  • 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.

  • Gaming @beehaw.org

    it's the steam winter sales, what game did you enjoy playing and want to share?

  • J'ai quelques idées...

    Comme il est indiqué sur les infos du site, d'après eux ils se sont séparés du figaro, et bien sûr comme l'URL du site est legorafi = lefigaro.

    Ce serait donc un site exagéré parodique du figaro ?

    Mais je ne sais même pas pourquoi le site existe encore... Je suppose il y a toujours des gens pour perdre leur temps à lire des articles inutiles...

    (si l'objectif est de faire quelque chose de marrant, ca ne me fait pas rire des gens qui se font tirer dessus ou qq qui se lamente et fracasse la tête contre un mur...)

    I want you Tenno. don't be late.

  • C'est quoi cet article de bouse. Elle est où leur source ? C'est la rédaction leur source ?

    Je ne peux rien trouver comme source à cet article.

    Donc sans source ou preuve que cet article est factuel, cet article est faux et une invention du journal qui est sûrement m*ique dans ce cas.

    Si c'est du sarcasme ou je ne sais quoi, c'est totalement raté et nul. Ça paraît trop gros pour être vrai, ce qui pe s'en rapprocher, mais ce n'est pas du tout une bonne chose de propager de telles fausses infos.

    Vu les autres articles de la rédaction, le journal est de la bouse.

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

    And i can say that it is, damn amazing!

    There are some little issues with the game tho. It doesn't tell that combo rewards more currency from enemies (it's a timed combo, sho shooting will either increase or refresh the combo, and shooting flying bodies increases the combo up to 2 more times). The ending seems to also 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.

  • Amd and nvidia both claim to check that displays support the required features to apply the logo.

    However as Monitor Unboxed (Hardware Unboxed second channel) said, there is plenty of trash monitors, freesync or gsync.

  • 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.

  • Drms need to be installed and enabled on the browser. Drms like widevine and others.

    If the drms aren't enabled and installed on the browser, and able to communicate to the service it's "safe", spoofing the user agent won't do anything.

  • 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.

    Linux for all : https://discord.gg/eSP6cXjY4B Gaming on Linux : https://discord.gg/AghnYbMjYg The Linux experiment (YouTuber) also has a discord server...
