From a quick search I found out they have answers for that on their site:

Aptera’s production-intent solar EV completed its first road trip traversing over 300 miles
Aptera Motors has shared another exciting progress update video, giving us our best look yet at its production-intent solar EV out in the real world. The SEV startup recently completed the PI build’s first-ever road trip, traveling over 300 miles using an all-electric battery and free energy from the Sun.

I read your post and understood it.
Why would you reply without trying to understand what I wrote?
Piracy/copying isn't theft.
Not all countries see copying as theft.
And neither does the platform we're currently using (Lemmy).
Piracy isn't theft though.
That's exactly what corporations want people to think about piracy.
In addition to what you wrote, piracy is also a form of dissent against copyright laws.
I gave an example, I don't necessarily think that's the case here. Just not a fan of portraying piracy as a general "bad thing" that is only reserved for corporations.
I'm not from the USA, and I do support my local library :)
But there's barely any music there and even then it's mostly local.
RED and OPS has things that are currently impossible to find anywhere else.
Plenty of indie content from Bandcamp on RED and OPS.
For some people piracy is also about archival and preservation.
Looks like they have an even easier to use web app.
Although it's limited to single files under 200 MB.
It's a neat idea, but I feel that something like Magic Wormhole would be simpler and better for this.
I guess it's convenient if everyone in the group is already using a torrent client.
Seems to be a recent thing, as I was looking at data from Feb 2023, and unrelated to Norway's use of renewables.
Interesting article nonetheless.
They should definitely cone to a different pricing agreement with Norway as to not negatively affect them.
And it will be even less of a problem once those countries properly ramp up their installation of more renewables and storage.
Iowa and South Dakota rely mostly on wind and are amongst the states that have the cheapest electricity in the USA - https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/Others/24-08-Letter-Vance.pdf

It's certainly true it's easier when you have hydro though.

www.bloomberg.com German Power Slips Below Zero as Negative-Price Phenomenon Grows
German power prices dropped below zero on the first trading day of the year, an increasingly frequent phenomenon in Europe as renewables expand.
German power prices dropped below zero on the first trading day of the year, an increasingly frequent phenomenon in Europe as renewables expand.
Intraday prices in Germany, the region’s biggest market, turned negative during four hours overnight as wind-energy output reached as much as 40 gigawatts, far outstripping demand."
Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their “Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive” Falsehood
cleantechnica.com Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their "Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive" Falsehood - CleanTechnica
Two news stories recently claim solar power makes the cost of electricity increase. It their any truth to those claims?
Norway has one of the lowest. And they don't have only 62.7%.
99% of their energy comes from renewables.
And in the USA, some of the states with lowest prices have the highest % of renewables.
Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14%
www.pv-magazine.com Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 electricity mix, with solar contributing 14%
The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) reports that Germany generated 72.2 TWh of solar in Germany in 2024, accounting for 14% of total electricity generation.
Send the DOI to a science nexus search bot on Telegram and you'll get the paper.
Don't know about the drivers part.
But I was just looking into motherboards a bit, and it looks like the Asrock x870E Nova is a great bang for the buck.
Asrock in general seems to be overall better than the rest these days.
Can't help much since I haven't tried running a Matrix server in a while now, but are you using Conduit or Conduwuit?
Conduwuit is in much more active development and has more features implemented and bugs fixed.
You could also try opening an issue on Github / ask them on Matrix.
Apparently GoFundMe took it down until he changes some parts:

Ukraine is making its infrastructure harder for Russia to destroy by building clean energy sources
www.milwaukeeindependent.com Ukraine is making its infrastructure harder for Russia to destroy by building clean energy sources | Milwaukee Independent
Attacks on two DTEK solar farms last spring is a good example. They destroyed many solar panels and some of the transformers, which step up voltage for long distances or step it down for use in homes. Replacing the transformers and swapping out destroyed panels allowed the farms, which generate 400 megawatts, to be back up in seven days.
Timchenko said an attack on a thermal generating station, which experienced a similar amount of damage, took three to four months to rebuild.
Nuclear ‘Renaissance’ Recalls Past Boondoggles, Legacy of Failures
Dr. Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford University, citing his 2019 analysis he still stands by, serves as an expert witness for the environmental coalition opposing Palisades’ restart. Jacobson has testified that “a fixed amount of money spent on a new nuclear plant means much less power generation, a much longer wait for power, and a much greater emission rate than the same money spent on WWS [wind, water, and sunlight] technologies.”
Dr. Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, authored “Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy” in 2007. It was the first technical study on the feasibility of generating all U.S. energy from fossil fuel- and nuclear-free sources, including renewables such as wind and solar, combined with efficiency and storage.
Dr. Makhijani concluded then that, by the year 2030 (that is, within a quarter-century), fossil fuels and nuclear power could be phased

electrek.co Amprius ships EV battery that reaches 90% charge in 15 minutes
Amprius Technologies has shipped its A-Sample EV cells to Ford, GM, and Stellantis' United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC).
Amprius’ new SiMaxx cells hit an impressive 360 Wh/kg in energy density – far beyond the USABC’s target of 275 Wh/kg. What does that mean for EV drivers? Simply put, longer range without a bulkier battery. Plus, these cells have a power density of 1200 W/kg, meaning more efficient energy delivery.
