I’m in Australia. I don’t get below 200 ping. 150 would be nice.

I didn’t know about %n, but otherwise I’ve been using this.

I’m disappointed that my world clocks broke and only display UTC after upgrading to LMDE 7.

New battery and solar installation is already cheaper than gas. This plan only helps the fossil fuel companies and the politicians they bought.

I had issues with my 2 ASUS RT-AX53U routers. Devices dripping off the network and randomly slow internet. Replacing the firmware with OpenWRT fixed all of the issues, and I’m still using them.

OpenWRT (on these routers) does support mesh networks. I only have experience with these, so I can’t make any informed recommendations.

I thought new EVs hit lifetime price parity over 5 years ago.

Any charging can be 5 minute charging if you unplug it soon enough.

SponsorBlock works pretty well.

Plugshare has this cool feature where it tells you if a charger is a rapid charger or a destination charger. The orange ones in the image are rapid chargers. As you can see, they are not just on highways.

Plugshare also has a rating system to give you an indication of reliability, user reports so you can see if it was working recently, and even has integration with several charging companies to give you realtime information about how many chargers are available or in use.

The old tritium chargers had reliability issues, but the newer chargers seem to be a lot better so far.

Yes, really. I recommend checking plugshare (linked above) to find chargers before complaining about the lack of chargers.

I did rideshare driving for several years using just a standard 10A outlet. I can promise you it’s fine for over 99% of people.

The only reason I upgraded to a 3x faster charger was because it had a cable mounted to the wall which was more convenient.

If you only charge overnight, a 10 hour charge will add 24kWh which is about 150km. If you absolutely must drive over 150km per day (7 days per week) and you can’t charge at home for more than 10 hours per day (even on weekends), you can stop at a rapid charger once per week. It’s still cheaper and more convenient than petrol.

TL;DR: You can’t charge in remote areas in central Australia.

If you live in a city you can charge almost anywhere. All major highways are covered. Check PlugShare for charger locations.

If you can charge at home, you’ll get cheaper and more convenient electricity.

The holocaust was legal, hiding Jews to keep them alive was illegal.

Following the law does not guarantee you’re doing the right thing.

Still better than burning bunker fuel to carry oil. Every bit helps.

I miss the comfort of having a single OS (not multiple distros to choose from), and a father who would reinstall the OS when I broke it too much again.
I miss the Macromedia Flash games, bringing games to school on a floppy disk labeled “homework” (then discovering I’d only brought the shortcut).

All of this is just nostalgia, and while I miss it, I’m happier now with my Linux Distro.
I’ve customised the desktop environment, broken the OS and reinstalled it myself (several times), and copied games to another device while forgetting to copy the folder containing my save files.
I guess some things stay the same.

Yes, I have one.

Assuming no stream of load cars nearby, they are either loud enough to hear (tyre noise), or slow enough to not worry about.

There’s a big difference between a constant stream of cars with noise from every direction, and the occasional delivery vehicle that you can hear coming.

Best example: the holocaust was legal, hiding Jews to save their lives was illegal.

I really wanted GrapheneOS, but ended up with /e/OS on a fairphone because I refuse to give Google any more money.

After replacing the default launcher with Lawnchair, I’m pretty happy with it. The physical switch (remapped to control the torch) is a nice touch.
