Damn, that’s disappointing at a quick scan. Will read in properly and fact check later. Thanks.

Got any stats on coal increasing to share ? Last I saw they were decomming significant quantities of coal stations

They have also been installing solar powerplants at a lightning rate. They installed more solar in 2023 than the US has in total according to an article I read a few months ago.

It’s not about saving the planet though, they import the bulk of their fossil fuels, moving to renewables reduces their fuel import dependency

You don’t need to give the VM network access to download the software if you have a linux host. You can directly mount a virtual box drive from the host, copy the file(s) onto the drive and then unmount it and start the VM as per normal.

Search for qemu-nbd iirc (network block device) - I have the how to details saved on my host (ie not on me) so ping me if you want them. Note it’s a qemu app that works for vbox

Given the entire governance structure of the BBC and many of the senior managers have been stacked with Tory cronies over the last decade I don’t think that’s still true.

At that age cpu it’s almost certainly a hard drive not ssd.

My guess is 1-2 days. 4gb RAM is going to thrash like hell

Could be worth asking on selfhosted (how do I link a sub on lemmy ?) They probably have more relevant experience at this sort of thing.

Edit

Does this work ?

Thank you

What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?

Because it’s part of ongoing verbal attacks by Israel at Ireland. This isn’t an isolated incident it’s part of a much wider whole.

Simless phones can make emergency calls because the towers are configured to accept a request for an emergency call to any device that handshakes sufficiently (in Europe and most of Asia anyway, I assume also true of USA because it does work).

The phone is able to contact the nearest tower and initiate a call because it scans for the nearest towers in the boot process in order to go to the next step (check sim details and connect to configured provider). In the process of determining available towers it provides the IMEI to each of them.

If you live in a country where you have to provide ID to buy a handset then this definitely isn’t anonymous, but even if you are in a country that doesnt, all the manufacturers track where every IMEI is shipped, and sku numbers on POS will easily allow determination of exactly when the device was sold. Even if you paid cash there will be CCTV footage of the purchase.

TL;DR this will work mostly until you make a mistake against corporate tracking but will absolutely not protect you from three-letter-acronyms and law enforcement.

Consider your threat model carefully before relying on it

And there is also an unknown amount you can subtract from that demand which is the massive electric pumps that pump fuel into those ICE cars and between tanks in the petrol stations and from the depots into tankers that will no longer be needed.

Popular support rarely changes anything. Money talks to power, people talk to themselves

It’s not unreasonable to be ignorant. Particularly about technology which most don’t understand

Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”

Https://1ft.io also seems to work and by the branding seems unrelated to 12ft

Like everything Hidalgo does this is performance art pretending to be a solution.

If you read the fine print (not mentioned in this article I’ll go find a French article and edit it in) the problem here is it DOESN’T affect residents, only those from outside Paris.

What does that mean ? The millionaires in the 6th arrondissement can keep their Porsche Cayennes, Lamborghini Urus’ and Bentley Bentaygas free of charge but the electrician or builder coming in from the banlieues and peripherique in his Toyota Hilux will pay an extra tax.

The weight tax also creates challenges for a tradie to swap his ICE VW transporter for an EV equivalent.

All is not as it seems. If she makes it a tax on SUVs in Paris regardless of where you live (like the London ULEV setup) then it may do some good

Edit 1 it is in the guardian article

"The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles. The move will not apply to Paris residents’ parking. "

Article 7 suspends their voting rights. Requires unanimity of all other EU members.

It’s the closest EU charter allows to evicting a member state. It effectively suspends the state’s membership.

Quite frankly the should have. Orban is a blatantly corrupt Putin lapdog who has been siphoning EU funds for years into his own pocket and that of his cronies.

Four arrested in Denmark, Netherlands on suspicion of planning terror attacks By: 3 - 4 minutes

Three people were arrested in coordinated actions across Denmark and one person in the Netherlands on suspicion of plotting to carry out “an act of terror,” Danish police said Thursday.

Flemming Drejer, operative head of Denmark’s Security and Intelligence Service, known by its acronym PET, said that Denmark was not changing the terror threat level, which has been at “serious,” the second-highest level, since 2010.

He added that the case had “threads abroad” and “was related to criminal gangs,” singling out the banned gang Loyal to Familia.

In January 2020, a Danish court upheld a nationwide police ban on the gang, saying that the LTF should be dissolved as illegal under Denmark’s constitution.

The gang had been behind gang feuds, violence, robberies, extortion and drug sales in the Danish capital and “had used violence and illegal means to achieve its goal," the Copenhagen District Court said then. In September 2018, police in Denmark issued a temporary ban against the LTF and said anyone seen wearing its logo could face prosecution.

”Persons abroad have been charged," he said.

"It is a serious situation,” Drejer told a press conference, adding the arrests were “carried out in close collaboration with our foreign partners,” and said those arrested were part of “a network.”

Drejer added that the suspects would face a custody hearing within 24 hours, likely behind “double closed doors,” meaning that he could not give details about the case, any target or motive.

“This is extremely serious,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a European Union summit in Brussels. "It shows the situation we are in in Denmark. Unfortunately.”

“It is absolutely true when both (Denmark’s intelligence agencies) say that there is a high risk in Denmark,” Frederiksen said. “It is of course completely unacceptable in relation to Israel and Gaza, that there is someone who takes a conflict somewhere else in the world into Danish society.”

Earlier this month, the European Union’s home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson, warned that Europe faces a “huge risk of terrorist attacks” over the Christmas holiday period due to the fallout from the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Definitely on there
