We can always self-host. We’re using such a resource right now. Of course they can start blocking and persecuting, like they’re doing in Russia right now. At which point you should start learning about fpv drones as a hobby, particularly the fiber-optic kind.
I don’t use apps from official software installation sources. I will boycott any site or service that asks me for unnecessary information.
The relevance is in the assumpion is that renewable infrastructure can be built and maintained without fossils and that energy is fungible, so that electricity can substitute all fossil use and sustain a technological society in general.
My own tamper-proof server in a locked cage. There are no noncompliant jurisdictions.
My comment was deleted by a mod. For something I don’t consider a slur, but you do. Your question was implied policing, which I reject. I don’t participate in communities with draconian moderation, so I’m no longer reading /c/technology@beehaw
I don’t let others police my language.

Even i386 felt pretty speedy when compared to 8 MHz 68k.
I use Graphene OS and mostly/exclusively only open source applications.
They are supporting their government since Russia is under attack, but the war is unpopular. The government response is considered too weak, many want harder strikes, including against the West.
Careful consideration doesn’t work around thermodynamical limits very much, I’m afraid. When we move forward, we do not energy transition but rather add new atop the old: we never stopped burning classical biomass, coal or natural gas. Renewable energy is just a new thin layer on top. Depletion of mineral resources necessary for renewable infrastructure buildout and maintenance indeed does a number on the overall economics and energetics, but unfortunately in the wrong drection.

zfs is about data integrity rather than performance.
Do you know a heat pump which operates at 1400-1600 deg C?
Looking at glass, or cement. Do you know a heat pump that runs at up to 1600 C? So it’s just plain ohmic heating. And it’s a 24/7 process, so it needs electrochemical backup. Do you know what that does to your EROEI?
Make sure your data pool is well laid out zfs though.
How does a heat pump helps you firing Portland cement, ceramics, melting glass and metal, fixating air nitrogen? And these are all 24/7 industrial processes.

I use the bank web site, with a hardware TAN generator. If no bank offers that option you can use a dedicated device that is used just for that. My bank’s app works on Graphene OS though.
