@ikidd oh yes, those famously fluffy and forgiving people, the Saudis.

@Monomate @boem Because he owes the banks a shedload of money which he may have to start paying back if the value drops too much.

@31337 @wooki as someone who lives in a country which regularly produces >100% of its requirements from renewable sources, the EV is a no-brainer from a CO2 perspective.

@LWD @boem I look forward to the day he becomes a self made millionaire.

@boem Oh no! Anyway …

@ExLisper yes. It does. It’s just easier. I miss it when it’s not there.

@ExLisper No. I’m paying attention to the road, because quite often it doesn’t cope with sharpish bends and you need to take over.

It just reduces the driving load.

@taladar In the old days we called that “having an IT department”. By self hosting, I mean I’m a home user literally hosting services from my living room.

@ExLisper @Hazen I use it on my Leaf. It just massively reduces the cognitive load involved in long drives and makes me feel more energised when I reach my destination. I leave my hands on the wheel (it gets arsey if you don’t).

@originalucifer @L4s Went and had a look, and they do the same “iPad on wheels” thing that Tesla does.

Honestly, I kinda hate it. Want a car that works like a car, not a gaming rig.

@Sanyanov Self hosting the server seems to me like it could almost be a misfeature: it relies on the server being accessible. In these days of CGNAT, there are a lot of people who would have to buy a VPS just to do that.

@girlfreddy Just well regulated militia doing well regulated militia things.

@clmbmb @brownmustardminion Looks like some sort of Tailscale clone.

@squid_slime @aseg6 Can’t. My server doesn’t have report functionality.

@aseg6 Can we cut the racist bullshit please?

@Funkytom467 no, JET was doing power plant research.

NIF is studying detonation of fusion explosions. The only other way to do this is to set off a thermonuclear bomb, which the US has signed international treaties promising not to do, and which is trivially easily detected from the other side of the world.

@Uranium_Green those are literally fusion bombs.

But there is a test ban treaty in place, and has been for some time.

NIF provides plausible deniability to study fusion ignition without setting off actual nuclear weapons. This is what it’s always been about. It isn’t power plant research, and never has been.

@L4s oh, it’s NIF again. Totally not bomb research, honest you guys.

@shiftymccool I don’t have either, because Tailscale lets me browse my home NAS from anywhere anyway.
