I honestly don't really know. I know that The Environmental Defense Fund and The Clean Air Task Force have a strong presence in the state, so it may be worth donating or volunteering for them.
I'm personally working on this problem. It sucks, and the politics are frustrating as hell, but the people working at the State of CO to reign in oil and gas are making every penny of funding work as hard as it can.
Futo's and Rossman's responses don't make their goals any clearer to me. Sure, they've avoided the issue by not using "open source" now, but why all this mess in the first place?
They're worried about developers of open-source software not getting paid? Then pay them to develop it (looks like they're doing that already, so great!). So why then keep bringing up that developers need to be paid, if they're paying them? Royalties?
Annoyed that big tech is taking open-source code and not giving back? Why not use a copyleft license? You can always dual license. Problem solved. Why make a new Frankenstein license that tries to do both, but just looks like it sucks at everything?
Fitting a 100W battery in the 13 inch chassis while keeping everything easily serviceable would be impossible
My plan to handle this is to switch my VMs to NixOS, set up NixOS with impermanence using a btrfs or zfs volume that gets backed up and wiped at every startup with another that holds persistent data that also gets backed up, and just reboot once per day.
I'm currently learning how to do impermanence in all the different ways, so this is a long goal, but Nix config + backups should handle everything.
I use a Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 2x 10Gbit sfp+ NIC, 128GB ECC RAM, and only 2x 20TB drives at the moment.
For my gateway, I have an Intel N6005 box, I have a managed 2.5/10Gbit switch, and I have a wifi AP.
I have a ton of Proxmox VMs and containers.
All that hovers between 140W to 180W
For me the reasons were:
-
I have a desktop gaming PC, a framework laptop, and a 2014 macbook air. Having one config that I can share between them makes maintaining all the systems that much easier.
-
Using Arch I would either be in two states, and NixOS works great for both:
-
I'm not using any specific computer very often and I just want it to work when I turn it on, and I need to not worry that if I go too long without updates I'll break something.
-
I'm playing around with some brand new software which usually means installing unstable dependencies from the AUR, and rolling back or containing those changes is difficult, so I end up breaking something, and then updates become a huge pain until I need to just wipe everything and reinstall
- I never really liked GNU Stow or other dotfile management systems, and having NixOS + home-manager solves that, too. You can run Nix and home-manager in whatever OS, but having EVERYTHING in one repository is much more convenient to me.
I basically went straight to using flakes when I switched from Arch to NixOS, so I can't speak to channels.
I use home-manager as a NixOS module. It's a bit clunky, but it works well.
I was told when I started to basically never use nix-env, so I don't.
For development environments (I do both rust and python), I use https://github.com/the-nix-way/dev-templates

I will continue to work to regulate oil and gas from within the government (my job), and I will do my best at that, but it is definitely not enough.
It's important to take the easy wins where we can that will potentially slow the climate crisis while fighting for more. There is no reason we can't do both.
To make life easier for yourself, I'd highly recommend running Linux on a separate drive. The Linux distribution installers I've used will install the bootloader on whatever drive you choose to install on, but the windows installer will use the storage controller's port ordering to choose which drive to install on.
Your best bet is to simply disconnect the Windows drive when installing Linux and to disconnect the Linux drive when installing Windows, then just use the BIOS boot selection screen to choose which OS to boot into.
You can add your Windows drive to Grub and you might be able to add your Linux distro to your Windows bootloader, but keeping them entirely separate is probably best.
I preordered the new screen for my 2nd-gen. This is all great news!
I use porkbun for my domains, cloudflare for dns, ddclient connecting to the cloudflare api for dynamic dns, and traefik as a reverse proxy to send subdomains to their respective service.
The only part I have to pay for is the porkbun domain.
$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.
Yeah, I tried it with hyprland and COSMIC. I'm currently using KDE, but if I get enough energy to configure hyprland on NixOS, I'll switch to that. COSMIC wouldn't let me use Steam, so I had to switch back to KDE. Tiling on COSMIC was really nice, though.
Stylix does change font colors on Firefox for me
That's a non-commercial license. It's not open-source, just source-available.

Getting industry to cap the wells is a hard problem that is being solved, but more slowly than it should be. The problem is these wells were drilled and used when they were producing a lot by massive companies with lots of profits.
Then, when they were less profitable, they were sold to smaller companies with much tighter margins. Then those small companies can't continue to operate them without losing money and they don't have enough money to cap the wells, so they abandon them.
If we ask the smaller companies to cap the wells, they'll go bankrupt, stop buying wells, and disappear. I don't have a problem with this outcome necessarily, but it won't get the wells capped because the companies will go bankrupt instead of paying and it will consolidate all oil and gas power to the big companies (close to the current state of affairs, for sure, but this would basically be absolute).
Ideally the big companies that drilled and used the majority of the oil from the well would pay, but mergers and acquisitions can often make that difficult.
For now, states are working to require funds be set aside ahead of time to pay for future well caps and are working to pay to cap abandoned wells directly, which is expensive, but could come from increased industry fees and taxes.
These oil wells are available because they are not profitable, and often because they cost more to run than they could possibly produce.
I'm having an annoying issue with pipewire. I have a Scarlett 8i6 audio interface. I have it set to Pro Audio so that I can access all the input and output channels, and I have virtual devices defined to allow applications to access groups of channels as discrete devices.
For some reason, all applications keep automatically switching to my secondary (mono) output. I can sometimes get them to switch to my primary stereo output, but it's only ever a one-off and they will switch back when the current media is done playing. any thoughts?
config:

I moved halfway across the US this summer. It's taken me a while to get my office/workshop put back together, but today I pretty much finished it.

It looks like a lot of people want to self-host Lemmy. Would having an ActivityPub relay setup for those instances to subscribe to, instead of them all subscribing individually to the bigger instances be feasible? I've only seen discussions online about relays in regards to Mastodon. Has anyone attempted to set up one for use with Lemmy instances?
