I’m a renewable bro. I wanna see as much money pumped into as much infrastructure for renewables as possible. I wanna see solar on every building. I wanna see off-shore wind and tidal energy production. I’m keenly following development of clean, efficient, and cost-effective energy storage technologies, and much is being done in this space to support a future switch to full renewable reliance.
That won’t change the fact that we need on-demand energy now and we need to stop using coal and gas as soon as possible. We currently don’t have energy storage at scale. We will, but we don’t. So in the meantime, nuclear is probably the best option to pursue for use over the next couple of decades while we continue to invest in, and implement, renewables.
There are a few people saying that a synology NAS may not do everything you’d ever want, but there’s an underlying assumption there that you should run everything on a single device. There’s value in isolating functions to their dedicated device, especially when the alternative means a guaranteed compromise.
I would also like to see something like this. Either this or the reverse, where my organizr calendar is synced to my Google calendar. But from memory the devs aren’t interested.
The advice I’ve read (and implemented myself) is to not so much run a block list, but an allow list. So first things first, have a rule to block all connections, then have overriding rules to allow connections using criteria you would deem safe. If you know someone needs to access the server from the UK, include the UK on the allow list. Everything else can remain locked down until you have a reason to open it up to another country.
