How? Mind you that gasoline is 2€/litre here and electricity costs next to nothing.
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 week ago:
I pay 0€ for gas all year long, electricity is currently 0,0187€/kWh
The money I save from that equation easily pays for a rental twice a year.
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 week ago:
I have a similar situation and I just rent a car for those twice a year trips 🤷 Still cheaper than paying for gas
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 week ago:
Range extender hybrids are the goat
The combustion engine can always run at optimal rpm for torque and the drivetrain is 100% electric
A LOT simpler to construct too, it’s basically an EV with a built in generator
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 week ago:
The best argument against the blackout bit: Ukraine
Every single used budget EV was bought up by Ukrainians when the war started. Nissan Leafs, older Hyundai Ioniqs, Renault Zoes
Gas stations were bombed and the whole logistic chain for delivering gasoline and diesel was disrupted or prioritised for the military
But everyone had power at least for a part of the day, so they could charge EVs.

A few diesels in theory if you drive economically

My dream car is one of those UN spec Toyota Land Cruisers that can run on any dirt water that resembles diesel

They don’t meet any emissions requirements though so they’re fully illegal in any western countries 😅

They also have the worst of both worlds shoved together

Shitty CI system
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 2 weeks ago:
It’s literally a Raspberry pi 3B+ and a USB hard drive in a plastic storage box at my parents house 😅
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 2 weeks ago:
So you’re saying they’ll Epstein him?
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 2 weeks ago:
A second offsite NAS (my old one) with the same capacity for the larger files
Backblaze B2 and a Hezner storage box for Really Important stuff.
- Comment on The Physics of Data Centers in Space 2 weeks ago:
People don’t read enough hard sci-fi, in a realistic space battle you use missiles and other projectiles because they don’t heat up your ship
If you have any kind of laser crap, you need to dissipate the heat and that requires surface area
And that surface area is an easy target for your enemy’s kinetics… take out the cooling system and everyone is cooked alive. Nice.
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 2 weeks ago:
DVDs are fine, but the subtitles look god-awful - and they’re bitmaps so there is no easy way to make them not suck
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 2 weeks ago:
My Matrix DVD I bought brand new still works just fine.
But rot is real, but also highly situational
- Comment on Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't. 2 weeks ago:
My point was that the frequency of updates doesn’t correlate with quality at all
- Comment on Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't. 2 weeks ago:
The huntarr project released a new docker image 3 times a day…

And then the US pro-Israel lobby call their senators who inform that if Mr Caller still wants to be employed in a few days, the guns need to keep flowing.

What would that phone call entail?
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 4 weeks ago:
They should use some of the funds for UX.
For gods sakes copy the Discord UI EXAXTLY and replicate the backend with Matrix. That’s it.
Not whatever they’re doing now.
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
It’s a weird money circle where companies spend money they don’t have for products that don’t exist and the money just goes round and round.
At some point someone will come asking about where the money actually is.
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
I’m sorry if my comment came across as supporting OpenAI. That was definitely not my intention 😆
Point was that they’re spending trillions and crashing the PC parts market and still firmly in the second place
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
OpenAI is the one doing 800 billion dollar deals and buying all the memory in the world
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
The model (sonnet, opus, gpt) is the engine, the framework (copilot, Claude, codex) is the rest of the car
If you put a V8 Hemi in a shitbox, it’s still a shitbox.
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
They’re all objectively shit.
Even with Opus in the backend Copilot is so bad compared to Claude code
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
Intellisense can review a 1000 line PR?
