  • Go watch the Aging Wheels Silverado EV road trip video. Charging infrastructure is fine, and even when the truck itself broke and wouldn’t charge at the proper speed it was still fine.

    EVs aren’t being adopted because the fast charging infrastructure is lacking. Improvements can be made, sure, but that’s not the reason. 95%+ of people do not need fast charging.

    When (slow, 120 or 240V) charging is more available to people without garages/driveways (read: at apartments and in workplace parking lots) you’ll see EV adoption in the US ramp up substantially: new car buyers will opt for the thing that’s less likely to suddenly cost double-per-mile next week, and used car buyers will have an increasing supply of 3-10 year old EVs to choose from.


  • I resisted so much the concept of systemd, and certainly there still are some aspects of it that I think are objectively bad (looking at you, binary journal), but as I’ve been forced into using it for work I do think it’s a better system on the whole than sysvinit… at least for servers. I don’t know if it’s better or worse on desktops because I never really need to think about my init system on my own PCs.
