- Comment on How and where should I keep backups of system configurations? 3 weeks ago:
If you haven’t played with Pulumi (for configuring cloud services) and Ansible (for local services, shell commands, apt installs etc) you may enjoy them as a way to capture / re-apply configuration.
- Comment on Multiple Lemmy Accounts? 1 month ago:
How do you manage switching between accounts? I ideally just want one feed.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 1 month ago:
Steganography may be interesting in that vein. Hiding data within larger images / sound files etc.

Thanks!

Ah, that’s what that blue bull with yellow hair is.
some additional details
> Gargoyle - always spawns in orthogonally (vertically or horizontally) adjacent pairs And they always face each other. > Minotaur - a treasure chest always spawns in one of the 8 spaces surrounding him And they always face away from the chest, but turn towards it when you open the chest. > Dragon - Defeat it to end the game with a win. Defeat it to get 13 gold, pick up gold to reveal crown, pick up crown to end game. But if you’re trying to collect all the gold you can, it’s OK to defeat the dragon and keep going a little.

Fun, even works on Linux (Ubuntu) after turning on Proton for all games. I like the level-based design.
- Comment on Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again 2 months ago:
that discussion of topics that was more popular on Lemmy, like Linux, would drown out my other interests
I certainly run into that. I don’t think I have the energy for multiple accounts, but I wish I could ask for roughly equal numbers of posts from my top 4-5 communities, instead of News + WorldNews dominating everything.

Yeah that one’s a mystery to me. Sometimes disappears, sometimes gives you gold. I was wondering if it’s related to the blue bull in some way.

Having learned more about the patterns, I can see that I should have
explored more near the (hint)
6 since that’s a Minotaur ::: spoiler and there will be a (spoiler) chest by it.
So with the board state as it was I couldn’t necessarily have done better, but better strategy could have let me survive on the same initial board.
Still nowhere near the times some people are posting though.

- Comment on What is your self-hosting setup for home thermostat? 2 months ago:
I have ESP8266 WiFi modules running Tasmota firmware for a few parts of this. Some report temperature (and humidity just for fun), I like DS18B20 sensors better than SHT30s which seem to have a bit more self heating. Then I also have Mitsubishi mini split heat pumps for which there’s a Tasmota control library. MQTT for communication + HomeAssistant for UI + AppDaemon for automation scripts in Python.
Examples of the UI in HA:
- Comment on A new solar project in Brooklyn could offer a model for climate justice 3 months ago:
Households that subscribe to the solar array will receive about a 20 percent discount on their utility bills, resulting in a combined $1.24 million in savings over 25 years — money that could help defray the rising energy expenses that many families face. UPROSE said that the array is expected to cost at least $2.7 million to build, which the partners plan to finance through grants, loans, and tax credits from government and other sources.
Very cool!
- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 4 months ago:
Why is a utility interconnect for rooftop solar a big process, but balcony solar is just plug in? Simply a matter of scale / reduced risk of electrocuting line workers? No net meeting for balconies?
Adding solar so simply sounds great.

I would subscribe to his YouTube channel!
- Comment on Startup Alsym Energy, hopes its non-flammable lithium-free batteries can help decarbonize heavy industry 5 months ago:
Although the full makeup of Alsym’s battery is still under wraps as the company waits to be granted patents, one of Alsym’s electrodes is made mostly of manganese oxide while the other is primarily made of a metal oxide. The electrolyte is primarily water.
- Comment on BIOMES 5 months ago:
For 2023, the number of births with name River is 3084, which represents 0.168 percent of total male births in 2023.
Tundra is not in the top 1000 names for any year of birth beginning with 2020. Please enter another name.
Was looking them up at www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi but now “This website is temporarily unavailable,” did everyone have the same idea and it’s only resourced for 1qps?
- Comment on Seriously good cold-climate heat pumps are headed to the US market 5 months ago:
I have Hi2 heat pumps in a 100yo house with recently improved insulation, and it was just fine last year in -15F weather. No gas backup.
One family member has been taking to installers and they keep telling her to heat pumps can’t work reliably, it’s extremely frustrating.
