Modern heat pumps, which use the same principle as A/C, can achieve 4 to 1 efficiency. Old fridges can be tanks, but are horribly inefficient. A new high efficiency unit could probably pay itself off in 2 3 years.

Try octopuses. Essentially liquid. Think Odo from Startrek DS9. Watch them go from a beige cucumberish shape to a dark green/brown lump that looks like a jagged rock

I don't buy new cars. I buy them 5-10 years old, and for a bit before, try to keep an eye on how many I see of them on the road. Not very scientific, but it gives you an idea of their longevity.

I was surprised, until I read the last paragraph. SEAT and Skoda have been the reliable VW brands for 2-3 decades, with the Ibizas and Octavias reaching mythical status. I read somewhere that some SEATs are actually rebadged VW china models. Great way for VW to squander reputation.

I was once at a convenience store, run by a Chinese man, and this 30ish girl in a tank top, obviously a regular comes in and says @look I got my sons name tattooed. Then she says, “look, Aitor@“. The guysmiles nervously. She leaves, and I ask the guy, who es shaking his head, and he says that it was some random mataré sign.

I'm old enough to have had to sign credit card receipts in Europe. I routinely signed "Mickey mouse" and stuff like that. Never had a second look.

I hate the guy, It scares me shitless that he may be elected, but we must admit that creating the "weave" thing to sell his mental decline as a brilliant oratorial strategy is a genius marketing move. The problem is that he is selling exploding Ford Pintos as the safest car in the world.

I have a Gen 8 HP microserver. Works great. Mine has a Celeron with 4Gb, running Xpenology, but you can plop in a Xeon and 16Gb, for containers and stuff if you want. Runs great, 4 Proliant caddies, cold plug, an extra SATA connector for a CD that can be repurposed for an SSD, a power draw of 25-45w. Very small form factor, Proliant quality and build. Fairly silent, and very small.
Super happy with it, and it can probaly be found on ebay cheap.

I'm a Rocket Lab fan. Tons of innovation, slower progress due to not having the richest man behind, but on track to launch a reusable medium rocket, FULLY reusable and with a sensible guy at the helm.

The "Botijo" uses the same principle and has been in use for centuries in Spain to cool water.
The article mentions fragility, but I imagine that some open sided fiberglass cage or equivalent could be made. Fiberglass is fairly low tech nowadays, cheap and widely available even in the developing world.

What do you consider to be the "Goldilocks" distro? the one that balances ease of install and use, up-to-date, stability, speed, etc... You get the idea. I'm not a newb, these last few years I've lived in the Debian and derivatives side of things, but I've used RH, Slackware, Puppy :), and older stuff, like mandrake/mandriva and others. Never tried Suse or Arch, and while Nix looks appealing, I need something to put in production rapidly. I have tried Kinoite in a VM, but I couldn't install something (which I can't remember), and that turned me off. Oh I'm on Mint right now, because lazy, but it's acting up with a couple of VMs, which I need, I really don't have the time or desire to maybe spend two days troubleshooting, and I'm a bit fed up with out of date pkgs.
Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort? Thay are allegedly a legal service where some nefarious actors provide torrenting plugins etc. I tried to find out how they were financed, and found northing but a site purportedly selling "Web3" advertising, and filled with technobabble nonsense. No address, no way to purchase their services no GDPR notice or anything... All I can find regarding their safety are "It's legit, nothing has happened to me so far" comments in reddit and other boards. They have your email, they host the service, they can track all you do... Seems kind of fishy. Ive tried it, ironically, to watch stuff that I pay for, I have Netflix, prime video, Disney... But Stremio gives me much higher resolutions. Even though I live in a country where sailing the high seas is not persecuted, as long as you are the end-user and you derive no profit, I'm going to delete my account (made with an email address I have for bullshit stuff ), make a new one with a truly disposable email and get a VPN.
I'm having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can't get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing the folder with Samba, and can see it from another Linux VM, but not from windows. Any clues?
I have looked everywhere (so it's probably in front of my face). Where are saved posts? Are they in my instance, in lemmy? How can I find them?
