Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:
Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.
Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?
I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.
Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.
You got sold on the capitalist rat race, friend. It’s not a competition. There’s so much stuff you could do that you haven’t even considered that’s way better than the stuff you’re thinking on. Stow away on a ship, climb a mountain, build a birdhouse, grow a garden, create a lascivious interpretive dance that you do in the town square until they throw you in the nuthouse now you need to charm the doctors to get out.
Think outside the box before you spend so much time thinking you’re not good enough for some random criteria.
The growing intensity of straw manning over the past decade has hurt us all so much.
Don’t try to characterize what “they” would do, then get mad at your hypothetical. We need to talk to each other instead of about each other.
Look, I agree, but:

Someone just like you would have written the same comment back then.
It is always this way.
Personally I feel your view is too constrained to your own timeline and experiences and is discounting the spread of technology in music for at least a century.
Sweet summer child, replace “dubstep” with “techno” or “techno” with “disco” or …
How is this not a caching issue on the linked server? Serving the same info up over and over from memory should be incredibly fast.
Are their pages dynamic and filled with ads and stuff or something that makes this a problem?

Maybe more relevant today than it was then.
Cosmo was right.
Renewable installations are growing at an incredible rate, a rate much much higher than older forms of generation.
Nuclear takes forever to build. I get the argument: it’s all the regulations. Ok, but when your plant can potentially cause centuries of problems if stuff goes wrong, it needs regulation. We know we can’t trust capitalism to make it safe.
It just makes sense based on their prices that renewables and storage are winning.
One of the hallmarks of renewables has been that they are more easily distributed, so you don’t necessarily need big power plants. I think you may also be discounting the fact that renewables are far more distributed than previous forms of power generation. It doesn’t all have to be solved with giant installations and giant energy storage.
But again, if nuclear is honestly the cheapest option there, it would really surprise me. I just don’t get why so many people argue for this tech they couldn’t possibly use themselves that costs so much money when there are modern options that offer so many compelling benefits that you can distribute throughout the grid (or in big installations, either way!).
In any case, I catch a lot of downvotes.
We are in a thread about down votes, friend.
Ok, now how much of each do you have and how long have they been making that type of power generation?
My guess is that your renewable (solar, wind, wave, geothermal, etc.) is both much newer and much less prevalent.
Every place on earth is going to have a different mix of requirements and available renewable energy. It will take different ways to fully transition to them.
If it is cheaper to build nuclear in your area than it is to build renewables and storage then I guess you should maybe consider that, even though I personally wouldn’t given its risks, you might make a different decision. My guess, however, is that you will find that renewables and storage are actually cheaper even in your area of the world. Maybe not, though.
You presented a highly unlikely scenario where there is no renewables generation “for days” with no explanation or caveats and intimated I didn’t understand something about it. I believe I understand your scenario and I don’t believe it’s likely or should be heavily weighted when trying to plan and deploy utility scale storage.
Did I outline things clearly or do you want to clarify anything?
I am NOT advocating for building non-renewables.
One of us presented their argument couched in an ad-hominem then claimed the other person was behaving badly after the response.
I personally feel like I am understanding this situation, but I could be wrong.
I don’t want any new coal plants ever. Not sure why you would think I did.
One of us definitely doesn’t understand utility scale storage very much, that seems true.
🤷♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.
You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.
