Zen Browser is pretty cool and it's not just a fork


There’s also Waterfox and Librewolf (which are more vanilla).

There’s a problem, though: there’s little to no core development happening in any of these forks. If Mozilla comes crashing down, somebody will have to pick it up.


Conspiracy theory - they bought it from someone else for PR


Looks like this has been patched


Modem FW probably had a memory leak :)


Not really. But you can remote into a real computer.


So a windows tablet would make more sense?


Why not an Android with termux? I guess it would depend upon your software stack, but my editor (Emacs) will have native Android port soon and I am stoked to try it. The latest Snapdragon processors are fairly powerful (and Mediatek/Dimensity ones aren't lagging behind either).


Please report back!


Red filter could probably help


Interesting that they use both Redis and Memcache at the same time. Is there any particular reason for that?


Would be amazing if you could get this swapped in and out for a longer roadtrip


Depends on how quick the swap takes. If a normal charge would take 20 minutes and you’re doing a bathroom/food break anyway then it’s basically no extra time. If you need to stand next to a battery swap for a few minutes and move when it’s done then it’s extra.

EVs are weird. Certain usage patterns mean less time waiting than ICE vehicles.


That's the entire idea... normal charging for day-to-day ... swap battery for roadtrips. The swapstations are ~200km's apart on the motorway corridors.


Typical Russian attitude - colonize other nations and act like they owe you

that's not russian. If anybody I'd credit the Romans with it... but let's not forget back when the Romanovs ruled russia

The last couple of years I have been working hard at not directing my animosity towards the Russian state against Russian people. Post like yours makes that much harder. Almost no other people will glorify their past and current crimes like Russians do.


For the most part the Balic was conquered by the Russian empire, mostly from Sweden and Poland.

When the Russian Empire took the Balic states the restored and increased Serfdom to the strongest it has ever been.

Russian Empire and the Soviet Union have been horrible for the Baltics literally for 100s of years.

Just writing in case some reader wonders why the downvotes. Estonia was independent before the second world war and was doing very well. After the second world war until the nineties it was under Soviet occupation. During the occupation, there were mass deportations to Siberia, socialization of property, prevention of travel, prevention of free information and prevention of free enterprise and all those things. Until Estonia became independent again. The economic growth has been rapid since.


Ditto for Latvia and Lithuania.


> Since becoming "independent" they're only degrading with ever-increasing speed.

Yeah, and Belarus is doing so much better than those "degrading" baltics.


References? Can you elaborate?


He is one of those Russian trolls who roams around HN telling that the slaves brought to the Americans should be thankful for the free trip they got. Except since they work on a different historic context, their vile nature gets lost on most readers.

Pre-WWII Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were quite well developed small countries in Europe. Not on par with industrial powerhouses like the UK, but not the most undeveloped parts of Europe either. Estonia is a particularly notable example, since it shares lots of traits with Finland, comparing them is almost like a twins study. In 1938, Estonian and Finnish GDP per capita were very close, 3771 and 3589 dollars respectively.[1] Both were invaded by the USSR in 1939/40. Finland lost territory, but successfully fought Russians off and remained independent. Estonia was occupied by the USSR until 1991.

By 1995, the GDP per capita of Finland was 26 271 dollars, while Estonian GDP was 3134 dollars. In 2021, the Finnish GDP per capita was 53 489 dollars, while Estonian GDP had risen to 27 943 dollars.[2][3]

That's what 50 years of Russian rule does to a country - incredible economic stagnation, and then incredible rebound as soon as Russian tanks rolled out. In early 1990s, the average monthly wage in Estonia was 37 dollars. In 2023, it is 1800 dollars.

Russian trolls love to say how they "built the infrastructure", but they fail to mention that the natural pace of development would've been a much faster, like it is now.

And speaking of that "infrastructure", to a large degree it consisted of extremely polluting factories that produced uncompetitive garbage and went bankrupt as soon as free trade with rest of the world opened up. A great example of their "infrastructure" has been immortalized in Tarkovsky's sci-fi movie Stalker. The polluted wastelands with foaming rivers and white ebbs falling down like snow in summer weren't special effects. That was toxic waste from an upstream chemical plant that directed its waste unfiltered into a nearby river. Several crew members, including Tarkovsky himself, fell ill and died due to the poisioning received there.[4] Cleanup of such "infrastructure" continues to this day, 30 years later.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, and Russians building infrastructure.

I'm lithuanian and this is false propaganda, Lithuania was independant before Rusian occupation back before the world wars and in between the World Wars, unless you consider Stalin and Hitler splitting lands as "purchasing".
