  Careful consideration doesn’t work around thermodynamics very much, I’m afraid. When we move forward, we do not energy transition but rather add new atop the old: we never stopped burning classical biomass, coal or natural gas. Renewable energy is just a new thin layer on top. Depletion of mineral resources necessary for renewable infrastructure buildout and maintenance indeed does a number on the overall economics and energetics, but unfortunately in the wrong drection.

  Looking at glass, or cement. Do you know a heat pump that runs at up to 1600 C? So it’s just plain ohmic heating. And it’s a 24/7 process, so it needs electrochemical backup. Do you know what that does to your EROEI?

  If you want to see where we’re going, look no farther than Russia’s Internet. Which is currently much worse than China’s. So be prepared for your service to be degraded to unusability.

  You can run your VPN on your firewall (mine is opnsense, behind a cable modem in bridge mode). E.g. wireguard with Mullvad is a good option. Or you can set up a VPN client on your end devices – Mullvad gives you 5 endpoints for one account.

  I also don’t trust my ISP nor my national government, which is the bulk of my private Internet use goes over a fail-close VPN.

  Truly open/libre systems will have to be RISCV. They don’t have to be the fastest.

  You can’t do much with them, unless you’re into deep leaning. And the power bill would bankrupt you. I wish I had a Cerebras box, but even the smallest one is 20 kW, liquid cooled.
