Sure, world could be worse. My point is that we should reduce carbon emissions, and renewable did not manage to do it yet.

NetBSD tries to be there on the widest assortment of hardware, from 1970s computers, and so it deliberately doesn't include features that can't be easily ported to all of them.
That description does not seem fair to me. NetBSD has different support status depending on architecture. The fact that nobody can find a ns32k to run NetBSD on it does not hold the whole project, it just made ns32k unsupported.
The initial goal divergence between NetBSD (keep BSD portability) and FreeBSD (focus on i386) existed but blurred over time, this is now just history.

Five years ago, in April 2021, gas generation was almost identical to today's level at 476 TWh
In other words, renewables do not replace fossil.
Comment MS 365 (Score 1) 95
While I am favorable to reducing the dependency on foreign cloud services, it is funny to promote the reduction of member state choices in a directive that has "sovereignty" in the name.
A close topic: is UE commission done with MS 365 after all?

But in french judicial system, when convicted for two offenses, one gets the worst sentence of the two, and not the sum of the two sentences.

You don't need to trust the system, that's the beauty of FHE.
You run some software on your device, and you trust it to actually encrypt the data, and not exfiltrate stuff through a side channel.
Comment Cannot trust (Score 2, Interesting) 37
How can the end user trust such a system? Even if we ever find a way to ensure it runs the software it is supposed to run (does it really encrypts your data?), the inner working involves concepts that even an IT engineer do not master.

Glass at room temperature is a very viscous liquid. If the slab is stored vertically, I wonder is a 100 year storage could cause enough deformation so that it gets difficult to read the data back.

The European Parliament is calling on the European Commission to reduce dependence on U.S. tech giants
Remember the EU parliament has no way to initiate an EU directive. It can only beg the EU commission to do so, and the EU commission will do whatever it wants.
