Halfway the EU gas storage filling season, the Netherlands is lagging. Our storages are only at 31% now, way behind the EU average of 53%, and other major storage countries like France (52%), Germany (45%) and Italy (71%).
Based on security of supply advice by Gasunie, Dutch government had set a target of 80% by 1 November 2026. Our EU obligation is 74%. Both would practically seem out of reach by now, which is unfortunate in view of our dependence on LNG imports in an unstable world.

Man, old universities are weird places. Went to attend a talk (featuring linguists and computer scientists debating language models) in a room I hadn't been in before, and it turns out they have a full-ass Flemish tapestry just hanging from the wall.

More than 10,000 Starlink satellites currently orbit the Earth.
We see them crawling across dark skies, no matter how remote our location, and streaking through images from research telescopes.
SpaceX recently announced that it wants to launch
one million more of these satellites
as orbital data centres for AI computing power.
A few years ago, we wrote a paper predicting what the night sky would look like with 65,000 satellites from four planned megaconstellatio…

A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth
If SpaceX launches one million new satellites, it will increase atmospheric pollution and risk of falling debris. And we will see more satellites than stars.

Here's one more photo from last weekend's hike.
I'm just SOOOO happy that I was out and about last weekend. Today it's rainy and cold and the snow line dropped again. It could indeed be that this photo would now be covered in snow.
But last week, it was just a nice walk up there.

Zu EU-Kommission und Geschwindigkeitskontrolle:
Wieso produziert man eigentlich noch Autos, welche ab Werk >130 km/h fahren können? Ausser in Deutschland darf man doch nirgendwo schneller fahren. Alle schwächer und günstiger machen. Dann einfach noch eine Deutschland-Edition, die schneller fährt, aber einen Schalter hat, der vor der Grenze umgelegt werden muss, und dessen Einstellung vom Fahrtenschreiber aufgezeichnet wird.
Im Ausland aktiv?
Auto weg, da Typ so nicht zug…
