Comment Re:The Power Inverters are coming for us! (Score 1) 143

Why do you accept that the reasons he give mean anything?
He wants to get rid of the power inverters. His excuses are just whatever sounds good at the moment. (That he wants to do it to cripple solar power sounds plausible, but I don't really believe it. That someone asked him to do it sounds more likely.)

Don't hold your breath waiting for it. Even if this is correct, you can't expect it within the current millenium.

Personally I *do* favor the "Nemesis hypothesis", but there isn't any good evidence. And there isn't any contrary evidence. If it's in the southern hemisphere then the Rubin sky survey should record it, but actually finding it in that mass of data would be quite difficult, and it might be in the northern hemisphere. And we'd be looking for either a quite black hole, a neutron star, or possibly a brown dwarf...and depending on which it was they'd have different orbits. (The idea is that they disrupt the Oort cloud via gravitational interactions, and those three are very different in gravitational strength.) The black hole would probably be hardest to see, since it wouldn't be expected to have an accretion disk. (If it did, we'd probably have seen it already.)

Comment Emulators on GitHub (Score 1) 45

GitHub has deleted projects because it didn't like them too or considered them too much of a hot potato. Try safely hosting an emulator on there for an older games console or something similar.

My own NES emulator is on Codeberg, but there are well over a dozen emulators on GitHub. Start here:

- LIJI32/SameBoy (Game Boy)
- TASEmulators/fceux (NES)
- mgba-emu/mgba (Game Boy, Game Boy Advance)
- nesdev-org/MesenCE (NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, PC Engine, Master System/Game Gear, WonderSwan)
- jsgroth/jgenesis (Mega Drive/Mega CD, Super NES, Master System/Game Gear)
- dolphin-emu/dolphin (GameCube, Wii)
- stenzek/duckstation (PlayStation)
- ares-emulator/ares (numerous)
- Dwedit/PocketNES (PocketNES on Game Boy Advance)
- FluBBaOfWard/NitroSwan (WonderSwan on Nintendo DS)
- FluBBaOfWard/NGPDS (Neo Geo Pocket on Nintendo DS)
- FluBBaOfWard/NitroGrafx (PC Engine on Nintendo DS)

Which emulator of a 20+-year-old console did you see deleted from GitHub, unless it included ROMs or system software copied without permission?

port forwarding your residential cable Internet service to a Pi

The problem is that a lot of home ISPs don't let their customers port forward because there just aren't enough IPv4 addresses to go around, and I'd bet a lot of your audience are behind ISPs that don't provide IPv6 (such as Frontier fiber). When an ISP is using carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT) to put an entire neighborhood behind a single IPv4 address, how would the ISP's router know to which customer to direct a TCP SYN packet received at that address? I guess each Forgejo instance operator could pay per month for some sort of proxy service using a reverse SSH tunnel.

That's why it needs to be a site run by a union of publishing companies, with individual sub-sites for each of the members. This probably couldn't work for news, but most publishing is more durable. Think of it as a cross between Google and Amazon, except the corporation would not be run for profit of the corporation, but for profit of the participating companies.
