Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven’t been around long enough to learn much, after all. However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.

CIFS or NFS?

I just read that one of their two senior devs got kidnapped off the street and got forcibly conscripted, in a country at war. You can probably guess which country that is.

Ukraine? Ukraine.

You rely on professional fabrications of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don’t fall for crude propaganda. When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It’s normal.

The new generation of Russian fast neutron reactors use lead and lead-bismuth as coolant, not sodium anymore. They are not proper breeders, as I understood it.

Thorium fuel cycle is useful for weapon production. Germany also abandoned thorium despite no interest in weapon production.

Some of the new Russian reactor types are designed to burn away dangerous hot actinides. MSR need onboard fuel processing to continue to operate anyway.

Too bad we do not know which exactly thorium salt mixes they are using, what the materials facing the molten salt at high neutron fluxes are and how they fare long term, whether they use on-site constant or batched fuel reprocessing, whether they kickstarted the reactor with enrichened uranium or reactor-grade plutonium waste and other such questions.

US experiments were broken off because of materials corrosion problem.

Heh.

Another good reason to stick with Debian though.

Linux kernel? Where?

Assuming you mean distro, where is it in Debian?

If I want AI I can always install llama or similar locally.

No, we do this in a fusion weapon. Half of its energy output is from fast neutron fission of the uranium tamper.

Yes, the uranium tamper in a fusion weapon. Half of the energy in a fusion weapon comes from fast neutron fission, mostly in U-238. It’s not a chain reaction.

Router-on-a-stick would work, but I’d like a 10G SFTP for that.

Confabulation is a more appropriate term.

And it’s all proprietary walled garden. I have no interest in VR if it’s not free/libre.

Yes, Lemmyverse will fragment, so it’s important to choose sufficiently permissive instances or even run your own.

Only if Germany changes existing legislation on power taxation. And do check out for how much a TWh of grid scale storage goes for. Hydrogen is the only borderline cost effective solution at the scale required.

Poor people (who still can afford the end devices and an Internet plan) can of course share the costs in a community, or use one of the many free servers, as long as they are aware of the tradeoffs. Beigers not being choosers, and all that.

Federated protocols are not centralized in principle. It might not scale to one user-one server (which probably even Lemmy can’t handle) but if you’re signing up for a central server, you’re doing it wrong™. Don’t do that. The nice thing about Matrix client is that it allows end to end encryption, including groups. So that greatly limits what Mallory can do in principle. As to servers being costly to run, given what documented Synapse requirements are, you’re looking at less than 5 EUR/month for a single server. Which can be shared among several users, obviously. This is in the same range as costs for a monthly VPN.
