It's been a while since @marieverdeil and I gave you any updates on our Battery Academy which over the last month expanded and took the shape of Energy Academy ๐Ÿ”‹ โšก We just came back from a month of residency at Antre Peaux in Bourges, where we worked on a video in the style of C'est pas sorcier or Bill Nye the Science Guy - aka a science show for kids - about the myths behind the energy transition. As any great science show from the 90/00's we built lots of physical props, some of which you can see in the pictures from our end of residency presentation below ๐Ÿ˜€

We can't wait to share the video with all of you soooon!




I'm all for Bitcoin cratering, but this is such a familiar ritual, where the NYT announces the demise of crypto while the dip is still above the last cycle's peak.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

>Based on resource extraction.
It is unfortunate that mining is so environmentally costly. There are arguments why it isn't so bad but you've probably heard them all before (fiat by contrast being based on costly and environmentally damaging military power, green or otherwise wasted energy being used for mining, etc).

>disconnected from social outcomes
What do you mean by this?

in reply to Light

Issuance of the dollar is influenced by the inflation and unemployment rates. Digital money can be even more creatively tied to social outcomes. But because of the ideologies of the people who built most crypto, it is the opposite.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

And on mining, yeah, I've read gobs on it. If there were not a cleaner way to get meaningful social benefits, I'm open to it. But I don't think the social benefits are clear enough (except in theory) to justify the consumption in the context of a climate crisis. And there are ways of achieving similar goals without that consumption.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

How would your ideal cryptocurrency work and why (it would still be censorship-resistant, right?)?
Is there an existing one that you like?
in reply to Light

Censorship resistance is one value among others, but I don't see it as paramount. Not censoring the tax-evading transactions of billionaires is not more important, in my view, than having an economy that improves everyone's ability to meet basic needs.

I hope for money systems that serve a balance of the common good and individual rights.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

I tend to think PoS-style systems can be designed with goals like that in mind, or with other kinds of proof designs based on other kinds of contributions.

In lieu of the perfect, I'll take diversity of systems.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

>Not censoring the tax-evading transactions of billionaires is not more important,
What about not censoring donations to targeted political orgs and movements such as WikiLeaks, Palestine Action, and the Canadian truckers?
in reply to Light

@light I can appreciate that as an edge case, but money systems have other responsibilities that affect far more people. I support censorship-resistant tools, but I think it is a mistake to view that as the primary thing to design for.

Not that Bitcoin itself is especially great for privacy anyway, which troubles its ability to be truly censorship resistant.

The trailer for the game give me vibes for the "game" (really what is now called a visual novel) Portal that I played in the late 80s / early 90s. Returning from a solo space mission, you find the city is abandoned, and you need to explore to discover what happened to everyone. It was eventually released as a novel, which is good because my disk was corrupted and I could not read the ending in the game.

Fedora Linux 44 will get improved NTSYNC enabling for Proton / Wine gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/fedoโ€ฆ

#Fedora #Linux #NTSYNC #Wine #Proton

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

"What is NTSYNC? Arriving with Linux kernel 6.14 the aim of it was mainly to help accuracy and performance for NT synchronization"

I've read the article and clicked through to other articles, ending up at the kernel mailing list for the addition, but other than knowing it's a performance enhancement that may or may not affect games running via Proton, I didn't come across anything telling me what NT Synchronisation is.

Is that NT as in Windows NT or something entirely different?

Surprise finding by Conference of Swiss Data Protection Officers:
" identified five critical problems with international cloud providers:

Most SaaS solutions lack true end-to-end encryption.
Global companies offer insufficient transparency for compliance verification.
Cloud services create significant loss of control over data.
Legal uncertainty exists for data under confidentiality obligations.
The US CLOUD Act allows data access regardless of storage location"

Also keep in mind that ECC doesn't make the hardware 100% secure, I also had a kernel panic once in a server using ECC and was a huge problem.

I never got to know the exact problem, but I am almost completely sure it wasn't the RAM, it was something with my hard drive, but I don't know if it was OS's fault or drive's.

in reply to It's FOSS

I think Torvalds is not a Windows hater, he just made his own OS so why would he use it tho...
