How? I can fit a raspberry pi and external ssd in my pocket. I cannot do that for a server. I could use a laptop, but simply plugging in a firestick to the hotel tv or a projector when camping is nicer.

how many can run on batteries? it's nice to take it on road trips / into hotels. can't really imagine hauling a server around. we probably have different definitions of "very little power".

I use mine for a plex server. I don't need to transcode + I need something I can leave on that draws little power. I have a powerful rig, but the one time I get to turn it off is when I'd need the media server lol. There's a

Care to share where you're pulling that information? 1. The amount of "orbit slots" is vast. There is plenty of room. 2. I'm unaware of any mega constellations planned >500km. Latency would be worse and doesn't m

It's impossible for VLEO constellations to create space junk. They naturally fall out of orbit after a few years. And no they can't be "blown into" GEO orbit.

I just found it interesting they think that the majority of Americans elected a candidate who supposedly ran on "authoritarian" ideals to be the leader of the free world. Don't you think that's a bit unbelievable? You

You need to expand on what you think is "authoritarian". Otherwise, a conversation can not be had. It's interesting you view that he ran on authoritarian ideals, yet still won the popular vote. Yes while populist leaders

I'm fully aware, but you seem to have misinterpreted what I was saying. If "all the clocks are wrong" it doesn't matter as long as they are consistent. (in the case of atomic clocks, frequency of energy transitions withi

by theultdev 1y ago
it doesn't matter? it's the average of multiple atomic clocks and that's the time we distribute. it's a human construct so whatever is agreed upon is correct.

I meant useful in general. It's slightly off topic, but I think many people overlook the fact they are just a bluetooth mesh network as well. Imagine one just as large as the airtag + iphone ecosystem but with messaging capabilities! W

Nothing revolutionary but I haven't seen one with this many features. Store and forward, E2EE, message compression, battery optimization, groups, permissions, etc. It's pretty feature packed tbh. I think that's where the news

A side note, airtags + iphones are effectively the largest bluetooth mesh network in the world, and they are quite useful even though only coordinates are sent.

Bluetooth mesh chats were quite popular and effective during the Hong Kong protests. Aside from protests, I'd also say they could be useful during festivals and other events where mobile networks can get quite congested. Eventually fra

I don't really see any need to take parental advice from a blog. Not going to give advice either as we all have our own methods, but it's more or less the opposite of what this person is saying. Doesn't mean letting them sit

hmm, well the jasmine I buy is extra sticky. maybe it's how it turns out in the rice cooker. either way, I've done it and it tastes good /shrug

by theultdev 1y ago
yes in fact, it is. relative to american rice. it's has a similar stickiness, the taste is a bit different, but better imo. it pairs well with asian dishes as opposed to american rices and can be used for sushi. it's not 1:1, but

haven't seen japonica often in the US, but jasmine rice is similar and available pretty much everywhere. in fact, jasmine rice smells and tastes better, and stickier!

not the same species! american white rice is only good when it's transformed into spanish rice, fried rice or creamy rice. otherwise it's too bland because it's stripped. brown rice is better but still not as good. both japon

You'd at best break even over the decade, that's not really a sound financial strategy. And many of these things, like heat pumps last twice that at best, so you have to account for depreciation. It's more economically sound

by theultdev 1y ago
I see. For others with existing systems, you'd have to save $333/mo to break even over 3 years assuming a $12k install. My combined gas and electric bills don't even reach $200/mo during peak months. I'd expect that

by theultdev 1y ago
How much did the entire heat pump installation cost? I assume in Canada you needed a geo-thermal loop. That runs about $30k avg, you'll break even in 10 years. Investing that money would prove financially better. Even a 2% low-risk inv

same reason people don't have A/Cs in some places. although you'll get heatwaves sometimes, it's not worth it overall. similarly, although these may be more efficient than what you already have, it costs money upfront to

This was beautifully constructed, and I wish you got a reply. I appreciate the effort.
