I would be wary of using a stainless steel RO system. Extremely pure water tends to leach more. You may avoid a bit of plastic in exchange for heavy metals. Stainless steel tends to be 10% Nickel, 10% Chromium, which are bad and worse for y

Is lying always a sin? A mortal one? I very much dislike lies, do not want to lie and would rather tell the truth even if it may harm me, but I'm not sure about the absoluteness of such an approach. A few days ago I was reading a book

While rsync is different than cp and mv, I dislike the cp and mv destination-state-dependent behaviour. With rsync, destination paths are defined by the command itself and the command is idempotent. I don't usually need to know what th

TLDR: feel free to skip When I was little, my mother tried to teach me how to tie my shoelaces, but she had shown me a method I did not understand and did not like, so I invented my own way. I was proud of it for 20 years or so. A friend I

There an additional trick - you can put include inside a Host/Match directive. # in ~/.ssh/config Host proj1.*.corp Include ~/.ssh/proj1.conf # in ~/.ssh/proj1.conf ... This way, I can pu

Note that the listed probabilities of surviving N-disk failures are not correct, though after calculation, though the differences may not be that important. Listed survival probability of N-disk failure in 8-drive/4-vdev mirror. 1: 1;

If we were to only compare survival after a fixed number of drives failed vs. storage efficiency, RAIDzN should always come out ahead in any configuration - with mirrors you can get unlucky drives choice fail, with RAIDzN any choice is a go

GPS doesn't send full time. It wraps every 1024 weeks, or about 20 years, hence you need a (very) rough basis in case the system is over 20 years old.

I'm not sure why people keep talking about teflon pans and dental floss. There are PFAS in products that necessarily release them into human bodies and the environment, in dispersed form rather than flakes that would usually pass the d

While I don't like proprietary firmware, I'm not sure if the line is drawn at a useful place. If you have firmware/software/whatever in a device, which is updateable (as opposed to mask-rom or hard logic), I'd muc

I really like the storj concept - distributed storage, local encryption. Comes from tahoe-lafs I believe, except you don't need to find 10 buddies. There is one main reason I don't use it besides web share: Despite being OSS, upli

Don't have experience, but I'd guess a buyer/renter won't see a difference between grades of paint quality, but a resistive vs. induction cooktop will be very noticeable and may raise the value far beyond the price diffe

Even in the four scriptures Jesus makes it pretty clear several times that the chosen people are first but they will refuse and salvation will be passed onto others. E.g. the address to Jews when he healed a (gentile) centurion's serva

I don't mind food sovereinty per se, but do we need to subsidize meat ? Lately, in the supermarket, there would usually be some meat at about 2€/kg, which I could not comprehend, as most other groceries have gone up. Pricewise it

When talking about a small polymer, I was mainly commenting on microscopic flakes and lakes laced with "chemically inert" molecules that have devastating physiological effects. Either way, what you claim is simply not true by any

Small chemically inert substances can gunk up your cells and tissues even if they are soft.

Is it more precisely: don't use PFOA or PFOS anymore, switching to less-proven-guilty chemicals with different lengths? Either way, my concerns are mostly: how much fluorinated waste they release from factories and what happens at the

I don't know about your experiences, but systemd is leaking preconceived notions and self-imposed limitations like a broken sieve where one is left to sift manually through documentation and bug-reports, collecting and evaluating rules

This is fusion. Different working principle, different composition - I would expect orders of magnitude less radioactive working materials.

Battery minerals are not an issue, as you say. I'm still worried about the electrolytes and stuff - not in scarcity, but eventual pollution. They don't typically advertise them and I have a hunch they are nasty stuff.

We will likely have sufficient battery storage where 1.5h would be acceptable though not quite ideal. It still requires quite a bit of storage, but its entirely doable for seasonal variations (the harder problem) and perhaps even daily cycl

IMO, iPhone SE is the perfect form factor and overall very good hardware (though you might want to go for more storage). Only reason I begrudgingly got a Pixel is the alternative OS availability.

As said, use some pipes and pumps to move it away. Don't forget to dilute (again, use pipes and pumps or whatever you prefer).

Why would you store it, instead of mixing it back in the sea? I guess you would need some pipes and pumps to move it away from your inlets, but that seems comparatively cheap.

I think those don't actually have any PV in them. I.e. concentrated solar to thermal then turbines for electricity.

I assume he is trying to establish a dividing line between acceptable and not. For example, I'd consider all mentioned uses to be unacceptable and hopefully illegal, but I think others may be fine with it.

I wish we could and I think we should. I'm just very sad we don't have safe hardware w.r.t. memory corruption via rowhammer and I don't think any of the typical formal methods or seL4 account for it. Safely running untrusted

If that is the height of his crimes, then it's no comparison to the extent US (or whomever) went to frame him for: sexual assault (coerced charges), fabricated hacking conspiracy (from a protected pedofile at that), or just about anyth

You wouldn't accept diamonds, it would reflect poorly on you. They are mostly a non-scarce fleecing operation backed by a marketing gimmick.
