Called it #years ago: https://hackaday.com/2023/12/26/chinas-n.. #china is now #manufacturing #nuclear #power #container #ships . This is *exactly* the route that should be gone down. The only #concern I had was #security , i.e. via a #dirtybomb or something. Either way, this makes *alot* of sense.
Oh would you look at that, #germany is now back in #favour of #nuclear #power https://www.zerohedge.com/political/unex.. This aparrently is because it is seen as better than #coal .
Very cool (literally), adding just a 1ms #delay to an #espressif #esp 8266 #web #server decreases #power #consumption significantly: https://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/archi.. It's really amazing how such a small action can make such a large difference.
Okay, this #ffmpeg #gui for writing #commands is pretty impressive: https://ffmpeg.guide/ It costs a lot per month, but for #power #users this is well worth the #cost !
Very cool that you can potentially #grow #plants from the #lighting from a single #watt of #power https://hackaday.com/2022/10/31/a-single.. Potentially mass scale #hydroponics could be really quite #energy #efficient .
A bit late on this one but the #uk will have 3 hour #blackouts this #winter https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/uk-nati.. Apparently we would get just one day #notice and the #aim would be to #reduce #power by 5%. I suspect most people will just #plan their #activity for another day, or #travel to somewhere with #power .
Just has a mini #power #cut (<250ms) - none of my #systems went #offline - success! On the other hand, I did notice that it did #correlate with #issues with the #internet #connection too.
As if the #german #energy #crisis could not get any worse, they need to #shutdown one of their few #remaining #nuclear #power #plants because of a #suspected #leak https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/german-.. It literally could not happen at a worse time.
#eevblog is #complaining about his #eps #emergency #power #supply not immediately switching #power #source https://youtube.com/watch?v=5JT8M8v_zNg What he actually wants is a #ups , an #uninterruptible #power #supply instead, which is what I #purchased recently. I use mine for #computers that cannot survive any amount of #power #outage . In theory he could run his #eps into a #ups , and then run the #fridge into that.
Seems like #cern will soon be shutting down to save #energy given the current #eu #energy #crisis https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/sci-tech/ce.. Pretty telling of the time. Whilst #france is doing the right thing in #maintaining their #nuclear #power #plants , they couldn't have chosen a worse time to do them all at the same time!
Oh wow, #xcel , a #power #company in #us #colorado #blocked #users from turning down their #thermostat during a #heatwave https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/pow.. Just shows if it's #connected to the #internet , you probably don't #own it.
I said this the other day: https://coffeespace.org.uk/blogs/eu-ener.. #nuclear #power is needed #immediately in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/political/go-n.. 700 #million #pounds is not nearly enough though. We should also push back on #decommissions for as long as we #dare so that there is significant #overlap in #power #output . Glad to see #china being pushed out of #sizewell in #suffolk too.

Oh wow, the #ovhcloud #datacenter #fire #report is out, and it's not great: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/ne.. #wooden #floors , no #power #cutoff . #cooling #design that #feeds #fire - it's not great. Worst of all is the complete lack of #extinguishers .
