Per capita the Netherlands should definitely be in the list

In 2023, the Netherlands was the country with the highest PV capacity per capita in Europe with 1,299Wp. Worldwide, only Australia had a higher capacity per capita.

I can’t really find the per 1000 km² when I try to calculate it I get 595 MW/1000 km^2 (I used the 2023 number, it had more sunny days than 2024)

Maybe its somewhat correct, chatgpt gives me this

To find the solar power generated per 1000 km² in the Netherlands in MW, we need to know the total installed solar capacity and the land area of the Netherlands.

Here’s how we can estimate it:

1. Current Solar Capacity in the Netherlands

As of 2024, the Netherlands had approximately 22,000 MW (or 22 GW) of installed solar capacity.

2. Land Area of the Netherlands

The total land area is about 41,500 km².

3. Solar Capacity per 1000 km²

\text{Capacity per 1000 km²} = \left( \frac{22,000 \text{ MW}}{41,500 \text{ km²}} \right) \times 1000 \approx 530 \text{ MW per 1000 km²}

Final Answer:

Approximately 530 MW of solar capacity per 1000 km² in the Netherlands.

Let me know if you’d like to calculate actual solar energy generation (e.g., MWh/year) instead of capacity.

I also asked for actual generated 482 MW per 1000KM²

The piratebay is blocked in my country, I still use the piratebay (actually I just started using it again now that streaming has become more and more shitty). I just use a VPN now.

The more the push, the more underground and with extra layers of encryption we go.

I always fill them up with that stuff black holes are made of, it’s pretty dense.

You never really jumped in both feet, if you really make the switch you only used open source software that runs native on Linux, also you start programming instead of playing games.

I spend about 300 euros on a really high end usb DAC for my desktop. I honestly don’t hear the difference between the desktop output and the expensive DAC. But I do totally hear the difference between a decent and cheap pair of headphones. I do still like my DAC because it’s able to power basically all large headphones and it also powers my speakers, so I don’t see it as money wasted.

My internship supervisor. I did an internship back in 2006, I had this supervisor that was very very pro open source. He asked anyone on the team to use a Linux distro for work. I used Ubuntu for work for a long time. Slowly I started liking my personal laptop with windows less and less. So at some point (I think 2010 or 2011) I just went to Linux for my laptop as well. At first a dual boot, but I booted in Windows less and less. So on my next laptop some years later I skipped windows entirely.

I don’t miss windows at all, but I do really hate I have to work with teams. It’s the only app on my laptop I really hate on Linux.

The whole tree network thing is not as proven as many people think.

Didn’t Russia promise that if Ukrainian got rid of nukes they would leave them alone?

I tried obsidian, but the Android app is pretty terrible. So in the end I still use Google keep. I would definitely like a more open Foss option, but haven’t found one that works on Linux and Android that I like.

Yeah I’m not surprised or angry about it, isn’t this basically what has always happened? Like at some point we had elevator operators, some company automated the elevator and now there are basically zero elevator operators.

This is just happening all the time, like when I was a kid every gas station had people working at the station. Nowdays most stations around me are completely without workers, it’s all self checkout (like supermarkets, McDonalds, etc).

I actually had it the other way around, I wanted to learn to understand and speak Spanish a lot better. My wife is half Spanish and her family speaks zero English. Anyway started to learn with Duolingo and my Spanish did improve. But after a while I got to a point where most of the mistakes I made where spelling errors. I don’t care how to spell in Spanish, I’m not going to write them, I just want to understand it and be able to respond. There is no option (afaik) to just learn the meaning of the words.

We also don’t have the grid support for everyone to start charging at home. At least not where I live. At the moment even solar panels are becoming a problem, major peaks during sunny days, where energy prices even go negative and people with dynamic energy contracts turn panels off.

Even before mobile phones, there where paid phone services, some about sex but some just to talk to people, that got people addicted.

I remember something called “the party line” where you would dial a paid number and you would be connected to sort of a group chat with some other people.

Some people even got in debt because of massive phone bills.

Changing speed of your mouse pointer? I don’t really get it.

That’s pretty cool, I was thinking about building my own thermostat a few years ago.

My previous one died and the company stopped making them. But what I really liked is that it was a “smart” thermostat that was made before the IoT age.

It was “smart” in a way that it had a motion sensor and basically just turned on the heating for 1 to 3 hours after it saw motion. The duration was something you could set yourself.

I really liked that concept, because I never had to change anything during a holiday or even a night in a hotel. If you aren’t at home, no motion, no unnecessary heating.

The thermostat was in a pretty central place in our house so you would definitely trigger it every 2 hours when getting a drink or using the toilet.

Wait YouTube had ads? 😉
