15·22 days ago1200 incoming + 1 hairdryer at the same time equals overloaded circuit though.
It is more than just the concern around back-feeding the grid. These simple balcony setups connect to your home grid via a single outlet. Most US outlets/circuits are 15 AMP or roughly 1500 watts max capacity. These single circuits can only carry that much current total at any one time so if you have it loaded up with incoming power AND use anything else on the circuit at the same time … no bueno. To make this setup work best/safely you would ideally want a dedicated circuit for it which is basically non-existent today.
The safety issues really do need to be addressed because the folks most likely to use these systems are apartment dwellers and I don’t think anyone wants to increase fire risk in these scenarios.
301·23 days agoNice to see the US government still supporting EVs these days.
I still think that EV rebates and tax credits would be more cost efficient and much less jarring than provoking Iran into destroying 20% of the world’s oil supply… but I guess that I am too simple-minded for politics.
Can I have 2 billion dollars to build UNIVERSE models?
If vibe-coding is wrecking Windows 11 and Office now … just wait until Windows 12 sees the light of day! Ohhh boy, will that ever be some infinite-monkeys-on-typewriters-shite!
I also like FauxPilot.
faux - adj - artificial or imitation; fake.
Not to* be confused with the OSS alternative, also named fauxpilot.
The war ends when Israel decides it is over since they clearly own our government, financial sector, our tech overlords and soon most of our news outlets. Considering that they’ve been at war with their neighbors for over 50 years I would not hold my breath.
We need improved Linux support for power management on ARM platforms. In general Linux on ARM has been good for a long time now. (ex RaspberryPi, Gentoo, Ubuntu)
Where things aren’t so great is the choice in OEMs putting out ARM parts like Broadcom, Qualcomm and Apple. All of whom aren’t exactly open source champions. In a less imperfect world we’d have something like RISC-V with great power management and linux support available in mobile computing SKUs/TDPs.
Just read the paper. ArsTechnica is such a terrible source for analysis on anything remotely technical.
2·1 month agoThanks for noticing that. I certainly missed the ‘=1’ bit.
Debian testing, then upgrade it as they make major releases. I have yet to have a single Debian upgrade go wrong on Desktop or Server. It is basically magic.
Assuming that:
- your Linux Laptop uses wlan0 for its wireless connection and your home network uses 192.168.1.x for IP space.
On the Linux laptop:
- as root or with sudo – enable IP forwarding and load the change with sysctl -p.
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 ## updated edit thanks to folks pointing out my typo.
sudo sysctl -p- if you have ufw installed and running – setup a NAT masquerading rule for any hosts forwarding IPv4 traffic to it.
add this line to /etc/ufw/before.rules file right after the “*nat” line
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1/24 -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
On the mac:
- set your IP address manually to be on the same LAN as the Linux laptop, but for the gateway address… point that at the IP for the Linux Laptop.
Endorphins, better blood oxygen capacity, much better sleep, eventually better stamina in everyday life … all very tangible benefits of daily exercise. You don’t need a gym or equipment either. Running, walking, burpees, crunches, push-ups, maybe a pull-up bar can take you pretty far on their own.
None of this will directly fix all of your problems but it can better equip you to deal with stuff. A diet that is mostly fruits and veggies helps a ton too but that’s a whole other discussion.
Codeberg does actively try to prevent bot scraping.
Is it easier to secure, monitor fewer, bigger reactors or thousands of* small ones? Accidents are still going to happen and I know which scenario makes more sense to me. Especially in light of Trump’s recent push to deregulate nuclear energy, kill the EPA, and pretty much any other kind of sensible management efforts of technology that is great until something goes wrong then it quickly becomes a multi-generational clusterfuck.
Solar, batteries and long-range transmission infrastructure just makes too much sense I guess.
The focus appears to be entirely on tariffs which have solely been a tool for Trump to extort various countries, they don’t seem to really stick around or stay very high for very long.
I have not heard the Feds say a word about the AI-bubble’s affects on the economy. Ignoring the great sucking effect that it has had on private and public capital as a whole, the RAM/storage price situation is going to show up in pretty much everything that needs a computer and I don’t see anyone at the Fed factoring that in. It will(and already has) hit everything from consumer PC/gaming/TV/SmartPhones but also Cloud providers, Automotive, Infrastructure technology. Remember that it is not just those who want to replace or upgrade old tech(these could wait in theory) but also applies to repairs for things that can’t wait.
If you cut rates now or too soon, asset(house) prices will sky rocket due to private capital (smart money) fleeing the AI-bubble and rushing into housing. Then you will have a situation that is somehow worse than the present.
I don’t really think that rate cuts will do anything to address AI-layoffs, offshoring of hundreds of thousands of good paying tech jobs and manufacturing jobs, or labor jobs that immigrants(illegal and ‘legal’ ones) have taken from the natives. We need sweeping policy reform to bring all of that work back. It will push wages up(and hopefully margins down) and least begin the process of undoing decades of wage dilution and price distortions.
Run XFCE and use Thunar. : )
