That sucks… So you’re housing them?
That might mean you can set a few ground rules for money saving.
- Comment on THE NEXT CLANKER BETTER DO MY GODDAMN DISHES 2 days ago:
Yes. They’re really underrated. They consume way less water than almost all humans dishwashing, less energy if the human uses warm water to do the dishes, and work better if they aren’t clogged.
Look up minutefood or technology connections about it on youtube
- Comment on US envoy criticises France's lack of action over antisemitism 3 days ago:
What any sane person should have gotten out of WW2 is that people shoudn’t be stigmatized or worse based on religion, sexual orientation, ethnic roots, opinions and more.
The fact that the stigmatized religion happens to be Jewish or Orthodox matters not, it’s the process that should instill fear in people: the arbitrarity of the ruler, the denial of science, othering of some convenient minority, all that to distract the public’s attention from real problems. (Inflation and unfair treaties for germany, state racism in the case of israel, deportations and disregard for the rule of law in the US, etc)

Anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism, this guy is bonkers.

- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
It was pretty good 10+ years ago I’d say, then it slowly got worse and worse
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had the same experience you did but didn’t feel like writing it all out. Thanks !
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
I’m familiar with it, I’ve ordered more than 100 items off aliexpress.
And I feel like the modern amazon experience got worse and is closer to the intense searching required to find the good stuff at the right price from aliexpress.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say aliexpress stuff is good, but rather that amazon stooped down to aliexpress-levels of quality, to which we got ourselves used to.

That’s ridiculous.
I write mine on paper in cursive so no one can use it anywhere

I think you may be mixing up git, which is a command line tool that’s still open source, AFAIK, with github that’s a closed source, git-based code hosting platform bought by Microsoft.
You can use other hosting services with git, and get an almost identical experience. Gitlab does it, as well as many others.

- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not because the dev is on their own that others can’t offer separate support.
One can acquire experience anyway offer to review the code of the solution upon noticing an error at a client that can be fixed with some google-fu.
- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
Just like most marketing selling points, it was a lie too.
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 4 weeks ago:
Using VLC is easy. Having good musical taste and finding the time to renew your library so it doesn’t grow stale is hard.
I know, I used to download all my stuff and now I just get YouTube music started on a piece I like and let it autoplay forever while I work, do a tabletop campaign, play videogames… I find that this way, I find the music it plays to be in the right mood 98% of the time.
It disgusts me to say it but it just works and saves me a lot of time.
- Comment on Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclear 1 month ago:
What’s the exclusion zone of rare earth mines ? Of the terrible chemicals required to extract those products ? Same question with the batteries. What’s the impact of the shade on agriculture ? How about all the steel, concrete and composites on the environment, how do they degrade ? Is it in micro plastics ?
I didn’t say nuclear energy was good, just that solar panels are worse. The perfect energy source doesn’t exist but currently all the data I’ve come across points to the direction that nuclear is significantly better than all other renewables and don’t require significant battery storage.
Also if anti-science ecologists hadn’t blocked so many fast neutron reactors, we’d be further along to a tech that can burn existing thorium stockpiles for 8000 years without further mining and while producing significantly less dangerous waste than current reactors. I guess we’ll just buy the design from China and Russia who didn’t stop the research and have currently operating reactors right now.

Even for offshore wind, you gotta add the necessary battery capacity for a reliable power grid…

I’m using table 1.
PV panels alone produce 43g/kWh, batteries 33.
Nuclear (light-water or pressurized) are at 12.
We’re talking complete life cycle analyses.
- Comment on Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclear 1 month ago:
This is still more polluting to mine than going nuclear, even accounting for nuclear waste.
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 1 month ago:
You’re right, although I’d be considering narrower cards and maybe blowers. This is a server build, not a main rig. So I’d get a GPU that’s as close as possible to a glorified encoder ad possible and pocket the power savings. I don’t have ac where I live…
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 1 month ago:
If going m-atx, there’d be enough pcie slots to get a cheap SFP+ 10G nic or better, tho…
I’ll look at the jonsbo stuff tho, thanks !
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 1 month ago:
If OP need compactness, maybe micro atx or mini itx could help.

I can’t wait for the match group to buy them and make them just shitty enough that the couples think they’ll vibe but won’t actually work out.

I’m a little jealous of you guys, but we have mostly maxed out our potential in Europe for hydro power already…

France has taken away electricity subventions a long time ago, they were temporary relief during COVID only.
In fact, there are pretty high taxes here too, just the base cost is lower.
And I started this debate to challenge the notion that all of Europe doesn’t have as unreasonable prices as Germany does.
