My EV sits in the driveway and soaks up excess production from my PV setup.
My main problem is it’s never really empty enough.

If I’m on the road, a high voltage DC charger gets me from 10% to 50% in about 10 minutes. Barely enough time for a coffee and a leak, then it’s another 2 hours of driving. Rinse, repeat.

Sure, you can’t barrel down the Autobahn for 10 hours straight without stopping but who wants that?

Depending on your level of caffeine tolerance/dependency actual coffee might be even better.

Alternatively: Decaf.

Not the only one.

Threema is decent, too. Crypto is comparable, and allows signups without email or phone number. It’s a paid app, though, but anonymous purchase options are available.

There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.

Should easily kill a week.

Is that a reference to Angleton?

Wow, that sounds like a decent start for an architecture.

I’m tempted to spin up a few Jellyfin instances to see how it might work…

JellyFed(eration) would be awesome. It should use an anonymous overlay network so federation is not limited to people you trust in copyright-zealous jurisdictions.

I didn’t know you could hear a picture so clearly.

Teenagers and a dog sound like Scooby Doo. No idea how specific the rest is.

That’s the equivalent of leaving the door open and hanging a sign “Internet over there” pointing at a wall.

Programs don’t need to respect those registry keys. If you’re worried about internet access, set up a firewall.

Also, if you’re worried about malware, the damage is probably done before anything connects to the internet.

Same universe as far as I’m concerned

Yeah there are multiple duplicates.

I’m hopeful that reencoding on the fly or even merging preencoded files into a single stream is too expensive because it needs a lot of compute power and invalidates caches .
