You can run an ICE on hydrogen, with some minor modifications. If you have enough space you can store the produced hydrogen at near atmospheric pressure in a gas holder/gasometer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder

As to nitrogen fertilizer, there have been recent improvements in air nitrogen fixation by way of an electric arc/plasma: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=nitrogen+fixation+electric+arc&ia=web e.g. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2021/ra/d1ra01357b

Oh, hi. Glad you liked my posts. The latest /c/collapse incarnation on Lemmy (we’ve had to move twice) is on https://lemmy.zip/c/collapse btw.

These are the electricity spot prices in Germany: https://energy-charts.info/charts/price_spot_market/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE

Look into hydrogen production from water electrolysis, if you’re really producing a significant surplus.

Unfortunately I don’t have an official source either, I’ve seen it on a Telegram channel a few days ago. Banknote serials are logged when dispensed from ATMs and when cash is being counted at the bank, e.g. when brought in by a business. So there are already checkpoints for banknote tracking. Cash isn’t as anonymous as people think, but for coins.

That’s at government’s discretion. E.g. they might decide to increase the velocity of money, by causing it to expire. The point is that they can render your cash invalid, with no recourse.

US recently introduced the bright idea of banknote serial numbers blacklists. Great incentive to hold greenbacks!

A useful size for me starts at 6.7"

In hard science degrees like chemistry and molecular biology the employer is actually milking new hires for the skills you got during your PhD, for a few years. These skills are very much not useless.

Some enterprises do run their own hardware (these can ROI in 6 months or so), and there the economics is very well known. For the majority of the current use it’s a giant bubble, as Ed Zitron’s great analyses keep telling us.

It is very profitable in certain roles in the enterprise. This is orthogonal to it being a massive bubble, about to blow up.

I have no interest nor trust in Max, but as long as the Cheburnet Wars continue it will be the easiest way for nontechnical people to make voice calls.

Not a fan of metal fires at home either, however rare they are in practice. Solid state/sodium ion would definitely help.

In terms of global primary energy consumption, there is no shift. The fraction of fossils in total is effectively constant.

I make about two thirds of my net electricity demand by DIY rooftop solar. Might look into few kWh battery buffering and zero feed in this year or next.

Depends on when the AI bubble pops.

Obtain a Kasachstan or Byelorus sim card, install it on a burner phone with the Max messenger for minimal overall pain.

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.

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.
