I used to think it didn't matter how electricity is used to generate heat, so I came to the same conclusion you did. Surprisingly, it does matter. Rather than a computer's resistive heating, it is much more efficient to refrigerate the outdoors and point the refrigerator's heat sink indoors. This is how a heat pump works. It's basically awesome.

Laptops are better, because they have an integrated uninterruptible power supply, but worse because most can't fit two hard drives internally. Less of a problem, now that most have USB3. Just run external RAID if you have to.

Arguably, a serious home server will need a UPS anyway to keep the modem and router online, but a UPS for just the NAS is still better than no UPS at all. Also, only a small UPS is needed for the modem and router. A full desktop UPS is much larger.

In all seriousness, though, I doubt there is a single person alive who would condemn Russian election interference and excuse US election interference.

A person can't regrow legs, but countries are famously not people.

Someone else would have been better, but Carney is the best Canada can manage with its dogshit voting system. At least he's a servant of the state and not corrupt dictator wannabe like Trump. (Increasingly not wannabe)

I'm starting to think the only way to tackle climate change is for the people to start destroying fossil fuel infrastructure, starting with the highest volume targets that take the longest time to replace.

It's the UAE—not Saudi Arabia.

The only question I have is why the US was contributing such a disproportionate amount in the first place. It was an accident waiting to happen. It's not like the US has always been terribly concerned with democracy. If they were, they'd have a real voting system like Germany. I really don't understand why Trump didn't happen sooner.
