They often talk about to 80% production rate but that isn’t where it ends. A panel installed 50 years ago that produces 50% of its power is perfectly usable and still in use and is only worth replacing if its economically sound to do so. They don’t just fail.
31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn’t using.
I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren’t that heavy.
I reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.
The docks need to start providing cooling fins and maybe even active cooling for the concept to work. The phones themselves just can’t cool this usage pattern they would be too bulky.
The minimum price agreed of £91.20 per MWh is a 9.12p a KWh. That is kind of high the typical wholesale price at the moment is lower than that and Solar typically comes in at more like £50 a MWh in the UK. The prior deals were at £50 and £70 so this is quite an increase in guaranteed minimum pricing. I am not so sure this is a good idea at this price, its not going to be reducing bills.
Its small enough numbers that its symbolic for defence, but attacking so many countries militaries will be an act of war against the EU and draw all of NATO and the EU into a war. Multiple countries in this are also nuclear powers. I really wish the USA would see sense, but its fallen to fascist rule and once again fascism is bringing enormous wars to the world and this one is going to be much deadlier than those previous. Lets hope the orangutan decides its not worth it like he has with Iran.
This generations morale panic. It was games then before that TV and before that music, all apparently corrupting our children to greatly they would never come out as functioning adults, except strangely no ban was required. Social media hysteria is all just the same thing, the long list of inventions that the elderly didn’t understand and made bold claims about corruption of society that never came to pass. These things go a long way back and sometimes they are deadly (like witches) and sometimes just ridiculous (like short form stories).
The potential problem here is that the mouse model is based on the Amyloid theory of the disease, which this year was largely determined to be wrong after a series of major frauds were found in the research implicating Amyloid. This drug might still work since it seems to act on other aspects of the condition in the bloodwork but there is every chance this doesn’t work in practice.
They are talking hectares in this and it looks like the power density is below that of batteries, but its also cheaper per MWh.
A home long term battery makes a lot of sense, I have thought for a while something that goes from water and the air into methane or even liquid fuel would be highly beneficial as it could run from a generators through the winter and act for long term storage without requiring a turbine.
Because they weren’t invented in 1925? Any durability testing you do today is about assumptions where you accelerate the process for a year by heating it or exposing it to water or whatever will degrade it most to some factor above normal and then extrapolate. That extrapolation was wildly wrong with CDs and it could be with this medium too. Or it might last a lot longer. What they have not done is written to a bunch of them and stored them in a variety of ways for 100 years and concluded they last that long.
The only detail really is that at least 2 of the N machines you are using have to be on at the time so where ever a change was made is synced to another machine that is on and this continues so that you never end up booting a machine to use when nothing else with the latest files is available. This is where having a centralised low power machine is valuable and saves having a desktop or a laptop on when it doesn’t need to be.
I really wish the desktop version of the world had not become so marginalised as local programs are considerably better to use than websites, they are so much quicker, accessible and easier to use.
They haven’t completed their genocide yet, its going to continue until every last Palestinian is dead.
Making desktop applications has become a nightmare in anything but C or C# and that isn’t exactly a language people really want to be programming in these days. That is a big part of the problem there aren’t good GUI bindings for a lot of languages and most programmers nowadays have been building websites and working with GUI APIs is a huge step back.
Everyone is preferring server/web solutions now as its easier to charge customers for it and keep it up to date and the knock on consequence is desktop app support isn’t great or considered important.
The outbreaks started under Biden. Vaccination and countering viral spread in general has been undermined by successive governments around the globe to get people back to work despite Covid still causing damage to a lot of people, including deaths, and the main causality has been public health.
This is where this all needs to go, swappable standard batteries like the 18650s being used and recharged in the device and replaced when the inevitable happens and they stop storing much charge. Batteries are consumable currently and devices without swappable ones are designed to fail within a few years.
The disaster is definitely going to be the thing that happens, because we have failed to act sufficiently for 50 years. There is no interest in most countries to do what is necessary at this point. Disaster is coming and sooner because climate change is accelerating every year.
I use a ZeroWater filter to get down to 0 Total Dissolved Solids and then third wave packets to reintroduce good minerals for coffee. Its still the case for me that this is cheaper than trying to buy distilled water or using distillation. Reverse osmosis is probably cheaper overall but a lot more initial outlay and it depends on how much water you need.
Brita and other similar small filters do a poor job of removing total dissolved solids (for me its the difference between 260 and 245 which is almost none removed) so they don’t change the situation for coffee extraction all that much
On the one hand they were talking selfhosting and then they pull out multiple $10s thousands rack servers. People don’t need a data centre at home to sync some files, pictures, email and play some media!
The primary smart parameters are passing but its a bit concerning that such a young drive is showing read error count, that isn’t a good sign even if its within the makers tolerance. What failed was just the long test you requested.
Its not uncommon for drives to fail in weird ways and the smart shows as fine. When you come across problems like a long test failing or occasional checksum problems on your raid array or a read error its a better indicator that something is wrong. Presumably something made you think you better run a long test, and then it failed. I would say Contact reseller for warranty replacement you have enough to go on showing there is something going wrong on the drive, long tests should not be failing on a healthy device.
Its a big problem. I also dump projects that don’t automatically migrate their own SQLite scehema’s requiring manual intervention. That is a terrible way to treat the customer, just update the file. Separate databases always run into versioning issues at some point and require manual intervention and data migration and its a massive waste of the users time.
