She looks very polite.

I have used Kagi for several weeks and can’t go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don’t want to lose that again.

It’s likely been hacked by someone who guessed the default login details (when was the last time you changed the password on your washing machine), and is being used for malicious purposes such as DDoS attacks.

Start today. Download VirtualBox (or equivalent software) and if you make a mistake, you can just nuke the OS and start over without risk.

You can always try Linux risk free in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.

If you like what you see, and you have any valuable data backed-up, you can try dual booting. That way you get to use Linux as your primary operating system, but can switch back and forth as much as needed.

I found I was dual booting Windows and Linux for over 3 years before I was comfortable enough to stop using Windows entirely. Switching to Linux doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. You can take it as slow as you want.

Lithium batteries scale power and capacity at the same time. Flow batteries can scale power and capacity independently.

The advantage of flow batteries is that they can have enormous capacities without the added cost of upgrading the power, making it ideal for grid scale storage.

Even if this new flow battery reaches the energy density of a lithium battery, and can output sufficient power, it would still need to reach price parity to be competitive.

Adequate for cargo flights, not happening any time soon for passenger flights. Aviation safety is very strict and slow to change.

Flow batteries are great for long duration storage, but not good for high power delivery.

This means they will work far better as grid storage than as EV batteries.

Have you ever seen what happens to a balloon that gets caught under a treadmill?

Do you want that happening to a pet?

Don’t let your pets near a running treadmill.

I have a prototype self driving system in my car. It drives logically and consistently, but it doesn’t behave like a human.

This would be a really helpful feature as self driving becomes more common.

I thought that open source just meant that you could read the source.

I’ve found syncthing to be easier once the initial setup has been done.

The learning curve is not as bad as it used to be. Almost everything can be done through the GUI, many tutorials exist, and steam will run almost any game without tinkering with it. ProtonDB is your friend.

As you wish

The main problem with the new leaf is the lack of battery cooling. After 3 (sometimes 2) rapid charges in a day the battery is at max temperature and the charge rate drastically reduces.

Unless you already have a CHAdeMO V2G charger, I recommend choosing an EV with battery cooling (almost all of them). You can probably find one with more features and longer range for a lower price than a new Leaf.

If you aren’t planning on using the car enough to worry about battery overheating, and you enjoy the test drive, it’s not actually a bad car. Just a little overpriced.

Is this a sheepdog?

It is a Leaf.

When the battery does eventually die, I’ll be looking at EVs enhanced for an upgrade. The car is too nice to throw away.

I also have a 62kWh Leaf E+ for highway driving. It’s ok, but the older Leafs (from before the refresh) are much more fun to drive, have more storage space, a tighter turning circle, and are much better value for money. I would recommend almost any EV instead of buying a new Leaf. (Maybe not the Hummer EV).

About 60km from 80%, so I’m guessing 75km (45mi) from 100%.

We rarely drive it more than 10km in a day, and there are chargers every 20km around here.

I think your previous comic link is linking to an older comic than desired.

Thanks for making these, it’s been really making my day for quite a while now.
