A sensible and measured reply. That being said, when you see images/videos of all the gas turbines running and the shimmering air from the heat by colossus/stargate/whatever it’s called it’s difficult not to think that it’s doing damage now

I am new to Linux, why is Heroic better than Lutris?

Same, but refuse to buy a pixel

I run a Tailscale network on my devices and I use Mullvad exit nodes, I have found that to be an extremely frictionless setup especially running on my family’s iOS devices. What are my alternatives now, I can’t seem to find anything that is as easy/practical for my setup and for non-technical users.

Is this not what a consultant is?

Fair. Good answer

I’m sure you are much more familiar with internal workings than I am, but isn’t the playing field so different now due to machine trading?

Markets don’t react as human traders would because of algorithms buying up dips and other black magic rules that happen in milliseconds.

If Hormuz was closed in 1998 markets would have been in a panic, and when it happened in 2026 it was a small blip.

There are plenty of deep rooted problems with the current economy that I think makes it fragile- Among them, the fact that without data center buildout, the US would be in a recession.

So while your post makes perfect sense and I agree with all of it, I just don’t trust markets to follow the same laws of physics as the rest of the universe.

I use mullvad via Tailscale. It’s a little different as you don’t actually ever have anything to do with mullvad, you pay Tailscale for the service ($5) and then you are able to use mullvad vpn exit nodes. It took me a little while to figure out cause I kept looking at their mullvad website and thinking how on earth do I make them work together

Dynaudio?

Don’t forget the worlds most famous “massager”!

Great series! My wife and I are tired of waiting for the next book though 😭
