  • A blockchain that uses proof-of-work would waste far more energy than it would save, just on doing the accounting. What blockchain do you propose using that would have a minimal transaction cost, in watts and in coin?

    If we’re talking about local charging of EVs, I guess that would be a little like putting a gas pump in my front yard for my neighbors to use. Probably going to hit zoning issues if you open that up to general commercial use.

    How does a ‘solar energy blockchain’ know where the electricity used to run it comes from? There’s no difference between 120v ac coming from a generator or coming from the grid, or coming from a solar array.















  • The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:

    https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler

    Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn’t going to cut it.

    Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I’ve searched but I haven’t found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I’m looking for features like:

    • reliable calendar sync
    • sharable calendars.
    • scheduling help - when to have a meeting?
    • how many attendees for a group event, how many invited etc.
