Fabulous Crusty. I don’t hate his work or his decisions, as he wanted to do what he liked, and he found a new audience with it. Absolutely good for him.
I miss his old content he probably decided was cringe, or perhaps YouTube deemed controversial like his playthrough of Rinse and Repeat. Rinse and Repeat isn’t controversial as far as I know(?) and had censor blurs. As someone in the LGBTA, I didn’t find his reactions to be inappropriate, and I liked his exploration of the jank of that game. Although I’m not sure why he played it, other than “this game is weird, it’ll get clicks.”
He’s deleted or delisted a lot of my favorite videos from back in the day (or I can’t find his old channel, not sure). I hope he’s doing well, I just miss the really random weird stuff he was playing. I did enjoy the Shadow of War stuff though.
Well whatever the most cost effective method of storing DC power from solar panels would be. I figure deep cycle lead-acid is probably still the cost per watt leader, but was just pondering the question who anyone who knows a bit about the topic.
Hmm, so it’s a question of what gets the most watt-hours stored for the least money?
Is there a size limit to the total battery pack?
Is the solar controller part of the budget or already paid for?
I hope I’m not being overly pedantic, we may have already narrowed it down to where someone can jump in with a recommendation.
From what I’ve seen, the controller is the expensive part. If you have that, then it’s a search for the cheapest battery type that is compatible with the controller. If it is made to take care of lead acid, then those are probably your best route for less expensive storage.
Downsides are that they do need maintenance and some knowledge of how they work to keep lead acid going for the long haul with top performance, and they take up more space than lithium based batteries.
They also have a shorter lifetime and perhaps more importantly, worse max depth of discharge. Compared to more modern battery chemistries, I suspect you end up paying more with lead acid to get the same amount of available power (just not up front) over a similar battery lifespan.
You’re right! A lead acid battery should not be discharged past half of its capacity, it shortened the lifespan of the battery if you do.
So, you need at least double your regular watt-hours that you use overnight in storage plus the batteries will need ongoing maintenance for it to last as long as possible.
I made a similar post about this a few days ago. I’m not sure if you were inspired by that post or if there’s just something in the water. Overall, I believe that activity creates activity in a snowball effect. For small sites like Lemmy or other fedi groups, I think having so many dead, bot-driven communities hurts the overall activity of the group as a whole.
I browse /all/new pretty much exclusively, and I see all the time posts in communities made for specific TV shows, made by the same person every time, getting zero traffic or engagement. The communities themselves usually have only a few subscribers. Just to address the elephant in the room, I think this type of behavior is carried entirely from Reddit refugees who read online and thought that Lemmy was a 1:1 substitution for Reddit, without realizing that the Fediverse’s user base is just a percentage as Reddit’s, and that fractalizing groups into such specific topics out the gate hurts discovery and engagement.
Honestly I have no idea these days. I don’t directly remember reading that post but I certainly may have and I have no problem crediting you with it.
I’ve encountered and complained about the problem from a UX perspective pretty much since coming over. It’s obviously not that I can’t figure it out, it’s that I’ve reached the point that I no longer think I should have to. I remember when I first started walking around university computer science departments and being surprised that about 90% of the computers were Macs and when I would talk to a CA professor with (say) a Windows convertible laptop (when those were brand new) they’d say how much they hated it because of how much work it took. I ended up on exactly the same page, after having started using Linux in 1994 when just getting X Windows running was a feat.
Now look at the average non-technical reddit user. They’re going to bail as soon as they realize they have no idea how to choose a server. Even after that, they’ll have 10 /politics to choose from.
In any case, I started to think about it from a network theory perspective. Let’s say we’re going to use some kind of preferential attachment network (PAN), like Google used when it launched. New nodes will preferentially attach to already more popular nodes. That’s (in a very broad brush sense) the way the Internet and social networks grow. If I want to read /politics, I want the canonical one, not the one with one post from six months ago.
The same approach would potentially apply to the user wanting to make a post. They’ll want to make their post where it’ll get views (obviously, because even if we’re not competing for karma we wouldn’t bother to post if we didn’t want it seen. Same discovery problem.
So the cost of building a PAN is going to be dominated by the cost of a new node finding its preferred attachments. That’s what goes up with fragmentation, and that’s what I think would dictate the fitness function in the evolutionary model I was proposing.
If you write it up, I’ll work on it but want to be co-author :)
Ha, this is me. I did exactly that (with a community for the TV show Andor) and am guilty of the behaviour you describe.
I’ve probably been thinking along the same lines as you and OP though, 'cos I deleted the community a couple of days ago. I realized that if I had something more to say about that show, it doesn’t belong in it’s own niche community, or ‘Star Wars TV’, or ‘Star Wars’, or even ‘Television’. Perhaps a ‘Movies&TV’ comm, although - at this rate - maybe even ‘entertainment’ would be best.
I’m starting to think that instances that limit community creation to admins have the right idea (e.g. Beehaw, or - to use a non-federated example - tildes).
Some instances have started ‘Community Teams’, but I sense that anytime they discover a dead community, their instinct is to find ways to promote it, get new mods, drive engagement etc, whereas I’m more of the opinion that they should be nuked and consolidated (along the lines of what the ‘cooking’ communities have tried to do, I suppose).
But a poorly cooked one since it looks like the egg is cooked through without having toasted the bread. Ideally the egg yolk will be runny and the bread toasted on both sides. It’s also missing the interior ‘dipper’ toasted separately. Looks like good bread though.
The ending of se7en makes no sense. All the previous victims were murdered because they suffered from one of the seven deadly sins (gluttony, sloth, greed, lust, pride). But the final two victims - that supposedly would complete the list - did not suffer from these sins, but instead the perpetrators murdered them out of envy and wrath. Gwyneth did not suffer from envy, and Brad did not get murdered for his wrath.
Such a shame because the rest of the movie is great.
that ending was the very first draft of the film. there were multiple other ones but the directer was sent that one by mistake but loved it so much it stayed as that
That’s really interesting! The ending is famous and otherwise well regarded, so the director probably made a good decision - even though I will always disagree :)
Brad suffered extremely for his wrath. As did spaceys character. (who was wrath all along in this movie.)
With envy you’re right. Never thought of that. But the whats in the box scene is so very powerful I kinda never noticed. It is powerfully acted, directed, shot. It cemented the career of everyone who was involved, right there.
I just go into notes app or pen and paper of choice nothing too fancy
Also take this with a grain of salt as while I’m still living with my parents and don’t really pay
In one section I have subscriptions that cannot exceed like $35 a month and that’s more a list that rarely gets updated
Then as for month to month expenses I divide into money to spend on games and toys/treats for my dogs and taking out the gf and gas and an other category and I allocate money towards those categories
I do it so I don’t over spend in one section like blow all my money on my dogs then have no money to spend for my girlfriend or something
Each month when I “refresh” my monthly budget any unspent money (and minus some to put into savings) rolls over to next months budget
It works wonders and I can move money for spending around easy since it’s all visual
Basically the premise for YNAB. You’re doing good work and have a good habit and mine set. Once you get more cash flow it will be harder to keep track. I use YNAB it may work for you too.
To clarify a little, I was asking more about things where…Importance isn’t so much a factor. It’s more to do with wanting to know whatever new oddity might be around to check out. Passivity in this situation is allowing others to have more input on what reaches you, which isn’t always reliable if you want to explore different stuff.
I need to figure out a better way to frame this question. 🤔
Things are popular for reasons and being cynical about it and prejudging something based only on its popularity is limiting your exposure to the world.
Its better to have an informed opinion then a cynical ignorance.
Demand avoidance is a thing, I specifically hate it when people are all “BRO, how have you not seen this, it’s the shit. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING!” So I just stay away as a fuck you I guess.
I find the people who do the whole “how have you not seen […]” Have not matured enough too have the awareness that other people have different life experiences. Lack of empathy.
I loved it, and I’ve watched it several times. I just enjoy fun popcorn action movies these days, though, so I tend to be more a fan of this type of movie than most. I loved the cast and the chemistry they had and wanted to see a sequel.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I think it’s one of the greatest films ever made because I watched it, not because someone told me it was.
But seriously, 95% of the “classic” movies deemed so important are just not that good. They might have been remarkable for some reason at the time, but from a contemporary perspective, they’re often boring, long winded, and generally not interesting.
It’s the same with books. Some people decided at some point which books are considered “good” and everyone just has to eat that or be considered stupid. Can’t speak for other languages, but I think it’s extremely suspicious, that in Germany the “canon books” are almost all from a rather short timeframe, which just happens to coincide with 19th century nationalism.
I think treating Reddit like an other source of information (whether valuable or not) is fine to reference for conversation or topics. While I’m pissed at what the overlords there have done, it still has a large source of community based information.
I agree, but only with the amendment that links to reddit only be text posts and comment chains, or otherwise reddit-exclusive things such as /r/place.
Images and links should bypass reddit altogether and just link to the first source link (ie, the news article or w/e), or be posted as a lemmy image post with a credit citation in the description.
Nobody wants to have to click through 3 different pages to learn who’s winning what war or to see a picture of a cat.
