The efficiency of fossil fuel energy sources is in their energy by volume. That’s is and has always been their main benefit.

While it is true, that their energy density is high, often it is actually much less relevant due to the poor efficiency of the devices burning said fuel. With cars, you’ll notice that ICE cars have a pretty terrible efficieny themselves, which partly negates the effect of high energy density of fossil fuels. These days electric cars and ICE cars can have very similar driving ranges despite their differences in energy density.

It is just a dead CMOS battery. So the clock had the wrong time, which in turn also causes the log entries to have the wrong time and date. Simply replace the battery. It is most likely of the CR2032 type.

Syncthing is neat, but you shouldn’t consider it to be a backup solution. If you accidentally delete or modify a file on one machine, it’ll happily propaget that change to all other machines.

or DNS over TCP.

musl does support DNS over TCP since version 1.2.4.

Debian is superior for server tasks. musl is designed to optimize for smaller binaries on disk. Memory is a secondary goal, and cpu time is a non-goal. musl isn’t meant to be fast, it’s meant to be small and easily embedded.

I’ve used Alpine on servers a lot and didn’t notice any performance difference when compared to glibc in the vast majority of cases. This performance comparison even suggests that musl is quite a bit faster in some cases and in most instances at least as fast as glibc, which matches my experience.

Okay, thanks for the explanation!

You make it sound like Debian is obviously superior to Alpine. Alpine Linux is just fine for server tasks. It is nice that is it lightweight, but that isn’t the only thing it has going for it.

Das liegt in den meisten Fällen aber nicht daran, dass die Leute nicht finanziell dazu in der Lage wären, sondern in der schlechten Finanzbildung.

Ich lasse das mal hier: Aus der OECD-Bestandsaufnahme zur Finanzbildung in Deutschland:

Obwohl fast 90 Prozent der Erwachsenen in Deutschland aktiv Geld zurücklegen, investieren nur 18 Prozent in Kapitalmarktprodukte. Damit schneidet Deutschland im Vergleich mit anderen EU-Ländern unterdurchschnittlich ab.

Beschäftigt euch mit dem Kram. Je früher im Leben, desto besser.

I fully agree. Repairing a bike isn’t all that difficult. Even more intimidating looking tasks are quite doable. During the pandemic I had to replace the worn drive train of my bike and since no bike shop would take in the bike for repair, I had to do it myself. It was much less difficult than I anticipated.
