I think this is mostly interesting for repurposing existing fossile fuel powerplants.

Add a relatively small geothermal power-plant on site for baseload demand plus a well sized grid battery and you can continue using a lot of the existing infrastructure of these older powerplants.

Due to security requirements this will not work with nuclear, even when using (largely theoretical) small modular reactors.

Noch besser ist eine Präferenzwahl.

I have such an air to water heat-pump. It reaches 55°C without the supplementary electric water heater, which is more than sufficient if you have a hot water tank. The supplementary electric heater is really only used when too many people want to shower in a short timeframe or to occasionally heat the tank up to 70°C+ to kill off any bacteria that might be growing in it.

I don’t think you will find a heat-pump with a variable drive compressor like you are proposing, but a DIY solution might be feasible.

But why not just install a vacuum tube solar-thermal water heater? They are more efficient anyways.

Tja, was die Unabhängigkeit der Staatsanwaltschaft angeht hat Italien Deutschland einiges voraus.

What about the kid that refuses to eat any marshmallows because they are too sweet and are bad for your health? 😜

Good article, but ugh… flipping houses that you know are going to be flooded soon after is just evil.

Because the entire article is a parody on how western media usually reports on sub-saharan African states.

A bit of googling:

its EPA-estimated combined driving range is 149 miles, but the city range figure is 162 miles

The 500e starts at $34,095

I can see why sales might be a bit sluggish with abysmal figures like that.

Powerful part:

Even if he doesn’t call it anxiety, he admits he sometimes has trouble focusing, and there’s a tenseness in his body that can be hard to shake off. But he’s usually able to turn it around by talking to his friends or elders, or by reciting his favorite proverb:

“They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.”

“It’s not about what I need, it’s about what my community needs,” he said. “There is joy in caring for one another. There is joy in coming together to fight for a future that we believe in.”

edit, delete, etc.

Can you do that with a letter once it is send? And the instance admin of the mirroring server can delete posts if that is legally required for some reason.

And how would that even work technically? Bulk import posts and spam other instances with mass updates? That would immediately detected as a spam-wave and blocked. And back dating technically new messages is also not exactly a great thing to allow.

Other implementations of nomadic identity like Hubzilla get around this by letting you run two accounts in parallel and syncing them from your main account, but they will also not back-port old messages before you linked up the secondary account.

Basically anyone with some experience with federated systems agrees that importing old messages in bulk on account migration will never happen, and I don’t really see an issue with that, since messages are not lost.

I don’t think that’s even desirable and also legally questionable. But anyways, these posts are not gone with an instance shutting down and thus I don’t really see a problem. You can always add a link to a mirrow of those old posts in your profile.

Und dann… mittendrin, “Doch was die Ampel tut, ist das schlimmste, was sie tun kann”. Völlig ohne Zusammenhang zu irgendetwas davor oder danach in der Diskussion.

Das stimmt so nicht. Der Artikel stellt das sehr wohl in den Zusammenhang das kurzfristiges sich durchwursteln das schlimmste ist was man machen kann wenn man Populisten etwas entgegensetzen will. Und ich denke diese Kritik an der Ampel ist nicht unberechtigt.

Content is mirrored on all federated instances and it is very rare for an instance to shut down without notice.

It’s super easy to migrate accounts on Mastodon. Even works fine to move an account from Mastodon to Akkoma for example.

I ended up with a second hand APC 1500. Contrary to some other models you can just monitor it with a standard USB cable, just the power cables with these inverted plugs are a bit hard to get these days.

Mbin is a fork that was startend to add some stuff the original Kbin dev didn’t like. These days it seems Kbin is dead though, so basically Mbin is the new Kbin.

I thought about it, but apparently it needs higher water temperatures than what my solar-termal water heater and air-to-water heatpump usually produces, so I scrapped the idea again.

Cheaped out on UPS, now I have three basic small ones I have no use for (they work except the battery isn’t good anymore). Would have been better spend a bit more right from the start.
