    The issue isn't emissions, it's costs. Sadly we don't live in a dream world, and everything has a cost.

    Even running excess production into hydrogen production has costs (transport, storage, infrastructure...).

    The current (not taking in consideration the new tech currently in testing) beeing highly ineficient creates many cost issues.

    Less effieicnt means that more power needs to be used to get that amount of hydrogen, reducing the gains on electricity surplus.

    The storage beeing ineficient means a higher running cost, more space used, less of that space...

    The transport beeing ineficient also increases the running costs, but also the emissions if the transport uses fossil fuel. Of it uses hydrogen, well it increases the running cost even more. That expensive produced hydrogen is used for transport...

    The electricity production from hydrogen being ineficient increases the used hydrogen to get the same energy amount, which then increases the costs because more of that expensive hydrogen has to be used.

    So taking all this into account, being "clean" doesn't necessarily make it is viable compared to other storage or energy production tech.

    The costs have to be taken in account because resources don't appear magically.

    Mining Uranium has a cost. Buying it from abroad has a cost, paying people to maintain all that has a cost...

    It's another solution, now there is also issues with costs. However with time the costs can be reduced.

    For hydrogen based on this video : https://youtu.be/M0fnEsz4Ks0 there could be some hope for large hydrogen storage for a smaller cost (not used in cars tho, due to the weight).

    Hydrogen production however is/was very ineficient. However there is also some hope for this https://youtu.be/m0d6iljzzEI

    So with this, maybe it could be an interesting solution to store energy.

    Tho I'm not sure how efficient it would be to produce energy from that stored hydrogen, and how efficient it could be for the entire hydrogen production/storing/electricity production chain.

    Well the issue with renewable power like wind and solar, is that they are not stable.

    Having a battery in order to store the energy and release it when the demand is higher than production is one part of the solution.

    But what happens when there wasn't enough solar and wind to replenish the batteries if those batteries aren't enough for the demand? Power shortages, which are pretty bad to get.

    One of the solutions to this is natural gas for a simple reason : it's very fast to start generating power or to stop. It's also not very expensive, at least when there isn't a war... The co2 equivalent emissions aren't as high as coal either.

    Nuclear power on the other hand is very hard to stop. Having a surplus of power on the grid is also very bad. Some of it could be used to recharge the batteries, but there would be some loss at some point.

    I convinced myself that manjaro is less stable than fedora. But not completely. It depends on the device and what is installed on it.

    For some reason, I was able to run Manjaro on my hp laptop without issues for a long time. However my brother on his Lenovo laptop, the manjaro update just killed itself after 2 months. And this always after some months the updater would not work anymore.

    I then installed Fedora on his laptop, and damn that thing stayed up and running for 2y now. Even after major system update, never broke, and package install always worked, at least when the tutorials are up to date on special things.

    Like installing video codecs, I had to do another command which was not mentioned on the fedora docs, in order to switch from ffmpeg libre to ffmpeg. And then the rest of the install commands would work.

    I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/Laika_Aged_Through_Blood/

    It's the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

    Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

    Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

    The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

    The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

    The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn't very punishing. The respawn points aren't too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

    There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn't that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

    But overall these little issues aren't that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.

    The Steam winter sales are here, up to the 4rth of January. What game did you enjoy playing and want to share with the community, and why? It's like a mini (or a bit larger) review for the people in the community to discover your loved game, and get it for a smaller price. Also remember to share a link to the store page to help people find the game. The game must be on sale currently and must not be a free to play game, or what would be point of this post. The release date doesn't matter. Neither the sale amount. If you enjoyed the game, it should be shared. You can put the game type/tags at the beginning of your comment if you wish so, it may help other people. Please a single game per comment if you post a review. I'll start in the comments.

    Nah, the game is utter trash not the bugs. Let's look at 3 games very hyped :

    • Redfall : game had game breaking bugs and performance issues at launch. Gameplay was bad. No one played it.

    • Gollum : game had game breaking bugs and performance issues at launch. Gameplay was destroyed due to bugs. The studio closed their gaming branch.

    • Starfield : very hiped, bought by a lot of people, the game looks like 2010-15 game with some little 2023 enhancements...

    Redfall and Gollum were failures. High budget failures. They most likely layed off people.

    Starfield : Microsoft layed off people at the start of the year https://www.polygon.com/23561210/microsoft-layoffs-xbox-bethesda-halo-infinite-343-industries for who knows why. The game got delayed, and then it gets out very mixed due to bad exploration gameplay and no love put into population design (population characters look like 2010 or even worse).

    All of these 3 games have been very hyped, with a high price, but none of their failure have anything to do with gamers "fault" and "opinion". It's all on the studios fault on not delivering something good.

    There is a lot to learn for Linux. Search engines are your best friend. Tho sometimes advice is outdated. There are also some discord servers where help exists, tho they also expect someone asking to do their research.

    I mostly learned by YouTube, then doing research on Google and other search engines, on forums... Discord servers were my last resort when I had some specific question.

    • Mint = the desktop is closer to windows look.
    • Pop os = the desktop is closer to mac look. With extensions and settings with those, it can be even closer.

    However keep in mind that Pop OS is developing their own desktop to get away from gnome (the name of the desktop environment(DE) (the bunch of apps and tools making the desktop and settings work)).

    That new DE will most likely not be compatible with gnome extensions. And I don't know how it will look.

    For functionality, both work pretty well.

    • Pop os has 2 ISO : one which includes the nvidia driver, and another without the Nvidia driver, should be easy to download the right one.

    • Mint I don't remember exactly how it works, but it should be easy enough to download and install the proprietary nvidia driver, either through a driver tool, or through the store.

    • Pop os has a gnome extension which allow you to switch from integrated gpu / hybrid / nvidia "only" directly from the notification menu.

    • to switch in mint, you need to open the nvidia control panel.

    Both need a reboot or log out to switch gpu mode.

    (keep in mind, the Nvidia gpu consumes a lot more than the cpu integrated one. In hybrid, nvidia gpus canot be put to 0w sleep yet, so it will still consume some power).

    Both need a special argument for app launch or steam launch arguments to launch with the nvidia gpu if you set hybrid.

    For boot :

    • Pop os bypasses grub (a Linux boot menu), so to choose the os to boot from, you'll have to either use your laptop's boot menu or the bios priority.
    • Mint has a grub boot menu displayed each time. So if you choose mint as priority boot, you can at boot still choose windows (about 5-10 sec to use the arrows to boot into something else than mint).

    Disadvantage :

    • Pop OS still needs an additional app to be able to change all settings, including mouse acceleration (say thanks to gnome devs, theming has become harder to do for non gnome standard themes).
    • Mint : they only now made plans to develop their DE to support Wayland (a new window manager explained a bit further), and so you could have a bit less track pad fluidity (no 1to1 gestures ... ). Tho as the DE used is cinnamon, there is less use of track pad gestures.

    About Wayland : it's a "new" windows manager (what allows apps to be displayed, and how they interact with each other). It is a hopeful replacement for X11 (released in 198X, before Linux...) full of issues but still working well for what it has to do. Wayland wants to bring enhancements on security, gesture fluidity and many other things. However it is not yet fully developed and you shouldn't really base your decision on it yet.

    For the rest. I don't really remember other disadvantages as i don't really use them anymore.

    I don't understand some things in the water consumption.

    Why do they need to humidify the air for the datacenter?

    Why is there water consumption for cooling? Aren't they recirculating water used for watercooling? Or are they using f*ing tap water then throwing it out?

    Water for electricity production, kinda, yes. Could be indirectly attributed to their water consumption as they are using the electricity produced by the sources using water.

    Well fedora isn't really a beginner friendly distro. The community is much smaller, and there is a lot more outdated or bad advice circulating when searching an issue.

    When I installed fedora on my laptop some months ago, I wanted to switch the ffmpeg install and get codecs installed. Even fedora's documentation was outdated.

    Only by searching and digging in some websites I found a command I had to do to make it world, in order to switch the ffmpeg version away from the open fedora version...

    Hey, for my recommendations keep in mind I did not use Linux as a main os for some time now. It is based on me following Linux channels and news, but also my past experience and installing it on my laptop and my brother's laptop.

    Linux distros are different in the packages they choose to include for their environment, use and desktop. Some distros offer different desktop environments (which are different desktop softwares, with different handling of included apps, settings and theming).

    Depending on how well you know how to search online and not follow outdated advice, some different distros can be interesting :

    Beginner friendly for Linux :

    • Linux Mint (cinnamon desktop)
    • Pop OS (gnome desktop)
    • Ubuntu (gnome desktop) (maybe, but I'd rather choose Pop OS due to snap packages of Ubuntu beeing forced and having lower quality compared to apt and flatpak)

    All desktops can be themed. Tho cinnamon I don't know how well it supports modifying the task bar.

    Gnome can have extensions to do things, show a bottom task bar, start button, start menu...

    For these 3 distros, the system package manager used (installer, app searcher) is apt-get (shortened to apt). It is a well k'ow package manager with plenty of tutorials online. All also include flatpak, which is a special package manager where apps Comme bundled with their own dependencies (software to make the main software work), and so reduce incompatibilities.

    Ubuntu as a package manager called snap installed by default, it has the same objective as flatpak, but it is closed source, and already had issues with malware spreading through it.

    Obviously all 3 package managers can have issues, as community is there to check the apps, but it may not always be safe. The safest package source is still the system one apt as packages are checked by the people maintaining the main distro repo. But many flastpaks and snaps are safe. (tho they can have some theming issues).

    All of these 3 include a GUI store where you can search and install apps.

    Another great distro which can work for beginner or advanced

    • Fedora desktop (gnome) (It is also available with the kde desktop). Tho this one has a smaller community, and so there is less useful help online, and there may be more out of date advice you would have to navigate through.

    Fedora has a pretty good documentation, but even that one seems to be a bit out of date on some things.

    If you have an nvidia driver, this one doesn't have nvidia proprietary drivers installed by default nor help at the beginning on automatically installing them. You have to enable at install (or after in the store settings) the nvidia closed repo and install the nvidia driver from the store.

    Kde as a desktop is pretty great, tho it can be overwhelming with all it's settings and options available to the user.

    Gnome tho still requires an app to be able to control hidden settings like mouse acceleration and some other settings.

    I wouldn't recommend other distros for beginner or someone who just wants to easy setup and work.

    Debian is pretty stable even in its "testing" branch (Debian stable = old bur rock solid, not recommended for gaming. Testing = newish, still not breaking. Unstable = unstable) needs to have a manual install or help through someone's script.

    Manajaro is a mess. On some devices it will work, on other it will just desintegrate after some months.

    Or the communities are so small that packages may easily pass testing and break.

    Selon ce que je comprends, c'est la fiabilité.

    Les anciens algorithmes génèrent des structures, mais aléatoirement, et avec très peu de chance de stabilité (que les crystaux ne se desintrègrent pas).

    Ce modèle dépendant, as une fiabilité plus élevée, je ne sais plus exactement les nombres. Mais beaucoup plus de structures générés sont stables qu'avec les modèles précédents.

    Unreal engine is pretty bad for open maps. It generates a lot of cpu usage when changing zones. And heavy textures and other heavy elements don't enhance the experience.

    The vram, I'm not sure what your questions is about.

    The vram is special ram (much higher bandwidth, but slightly higher latency than cpu ram, also supports special extra things) included on the board of the graphics card.

    It is necessary because it stores textures and others game elements the graphics card needs to operate the game (shadow info,...). The elements are loaded into vram, from the very slow (in comparison) drive (even nvme 5.0 ssds are extra slow compared to vram or ram) to allow the gpu to process whatever it has to do. Background tasks, windows, the desktop... Also use vram to be able to have the app windows and desktop displayed, so the total available for the game can vary.

    If there isn't enough vram, there can be multiple things happening (I'm talking about textures but vram includes others things too) :

    • Resizable bar ( or SAM on amd) is not enabled : the gpu will not be able to load all the textures, so it would either have missing textures, or lag a lot due to texture swapping. The textures can also take a lot of time to load instead of completely missing depending on the game optimisation, due to swapping with previous textures. The game can even crash.

    • Resizable bar is enabled : it is possible with this pci-e configuration for the gpu to access system memory. So in some cases, textures may spill into system memory (cpu ram), which isn't great either, because system memory has a way higher latency to the gpu (it has to go through the cpu, pci-e slot...), and way lower bandwidth. And so generates lots of lag.

    If a game is well optimized, the lower the settings are the lower vram usage there is. Some games however did not have such great optimisation. Vram usage mostly depends on the texture quality and resolution. (increasing the texture quality will use a very few/negligible amount of extra gpu power, but increase the vram usage).

    There is also a baseline the devs may put for optimisation. The less vram there is, the less the textures can have data available to use. So the more compromises have to be done, with less and less quality. So fixing a baseline quality depending on the current most used vram capacity is not that bad. Tho it does have issues for people having less available.

    A big issue with recent games is Vram usage (the gpu has vram). If you don't have enough vram the game will stutter. At the moment where there isn't enough vram, even a tiny bit not enough, the game will stutter.

    Another issue is also ram and cpu utilisation which in some games is pretty extreme.

    Othrt issue can be very heavy graphics and badly optimized lower settings.

    Some games also have transition stutter, where you change zone. It will try to load the new zone and unload the precedent one. But it uses cpu power and requires a fast ssd depending on the size of what has to be loaded.

    Don't hope too much. The project looks dead or stalled due to maintainer not giving news.

    If not updated, once your Lemmy server gets on version 0.19 the app won't work anymore.

    A pretty good app which also has post search is Thunder. Tho it doesn't have the same account switching capabilities.

    Tho post editing in thunder is still not released.

Here is a short summary : Olvid passed a 35d intrusion test by Anssi (French cybersecurity state organisation) experts or designated experts, with code examination without finding any security breach. Which is not the case of all other 3 messaging apps (either because they didn't do any test, or because they didn't pass). This makes WhatsApp, signal and telegram unreliable for state security. And so government members and ministerial offices will have to use Olvid or Tchap (French state in house messaging app). More detail in the article.

    The EU will finally free Windows users from Bing www.theverge.com

    >All of these Windows 11 changes are part of key tweaks that Microsoft has to make to its operating system to comply with the European Commission’s Digital Markets Act, which comes into effect in March 2024. > Alongside clearly marking which apps are system components in Windows 11, Microsoft is also responding by adding the ability to uninstall the following apps: > > - Camera > - Cortana _(already removable and thrown in the trash)_ > - Web Search from Microsoft Bing, in the EEA > - Microsoft Edge, in the EEA > - Photos >Only Windows 11 users in the EEA will be able to fully remove Microsoft Edge and the Bing-powered web search from Windows Search. Microsoft could easily extend this to all Windows 11 users, but it’s limiting this extra functionality to EEA markets to comply with the rules. “Windows uses the region chosen by the customer during device setup to identify if the PC is in the EEA,” >Microsoft will allow EEA machines to remove the Bing results, so Google could provide its own search results here and effectively become the default if a user has uninstalled Bing. “If the user has more than one search provider installed, Windows Search will show the last one used when opened,” So possibly search engines like ddgo and others may be able to develop an integration to be able to be used in the windows search menu. But no nice things for outside the EEA. Now I hope that when uninstalling edge, it won't auto reinstall back like the f piece of s omen software which installs itself because I have an hp display. Also what would happen if a user, who has no idea what they are doing, uninstalls edge without having another browser available?

All through wifi. In the impact and comparison below, you should be able to understand from the emojis : The impact equates to - 153km in a car, 5 t-shirts, 4.6 meals with beef. The list under that is the calculated environmental impact : (1y, is with the amount per week, so one year in weeks). - 1y email - 1y video call - 1y streaming - 1 smartphone - 1 touch pad - 1 laptop - 1 TV - 1 PC Source : https://impactco2.fr/usagenumerique You can play on the website to find your impact.

    Today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are

    I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible. In a 14 minutes video, I got 5 ads. 1 (or more skippable once) at the beginning, 1 during the first half of the video, 2 during the second half, and 1 at the end. All were skippable after 5 sec. 2 were close together at about 1 min interval during the second half of the video. But that is not the only issue. 4 of those ads (not the last one at the end), were Israeli hate/war anti-hamas propaganda. I consider these ads horrible and they should not be allowed in my opinion.

    Shadow PC got hacked, and had user data leak

    "We would like to inform you of a recent incident affecting the security of certain data hosted by one of our service providers. What happened? At the end of September, we were the victim of a social engineering attack targeting one of our employees. This highly sophisticated attack began on the Discord platform with the downloading of malware under cover of a game on the Steam platform, proposed by an acquaintance of our employee, himself a victim of the same attack. Our security team took immediate action. Despite our actions, the attacker was able to exploit one of the stolen cookies to connect to the management interface of one of our SaaS providers. Thanks to this cookie, now deactivated, the attacker was able to extract, via our SaaS provider's API, certain private information about you. The information concerned is your first and last name, e-mail address, date of birth, billing address and credit card expiry date. It is important to note that no passwords or sensitive banking data have been compromised. What actions have we taken? As soon as this incident was discovered, we took immediate steps to secure our systems and took all necessary precautions to avoid future incidents. We have also reinforced the security protocols we apply with all our SaaS providers. Finally, we will be upgrading our internal systems to render compromised workstations harmless. What can you do? In the wake of this incident, please be very vigilant about the emails you receive, as they could be phishing attempts. In general, for all your accounts, we advise you to protect yourself by setting up multi- factor authentication ("MFA").

Recording clics, size, and more. They will also add an optional Google setting. Enabling the cookie will allow to get search results from Google, but also to get tracked by Google. Optional Microsoft advertising tracking is still a thing, tho it may not be necessary if Bing can get a fingerprint and behaviour of the user in real time... This may be the final flow for Ecosia for me. Unless somehow the Microsoft Clarity can be private... But I don't think so.

This page about the version explains a bit better ECH https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/understand-encrypted-client-hello Tho it is still a bit confusing. From what I understand there is the DNS query > the dns servers sends back an IP. This DNS query can be encrypted with DoH (or DoT?, it seems only DoH from the post). Then there is a handshake with the website where the website informations can be leaked, and that can be encrypted by ECH (if the website supports it). Then after that there is a tls connexion established between the website and the user. The part where I'm confused is : can ECH be used without DoH? If yes that would mean that I can use a DoH capable software and not have to configure it into Firefox? (ex: Nextdns + yogadns)

The Federal Communications Commission called the action its first to enforce safeguards against orbital debris. Dish's EchoStar-7 satellite, which relayed pay-TV signals, ran short of fuel, and the company retired it at an altitude roughly 76 miles (122 kilometers) above its operational orbit. It was supposed to have been parked 186 miles above its operational orbit, the FCC said in an [order](https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-23-888A1.pdf) (PDF). The company admitted it failed to park EchoStar-7 as authorized. It agreed to implement a compliance plan and pay a $150,000 civil penalty, the FCC said.
