California is not anywhere near 83% renewable for total electricity generation. [1] Are you just adding up nameplace capacities without capacity factors?

One thing about power generation stats like these is they are incredibly sensitive to examination dates given the rapid growth of (especially) solar.

That EIA site cuts off in August. The same EIA report shows solar grew 17% from 2024-2025. You can plug in your own assumptions to the solar growth curve since then, as well as your assumptions about the natural gas curve given the ride natgas has been on since August.

EIA also produces live status on the daily generation mix[1]. 69% today was wind, solar, geothermal, and hydro. 12% nuclear, so some of this is whether you consider nuclear renewable or not.

CA's power generation may cost more, but the pricing (for raw power at least) should be a lot more predictable than those of us dependent on fossil fuels. Natural gas, for example, has undergone a ~100% price round-trip in the last 12 months.

Behind the meter solar, on both homes and factories, is about 5% in California and that gets missed from these stats too.

83 renewable isn’t right, but it’s up to 67% clean in 2025, which is still pretty impressive

I can't believe that it has been over 15 years ... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1982489


Cox Communications used to do it in California to inject JS into sites. I remember seeing little Cox popup/toast messages in the corner of other sites.


How does this differ in performance from rffmpeg?

I tried to answer it about a year and half ago and that answer is still mostly correct: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41743932

You can mix and match operating systems, macOS, Windows, Linux, you do not need sudo privileges.

rffmpeg needs a shared file system which could be a huge pain to setup: https://github.com/joshuaboniface/rffmpeg/blob/master/docs/S...

ffmpeg-over-ip patches ffmpeg and only needs one port open for the server, then you just run the binary, no mounts needed at all.


I've said it before, but Zero Trust is such a misnomer. It implies less trust in firewalls, VPNs, and other network controls, but much more trust in the ability of end-user devices to securely store and use private keys. Also, the server side has has to trust all incoming connections from the Internet enough to verify the certificates, and run a complicated TLS implementation, which can be a huge attack surface. We're sticking with WireGuard for all our internal users.


Unless you're storing your wireguard keys in your TPM somehow, what stops malware from just copying the keys out and connecting? Are you IP whitelisting every employee's house or what?


Wireguard solves the data in motion problem but not the data at rest problem, doesn’t it?



A big part of the job losses were driven by Amazon and the end of their UPS contract.


How did the word "suddenly" get into the title?


That was editorializing by the person who submitted it, I didn't use that language in my post.


I'm using Firefox on a Linux workstation (without Tor) and I still got the CAPTCHA. The statement "blog.adafruit.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding" is misleading at best. Shame on Cloudflare, this kind of dishonesty makes me not want to trust your RCA marketing pieces.


I received the same prompt from a Windows 11 machine at work. This probably has nothing to do with Tor or Linux, but their Cloudflare settings.


In addition to Cloudflare's usual nonsense (e.g., give us all the cleartext because reasons, and also unblock our bad-UX code that doubles as an additional tracker), it looks like Cloudflare here might also be blocking Tor exit nodes (either proactively, or in response to detected abuses from those addresses).


Probably because the HN hug of death looks like a DDOS attack.


Probably because they're using the cloudflare defaults which are terrible like everyone else.


Same with Firefox Focus on Android.
