This excellent podcast features data highlighting the significant growth of solar energy and the current state of renewable energy adoption worldwide. Ember does great work with their reports!

Despite claims from both "fossil gradualists" who would like to see the energy transition fail, and "net-zero puritans" who deny that the energy transition is happening at all because emissions are still rising, the transition is very much under way and gathering momentum. Countries are switching to renewables, electrifying transportation and decarbonizing heating faster than even the most seasoned energy analysts thought was possible, while the fossil fuel holdouts still white-knuckling their strategies are quickly dwindling in number. Ember, a clean energy think tank, published a report in April titled _Global Electricity Review 2025_ that plainly lays out these facts. One of its lead authors, Nic Fulghum, joins us to discuss the report's findings in a conversation absolutely packed with the data you can use to win any debate with a transition denier. Nic outlines how solar is growing faster than any energy source in human history, electrification of transport and heating are advancing quickly enough to materially slash fossil fuel demand, and power generation from fossil fuels is headed into structural decline. Global power-sector emissions may finally be close to peaking, thanks to the accelerating energy transition. **Guest:** **Nicolas Fulghum** is a Senior Energy and Climate Data Analyst at the global energy think Ember, and one of the lead authors of Ember’s flagship report – the Global Electricity Review.

There is a significant disparity between establishing XMPP and Matrix in 2025. While I appreciate the potential of Matrix, it currently falls short of expectations. I advocate for increased investment in XMPP development. A key area for […]

AI is often seen as a catch-all for automation, but like the move to the cloud, hidden costs arise when outsourcing more work.

I came across an insightful comment on HackerNews about the rising costs of Google’s Gemini models. While more powerful and capable […]

Out with the apps, in with the fundamentals.

My daughter's new machine is an OpenBSD ThinkPad. She's learning the shell, not the swipe.

When she's an adult, she won't need tech support. She'll just fix her own damn printer.

I would be totally fine with this if every government notification system utilised an open protocol like RSS.

When I started on Mastodon in 2018, I was less concerned about the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and followed many accounts and hashtags. An exciting shift, for me, is that I find myself muting and unfollowing in 2025. There is enough chatter on Mastodon to make curating my timeline necessary for […]

I really enjoy the simplicity of Miniflux, but I find myself using a third interface for access versus the built-in. I need triple pane and @freshrss has it out of the box. I am going to kick the tyres on my OpenBSD VPS and see how it works

Upgrades on OpenBSD are so easy. Just bumped the server to "-current" since I live on the edge. PostgreSQL 17 -> 18 zero issues after following the README.

Matrix feels like the future, but wow… it’s still a bit of a mess. Synapse is the only Matrix server I’ve found that runs reliably on OpenBSD, but the bridges are painful to set up and even worse to maintain.

In a moment of frustration, I installed Prosody IM on my OpenBSD box… and had it fully […]

I got all excited that Ford was going to add home assistance support before realising I named my API account for access to my truck homeassistant. I wish more companies would take an API first approach for things like this
