Finally, a CAPTCHA that doesn't require me to instantly know what American fire hydrants or school buses look like.

Introducing BUNG: Blogger Utility for a New Generation.

Here's the source: https://git.shipoclu.com/moon/BUNG

Proudly written in Elixir.

Here's the salient features:

Markdown documents, with associated metadata YAML files so very easy to maintain posts.
Easily embed styled source code documents, good for technical blogs.
Maintain using CLI (WYSIWYG web frontend eventually.)
Multi-blog support.
Natural HTML template theming. The themes are pure HTML, with light embedded data for testing. No build step.
100% JAVASCRIPT-FREE.

Some vibe-coded themes, don't expect them to be good. Make your own, it's super easy.

After reviewing many different forms of energy storage, I think the one that is most likely to catch on will be lithium based ammonia electrolysis such as https://jupiterionics.com/our-technology/

Sure the lithium is prone to degradation over time, but if it has a similar lifecycle to a lithium battery then you figure 5000 cycles of 1kWh battery equals about 5MWh of ammonia production. And a 1kWh lithium battery is less than $100.

Ammonia is NH3 so all of its components come from air and water. You don't need to buy coal in order to produce it. Energy density is 4 kWh per kg which is a little under half that of gasoline, but better than any battery. Furthermore, you can burn it in an internal combustion engine, OR, in a fuel cell, so it has a lot of flexibility.

Ammonia is also used for nitrogen fertilizer, so it has significant industrial application outside of fuel. So even if ammonia production is significantly more expensive than other energy carriers like methanol or gasoline, there's still an important reason to make it anyway. An early use case is huge because it will drive economy of scale to push down the price.

Ammonia is a gas (not a liquid) which is a mixed story. On the one hand, it's a little bit harder to handle than liquid fuels like gasoline and diesel, but it compresses at a pressure similar to propane gas so it's not a "difficult" gas like hydrogen. And its gaseous nature can be seen as an advantage because leaks and spills - while bad and toxic - are not long term environmental disasters the way diesel spills are.

The Hard Problem for ammonia electrolysis is designing a cell which lasts long enough to be economical. Lithium metal is desperate to attach itself to anything it can find, particularly oxygen or water, and this is not easily reversible so it turns the cell to junk.

The runners up (IMO) are:

1. Sodium metal. Sodium is obviously extremely abundant and it is fairly easy to convert it from hydroxide to metallic form. Energy density is around 2 kWh per kg, and sodium is almost exactly 1kg per liter. Sodium can be used in a sodium-air fuel cell which (in current research) is about 50% efficient. Sodium is a lot less flexible than ammonia, and the energy-to-weight is worse, but there are no Hard Problems that need to be solved here - so we might see sodium show up in some grid energy storage projects.

2. Liquid hydrogen (if we can improve cryogenic cooling technology). At 33kWh per kg, LH2 has a much better energy to weight, but even in liquid form it is still bulky with only 2.3 kWh per liter, compared to ammonia's 3.53 kWh/liter. As it needs to be stored in very special vacuum insulated dewars, bulk is an issue. Liquid hydrogen is particularly interesting for the aviation industry because it's power to weight is undefeated, and planes have very predictable fuel consumption over time. The Hard Problem for LH2 is the cooling technology.

I excluded anything that requires special geography such as compressed H2 in a salt cave - because you need the salt cave. And because it only works when you have the geography, most people can't deploy it, which means little R&D energy will go into it and therefore it's unlikely to go anywhere.

New desk buddy

the future is now old man

They're designed to be safe and never shatter. It's why the whole East Palestine disaster was a fucking lie. I wonder if whoever caused it has already bought up all the houses and toxic land for cheap to start mineral mining.

Creating a kiwifarms thread about myself and including all of my information in the OP full legal name, address, social security number, credit card information

...that's heading right this way...

I have to keep my eye on the weather today because most of the area is under a Tornado Watch... likely just the leftovers of that one hurricane that made landfall from the gulf recently - they DID say it would keep advancing north after it hit the Florida panhandle, and I've been hearing about Georgia getting quite a handful from it while it was passing through.

He doesn't understand Bethesda doesn't want this. This is too complicated, nerdy or "realistic". They want it to be streamlined. They publicly stated they weren't going to do any simulationist space exploration stuff, which was also the moment I lost interest in the game (pre-release).

@tinosoft Holy fuck

The whole Adobe suit

@ooignignoktoo @mitchconner @tinosoft @vokainen099 Adobe are practically one of the few final dicks who refused to port anything to Linux, plenty of other big pro software has Linux versions but you couldn't fully switch to Linux because of fucking Adobe

This was basically the last thing

@freddie_the_fed @matrix
I've literally seen them celebrating the fingerprinting.

That function literally serves only 2 things.
1) It helps AI companies to know posioned data, so they can mine post-AI internet effectively
2) It makes PUBLIC AI models dumber.

It literally doesn't hurt corpos a single bit. But, they are so demoralized by king-fu cats, that they will do anything to remove this tool from their lives.

@matrix
I seriously couldn't believe my eyes, when AI broke the idea of intellectual property on a civilization level. We had a justification and support of all levels to burn that shit up, only for IP stealing starwing artists all around the world to unite in fight against their own craft.

SHUT UP YOU IDIOTS!!! THIS WAS YOUR CHANCE TO LEGALIZE YOUR OWN CRAFT, AND YOU BLEW IT.

Home appliances don't need Internet access!

It's kinda funny how lot of pro piracy leftists are now reinventing IP laws and proprietary software from first principles, now when an LLM can break open all the proprietary corposhit.
