  • Another car maker banned from my life forever

  • Not really, they've all had telemetry for probably 20 years.

    The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn't saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)

  • Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.

    Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.

  • JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨

  • Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution

  • Excellent, thanks for the link!

  • Solar powered server rack

    Jump

  • I like your thoughts on runtime and recharge time.

    That four hour limit really outs things into perspective for someone just starting out. Most people don't understand the constraints at first.

  • I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I'm pretty sure it's solar.

    But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).

    It's not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).

    But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.

  • British girls outdrink boys — and most of Europe

    Jump

  • More than a third of 15-year-old girls in the UK have been drunk at least twice, compared with less than a quarter of boys the same age

    How was the study done? Is there an angle where girls are more likely to admit this/click on a button than boys? (Yes, studies should account for this kind of thing, but we know what "should" means).

    Interesting either way.

  • Anyone else struggling with not being able to stick to things long enough to fully enjoy them?

    Jump

  • that I really should finish

    That word "should" is a tricky little fella, he implies a judgement, the question is what's the source of that judgement?

    Wayne Dyer discusses the issues and challenges of words like "should" in his book "Your Erroneous Zones" by using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach: examining and rewriting how we think about things.

    When I find myself using that particular word, I ask myself "should, according to who?". Almost always I find I have an old "script" in my head about priorities, values, etc, that upon re-examining I find it's no longer useful. Like "I bought this game, therefore I must get maximum value from it".

    Sometimes things run their course, and that's that.

  • Perfect expression of "hey, dumbass, stop taking photos and do your damn job to get me out of this thing"

    Hahaha, awesome.

  • Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you've got a killer remote support solution.

    Weird people would downvote this. I usually don't care (still don't, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it's already been done.

  • Texas teenager accused of using poison to kill rival’s competition show goat

    Jump

  • it sounds like rivalry to me

    No shit? Like that wasn't patently obvious?

    What point are you trying to make? This girl is a psychopath.

  • Texas teenager accused of using poison to kill rival’s competition show goat

    Jump

  • She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.

  • Serverless runs on servers

    Jump

  • True.

    But one thing you control, the other you don't.

  • Serverless runs on servers

    Jump

  • It's why you hire someone else to do it, like a network consultancy.

  • Italy cracks down on self check-ins for short-term vacation rentals

    Jump

  • Yep.

    But I admit I'm one of them, though I also recognize it's not an easy thing to do well. Whenever something like this comes up for a vote in my area, it really takes me a while to figure out the pros/cons, long-term implications, who benefits, etc.

  • TIL that there is no strict definition of a continent

    Jump

  • I think it's one of those "technically" things, that isn't useful.

    Someone from The Americas is American, technically. That's how language works.

    But I'd venture* that 97.3% of people mean United States when they say "Americans", or better, it's what people mean 97.3% of the time. The only time I've seen people bring it up is when they're from a South American country.

    So I'd say context and scale of detail/granularity influence the meaning in the moment.

  • Los Angeles is not in North America

    I don't see a problem with that.

    Plus, by tectonic plates, isn't it America, since N/C/S America are on the same plate, right? (I don't trust my memory of school from decades ago).

  • TIL that there is no strict definition of a continent

    Jump

  • Well, they're in South America
