  • Switchmode power supply.

  • Huh, first I've seen that writeup. First in-depth well-reasoned set of criticisms I've read on the XMPP+OMEMO setup, which is my goto and usual recommendation (and what I still find most power-efficient on a degoogled phone, most usable and reliable despite its stagnation).

    Gives a good overview of the accumulated technical debt/chaos beneath the surface. Really hope that conversations and omemo can sort out their mess, or that other clients like kaidan can rise up and push omemo forward, because xmpp itself has been a solid foundation.

  • Conversations is excellent for XMPP, but only available on android.

    For iOS/MacOS Monal, for iOS Siskin, for Linux/Windows Gajim.

  • "Instructions unclear..."

  • It's a consistent highly inefficient heat because it only smoulders, without a flame.

    It will clog your chimney/flue with creosote.

    It's also a horrible thing to do to yourself and your neighbours.

    No efficient wood heater/stove is designed to burn like that.

    If you want a slow release of heat you need to store it in masonry or water.

  • Masonry heater or don't even bother.

    It's barely practical to run a typical modern Australian wood heater efficiently because they can't store the heat of a blazing hot efficient smokeless burn.

  • Yep, need to get a hot blazing burn then it's fairly clean (and efficient). Smaller wood is better -- just keep loading it in.

    Trouble is, no one ever listens. They throw on massive logs then crank the airflow right down for the lovely slow burn through the evening, then wedge in the biggest piece they can find and close the airflow "so it's still burning in the morning" (*smouldering).

  • Catches the train and supports other principled causes:

  • Huh, that's close to one of Melbourne's older tram stop designs (slowly being phased out and replaced with accessible platform stops).

  • Letters, punctuation, and spaces are just about the only ASCII in that art.

  • "Having carefully considered all these matters, we are unanimously of the opinion that the evidence was sufficiently cogent to support the findings that the appellant murdered four Afghan men and to the extent that we have discerned error in the reasons of the primary judge, the errors were inconsequential," an executive summary from the court said.

  • So.. (spoiler alert for everyone who is only up to the June 2023 episode of APH in the Vice article):

    In September 2023 the $10B housing bill was passed by Labor and the Greens.Bit of a shame Labor held back for so long on the Greens amendments, but Labor did show here they can work around the inevitable delays of robust parliamentary discourse by approving interim funding for housing in June to get things started while the details of long term funding were nutted out the crossbench.

  • What are the odds for ejabberd becoming the best matrix server implementation?

  • You're all still suckling at the opium teat of corporate media, whether via torrent or not.

  • The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it's only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery -- its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.
