  • EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into force

    Jump

  • See, for me, I rapid charge like once a month. All the rest of the time I use my home charger or even a granny lead. 10A granny charging is absolutely fine overnight. But for the size of the E-Berlingo, the battery is a bit small and I know all kind of new batteries are coming. More kWh for the same weight/size, less degradation, safer, etc etc. If I knew the car was designed with battery replacement in mind, I'd worry a lot less about it being obsoleted prematurely. These cars are all black boxed stuck together. It's not built with repairing and upgrading in mind.

  • Oh totally, I have a E-Berlingo which basically an ICE converted to an EV, so there is all kind of compromises.

    But batteries do improve and an old existing EV can be improved battery. Example: https://evsenhanced.com/aftermarket-battery/

    But the economics is much harder if batteties aren't unique to each EV. (They aren't completely of course, the guts of my E-Berlingo are shared across a number of others.) EVs, like a lot else, should be designed with maintaining and upgrading in mind. Especially with parts like batteries which are in such evolutionary flux.

  • Yes and no. No need to hot swap massive EV batteries. Rapid is fast enough. But yes so the EV can be upgraded. The batteries go obsolete quicker than they degrade. So make it so we can swap the batteries and keep the rest running. In fact, just right-to-repair the whole car. In fact, the whole everything!

  • Starmer must protect elections from foreign interference, says watchdog | Party funding

  • My preference is score/range voting. Then there is no vote splitting.

  • He should also get rid of FPTP now. If he doesn't, the sane vote will be split Lab, Green, Lib and maybe Plaid, SNP and maybe Con. While the nutty vote all goes to Reform and they get in with like less than a third of the vote.

  • What are the things that makes a selfhostable app/project good?

    Jump

  • The problem is when Docker is used to gift wrap a mess. Then there are rotting dependencies in the containers. The nice thing about Debian packaged things is the maintainer is forced to do things properly. Even more so if they get it into the repos.

    My preference is Debian Stable in LXC or even KVM for services. I only go for Docker if that is the recommended option. There is stuff out there where the recommend way is their VM image which is full of their soup of Dockers.

    Docker is in my pile of technologies I don't really like or approve of, but don't have the energy to really fight.

  • Germany: Chancellor Olaf Scholz loses vote of confidence

    Jump

  • That makes me feel better. Thanks. I worry about the UK and our FPTP and Reform. They could gain power with it.

  • Germany electorate, please pleasantly surprise us. It's been as dark year. Don't vote in Nazis as well.

  • Do linux users have wives?

  • There is lots to fix. Including the pipe line of Linux devs into the industry.

  • Which sucks, because tech needs women. Badly.

  • If the US wants the power, it takes the responsibility. If it doesn't take the responsibility, it will lose that power.

    Russia and China would be happy to take the position vacated. If the EU got it's act together, it could also be a contender (but it's not looking like it will at the moment with its own Putin backed popularists).

  • Do linux users have wives?

    Jump

  • When someone gives you that emotionless stare, it means not only is you comment not funny, it's not really socially acceptable.

    Linux users are not all male, or all straight, or single. Outside of incel groups, most groups aren't (probably even they have members who secretly aren't!) 😃

  • ‘Would you survive 72 hours?’ Germany and the Nordic countries prepare citizens for possible war

    Jump

  • TLDR - if you don't support Ukraine's right to exist, I'm not interested in your opinion. There is no balance here. I've met and know too many Ukrainians.

  • Israel is acting in a monsterous way that doesn't make it think of it as part of the West. The US isn't an angel, but that doesn't make it like Putin's Russia. It's false equivalent. Though, with Trump, it could degrade so much I don't see it as part of the West anymore. If it stops being a real democracy. It could even full apart as I don't see all the States standing for it. Putin's, and authoritarian's everywhere, wet dream.

  • Countries joining NATO to get protection from Russia, or the EU, to get trade deals, is not remotely the same as Russia invading Ukraine in bloody war. Or any of the murderous shit Putin has done.

  • There is no "both sides" here. Russia invaded Ukraine, repeatedly since 2014, salami slicing it. It interfered in elections. It killed multiple people on foreign soil, using highly dangerous, banded methods, that could easily have killed many others than the target. Putin has completely destroyed any democracy in Russia and murders his opponents.

    But this looks it could be argued the Chinese excavators are cheaper because they are electric. That all the combustion engine vs electric is the normal anti EV FUD. JCB don't do electric as they say it can't work. They back hydrogen or the status quo. If JCB is right, they shouldn't need tarrifs.

    But maybe is some evidence is real market dumping I didn't see.
