- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 5 days ago:
Yeah, it does a good enough job of handling the metadata which is why I mentioned it. To find books you need a private tracker.
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 6 days ago:
No, it’s a hot mess. I only get 6 books a month and she is one and done so it’s manageable to do it manually
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 6 days ago:
Having to run two instances to support audio and text books was the deal breaker for me.
Now I use audiobookshelf, and it’s easy enough to find everything I need on mam without an extra search layer.
- Comment on Firefox 140 Brings Tab Unload, Custom Search & New ESR 1 week ago:
Probably more like AMD naming processors XP, moving to 3 digits to match Intel, and stuffing AI into the model name.
Hell, even the Linux kernel is not immune

I picked Rock Island County in Illinois, headquarters of John Deere. Search the last name Smith.
Rich people will often put their homes in shell corps or trusts that give some level of protection against this.
- Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26] 2 weeks ago:
It’s a neat conversion for EV charging. 7kw x 2.5 miles per kwh is 17.5 mph. Most EV onboard chargers top out at 11kw, 27.5 miles per hour. So from the battery’s perspective, 22kw is it’s normal discharge rate at 60mph.

My county lets you search property tax records by owner name. It is trivial to find someone.

Go to a junk yard and look around the import section. Without a front bumper, it can be very hard to tell what make a car is.
- Comment on If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s like 30% less heat input to melt cullet and you save raw materials. The problem is the quality impact. It’s a similar problem with paper recycling. Part of that is the fault of consumer preference, and I think that’s changing.

Some info on the challenges
- Comment on If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better? 4 weeks ago:
A 12 oz glass bottle takes roughly 1100 BTUs to melt the glass for. That is conveniently, roughly, 1.1 cubic ft of natural gas.
60,000 BTU/hr is a very common size for natural gas HVAC furnaces. That’s basically a bottle a minute, just to give people an idea.
There are other inputs of course, but furnace net efficiency is around 2200 BTU/lb

- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 4 weeks ago:
Maybe one day but for now it’s just green washed big oil
At present, however, just 2 per cent of the 600 billion cubic metres of hydrogen manufactured each year around the world is produced by water electrolysis, while 98 per cent is produced from natural gas, with carbon dioxide as a by-product.
More than 90 per cent of this hydrogen is used as a building block for fertilisers or is consumed within the oil, refining and wider petrochemicals industry.

- Comment on Wiring Check: Is the wiring correct? 1 month ago:
Those Shelly diagrams are confusing because it’s not clear that the diagram is the external connections. I’m used to seeing it the other way-
The SW looks an awful lot like a relay contact that is internally connected to line. Little harm wiring that wrong.
Here’s how it should be visualized
That O terminal looks like a coil that needs a L connection to energize it cause the other side is already connected to N, let’s put some power to it through my switch!

- Comment on Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water? 2 months ago:
You’d have heat exchangers, like a desalination plant
…wikipedia.org/…/Multi-stage_flash_distillation
Such plants can operate at 23–27 kWh/m3 (appr. 90 MJ/m3) of distilled water.[5]
So still impossible, but not unfathomable
