Be careful, and get prepared.

End of last week Spain did much the same, then we had the #spainblackout!

You can see this burn, also, from space... 🤣

With the recent blackout news from Spain/Portugal, I think now is a great time to pick up the excellent "How Infrastructure Works" by Deb Chachra @debcha if you haven't already.

It's one of those books that gets *more* relevant over time.

Good article but.
Good that it pushes for grid investments, but maybe it's better not to suggest non-renewable sources, if your problem is managing flexibility. Batteries and in general time shifting systems not gas-fired power plants

C'est drôle car il y a 2 semaines j'ai commencé à lire Ravage de Barjavel.

If there's anything we could learn from yesterday's #SpainBlackout is that running software on the cloud that could run locally... is a terrible idea.

#LocalFirst software should be prioritised by companies and public administrations.

I don't think Spanish people will learn the lesson this time (I'm Spanish, so I know what I'm talking about from first hand experience).

I foresee some small groups will react, and start spreading the word, but it will take many other disasters like this one for people to finally understand.
