I got an older version of one of these and put some opensource software on it. I did proxmox cause it runs a bunch of stuff, not just nas stuff.

I think this is a technology demonstrator. They’re figuring out the answers to the exact questions you are asking. This was the first test of putting it up, getting the power down properly, and then bringing the system back down. Following one of the links inside that article shows that they’ve previously tested the mechanical design out in the desert to test deployment, station keeping, and retrieval under high winds. As for cost, I’m sure they did analysis and have some use cases where they can compete, though I doubt that it’s in urban areas because it’s gonna have to be pretty far from airports and houses in “drop in on” range

Ya it’s wild what a boon having an extra block of time to oneself is. Some friends are looking for new jobs and we were chatting, but i couldn’t figure out how much better the pay would have to be to get me back to 5 days a week if I tried to get a new job.

Yep, i earn PTO hours as well, and i use less of it for random doctors appts and other “stuff that’s only open during work hours” so I have more for like, around Christmas/newyears or trips

I work in a billable hours type job, and thus took a pay cut when dropping to 90% but it gives me one full day off every two weeks, and it has been great. I have a day that is mine. I resolved not to do any recurring tasks on that day (no mowing the lawn or doing the groceries or stuff like that) so that it stays a day for me to do something interesting and new, or just hang around and decompress in a coffee shop somewhere. Very much reccomend.

I wonder how it compares in size to a traditional windmill of similar power, and how densely they hope to pack them (units per acre). I bet you can barely notice it 2 km away even though it’s almost 200 feet long

It’ll be more like ordering a Chinese “first person RC car” then grabbing a conversion kit. this company newbeedrone currently sells a drone, and a kit to convert it to a car

But instead they will reverse it. You get a cart, and they sell you a $20 drone conversion kit personal fan add on

What are you trying to accomplish with the Pi0-2w? Have you looked into DietPi?

We’ve tried nothing and we’re all our of ideas!

Gtfo, if you want to eliminate crunch, just don’t have them work more than 40 hours. It’s easy accept that youre gonna miss some deadlines, cause you fucked up the planning. Promise your workers triple pay during OT and suddenly the middle managers ain’t as motivated to try to force unofficial OT

Wait until he learns that physics is just theoretical chemistry

The video I saw was saying cat into grep is totally fine in day to day life do whatever comes out of your fingertips naturally, but if you’re making a bash script for others to use, use grep args because cat pipe grep can do some strange stuff with error handling. Which I have no experience with, but sounds reasonable

I agree with that first quoted person that “the cost of proper cybersecurity is not $0 and that means small business have more costs” but I’m not sure I see how lawmakers are going to make cybersecurity easier for small businesses. I guess they could give Microsoft a bunch of money to provide discounted malware protection? That’s the terrible idea assume they’re going to go with, but realistically, how can you possibly secure 80,000 small businesses’ IT networks without the business incurring some expense?

There’s no rules across instances, votes are whatever you want them to be. Either yes this is good/right/ilikeit/peopleshouldseeit or no it’s wrong/spam/misinformation/wrongcomm/idontlikeit/idontlikeyou/ithurtmyfeelings.

Down votes could easily be for the source, Marques has done some questionable stuff, or the format since it’s just a summary, or the community someone doesn’t feel like it belongs in this community.

Pretty neat, I wonder how it plans the movement and maksure it doesn’t clothesline the car on something. Maybe the facility would need mounted sensors like valve lighthouses? Seems hard to know that the car roof won’t scrape or anything if all the sensors are down in the skateboard

Wow, what year is that picture from, McDonald’s with a playplace?! We wish things were as nice as they were then

Importantly, they’ve given you a whole months notice. Figure out what happens with your PL (are you unlimited? Then make sure to take the max time your manager will allow, if not figure out if it gets paid out), two, don’t let them terminate you early, try to still be employed by the 1st of Jan, it helps with health insurance sticking around a little longer, and third, figure out what’s going on with severance. Potentially it’s in your favor to tell them you WILL come in, then no-show, rather than say you won’t and get laid off next week.

Finally: you got plenty of employable skills and people are hiring. To help do these 2 things: if you’ve got employee reviews from the past few years, email those to your personal email cause it might have accomplishments in it, 2) get a copy of the job description for your position, whatever skills it lists, you have em already, or they wouldn’t have hired you!

I suspect the added cost/environmental cost of adding a slightly more complicated setup than panel <-> fixed resistor, such as an mppt would be a worthy tradeoff.

I understand the point of the blog is to reduce the inputs to simplify, especially in eschewing batteries, but I suspect the loss in efficiency of not tracking the max power point would be significant.

I do like the concept though, in terms of shifting heat from daytime to later in the day, and localizing it into a box, rather than heating your whole house. It feels like the kind of thing you would put in your bedroom to help keep it warm into the evening.

There’s a couple online if you look around, but they’re all pretty small: Opire.dev oss.issuehunt.io/issues Boss.dev/issues/open And probably dozens more

And as a cautionary tale, look what happened to bountysource
