I develop and maintain a plurality of custom linux distros for embedded hardware using Yocto. I used to be the InitV guy, the first half of my distros use it and it's horrible. Every change breaks something. Services start and don't stop or vice versa. I recently switched to using Systemd and life is so much better. You can actually reason about systemd's operation and load order. The systems I build linux for have 128MB of ram up to 1GB of ram, are mostly 32 bit and use SD-Card like storage. In other words not exactly super performant and systemd boots in the same time as InitV. At worst it's 2-3 seconds slower. If I can't tell the difference on a $20 microprocessor I guarantee you can't either on the current state of the art CPU's. For reference my latest systemd based distro is 32 bits, runs at 400MHz and possesses a proud 200bogoMips of grunt.

This thing again? The colour is only based on source of energy, not actual quantity of CO2 and hence actual impact on the atmosphere. If I had one family on an island burning a coal stove it would be coloured black.

I know the live data is there but it doesn’t affect the colour assessment one little bit.

Also since when is black bad? Bit racist no?

It made 1mA of current, 0.5mW of power. Pretty long bow to draw linking this to renewable energy storage. A kettle uses a kW or 2 just to boil water. You would need a million of them to make a packet of noodles.

Is anyone else a little bothered that Uber uses machine learning for “identification of points of interest during conversations between driver-partners and riders”

My thoughts exactly

This doesn’t show CO2 emissions. It just lists each country generation type and what that generation type produces per kWh. Where is the actual volume of CO2 per hour or per day?

This site would show 1 family on a little island with a coal furnace as worse than an entire nation burning gas.
