Especially compared to direct virtio access to physical volume.

Xorg is indeed a lot of painful complexity. This being said, the software is not Linux specific, and for modern Linux distributions, it is more and more a legacy technology.

You can become an "hacktivist" by taking 15 minutes of your time to write an email to your MEP.

Btrfs is NOT constantly eating people data. You have nothing to back this statement.

It's widely used and the default filesystem of several distributions. Most of the problems are like for the other filesystem: caused by the hardware.

I've been using it for more than 10 years without any problem and enjoy the experience. And like for any filesystem, I backup my data frequently (with btrbk, thanks for asking).

I run Fedora and for legal reasons, they ship a version that has this problem. Have you tried Mozilla's Flatpak build? I use it instead and it resolves all my problem.

git-annex is a good alternative to the solution of Githu, and it supports different storage backends. I'm actually surprised it's not more popular.

I used to be a Kagi customer, but the fact that they waste their energy with all these distractions is depressing. They should instead build a real search engine and stop reselling Bing.

The Russian foreign agent law is used to attack the public personalities and NGOs, and have nothing in common with the Romanian Electoral Laws. Georgians are absolutely right to be scared.

Disabling SELinux is pretty much like doing a chmod -R 777 ., it may fix your "problem", but it's certainly not the long term solution.

During the winter, the solar panel are efficient just for a couple of hours every days. Meanwhile, this is the moment of the year where the global consumption is the highest. We've yet to see a battery system able to hold enough power to balance these months of under production.

Why would you store electricity produced by Nuclear energy? You can adjust the production to match the needs.

You ignore the short daylight period during the winter, when the electricity consumption is the most important. There is no practical why to store the energy for the nights. At the end we end up with a cheap source of energy that covers only a fraction of our needs, and we have to maintain a second source of production for the rest of the time. We pay two times to keep the two system operational.

Nuclear is also cheap and doesn't have this limitation.

Solar is nowhere near to be a dominant source of energy and will never be.

I'm surprised nobody mention Taiga - https://taiga.io/. It was a great contender when we compared it with Trello a couple of years ago and it's also a FreeSoftware - https://github.com/taigaio/taiga.
