Chinese nuclear power output is 62GW, which means you'd need 12h*62GW for simplistic optimistic night worth of energy. Which is 744GWh. But realistically you have to look at worst case scenario during long winter nights and cloudy days. Which is a lot more storage required and less solar power output. And batteries get degraded over time, some malfunction etc.

We are annoyed only when it happens on our border, but support countries comiting war crimes and genocide otherwise.
It looks like that in Germany everything is a fair game when you are a pig or Palestinian.
I guess it depends on how you look at it - "It needs to be installed separately."
Sure, but it's not part of Forgejo, is it?
Since nobody mentioned it yet, Pixelfed.
I'd say Forgejo as it is the most simple of the three. If you want more complexity (like CI/CD), then one of the other two. You can checkout Forgejo at codeberg.org.
Let's see, a smaller nuclear power plant operates at 1GW, that means you'd need to store 12GWh per day (plus 12 of direct use) assuming half day solar doesn't yield, or more with cloudy days and long winter nights. Where do we have such energy storage?
They would certainly help, but there is more energy demand than just AC during the day.
They can't replace nuclear, at least not without insanely huge energy storage.
Modern bikes have the same type of equipment, just with lighter materials. I wonder how much does this one weight.

Nuclear power plants can run many decades at full power with adequate maintenance, even more so newer ones. Can the li-ion batteries though? Note that they'd be under stress each day. Perhaps with new/different battery tech, but that's yet to see how it pans out. As per China and batteries, perhaps, but that's yet to see how it turns out at the end. They also reverted from not building (many) coal power plants and they are increasingly building them again. So, it's complex. Also read "China Targets 180 Gigawatts of Battery Storage by end of 2027" which is far away from minimum required for getting rid of nuclear and coal.
