Forest is not the same as tree plantations.

That’s a nice list, but it doesn’t help with choice paralysis in that regard 😅

So I was researching this for another project and it looks like there are so called “Boost charge controllers” that can take various solar panel inputs and even output a higher voltage for battery charging (normal charge controllers don’t do that). There is for example this one that comes with a convenient switch to output different charging voltages.

What I am wondering is about this wood beam. I know there are costly chemicals for restoring wood which has been broken down by water. The stuff is supposed to penetrate into the wood and re-harden the fibers

My guess would be that this is just pure epoxy (not the two component epoxy glue you normally buy that includes plasticisers etc.). Epoxy can penetrate wood quite well, but you need to make sure the wood is really dry again before attempting this. Probably needs several weeks of drying.

Yeah, that’s nice. Effectively this means it is the cheapest in the EU or maybe the UK.

The currently ongoing mass-extinction isn’t exclusive to humans, but rather caused by them. So yes the planet as in its ecosystem is dying… maybe it is not fatal in the end, but it sure is killing a lot of species.

Still needs shipping and the US prices given are usually without VAT, which means another ~20% on top.

Probably 120€ if you add shipping from the US and VAT to it. The weak US$ helps a bit so maybe 110€.

Or train your children to not pee in the pool 😜

Get some aluminum sulfate (and something to adjust the pH for it) to flocculate those micro-algae.

Applies to both really.

So now there’s less restrictions not more or different.

Well, it is true that you are not legally required to inform members if New Zeeland jurisdiction was already in the ToS, but “less” in this case also means less legal protection for your members as the GDPR no longer applies directly.

On LiberaPay you can just select the payment to not autorenew and it becomes in effect a one time donation.

That’s great, but you should probably inform your members that the instance now falls under New Zeeland jurisdiction, no?

I also wonder how it will effect federation latency or so (not sure what to call it). Some Lemmy instances hosted in Australia had major issues with that in the past.

(1) sometimes, yes. It really depends 🤷

(2) And some stuff like the camera api is different from what mainline linux uses, so you need a special camera app etc. And the Android kernels lacks some features like virtualisation afaik.

(6) I haven’t tried it, but it seems to be mainly for running desktop linux distributions.

(8) Again, device specific. There are basically no standards in the ARM space for that, especially for old Android devices.

In theory much wider hardware support.

1. Unlikely but can happen. Some vendors like Fairphone will fix it for you if you send it in for service.
2. No that is not true, but the most popular Halium based distribution (Ubuntu Touch) has some other peculiarities that make this harder than it should be. They have experimental Snap support now though.
3. Ubuntu Touch is a good start as it supports many devices that are cheap to get. Dual booting is quite hard to do, so not something for beginners.
4. No idea, sorry.
5. Android has a lot of hardware specific battery optimizations. But overall it isn’t that bad… the people that complain probably got an old device for testing with a bad battery.
6. I think that is a feature in the latest Android 16.
7. About the same.
8. Device specific and probably not.
9. Afaik no.

Please close that case properly 😭

Given the memory optimization mentioned in the text, it looks a bit like there will be a 8GB ram version of the Steam Frame. Makes sense really, as it will make it significantly cheaper and for people mostly using it to stream from their main PC it shouldn’t matter much.

You could probably put Anubis in front of your reverse-proxy, but then you need something else in front of it that handles TLS certificates. So maybe something like this: HAProxy->Anubis->Nginx.
