I’ll have you know they’re actually German (Deutsch)!

Between 6-10 hours of what?

Some BIOSes have trouble booting anything other than Windows, so some distros default to clobbering the Windows Boot Manager and trying to manage everything from GRUB. It sounds to me like this is what happened to you except it somehow got borked.

If the Windows install is still present on your drive it should be possible to restore the Windows Boot Manager. Then you won’t be able to boot Linux but you’ll at least be able to get into Windows.

Try booting off Windows install media and running Startup Repair using the following instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/windows-boot-issues-troubleshooting#method-1-startup-repair-tool

If that doesn’t work try one of these solutions:

Good luck!

Yes congrats, we will need to build energy storages. Thats nothing new.

Ok, so where are the energy storages currently being built? This is not exactly a problem that’s cheap or trivial to solve.

It should be 0.

The renewables generate electricity mostly when there is sun/wind, so there is an oversupply at those times and a need to burn natural gas at other times.

The nuclear plants would generate electricity 24/7 with little waste.

Either way, now they are investing the money in digging up lignite, so it’s worse than either renewables or nuclear.

Belgium has them

Bazinga!

I believe if you create a crontab on a systemd system, it actually synthesizes systemd timers from the crontab entries

Try OpenStreetMap for cycling maps, it’s the best for cycling by a mile.

If you want to use it on your phone: OsmAnd app (or Organic Maps)

It’s great, install the Organic Maps or OsmAnd app on your phone. Level of detail of the map is much better than Google in my area.

I only use Google Maps for looking up reviews anymore.

Yeah Synology is pretty good with that kind of stuff (we use one at work). They’ve really just got a Linux system with custom management tools on top. Of course for DIY purposes, self-building is still cheaper and more flexible though.

Interesting blog!

Clicked on your NAS article (one of the first linked ones) and spotted an error… you write that Synology NAS boxes don’t use standard RAID, but they do. They have official docs up on how to hook them up to a standard Linux system for disaster recovery (it’s just Btrfs or ext4 on mdadm RAID).

Probably not super relevant for you or most readers, but just thought I’d point it out :)

Thanks!
