And every year new open mass surveillance worse than the UK and US attempts to be passed and barely fails.

GDPR also doesn’t mean shit if it is barely enforced against large companies or the fines aren’t revenue-proportional… Then it is just a cost of doing business.

They should be the default for solar installations and grid-level storage, but are too new.

They can also replace lead-acid batteries for many applications.

Lithium will still rule microelectronics and wearables, but all lower density stuff should switch to sodium.

That being said, for cold environments like Scandinavia and the US Midwest & canada, sodium ion works better in both cold and heat swings than Lithium variants that it might be worth the tradeoff in capacity because in the long cold months, the reduced capacity and performance of lithium chemistries would completely close the gap anyways.

I dunno man, my farmer works from 6h to 23h with barely a break in between, only eats when he absolutely needs to or is going to fight ghosts alone to get sprinklers to ease the work just a little, and maybe has a couple days of talking to people or going to the arcade per season lol.

Relaxing for the player, maybe not for the farmer themselves.

CrowdSec could probably catch a moderate amount of them, but that is really geared towards bad actors and malicious probing bots.

Fial2ban also wouldn’t work at all here since they aren’t trying brute force attacks, they are just using high bandwidth stealing as much public data from everything possible.

I think cloudflare is also making an alternative (or has already), but it is a tough problem.

Yeah my favorite electronics hobby supplies website has started to take 2-10 seconds to load. Still great service and the best selection of modules in my region though. They should really throw Anubis in front of it.
