Same building?
As long as you check in on him and he knows he can come over I’d say it sounds great! - Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
After reading your other responses in this thread it sounds like your culture is vastly different from mine.
The fact that you mention providing alternate housing for an ex, that would be her own responsibility where I’m from, and the fact that you decided to still live together while seeing others are plain weird to me.
I’d say a first step would be to have them meet each other with you there and then having brunch or something on their own. If either can’t stand the other then it’s not gonna work after all. - Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I meant that every household has their own thoughts on how the chores should be done. Compromising with a loved one is usually a hell of a lot simpler than your ex-husbands new girl or your boyfriends ex-wife.

I would say you’d better off looking for a new place with space for the kids, having the ex-wife and gf fight over cleaning/washing/household routines sound like a recipe for chaos.
- Comment on Valheim: Call To Arms major update announced with new combat mechanics and lots of new items 5 days ago:
It does sound like combat will be better, finally being able to fight in slopes without mods is a big bonus.
New Mechanics:
[…]- New skill: Perfect Dodge Roll (Dodge an attack that would have caused you damage and get a % of stamina back)
[…]
Combat Changes:
- Perfect Block no longer cost stamina
- Reduced movement speed penalty on Battleaxes, Sledgehammers, and Tower Shields
- Vertical fighting improvements, now easier to hit enemies in slopes!

Ah, so what Rimu calls an alt/sockpuppet account that automatically votes on their behalf.
I haven’t seen the Matrix chat but having a dev look for feedback and then implement changes based on feedback received isn’t “forum politics” in my world.Good luck with your fork!

I don’t mind public votes, I do wish lemmy did a better job of showing that they are public though.

According to the NHS the islands are still pretty safe when it comes to TBE.

Then we’re two. I gotta get the potato out of the ground soon.
Re: Ticks - If you’re in Europe get the TBE Vaccine!
If you’ve been in the forest or tall grass check for ticks. If you got bit check the bite, if it gets a circle with a dot (a bull’s eye) seek treatment straight away. Early treatment is key when it comes to Lyme disease and that bull’s eye is the early indicator.
TBE however got no treatment. The vaccine is an effective way to avoid infection. - Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 2 weeks ago:
My frustration with Spotify is based not in price but that they’re choosing to shaft indie artists and new young artists.
…spotify.com/…/track-monetization-eligibility/
The 0.5% of royalties that they redirect to those with more plays is often 100% of the royalties for the little guy being stolen from.
The artificial tracks they wanna combat? I imagine they will surf by pleasantly with 1000-3000 plays over the last 12 months with a wider variety of bot accounts listening to ensure they reach enough unique listeners.While it is essentially nothing (in monetary value) they still rob the teenage punk band that sounds awful of their first royalty dollar.

I’d dare say lemmy creators wouldn’t mind private votes, they chose not to dispolasy voting counts to normal users after all, but that’s not how the ActivityPub protocol is built and honestly can’t be built if you want federated votes.

user ip adresses are not federated, only the lemmy.today admin can find your ip

Even if sites like lemmyvotes disappear and software like kbin/mbin starts hiding the votes all you need to do is to spin up your own lemmy server. Piefeds dev is actively trying to find anway to obsvcure voting, but I think that ended with the choice of public (federated) vote or private (instance-only) voting.
I agree that the public nature of votes could be made more apparent, but the lemmy devs has decided against that

- Comment on Question about storage 5 weeks ago:
That’s partly why I recommend an integrated N100, it’s a 6W, 4 core cpu:
liliputing.com/the-asus-prime-n100i-d-d4-is-a-com…HDDs at 16TB goes for 5-6W in idle and around 10W when in use, but that’s the same whether it’s diy or not.
- Comment on Question about storage 5 weeks ago:
While their latest adventures into trying to force people into buying their branded hdds sucks I must say I really enjoy using Synology NAS as a storage location and their Hyper Backup software works great with rotating usb drives (setup one task per disk and disable notifications on the task if the usb drive is disconnected).
I found a Synology became a lot more responsive when I installed an extra 16GB of RAM (Crucial 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 SODIMM CT16G4SFRA32A works in both Synology DS224+ and DS443+)If I were to build a new storage solution at home today I would look at ZFS-2 and 5 large HDDs (probably 16TB drives)

I’d put it in a Jonsbo N2 or similar case and combine it with an M-ITX Intel N100 integrated motherboard and a PCIe SATA Expansion Card.
Then I would continue to run two devices and have most services run on another device using the Jonsbo N2 primarily as a storage device. If you don’t need to transcode 4k Blu-Ray or something then the N100 is fully capable of hosting a Jellyfin server. - Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 5 weeks ago:
With the new sustainability laws in EU they have to offer 5 years of updates from the sale of their last unit.
The Ecodesign Regulation lays out minimum requirements for mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets to be sold on the EU market to ensure
- greater resistance to drops, scratches, dust and water
- use of more durable batteries, capable of at least 800 charge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their initial capacity
- clear rules on disassembly and repair, requiring manufacturers to supply key spare parts within 5-10 working days, and for at least 7 years after the product model is no longer sold in the EU
- longer availability of operating system updates, at least 5 years from the date the last unit model is sold
- fair access for professional repairers to the software or firmware needed for repairs
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 1 month ago:
They mention standardisations and cost savings in their paper, as well as solving the heat load per cell problem by decreasing cell size. They also mention that there’s been a lot of micro-CPV module designs but that they haven’t been scaled up. Some quotes below:
Various researchers and developers have been exploring different micro-CPV module designs [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Most approaches have been tested on small prototypes or minimodules, while fewer have been realized with aperture areas (Aap) above 200 and 800 cm2,[…]
By decreasing the sizes of the primary optics and the solar cells, the heat load per cell is minimized. This reduction allows for sufficient heat spreading via the circuit board, enabling the direct assembly of solar cells onto the circuit board on glass.
At Fraunhofer ISE, we have developed a micro-CPV module concept [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], which is based on parallelized manufacturing processes and commercially available components.
The final module features a panel size of 24” × 18”, which is a standard in the microelectronics industry, facilitating machine adaption without necessitating special adjustments.

What are concentrating photovoltaics? One of the ways to increase the output from the photovoltaic systems is to supply concentrated light onto the PV cells. This can be done by using optical light collectors, such as lenses or mirrors. The PV systems that use concentrated light are called concentrating photovoltaics (CPV). The CPV collect light from a larger area and concentrate it to a smaller area solar cell. This is illustrated in Figure 5.1.
ImageAlso, from the article - 33.6% efficiency in real-world conditions:
A 60 cell-lens prototype was studied for a year. In “real-world” conditions, CPVs achieved up to 33.6% efficiency. The 36% mark was posted at 167 degrees Fahrenheit. The prototype showed no signs of degradation, according to IE.

Yeah, if the user can’t verify the truthfulness of the LLM generated text then it has no use as it can’t be trusted.
I’d say the thing LLM is best at for me is giving me a starting point, in the same way that it is easier to fix someone else’s writing than it is to write something from a blank slate.
