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.

Yeah, there’s tonnes of good content on there, but as you allude to, there’s even more shitty or zero effort content… And the algorithm has a way of serving up absolute trash. And the parental controls are pretty much non existent…

Youtube happily serves up videos to an 8 year old (on a supervised children’s account) that contain topics like abuse, sex, racism, horror, radical religious indoctrination, Chinese propaganda, and human centipede… This isn’t as rampant in the YouTube Kids app… But at least half the stuff on YouTube Kids is ASMR content or unboxing “surprise” toys…

YouTube allows you to block channels, but will happily continue serving the 9000 other accounts that simply reupload the same exact videos.

Yeah agreed… Now the cable takes up space in all three directions, where as if you just use a good old cable tie, it will mostly take up space in one direction…

I could see some point in using it to bundle up a bunch of cables under a table, so they are in one nice bundle and you can’t easily open the clip and take out one of the cables, but not for storage.

Docker for webdev? You know that Docker is server side right?

Open-source EVs are a bit like Gentoo, you have to build it yourself.

Awesome to hear, and good luck with it!

I just want to mention that there is a lot of configuration options in Tree Style Tab, so if it doesn’t behave exactly how you want it to, there’s a high likelihood that you just need to tweak the settings a bit.
