This is a fundamental difference between us. The quintessence. It's why all the world fears our Russian Bear and hates your American Eagle.
You have a world domination and so can print green paper, create it's value out of thin air and pay with it for everything you like. And everybody who sells the oil for everything except this green paper shall be democratized to the stone age. You don't ask yourself whether it's just. It's just efficient.
We believe that it's unjust to do. We believe that if we have some money then the country that issued this money has some goods and is willing to sell us, and if not so then the disparity MUST be corrected for the GREATER JUSTICE and not because we profit from it. And we will correct it sacrificing our lives in the process.
After this, it's not necessary to discuss the fact that your economy does not produce anything except the paper. We at least pump the oil. All your production facilities are in China, and your Detroit lies in ruins. And that your dollars cannot buy anything valuable. Car - yes, car factory - no.
It will last while no oil is sold for any other currency except green papers.
Saddam tried to trade oil for Euros. Killed.
Gaddafi tried to establish a gold dinar. Killed.
And then your President made an epic fail: he pressed SWIFT to disconnect Iran. It appeared to be impossible to bomb Iran to submission, and Iran, seeing no method to obtain dollars, began taking everything in exchange. There are rumors that Iran took from Turkey a physical gold. Basically it means that gold becomes a currency again.
Then your President made a second Epic Fail. He stated that every dollar transaction in the world should be performed according to US laws, even if all sides are not US residents. As a result, the leading french bank plainly refused to work with dollars. Then it was an avalanche of events, beginning with Iran selling oil to Russia for consumer goods to opening an oil exchange in SPb, Russia, trading oil for everything including yuans.
Didn't your mother teach you that the loans should be repaid?
Yesterday I've read a news that water facility in Kharkov, Ukraine has been cut off electricity for non-payment. As a result, there is no water in Kharkov. Of course, this news is a Putinist propaganda. But still it does not matter that personally you have paid your water bills.
It was quite amusing to observe score falling from 3 to 0 exactly when the dying rabid psychotic entity awakens on export pipelines and turns on computers.
It means that you either buy uranium from us Russians and return spent isotopes to Russia where they are buried somewhere in tundra, or have your personal fluorescent nuclear tundra in the middle of inhabited Europe. Do you really need a fluorescent tundra?
You are right. If you live in a country that has won the match for world domination and has an ocean or two between it and it's own tanks blasting the world to submission - it's quite safe. It's also quite safe to press the green papers, pay with them for Russian oil, then press Russia to invest them to derivatives and at last to initiate a financial crisis to burn said derivatives and leave Russian pensioners without pensions.
Gaddafi tried to control European nations with quite big loans and donations to their politicians. He doesn't count since he's African. European politicians decided to kill Gaddafi instead of returning loans. They don't count since he's African. Mishiko Saakashvili performed "Operation Clear Field" (Genocide of South Ossetia) but has been promptly stopped by Russians. It doesn't count since Georgia is Asia. USA spent lots of money to teach Ukrainians that they are not Ukrainians but sons of ancient Ukrs that have built the Ancient Egypt, excavated the Black Sea and made Caucasus Mountains out of the excavated soil, but ethnic Russians in Donbass are Colorado beetles, carriers of imperial ideology and as such require extermination. We Russians laughed at this idiocy not thinking that 23 years of such teachings would result in a bloodshed that cannot be stopped because it requires Russian (or other, say UN) tanks which are not allowed there, and OSCE patrols the border and allows no tanks. It does not count since USA is not Europe. Serbs has shot F-117 Stealth Fighter and, reportedly, B2 in 1999. It does not count since 117 is not European. USA finances Syrian opposition. ISIS is a result. It doesn't count since any side is European. 911 also resulted from the same US policy in Afghanistan. It also doesn't count - Afghanistan is Asia. And BTW USA controls Russian State bank with so called "Budget Rule" that requires excess money to be spent to US Treasures while Russian companies borrow money from West. It also doesn't count. Albanians were allowed to run to Serbia from maoist Albanian regime and settle in Kosovo. And they cut Kosovo from Serbia with NATO help. Oops, they are all Europeans... Well, this is a problem.
When you live in an apartment your apartment borders with outside with one of it's 6 sides. When you live in a separate building it borders with 5 sides of six meaning 5 times more heat losses and 5 times more money to heat it. Also, it means that you generate heat from fuel, and Europe is not Siberia with it's cheap firewood.
One more traditional error. The 1-kW server will give 1kW of heat. The dedicated electric heater will give you the same 1kW of heat but no service expected from the server.
* Install a simple wood fired boiler. Quite popular in some central European countries like Austria. * Get a low temperature air-water heat pump.
As I already mentioned, a wood fired boiler necessarily sucks in 50 cubic meters of cold air per 10 kg of firewood. When the outside temperature falls below minus 20 degrees centigrade your boiler will in fact cool you unless you install a dedicated pipe directly to the fireplace.
The heat pump also will not work below about -20degC.
And the last. If you use BOILER and not just a stove then prepare to spend a fortune to glycol.
This brings me to that "extra insulation". Don't seal of your house or you will soon have mold problems.
1. Correctly installed heat insulation should contain a vapor insulation on warm side. 2. If you burn anything your stove sucks in enough cold air from outside to make an overventilation with cold air running from every hole, every door, every wall plug defeating all your heat insulation. 50 cubical meters of air are necessary to burn every 10 kg of firewood and they will be necessarily sucked in. You should supply it with cold air directly from outside to prevent it.
Are you personally paying any money for your personal carbon emission? And BTW: The greens state that the forests are the lungs of the planet but pray tell me Sir, where does the carbon goes after it's trapped by trees?
And also: The efficiency of heat pump seriously depends on the temperature difference. It may give you 3 KW heat per KW spent in spring and autumn but not in winter.
Last time I bought batteries for UPS I spent about 8000 roubles (About $200 that time) 85Ah 24V (2kWh). And it was a discounted price! The SLA batteries last about 1000 cycles. It means that storage of every kWh costs about 4 roubles (10 cents that time). Grid power costs here 0.84 roubles - about 2 cents per kWh, 5 times less, but it's quite unique place of Russia. More typical price in Russia is about 3 roubles per kWh ($0.75).
Other battery technologies available are even more pricey.
What does it mean? If you have gratis solar panels your electric bill will still be higher than grid due to storage costs.
The article you quote states that the batteries are used for stabilization of network frequency. It's absolutely different mode requiring no regular full charge and discharge.
There ARE some new technologies for cheap energy storage, including NaS, Vanadium and Uranium flow batteries etc, but the ordinary European consumer cannot buy them.
Nobody wants to actually EXPORT your precious US LNG. Obama just PROMISES to do so but promises are not supply. And the real price of your LNG will be 1/4 higher than Gazprom's. Who will cover the difference? Europeans. For what cause? You really don't understand for what cause?
You Europeans never had any gas problem with us Euro-loving Russians. All the problems are dying rabid psychotic entity lying over export pipelines and your Brussels bureaucrats galvanizing this cadaver. The North Stream would give you enough gas but it isn't allowed by them. The South Stream would give you enough gas but it isn't allowed to build. And it's YOU who elected them into Brussels. And you know who bribes them to accept an ephemerid LNG from that side of the pond.
You may buy a really big UPS to survive a short term outage. And I advice you to have some fuel heater (preferably propane one) and some fuel for short term outage. You shall throw them out of Brussels before the long term outage.
I also recommend a PV panel, heat insulation, triple heat-reflecting windows, etc. But it's secondary.

There are political activists in Russia and worldwide who believe that mesh networks are usable as a backup communication medium during Internet blackout caused by political instability. The databases of WiFi geomapping just help the opponents to disrupt the backup communications.
Before Putin, the testing of school graduates had a form of individual exams and essays performed by teachers. Now, in attempts to exclude corruption, the automated formal tests (YEGE - Yedinyi Gosudarstvennyi Ekzamen - The Uniform State Exam) are performed. The graduates just mark the numbers of correct answers.
I am not going to discuss the destruction of rational thinking by training the children to choose the only correct answer, especially when there is a political course such as history. I just inform you that the HIGHEST grades were obtained by peasants from Northern Caucasian republics such as Chechnya, Ingushetia and Daghestan (Remember Tsarnaev?). As a result, since the students are accepted to institutes according to YEGE only, they were accepted to institutes and it became clear that their grades are FAKE. And since it appeared impossible to eradicate corruption in Caucasian schools the only result was that the Russian institutes required the right to reinstate the entry exams, and some leading institutes obtained such a right. All other institutes accept them and just sell the good marks and diplomas.
And there IS such a troyan. http://xakep.ru/post/58104/ (in Russian). Shortly, the BIOS of Chinese-made Intel boards contained a hidden hypervisor having access to everything. The BIOS had exactly the same (VISIBLE) contents that the official Intel BIOS should have but reflashing the BIOS with THE SAME (again VISIBLE) contents fully removed the hypervisor.
You are right. But there IS a FPGA strong enough to program it to be a processor. And there are FPGA configs to make some popular architectures out of it, including Sun Sparc. It's quite enough for 90 per cent of jobs you make on your Intel or AMD desktop. I don't believe that it's possible to create a bugged VHDL compiler or bugged FPGA. It' too low-specialized for such task, and any mismatch between FPGA and the VHDL's idea of it will just cause a total failure.
