Anyone who genuinely thought that privacy was going to be perfect was an idiot. But they’re going to be better than Gmail and they are. The only way to achieve any type of true privacy would be to start up your own Data Center , run your own email , and then be the one that’s dealing with the government knocking on your door. Have fun with that.

Put frankly privacy on the internet does not exist and anyone that thinks it’s achievable on the modern internet is honestly an idiot. We can only select the least shitty option there is no good option. And the problem is even that is a moving Target I’m not going to keep changing my email provider every couple years to whatever the new current popular privacy option is.

All 3 users of systems that don’t support 64bit will be devastated. Once they finish loading the news anyway

That is definitely one of the crowds but there are also people like me that just are sick and tired of dealing with python, node, ruby depends. The install process for services has only continued to become increasingly more convoluted over the years. And then you show me an option where I can literally just slap down a compose.yml and hit “docker compose up - d” and be done? Fuck yeah I’m using that

Because they all use stealth bomber tech to hide them, duh. Idiots

That is true but to be quite honest even the people that don’t have LEDs are blinding me when they are at an incline to me. In either situation I’m putting my hand up to try and block it out till they pass

Only done poorly, which sadly is most cars, even new. They are aimed too fucking high. Headlights are meant to be aimed down at the damn road. Not up high for far reach. That’s the point of highbeams.

I got projector leds for my car but i properly aimed them, the light has a sharp hard cutoff juuuuust below the windshield on Most sedans at distance to make sure I don’t blind em. If i need more and it’s safe I’ve got my highbeams which turn the road in even the darkest rural to noon.

Downloading the torrent so i can seed it on 2.5Gb fiber

Also WA state, I saw the writing on the wall years ago and started investing to get as offgrid as i could. I’m entirely electric independent with solar and battery now, switched everything to as efficient as i could sources (heatpump on anything i can like hot water) working on rainwater collection and filtering atm. Have the filtering and just using it on the city water just need to setup the collection of rainwater

Vibe coding is useful for super basic bash scripting and that’s about it. Even that it will mess up but usually in a suler easily fixed way

I could just barely get the tip when i was younger but quickly lost that flexibility as i aged

It’s not like it can’t happen, i also found porn very early on. I got addicted and it ruined my early sex life. Real women weren’t “exciting” anymore and I’d lost my sensitivity as well.

This is NOT the solution but it’s also not not an issue

Lifepo4 is pretty much the one type you can safely leave unattended, it’s very very hard to get them to burn and even when they do it’s mostly smoke. Lithium is the big flame/boom one. The trade off is less energy density compared with lithium but for home storage thats less of an issue. The batteries i shared even feature fire suppression systems (basically an automatically deployed fire ratardant foam internally) for additional protection.

Building a little box of insulation around the batteries using some foam board panels and a water heater blanket with some water pipe heating tape you can get at most hardware stores would be the cheap easy way and should help with the colder month temps. And is easily picked uo and set aside in warmer weather

Because it’s seen as a primary factor in the “male loneliest” issue. Not only are we trying to get noticed in a sea of options but now we have to fight it being assumed we are just gonna molest them which making meeting people and trying to get connect extremely difficult. Frustration turns that into a crash out about how your not like that

Those I don’t mind. Smartcar has a wheelbase shorter than i am tall it takes corners like they don’t exist lol

I can highly recommend These batteries for home level power i have 6 of them and they make my offgrid life possible. Rated for 6000 deep discharges (or 16 years of literally daily deep discharge) they have a standard charge range of 5°C to 70°C naturally if you are in a cold latitude an even mildly insulted shed would be ideal to justify stay above that 5c mark.

If your sun is limited especially in winter consider giving east/west vertical panel orientation a shot. And that same site with the batteries has great deals on palettes of solar panels if you just need more in general.

If you aren’t already using 48V for inverters make the switch, much more efficient and long term cheaper. Put your panels into as large of a series string as your inverter will allow before parallel. Higher voltage incurs less resistance losses and it can be a pretty significant loss. Had an inverter die on me and had to drop to an older inverter while waiting for the replacement. It didn’t support the higher voltage as the newer one so had to drop from 320v to 80v ( from one string of 8 to pairs of 2 in parallel) ended up losing almost a full 1kW of peak potential

Tell him the NEW homestead way is better. Solar panels, lifepo4 batteries, electric chainsaw, heatpump primary wood burn auxiliary if you live somewhere it gets well below freezing.

Before anyone says anything solar still works on a cloudy day it just makes less, that’s why you size your array to make what you need when it’s cloudy not when it’s sunny. Summer can just have an over abundance of power nothing wrong with that

Please no, i drive a smart car not a tank with wheels. Even under speed those are jarring i fuckin hate the roads that are lined with them.

Yes but that doesn’t mean it’s a far left topic. This is the problem in politics nobody has the ability to understand that even an individual political system is an entire political Spectrum onto its own. Be it right or left.

I get the joke, but rust is actually pretty heavily used in the backend of services theae days. Cloudflare, Amazon, Dropbox, just to randomly name a few off the top my head. Have pretty heavily invested it into their back ends for more reliable service.
