There’s no such thing as too simple to document. If you spent time learning how to install it, you’ll need to relearn it if you want to make any changes in the future. If you don’t leave at least some notes as to why you make some decisions, you’ll have to redo your work.

It’s also good to make notes on every configuration setting. That forces you to understand why the settings are the way they are. If you have a -f in a docker config and you don’t have any understanding of why that’s there, you might not know if it’s a development flag for getting things set up, or if it’s a critical part of your environment.

It is especially important if any of those parts are exposed to the public Internet. You might have a config set to allow unauthenticated connections and not know it.

That only works after the video is out and has usage statistics.

This could theoretically start to identify those moments before the video is public.

That’s how I read the article, yes.

It’s a little confusing, because they seem to also be speculating on how power generation and load will be in the future as well as people’s charging habits.

I’m not sure you’re talking about the same thing the paper is about. The overall load is lower, but the mix of power types is different.

Specifically, in California, there’s a HUGE difference in power generation types overnight than during the day. There’s excess capacity until the sun goes down due to solar. If you look ahead to everyone driving EVs, and then assume that everyone charges at night, then the power problem is completely different than what it is today.

You’re missing that the researchers recommend charging during daytime business hours, which means people who use EVs to drive to work would need public or workplace provided chargers to accommodate this.

Setting a timer to charge around noon wouldn’t help if you’re parked at your job with no chargers nearby.

Basically they want people to charge during the daytime when solar power is available, instead of in the evening when the grid is strained by higher demand and lack of renewable energy.

EVs have timers in them to prevent them from charging during peak demand or high electric cost hours. My power company charges triple rates from 2pm-7pm weekdays. We just have the EV timer set to not charge during that window.

No, this is exactly why it shouldn’t be allowed. This isn’t akin to playing a video of home movies because this is a fake video of the victim. This is complete fiction and people thinking it’s the same thing is what makes it wrong.

Your emotions don’t always line up with “what you know” this is why evidence rules exist in court. Humans don’t work that way. This is why there can be mistrials if specific kinds of evidence is revealed to the jury that shouldn’t have been shown.

Digital reenactments shouldn’t be allowed, even with disclaimers to the court. It is fiction and has no place here.

This isn’t a message from the victim. This is a message from his sister using his image as a way to increase the impact of her statement in court.

This is a bad thing, this is manipulating the court with a false and confusing message.

There is an API that you can call to sync Kobo e-readers with calibre.

It just depends on if this would work with your current thoughts on how your app works.

I would be interested in something that can sync with Calibre-Web

Kinda cool how the configs work, but it feels like you need to rely a little too much on having premade configs available for the things you want to do.

What? There’s so many limitations on how you can move and manage files! You can’t even copy directories! That was a basic command in the 80’s.

Sure it has a UI, which makes some things easier, but there were fewer limitations in the 80’s on what you could and couldn’t do.

Check out this arstechnica article on AudioBookshelf. Should cover most of what you need to get started.

Wind turbines as well.

Unless you count the humidity in the air.

Except Signal should not have that data. They claim they do not log that information, so it should be impossible for them to do that.

Unless signal is lying, that’s not something they can do.

5g can cover a lot of rural areas, it’s not universal, but it’s a lot more available than fiber or cable.

There are certainly a lot of holes in the coverage, but a lot of people I know who live in pretty rural farm areas went from pretty unreliable microwave internet, to extremely reliable 5g internet a couple years ago.

That’s not going to be the solution for everyone, but it does work to (relatively) quickly get internet to a pretty big area.

Customer service reps have almost the same information that a customer would have. The only difference is they have a few more tools available to them.

Asking policy questions or anything at this level would likely get no useful info.

Airplanes fly typical routes, so it’s possible, but not guaranteed.
