Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Tire dust, absolutely. Probably even more than ICE cars since EV's are heavier.
But brakes? Yeah no. To get the most range out of your EV you always want to slow down by recuperating/regenerating. The classic brake only gets used at (near) standstill or the occasional hard braking for collision avoidance.
Regardless of the sponsorship in this video, SuperfastMatt's videos are awesome. Really interesting projects delivered with great humor.
I like that they translated the signature
You can boot a live-usb, mount the remaining drive(s) and nixos-enter over like you would if you were installing NixOS for the first time.
This allows you to make changes and build a new generation using the network connection of the live-usb.
There are some experimental models made specifically for use with Home Assistant, for example home-llm.
Even though they are tiny 1-3B I've found them to work much better than even 14B general purpose models. Obviously they suck for general purpose questions just by their size alone.
That being said they're still LLMs. I like to keep the "prefer handling commands locally" option turned on and only use the LLM as a fallback.
Thats what I've been using as well. On some of my cards it has some weird layout bugs (only on some viewing devices) which annoy me.
What card are you using for your room overviews?
I've done the same. I put on a single layer of clear coat and it has been perfectly water tight.
The game "Deep Rock Galactic"
Space dwarves (solo or co-op) mining in procedurally generated caves while getting bugged by the local fauna.
There are a few different mission types, four unique classes and a vast weapon upgrade system to explore.
Also features the best (non-voip) communication system ever.
Highly recommend. Rock and Stone!
To expand: Just configure whatever profile you're using (dev
, release
, ...) to have link time optimization (lto) enabled:
toml
[profile.release] lto = "fat"
I've had this exact same gripe and can thankfully report that running EarlyOOM has fixed this for me.
Mostly its really fucking expensive. Usual applications are central control of heating and window blinds in large office buildings.
Part of what drives the price is that ideally it's all hard wired.
Opening the app for the first time on my Fairphone 5 (listed as unsupported) actually crashed the OS, but after that it seems to be working ok.
Closing out of the in-app gallery causes the app to crash. But that can easily be worked around by using some other gallery app.
I'll be testing it for a bit to see how it fares against other HDR methods...
I feel like this could end in the relevant xkcd way. (Yes its Standards)
Erbarmen - zu spät - die Hesse komme!
And please don't understand this the wrong way.
Ibis seems like a really cool project but with it being roughly half a year old me and many other people here simply have never heard of it before.
Including even a single short sentence describing what Ibis is in this and future posts helps us find projects that we care about more easily.
And we obviously care about Rust projects, otherwise none of us would be here.
Ibis is a federated online encyclopedia similar to Wikipedia.
This should be the first sentence of the post body.
Why not set up backups for the Proxmox VM and be done with it?
Also makes it easy to add offsite backups via the Proxmox Backup Server in the future.
That's for a single one but at tens of MW even a bunch of satellites isn't going to get solar panels to produce an appreciable amount of power.
This video goes into the details of what kind of performance we can expect from the constellation

PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board
Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don't have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.
This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.
It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I've mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.
The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on J3
- J8
) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.
At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For main
