Nuclear plants in the Netherlands require 570 times less land area than wind... and 370 times less land than solar. //

Nuclear plants in the UK require 2025 times less land than Wind... and 600 times less land than solar //

To power 16 lightbulbs per person in the UK, you would need either...

• 160 wind farms each of 100 square km
• 24 nuclear power plants of 2GW (1 sq km each)
• 3.5x Wales for biomass production (72,726 sq km)
• 8 solar plants of 2x greater London in the Sahara (plus power lines across Spain and France)

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format.

Notes exported from Evernote via .enex files can be imported into Joplin, including the formatted content (which is converted to Markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). Plain Markdown files can also be imported.

The notes can be synchronised with various cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV or the file system (for example with a network directory). When synchronising the notes, notebooks, tags and other metadata are saved to plain text files which can be easily inspected, backed up and moved around.

More than 100,000 Zyxel firewalls, VPN gateways, and access point controllers contain a hardcoded admin-level backdoor account that can grant attackers root access to devices via either the SSH interface or the web administration panel.

[…]

Installing patches removes the backdoor account, which, according to Eye Control researchers, uses the “zyfwp” username and the “PrOw!aN_fXp” password.

“The plaintext password was visible in one of the binaries on the system,” the Dutch researchers said in a report published before the Christmas 2020 holiday.

If you watch the Reuters YouTube, it literally flips with Perdue numbers at 1:31:31 going backwards from 774,723 to 742,323, taking 32,000 from Perdue.

The difference now in the “official count” is Ossoff up 17,000 as of this writing.

I mention the weirdness not to stoke conspiracies but to ask what’s going on in these instances? If it were one network, perhaps it’s a weird input error on their part. But multiple networks, seeing it live, the question would seem to to be at the origin of the feed. So why is it jumping around like that? What gives, Georgia?

What got @ReverendWarnock elected was that he kept stating what he is for and why. While Kelly couldn't tell me her why. She was not compelling. //

Now THAT is a tragic reality, because her story is very compelling. Shame she depended upon poorly contrived ads and focus groups, but didn’t have the balls to be who she was. If given the chance, that narrative would have built the enthusiasm to get Georgians out to vote.

University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers led a unique and groundbreaking randomized controlled trial showing umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell infusions safely reduce risk of death and quicken time to recovery for the severest COVID-19 patients, according to results published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine in January 2021.

In most modern implementations, this means for every 64-bit word stored in RAM, there are eight checking bits. A single bit error—a 0 flipped to 1, or a 1 flipped to 0—can be both detected and corrected automatically. Two bits flipped in the same word can be detected but not corrected. Three or more bits flipped in the same word will probably be detected, but detection is not guaranteed.

Bit flips can happen for many reasons, beginning with cosmic-ray impact or simple hardware failure. A large-scale study of Google servers found that roughly 32 percent of all servers (and 8 percent of all DIMMs) in Google's fleet experience at least one memory error per year. But the vast majority of these are single-bit errors—and since Google is using server CPUs and ECC RAM, this means the machines in question keep right on trucking. //

Even when ECC can't actively prevent a Rowhammer attack from having an impact on the system—for example, when it flips multiple bits in one word—it can at least alert the system of the problem and, in most cases, prevent the Rowhammer attack from doing anything other than causing downtime. (Most ECC systems are configured to halt the entire machine if an uncorrectable error is detected.) //

Torvalds takes the bold position that the lack of ECC RAM in consumer technology is Intel's fault due to the company's policy of artificial market segmentation. Intel has a vested interest in pushing deeper-pocketed businesses toward its more expensive—and profitable—server-grade CPUs rather than letting those entities effectively use the necessarily lower-margin consumer parts.

Removing support for ECC RAM from CPUs that aren't targeted directly at the server world is one of the ways Intel has kept those markets strongly segmented. Torvalds' argument here is that Intel's refusal to support ECC RAM in its consumer-targeted parts—along with its de facto near-monopoly in that space—is the real reason that ECC is nearly unavailable outside the server space.
