I need lemmy.ml admin help with a potential bug
Hi there!
I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but I don't know what place would be better.
Quick background: I made lemmy.ml/c/freecad quite a while ago, as well as a couple of other communities here. I am the only mod. At one point I moved over to slrpnk.net/u/zksmk. I transferred my ownership of these communities to my new slrpnk.net/u/zksmk account and unmodded myself (lemmy.ml/u/zksmk) from these communities. There were no issues.
The communities were sleepy and/or well behaved until now, so I did basically nothing until now. However, considering FreeCAD, the software, just did a long anticipated logo change, I wanted to change the community icon. This is where the issues happened.
The problem: I change the icon on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected], it goes fine, but after a while, instead of the lemmy.ml/c/freecad icon getting updated with the new one, the opposite happens, and the new icon on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected] gets rewritten back to the old

"Half" is stretching it. More like a slice: UK, Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain and a slice of France.

Optimized compact stellarator with only 4 simple coils | Cambridge, 23 May 2022
An optimized compact stellarator with four simple coils is obtained from direct optimization via a coil shape. The new stellarator consists of two interlocking coils and two vertical field coils similar to those of the Columbia Non-neutral Torus (CNT) (Pedersen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 88, 2002, pp. 205002). The optimized configuration has a global magnetic well and a low helical ripple level comparable to that of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) (Wolf et al., Nucl. Fusion, vol. 57, 2017, pp. 102020). The two interlocking coils have a smooth three-dimensional shape much simpler than those of advanced stellarators such as W7-X. This result opens up possibilities of future stellarator reactors with simplified coils.

Fusion reactors could generate more power thanks to a reworking of Greenwald's Law.
Fusion reactors could generate more power thanks to a reworking of Greenwald's Law.
The research, led by physicists from the Swiss Plasma Center at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EFPL), has determined that the maximum hydrogen fuel density is about twice the “Greenwald Limit” – an estimate derived from experiments more than 30 years ago.
A study about the discovery was published May 6 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
How To Do Hard Things
A founder explores his journey with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
"The framework is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and even though it's backed by 800+ randomized controlled studies, it is relatively unknown outside of therapy circles. This post explains the basics of ACT, how it impacted my life, and how you can begin to apply it too."
Not a single sentence in the article of how this actually works. I found the original progress from 2017 and newer research and the newest stuff that caused the article. Plus the full thing.
The main benefit compared to photovoltaic cells plus classic batteries appears to be the fact that one chemical, a liquid, does both the energy absorption from the sun and serves as the storage medium. And it's long term storage. Also easy to transport.
It works based on a specially designed molecule that changes shape when it comes into contact with sunlight, storing energy. And that energy is later released at any point in time as heat by running the chemical through a catalyst, and converted into electricity in a small chip-scale thing.
Obviously, this is still early research, long way until it's a freely available and economically viable technology. Still great tho, looks promising. I wonder how much energy it packs per kg or liter.
