Even if most of the energy goes into kinetic energy of the air, that air will lose momentum via turbulence and friction with the surrounding air, which will end up as... heat.
On a side note, this site reacts to window size changes (phone rotation portrait <-> landscape) with a really nice animated shuffle of the content. It's more visible on the "Sentences" page linked in another comment [0]. I've not seen that before, and certainly wasn't expecting it on a site that is otherwise pretty no-frills.
I was extremely impressed by that too. However, if you click on anything else in the sidebar then you get the animation again. I would prefer the visual treat to work once on initial entry into the site.
I suspect that Google would punish the screen rewrites that go on in this dance, there most definitely is layout shift and Google don't like that.
You will want to reconsider the name if you plan to have a presence in Australia or New Zealand. "Abo" is an ethnic slur similar in offensiveness to the N-word.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share this important feedback. As the repository owner, I want to clarify that "abogen" is simply a shortened form of "audiobook generator," which is what this project does.
I completely understand your concern, and I'm grateful that you pointed this out. It's clear that your comment comes from a place of wanting to help, and I really value community members like you who look out for potential issues.
The name was chosen purely based on the technical functionality (audiobook generation), and I had no awareness of the unfortunate similarity you've mentioned. As English is not my native language, I sometimes miss these cultural nuances that native speakers would naturally catch. I appreciate your understanding that this was entirely unintentional.
"Abo" carries the same cultural impact as "Paki" in the UK, and isn't a word in its own right, let alone a very commonly used one. Completely different kettle of fish. Seeing as you want to derail this into some free speech rant - it's just distasteful. You really think anybody who wants legislative control over freedom of speech in Australia gives a damn about Aboriginals getting offended?
The project presumably is a portmanteau of "audio book generator".
I agree that the project need not be renamed to remove the single syllable that may be an obscure slur, especially since every syllable may be an obscure slur in some language and you can't expect somebody to learn them all just to avoid them.
But there was no need to use that syllable as a slur.
I'm glad to see this comment here. People build these projects for family and friends - which is great - and encourage their use, without considering what happens if the only sysadmin suddenly dies. You wouldn't let one person at work hold all of the keys, so the same should be true for your homelab.
While I haven't given all of my keys to my family, there's a clear route for them to get them, and written instructions how to do so. Along with an overview of the setup and a list of friends and colleagues they can turn to, this is enough for them to get access to everything and then decide if they want to carry on using it, or migrate the data somewhere else.
To be frank, if you die, isn't it much more likely your friends and family will just stop using your homelab setup? They'll switch back from Jellyfin to Netflix, replace the smart light bulbs with regular ones, etc.
This is a good point, but the average person is unlikely to hear about a skirmish on a different continent, and then know they should start stocking up on tinned food and bottled water. The problem is with the volume of information. It's impossible to take all of it in, so you need to pick and choose, and stay within your own limits. Some people might have the capacity read a whole newspaper's worth a day, others can only manage the local headlines.
From my time in fusion research circles, you're correct, but it's also not a simple "weapons or energy?" question. It could only have ever been a pure research facility. At the time of design, the physics wasn't certain enough to aim for net energy gain. Where the weapons research came in is in the choice of laser focus. Instead of "direct drive", where the lasers directly strike the fusion fuel, NIF lasers strike the inside of a Hohlraum, which produces X-Rays that then heat the fuel. X-Ray opacity is an important topic in nuclear weapons research.
Bear in mind that I wasn't directly involved, and this my impression picked up from conversations during my time in fusion research, which was about 10 years ago.
All scientific exploration begins with the humble acknowledgement that there are aspects of our wonderfully mysterious universe that we simply can't explain (yet).
