Sure, highly theorical:

When combining the different capabilities, power variations of up to 10,000 MW could be absorbed by German NPPs in 2010. In France, with an average of 2 reactors out of 3 available for load variations, the overall power adjustment capacity of the nuclear fleet equates to 21,000 MW (i.e. equivalent to the output of 21 reactors) in less than 30 minutes.

Of course they don't use it unless force to, as the article states it's cheaper to ramp down fossil fuels than nuclear. And this is a benefit, not a problem. But its also cheaper to ramp down nuclear than renewables, and this is also a benefit.

Nuclear and renewables are a better match than fossil and renewables, and right now we are doing fossil and renewables. We've been decades asking for no nuclear in the hopes of getting only renewables and we've gotten fossil and renewables.

No, already existing nuclear plants can regulate, as it's needed for places with lots of nuclear power like France.

New nuclear plants can be regulated without problems. Old nuclear plants weren't designated that way, although they can be improved to be able to do it, but this isn't usually done as old plants will most likely be shutdown in the short term and investors don't want to spend any money in them.

Sure, for nuclear to help not reach the 1.5°C threshold it should have been built decades ago.

For nuclear to help not reach the 2°C threshold it can be built now. But surely in a few decades it will also take too long to build.

Right now there are new fossil fuel plants being built, I think nuclear is a better alternative than that.

You can use telegram integration to do that. Link.

I think there's no middle ground when the answer is isolation instead of trying to integrate foreigners into the local culture.

That's called xenophobia.

There are options. Some IOT things are even DIY with open specifications and open firmware, so you can build and repair them yourself. And a lot of times it's the cheapest option, way way way cheaper than the usual IOT stuff, as most electronics used for IOT are dirt cheap.

IOT can work without any cloud service. I have some things automated at home and everything works locally. To control it remotely I use a VPN.

I went through the same and ended with netim.com for domains, deSEC.io for DNS and soverin.net for email.

Qobuz has a lot of DRM-free high-res music.
