I don't run my car indoors because generally it doesn't fit through the door.

Rees-Mogg told Truss to plug nuclear submarine into the grid in c/andfinally@feddit.uk

So from some googling it looks like the biggest nuclear subs top out at about 30MWe of output, which is roughly the same as EDFs West Benhar wind farm (https://www.edf-re.uk/what-we-do/onshore-wind/) which has 7 onshore wind turbines and can power about 18,000 homes.

Subs reactors will also be designed around the needs to power the sub with will presumably have much different load requirements to commercial nuclear power station.

I'm also willing to bet it isn't exactly economically viable running it long term.

Slightly related but there was a time they used a engine as an emergency generator for a town https://youtu.be/FWYbD2ga8DM

But why?

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] Technofrood@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

It's more they are focused on running ASP and CLI apps on Linux, there is no official MS GUI library/framework for Linux which is one big thing missing from modern .net, there are a couple of thrid party ones like Avalonia however.

I know the meme is Ted Cruz being the Zodiac killer, but are we sure it isn't actually RFK Jr?

How do I delete X? I'd love to, but I don't think I have the access or permissions to delete an entire company.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads in c/firefox@fedia.io

The transition to the Manifest V3 framework means extensions like uBlock Origin can't use remotely hosted code. According to Google, it "presents security risks by allowing unreviewed code to be executed in extensions." The new policy changes will only allow an extension to execute JavaScript as part of its package.

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

The punctuality of trains in Europe in c/europe@feddit.org

[–] Technofrood@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

I'm intrigued by what they class as a long distance train, are they counting domestic only services? I wonder if the size of the country plays into it as well as most of the top ones in that list are relatively small, so presumably less long distance routes, and they are presumably shorter routes as well so maybe less chances for delays.
