    Not a tanky or China apologist but it’s actually doing fine (not great but very well might be soon).

    Here’s the information you’re looking for. China is doing a lot of things right and is ahead of schedule. They’re making good progress on electrification and their renewables are growing exponentially at an insane rate.

    They’re still addicted to coal but with the developments in solar and wind and a very large geography and energy storage programs they’re going to be phased out and really fast in the coming years.

    Given the fact that they’re pretty much producing everything for western economies and is recently industrialised China is actually doing fine. They emit a lot less per person than the average European while producing goods for 2x their population.

    It might sound weird but China is one of the countries that’s actually taking climate change seriously.





  • I feel like a lot of people here assume that you’re going to be automatically arrested when going to DPRK but it’s not completely true. You can get easily arrested and you have to follow strict cultural/government imposed rules.

    The DPRK previously has done a “put it’s best foot forward” and keep tourists in a bubble where you’re not allowed to take pictures or videos unless in specifically permitted zones. It’s essentially a propaganda tour.

    So you definitely can go to the DPRK as a tourist but for the love of god follow their rules to the letter.



  • I bought a used desktop with 4 SATA ports. Has i5 7th gen and currently 5 TB and an 500GB SSD and has max ram of 64GB. I guess the HDD are not included in the price?

    I’m not sure what your software requirements are but if you go the DIY route a desktop works. I made the BIOS auto turn on on power restored and have services start on startup so it gives the server feeling.

    Bonus is that you can use it as a gaming server and upgrade the components easily for a while depending on the motherboard.
