With AOL killing Dial Up Internet I was curious what still exists. I've found that there is over an estimated 160,000 people still using dial up in the US as their only connection (there are others using dial up as a fallback)

Earthlink quietly shut off dial up access in early 2024 (best I can tell).

Incredibly Juno and NetZero both still offer 10 free hours of dial up a month (and unlimited subscriptions).

@isleofeigg Sounds to be like you're leading the way to #netzero. You'd be an interesting study. I suspect that for most of the world, there's a lot of low hanging fruit that means it's relatively cheap and easy to get to ~90% renewable power with a good spread of solar, hydro and wind with storage to fill in the regular short term gaps. But the last few percent is diminishing returns. At that point, should the focus be reducing fossil fuel use in other energy hungry sectors?

There are four solar panels feeding the IT battery system, which has cancelled the entire house load (even the antifa torrent server is running on this!). Meanwhile the other panels are blasting my utility meter backwards and building a credit for winter 😆
