Virtual Power Plants Showed Up for Their Biggest Test Yet. Here Are the Results
If what happened on July 29 in California is any indication of the future of the power grid, then there is reason for optimism.Let’s look at it from the perspective of Tom Weldon, who owns a house on the south end of San Jose and has rooftop solar and a battery system.
Weldon didn’t do anything out of the ordinary on that day. But his batteries, hooked up to software run by the solar company Sunrun, were part of a two-hour test to see the capabilities of home-based batteries when they work together to send power to the grid.

International Court of Justice judge comes out as Christian Zionist
“There are now about 30 countries against Israel… the Lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel. The whole world was against Israel, including my country,” Justice Sebutinde said on August 10 at Watoto Church during the launch of a new ministry for members aged 55 and above, known as Golden Legacy, where she is a member.
Speaking further, Justice Sebutinde revealed that around the time of the ruling, the ICJ was due to hold elections for its leadership, including the vice president’s position, which she sought. She said that due to the uproar over her judgment, she almost withdrew from the race but felt compelled by God to continue. “A few days before the judgment, there were going to be leadership changes. I wanted to be the vice president. On the morning of the election, your peers elect you.
She said that due to the uproar over her judgment, she almost withdrew from the race but felt compelled by God to continue. “A few days before the judgment, there were going to be leadership changes. I wanted to be the vice president. On the morning of the election, your peers elect you.
Justice Sebutinde, now serving her second and final nine-year term at the ICJ in the Netherlands, says the current crisis in Gaza was a sign of the “End Times” foretold in the Bible, urging Christians to remain vigilant.
“There is something I want to share. I have a very strong conviction that we are in the End Times. The signs are being shown in the Middle East. I want to be on the right side of history. I am convinced that time is running out. I would encourage you to follow developments in Israel. I am humbled that God has allowed me to be part of the last days,” she said.

What's a reliable filesystem for long term data archival that also supports transparent file compression?
Are you using RAID at all? If so ZFS is probably the way to go. If not I think it matters less whether you use either btrfs or ZFS.
Regarding btrfs and power loss:
unix.stackexchange.com/questio…
...btrfs is designed to only experience data loss not corruption, assuming well behaving hardware in power outage scenario. In practice ZFS has more maturity overall (definately) so may be better (my speculation).
Beyond direct comparisons if you already have on and offline backups then you are protected from power corruption and only have to worry about data loss anyway?
Does BTRFS guarantee data consistency on power outages?
As ZFS states exclusively, ZFS is claimed to be invulnerable ZFS accepts that it might be vulnerable to power failures. I couldn't find such a statement for BTRFS. Is it (or designed/planned to be)Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
I think for home archival use is btrfs is a terrible idea. I burnt myself with it so many times.
Yes it should be safe and resistant to unclean shutdowns, but my experience with reliability is not great.

Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents
Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.
Starlink is poised to benefit from the Trump administration rewriting rules for the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant program. While the Biden administration decided that states should prioritize fiber in order to build more future-proof networks, the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a "tech-neutral approach" and lower the average cost of serving each location.

Nobody’s Buying Homes, Nobody’s Switching Jobs—and America’s Mobility Is Stalling
Americans are moving at record-low rates, with only 7.8% relocating in 2023, the lowest since 1948. Families are stuck in homes that are too small or no longer suitable due to high mortgage rates, limited inventory, and skyrocketing prices. Those who have low-rate mortgages are reluctant to sell.
Workers are less likely to switch jobs or relocate for work than in previous decades. Recent grads face long, difficult job searches, often turning down offers due to low pay or lack of relocation support. Many are choosing to stay local, even if it means settling for less.
Employees with low mortgage rates, stock options, or bonus plans are staying put to avoid losing financial perks. Dual-income households and family obligations further reduce mobility.

Lidarr alternatives?
like this
Headphones I think it’s called? But lidarr has the best integration given it’s a fork.
If this is about the lidarr metadata being fucked you can try something like github.com/blampe/hearring-aid… which has its own issues but is working.
All of the arr stack developers flip their shit if you so much as suggest adding support for a custom metadata server. It is by far the biggest weakness of the stack and it is mind boggling that all the major forks have inherited this behavior from sonarr.
Lidarr shows how foolish this approach is, musicbrainz makes one change and the app is fucked for over three months now with no end in sight. Thetvdb could do this to sonarr, themoviedb could do this to radarr. Adding a method to add other database sites with api access (or even just local data) should be a priority, but they not only dislike the idea, they get mad about it. Oh well, free project, fork it if youre so great, etc etc

At this rate lidarr will have the same fate as readarr did as it seems the main focus of the servarr devs are focused on radarr and prowlarr.
The problem is they have only one person left with the keys to the metadata server and if they are busy then it’s not a priority. Which I understand as a free project but just emphasizes how bad this approach is to have just a single metadata sever.
But with that said I’m still holding out hope for Lidarr, now finding a good readarr replacement that’s another sad story.

Apparently they keep posting updates on their discord for some reason. This is the last response someone shared on github:
Hi everyone, it's July 25. Yesterday, the devs and mod team here have begun (early) alpha testing of the new Lidarr metadata server.In general, things are working fairly well. There are a few issues to resolve before it can go live. But we wanted to let everyone know that we have some concrete forward movement happening behind the scenes.
NOTE: This stage of testing is NOT OPEN to users. We appreciate your patience, but at this stage you cannot help. This update is meant to let you know that the project is not dead, as some have incorrectly theorized, and that there is behind-the-scenes work heading toward getting the new metadata server up and running as quickly as possible.
Please continue to be patient, and continue to use this channel for Lidarr support questions. If you have other conversation topics, please use general or another more appropriate channel for that.
Thank you from the devs and mod team.
like this
Yeah...I saw that update. But I wouldnt count an update from the end of July recent in any capacity.
Because this sort of message has been repeated since the beginning of July with minimal changes to the content.
It's mostly a "We are still alive and sometimes working on it".
No issues with that. It's their volunteered free of charge time they are giving for our entertainment. Which I heavily appreciate. It's just a bit annoying how little information they give out (and their, sorta understandable, tone used in their support channel).
like this
Says the official support channels, which you should be checking for information anyway, unless your only intention is to scream your frustration into the void. If that’s the case, best of luck on that resolving anything.
ETA: like I said, it’s a closed beta, so not something you can install. And it won’t be a pull request because this fix won’t require an update to Lidarr, it’ll just start working again when the new server is done.
What the devs keep getting irritated about is people coming into the Official Lidarr Branch support channels and asking for support for something the devs have no control over or ability to assist with. Keep in mind that an individual user’s Lidarr instance does not connect directly to musicbrainz - the volume of API requests generated by Lidarr would be unsustainable without subscriptions. It connects to an intermediary metadata server set up and maintained by the Lidarr volunteers.
If they add a built-in option to add custom metadata servers, people will have an expectation of support. Even a note right next to the option that states custom metadata servers get no assistance wouldn’t help much since most people can’t seem to read. Basing that on the number of people who come into the Lidarr support discord channel every single day and ask if something is wrong with the metadata server despite there being a stickied message with very bold lettering explaining the issue and its current status.
I will agree that the devs in the discord have a shit bed-side manner, though. But there’s a reason that, if this were software produced by a company, you’d be speaking to a customer support specialist instead of directly to a dev. As someone who long ago worked my way up the IT ladder out of the rage-inducing pits of user-facing support roles, I definitely get it.
like this
The issue isnt the metadata providers changing the API.
The issue is that the devs insist on implementing an API proxy/metadata mirror to lessen the burden.
Bro, just le me pull my own API key and let musicbrainz decide how much free API calls I can execute.

Is there a maintained bypass-paywalls Firefox extension out there?
Hello.
I just noticed in one of my Firefox profiles that Mozilla auto-disabled the "Bypass Paywalls" extension after removing it from their end, which apparently happened a while ago.
I don't think I ever even used this extension, which is why I didn't catch this earlier. But now that it's banned, I definitely want it around 😉
The upstream repository also got DMCA'd. The repository of a presumably alternative (or cleaned) extension is also gone, although I found some GitHub mirrors of it (how ironic).
So, is there a maintained extension upstream I should know about?
