acec··on The Engineering of Landfills
Waste is inherently problematic, regardless of how we manage it. While burning plastic for energy might seem like a solution, it's not ideal. We can generate clean electricity through other means that are cheaper and less polluting. Burning waste still releases harmful toxins into the environment and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions – even if it reduces landfill methane, which is a potent contributor to climate change. Ultimately, the best approach is to minimize waste generation in the first place, as this prevents both environmental harm and the need for costly and imperfect solutions.

acec··on Organic Maps
I am not a Google employee. Why should I work to fix their product? I prefer to help potentially thousands of people by helping a non-profit like openstreemaps
acec··on Organic Maps
No not trust it google maps either. There is a crossroads that is wrong in Google near my house and it is right in OSM. In fact... I did fix it but I will not report about the error to Google ;-)
acec··on Podman: A Daemonless Container Engine
It is almost 100% compatible with docker. I only had to do minimal changes in my Dockerfiles to use it.
acec··on Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index
Nobody ever said that Bitcoin was a efficient system. It has other qualities that worth it.
acec··on BadEconomics: Putting $400M of Bitcoin on your company balance sheet
- Fixed supply is not a "problem built-in", it a a feature - Yes, it can be used as a medium of exchange using the lightning network - The blockckain is inefficient but it was not built for efficiency but to solve the trust problem in a trust-less network.

and so on...
