wie war das nochmal mit "a computer cannot be held responsible"? hat sich der "finanzamtscomputer" selber programmiert oder werden hier grad die entscheidungsträger (gendern kann man sich vmtl sparen) schon in der schlagzeile entschuldigt, die nicht dafür gesorgt haben, daß die von ihnen spezifizierte software gesetzeskonform ist?

I already downloaded that and listened to it... that's definitely nice, what code are you running on the ESP?

wouldn't I need an address to connect to, i.e. a reticulum address instead of an IP address?

So it's gonna be "Nextcloud Hub 26", also known as "Nextcloud 33"? Who thought having two numbering schemes for the same thing was a good idea?

is there any info on where that stupidity is coming from? Multiple legislations bringing up the same bad ideas at the same time points to someone lobbying for it, but who and why?

having seen the lack of common sense in human drivers, including blocking emergency vehicles and completely ignoring the sirens right next to them, I' not positive this makes a big difference unless the number of robotaxis goes way up...

But why are they stuck? Disabled traffic lights, no mobile data uplink?

have you seen #reticulum? that's a whole network stack, although I think the support to run the full stack on microcontrollers is still experimental.

Achievement unlocked: coordinating the setup of one mesh network (#reticulum) via another (#meshcore) 🙂
(If you're in the east of Austria, 869.432 MHz, BW 62.5 kHz, SF8, CR8), if you can see "Hochegg" on meshcore or meshtastic, you'll also see my rnode)

There are already carmakers involved in such programs, and ISTR some put a limit on the amount of energy (over the lifetime) that you can take out of the battery.
I used to also think battery degradation will be a big issue with V2G, but we see more and more studies and reports that car batteries last much much longer than initially considered possible, so I now don't think it's an issue.
I still have a fixed battery in my house, because that stays put...

The less wise part was that on first powerup, we blew up quite a number of expensive couriers... I don't remember whether we ever managed to find out what the problem was, or just went back to the wall warts.

Oh yes, we also had the portmasters, and at some point in time we took the courier PCBs out of their cases and stuck them into a rackmount PCB carrier to get higher density, coupled with a single beefy power supply instead of the huge amount of wall warts.
I think somewhere I still have a t-shirt with a photo we took of the pretty blinkenlights on the modem rack...

Specifically for the "above the age of X" question I'd like to see a way to have a long-lived attestation without needing to go to the eID provider for each request -- after all, they don't need to know at which times I like to browse porn. That of course gets difficult because then I could just use my older brother's attestation for illegal hornyness...

So what are you paying for a kWh then, and what's the monthly (or yearly) fixed price? Here I'm at about 20¢/kWh plus 9€/month, including all taxes, but the kWh price is variable (based on hourly electricity stock prices).

OK, I didn't know this about your background, sorry for the "old fart". But still, the tech, right now, is ready for prime time (it wasn't 5 years ago) unless you have very specific circumstances (like being a travelling salesman that does hundreds of miles a day in an area with bad infrastructure). What's the average (or median) daily mileage in the US?
Sure, charging infrastructure and car prices have to be improved, but that's where I think an initial boost is needed.

As much as I usually enjoy your takes and your knowledge, WRT EVs you definitely seem like an old fart that only sees how those newfangled things can't possibly work...
Vienna is in some respects a worst-case scenario for EV chargers, given the density, and the old buildings and narrow roads where you don't know what you'll find if you dig down -- some uncharted old infrastructure or maybe Roman remains? The local utility has chosen to build up the infrastructure, with ./

Well, it has to be done, look at Europe, where it slowly happens, even with all the costs and all the NIMBYs that oppose overhead lines in their field of view. BTW, looking at the EU you'll also notice electricity is much more expensive then in the US, but people still cope. Sometimes I really think the US is a third-world country when it comes to infrastructure.

to go outside again to move the car after a few hours is less comfy than just spending 10 minutes at the gas station while traveling, it's far from impossible. In the end, it boils down to this: we need electrification, and therefore better grids, anyways, so let's build them up rather sooner than later. @npub12ll…vyvx

Your big tanks however are just empty space if you ignore all the infrastructure behind them that gets them filled -- roads for the fuel trucks, rebuilding bridges when one crashes into it and burns it down, refineries, one third of the world's ships, oil extraction and pipelines etc. A densely popuplated city like Vienna manages to build charging stations all over the place, so that I have 4 of them in my immediate neigborhood, both with 2 outlets, and while having ./ [@plasma4045](https://indieweb.social/@plasma4045 )

fixing stuff with the help of the 3D printer is the best; although often it involves multiple iterations until the spare part really fits...
