  • Fusion isn’t as bad as fission or fossil fuel. To date, terrestrial fusion has been a net-negative energy system. That’s strictly worse than fission or fossil.

    My mistake. I did not specify in what regard. I had the waste in mind. Fusion waste is radioactive for a few decades. Fuel wise, there is an abundance of Deuterium, like a gram of it in every bucket of ocean water give or take. Tritium? That’s the harder part.

    You are right. It doesn’t work yet. And it will be too late to solve the current energy crisis. If they get it working at all. But I see no harm in trying.

    Your remaining statements: I did not intend to say that solar and wind power are bad, but they are not flawless (again: sustainability and sourcing).
















  • Make it maintainable.

    Documentation. Or implicit documentation with ansible or the like (opentofu).

    Separate things with LXCs or VMs or OSI containers. Maybe firewalls (ufw) and VLANs to separate them. Incus is nice. As someone already said: Leave the host system mostly vanilla. Services go in the virtual boxes and containers.

    Btw: Nix looks promising, too. But I have not opened that can of worms, yet.

    Backups…

    Automation. unattended-upgrades, watchtower(unmaintained) or the like. So you don’t have to do it yourself and then forget about it. Claude is looming on the horizon. It will bring many bugs to light and code the exploit for it in no time if someone asks for it nicely.




  • You are right. Backup and storage of scans should be not a big deal.

    But the paper documents:

    Some things like birth and education certificates need to be kept indefinitely. Some documents like receipts need to be kept for a while. Some documents can be discarded after scan and some are PDFs entirely.

    I. E. How can I tell from the scan if there is a paper document and where is it stored?

    Or How do I age out paper which is not needed any more?
