The reader I used to get the page count from, is set up to use the same font, font size, and margins for all ebooks. So the page count should be comparable between the two books.

But since you mentioned word count…

• My edition of The Hobbit has 96,923 words.
• My edition of The Fellowship of the Ring has 192,625 words.

So by word count, The Fellowship of the Ring is almost twice as long as The Hobbit.

Adding in the other books of the Lord of the Rings:

• The Two Towers: 157,065 words.
• The Return of the King: 210,618 words.

That brings the whole Lord of the Rings Trilogy to a total of 560,308 words. Meaning that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is 5.8 times longer than The Hobbit…

Looking at the extended edition run times of the movies, The Lord of the Rings trilogy runs for 10 hours and 26 minutes. The Hobbit trilogy runs for 7 hours and 52 minutes. So in movie form The Lord of the Rings in only 32% longer than The Hobbit.

So there’s 67 milliseconds of Lord of the Rings movie, per word from the books, where as there’s 292 milliseconds of The Hobbit movie, per word from the book. That’s 4.4 times as much movie runtime per word in The Hobbit, than in the Lord of the Rings… Which is quite thinly stretched…

My ebook of The Hobbit is 217 pages. My ebook of The Fellowship of the Ring is 377 pages.

So the first book of the LOTR trilogy is 73% longer than the whole Hobbit book.

According to the whois data, the site is registered to someone in Reykjavik, Iceland… Not that that necessarily is correct.

You are correct. And yes that is kinda the whole point of the distilled models.

32b is still distilled. The full one is 671b.

Interestingly the watermelon (and other plants) don’t quite eat the sunlight, but the chlorophyll in the plant uses the sunlight to get enough energy to steal the carbon atoms from the CO2 in the air. So your water melon is literally made out of thin air!

I’m sorry but I’m too lazy to dig up links to back up my claim. But you are correct in that electric vehicles pollute far more being produced than combustion engine cars, however the electric vehicles gain that back over it’s lifetime if your charge from mostly non-fossil sources. The figures I have read says that over the lifetime of a car, electrics output 70% less CO2 than combustion cars, and that includes the production of each of the cars.

When my dog was only about 1 year old, she stepped on a glass shard and cut up her paw. She needed stitches, so we went to the vet, and brought her favorite stuffed toy, which was a dog too.

The vet sewed her paw up, and bandaged the whole lower leg. And then proceeded to bandage up the stuffed dog too, so our dog would feel included.

Yeah, the leaf is notorious for not having proper battery thermal management, meaning it overheats when charging, which results in aggressive degradation. The small battery also means that you put many more full discharge-recharged cycles on the battery, which again accelerates degradation.

I bought an Hyundai Ioniq 5, with a 77.4 KWh battery, which is supposed to go 488 km (or 303 miles) of course it doesn’t quite in real life, but it seems to handle about 422 km on a full charge. That battery pack has a liquid coolant loop, and the car actively heats and cools the the battery pack to keep it’s temperature in the sweetspot, both when charging and driving. Additionally the car comes with a 8 year warranty on the battery pack, so if it loses more than 30% capacity, it will be a warranty replacement.

That being said, some of the people who bought a 2022 Ioniq 5 has tested their batteries now after 2 years of use, and even people who have almost exclusively fast charged the car are seeing less than 3% degradation over the 2 years of ownership.

Many other EVs come with 10 year warranties on the battery packs.

Tesla (which also have thermal management) has also publicised statistics that say that their vehicles have on average 12% degradation after driving 200.000 miles.

Nope, those steps are the steps needed to legally watch Netflix on Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon device, because Google has not officially released the widevine library for that platform

But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he’s paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p

My personal opinion is that soy milk tastes like grass… I’ve tried it in coffee, alone, on cereal, but I just can’t avoid feeling like someone dumped a handful of freshly cut grass in…

Almond is pretty good on it’s own, but in coffee it tastes like marzipan… It’s not bad, but not the taste I want in my coffee.

Oat is what tastes most like cow’s milk to me.

Are you familiar with the concept of a caffé latte?

• 1TB NVMe SSD
  • 512 MB EFI
  • BTRFS partition for / filling up the rest
• Ancient 128 GB SATA SSD
  • Swap
• 1TB SATA SSD
  • 500 GB Windows installation for VR games
  • 500 GB BTRFS partition mounted at /mnt/games

Since both my root and home are on the same BTRFS partition they share space.

I have made sure to create sub volumes for the Steam and Game install directories, to avoid taking snapshots of them.

Steam has 2 “libraries” registered, one in my home directory and one in /mnt/games

I think he is referring to LVM

Agreed, and this is what I have set up for mine… But this is also technologically so far out of reach for >95% of people…

Are you profiting from running systemd?

Ghost in the Shell is rapidly becoming a documentary.

My home-assistant installation alone is too much for my Raspberry Pi 3. It depends entirely on how much data it’s processing and needing to keep in memory.

Octoprint needs to respond in a timely manner, so you will want to have the system mostly idle (at least below 60 percent CPU at all times), preferably octoprint should be the only thing running on the system unless it’s rather powerful.

If I were you, I would install octoprint exclusively on your Raspberry Pi 3, and then buy a Raspberry Pi 4 for the other services.

I’m running Pi-hole and a wireguard VPN on an old Raspberry Pi 2, which is perfectly fine if you are not expecting gigabit speeds on the VPN.

As a Software Engineer, I ask myself that question several times per day.
