As a note, Dennis Giese —who is the co-author of the Defcon talk mentioned in the article— is also the author of Dustcloud, which is used as the basis of Valetudo. Though I'm not aware that Valetudo will ever support Ecovacs robots.

I wonder what could be the issue here, I use the same image without any issue.

Oh yes, if it ends up replacing concrete that would definitely be a win. It never was my intention to dunk on the invention, I just felt that the title was misleading and had an urge to correct it.

Carbon-negative is a long stretch, it's just using waste material that is usually used as fuel. It's at best low-carbon compared to concrete, which honestly is already a good thing.

At around the same time, Meyer learned about the large amount of waste lignin that is produced every year, primarily from pulp and paper processes, which is also expected to be produced from biorefineries in the future.

[...] During the production of pulp and paper products, roughly 100 million tons of lignin are produced annually as a waste byproduct and subsequently burned as low-value fuel.

Meyer saw lignin as a polymer that could be used as a material instead of a fuel and sought to crosslink it like an epoxy resin. Using lignin allowed Meyer to sequester CO2 captured from the air in the form of biomass that would otherwise be burned.

(Emphasis mine)

Oh nice, that's a clever solution and indeed easy to host.

Are they really hosting it themselves or are they just proxying request to their "partner"?

Holy molly, I wasn't expecting this! Well, I guess I'll try that out once Electric Eel's released

TrueNAS SCALE expects you to deploy Kubernetes clusters, it is unfortunately not meant for running plain Docker. You can jump through hoops to get it working but I personally gave up and ended up running a VM on top of TrueNAS just to run Docker on it.

I don't know about Unraid though and OpenMediaVault felt a bit unpolished the last time I used it and I can't attest for its ZFS support.

I'm pretty sure the EU Commission will have something to say about this

If I understand correctly, it's just a fancy donation?

I just set it up following your comment but I cannot figure out how to set it up in order to type in different languages without changing keyboards.

Have you thought of practicing a sport in a club / team? I find that it's a good way to focus on something else than my issues and it helps to socialize.
