, right?
Or have I misunderstood gentoo? I considered trying it once, but didn’t fancy compiling everything on a potato.
There are quite a lot of people in the workforce now who are so young they won’t remember that!
We left reddit for a variety of reasons, but one of them for me was not liking the bots that just repost old content again and again (including other bots that copy/post top comments from the last time it was posted).
Yes it’s possible to filter/block if it’s contained to one instance or community, but mirroring all that is such a waste of resources.
This one gave me a laugh, what happens if someone walks in before you de captain now?
This is me too, I don’t really understand why it’s like that but I’m SO productive at night.
Maybe it’s about having eaten a really good meal or something? Or just all the other distractions disappearing?
I feel like there must be some a more scientific reason!
They look great!
So satisfying when you find a good bargain as well.
Often we achieve very uplifting things with a huge amount of diligent hard work and planning.
It’s rarely uplifting in the arty/poetic/slightly “wishy washy” sense of the OP though.
If you want a specific example, my last project was a big concrete box bridge (6000t), it was built off to the side of the railway and pushed into position using enormous strand jacks. This allowed the railway to remain open apart from ~10 days over Christmas. It took 3 years to do all the design and construction including the temporary works design (construction methodology); all the planning paid off because it was installed successfully, within tolerance and on programme.
The bridge will last at least 120 years and will allow more rail freight instead of road transportation, which has environmental and social benefits.
We designed the bridge so that you could install overhead electrification in future if the rest of the network was upgraded (so you could use electric rather than diesel powered vehicles).
Basically, you achieve impressive things by doing a lot of hard technical work. It’s a bit of a different mindset to writing poems about beams sharing loads.
No, but a lot of us are more prone to just doing everything ourselves rather than communicating and working together in a big team.
High yield stress!
Most structural engineers are a lot less uplifting than this.

Yeah fair enough, no doubt getting countries to agree that corporations should be accountable for “accidental” damage to the enviroment would be even more difficult than getting them to sign up to this!
Not sure if they would come under #11?
It’s probably mostly because it says “the gravest crime against humanity” and not “a grave crime against humanity”. Except for the US, which always seems to vote against anything that might bind it.
There are 11 types of crimes against humanity in the Rome charter (must be widespread/systemic and targeted against civilian population):
Can you sound insulate a garden?
Again, I think if you read the article you’ll understand their issues a lot better.
Like everyone else on Lemmy I recommend an ad blocker!
Anyway, I’m sure that having read the article now you noticed that the couple in question are worried about the noise because they have an autistic daughter and moved there to get away from noise, which she’s especially sensitive to.
I’m not sure how it’s relevant that a substation from any other source wouldn’t be worse is relevant? If the panels weren’t behind their house then the substation wouldn’t be there either.
Small modular reactors? For the UK in particular these are a good option as we use the same tech in nuclear subs.
Or if you want to do solar specifically, lots of smaller scale solar developments that don’t take over an entire area (like 4 fields of solar in the middle of lots of normal fields, so you can avoid it or walk around it and it doesn’t create an enormous “no go” zone next to a rural village.
I don’t think anyone in this thread is really acknowledging the scale of this development, it’s a 1400 hectare site of which 900ha is panels. If you made that into a square it would he 3km x 3km of panels!
The noise is from the substation (it says so in the article).
Did you read the article?
One of the new plants being built in this area, Tillbridge, is the largest solar development to be granted planning permission so far. The project will cover approximately 1,400 hectares (3,460 acres), equivalent to 2,000 football pitches.
That’s absolutely enormous!
They are covering the area with panels because there is an existing grid connection from an old power station nearby that they can re-use. Makes sense from an engineering perspective but it’s a shocking planning decision, it’s not like a few fields of solar in the middle of lots of normal fields, people who live there now will be surrounded by them.
It really seems like bad policy to me, it turns something that should be a positive symbol that you could feel proud of as a local, into something that will feel really oppressive.
You’ve called these people racist, doubtless some are but I expect the majority are just desperate and only support reform because the alternatives aren’t representing them well on this issue.
For those like me who hadn’t heard of it:
CachyOS ships every package optimized for your CPU - compiled with x86-64-v3/v4 and Zen4 instructions, LTO, and PGO - on top of a custom kernel with the tuned EEVDF scheduler. The result: a noticeably faster Arch Linux experience with the same rolling-release flexibility you expect.
