True, and a bummer at the moment.
I'm hoping there's a future efficiency gain. Like how we transitioned from nicad, to li, and now to solid?
The concept is super cool.

I agree this is a significant factor. I saw some documentaries talking about the decisions we made with the power grid pros/cons wise when you consider ac/dc. No the band 😋
We use so much technology that requires direct current that we have at spend a bunch of resources converting it back from ac. The whole efficiency of transportation from large central generation vs smaller local less efficient stations.
The documentary said some industrial areas in Germany? were considering providing local grid based direct current.
I'm curious what the cost benefit analysis says about going back to local DC and not needing so many transformers.
I am also interested in the flow batteries.
There's also upcoming solid state batteries, and maybe flow batteries if they can get the electrolyte mixture efficient.
I am very intrigued by flow batteries. It basically behaves like a gas fuel concept. Pump some out, pump some in, charge it slowly somewhere else,. hopefully from solar and wind, or fusion haha
What about virtualizing windows?
Only thing I know of is hyperv, but it's not widely used I don't think and MS is pushing azure $tack right?
Do hit the TrueNas forums. It's very important if you're not a ZFS pro.
I had to learn quite a bit before I got my setup right.
The FreeBSD people can be... abrasive at times, let it roll off your back if they are. TN is one of my favorites.
You included all the sides on the burger!
What's the calorie count on that!?
As I'm asking this nonsense question, I'm thinking of the punch burger commercial from the parks and rec show where they say who cares, put it in your body!
