I don't think it's a huge success, considering they're unable to meet their own demands for electricity, instead driving up energy prices in neighboring countries as well.
The problem of meeting demand is in industrial use and residential heating, both of which aren’t typically electrified in Germany. The problem has more to do with an active war and an industrial sector built on cheap Russian gas.
This. Germany has been strong arming policies around electricity in the EU for quite a while. Forcing their neighbors to sell their electricity for cheap when it is the most expensive in the market while assuming none of the costs and risks.
And they are disrupting neighbors' energy production economics when they offload their overproduction precisely when nobody wants it.
That's German superiority complex in all it's "glory".
None of the European countries meat their energy demands by themselves. All of them regularly import and export electricity from/to their neighbors. That's a good thing and is driving down electricity prices not up.
The reason countries buy electricity from their neighbors is because it's cheaper not because they couldn't meat the demands themselves.
Now Germany is by no means perfect, heating is largely gas based which increases emissions. Ironically the law that was trying to change this, had a big counter campaign that likely contributed to the change of government.
So while the greens energiewende are often blamed for Germanys dependency on gas (although the dependency had been going for much longer), it's the conservatives who likely had a much bigger impact on Germany sticking with gas by preventing to move heating to electricity.
I tried reading Devereux's blog posts on Sparta but bounced off of them. Watching this I remember why. He's punching so hard against a popular image of Sparta as invincible warriors that he sometimes starts painting his own opposite-world parody of Sparta.
For example: After 19:40, not finding it enough to say that Thermopylae was maybe a one-off and that there are multiple examples of Sparta surrendering instead of fighting to the last man, he has to exaggerate:
KOReader is nice. There's also Plato[0] for Kobo, which unlike the Kobo Libra 2 stock reader and KOReader didn't choke on an .epub with the entire Bible in one xhtml file.
Perhaps "rhyme" isn't the right word. There's a certain flow to the way some of the words are laid out. Part of that is the metre shaping the words possible but part of it also seems very deliberate.
It certainly doesn't have much of the last syllable rhyme you would expect today.
Are you projecting? The point is to be able to use the modern web in all of its spectacular complexity, from within a text-based terminal. Which goal it actually achieves!
It's neat yes. But prevents it being used on a headless server without graphics installed. That's primarily where I'd use a text browser... need to download a package/archive but also need to search for it first.
This can, however, be run entirely inside of Docker - something I’ve done numerous times on a remote sever. This even allows for the web interface to be used, though that kind of defeats the purpose.
Could you share why it misses the point according to you?
On the website the following use-case is mentioned:
> run firefox remotely in order to "significantly reduce bandwidth and thus both increase browsing speeds and decrease bandwidth costs."
Another use-case would be running firefox on a remote server with just enough power while using ssh on a smaller, weaker, device (raspbery pi like, an old smartphone with termux, very old hardware, ...).
It's hard to build a browser engine, especially if you intend to support a seemless modern web experience (and thus with javascript, unlike all the text-browsers out there). Some even argue it's not possible to build a modern web browser engine anymore [1].
I think it's the point for browsh to rely on another piece of software that will focus on just that (headless firefox).
Browsh is described as a "text-based browser", but under the hood, a more technical accurate way to summarize it would be "a software to stream a remote firefox in your terminal". The concept (and why it saves bandwitch) is detailed on the docs section "What is browsh?" [2].

I tried that, but found it annoying to occasionally get kicked out of insert mode while writing. I ended up rebinding Caps Lock to Escape instead, with Shift+CL to toggle caps; I quite like this rebinding even outside Vim. Two lines in autohotkey on Windows, or setxkbmap in X11.
