A lot of phones and laptops can't really run without a battery pack. And you wouldn't want to, because cables are a bit unreliable and you don't want power to blink out, terminate whatever you had running and potentially corrupt a partition just because someone lightly bumped the cable.

But running a permanently connected device with a four-hour battery full of rare materials and wearing that down for no reason is pretty wasteful.

Is anyone making capacitor packs for this purpose? With just enough energy store for five minutes of power and a graceful shutdown?

@float13 Used to live and drive in Sweden:

Yes, big 2-lane roundabouts were the first to be built in the 80s to enhance flow on big traffic arteries. In the 90s and onward more and more small 1-lane roundabouts were built to enhance flow on smaller roads and streets.

@futurebird

those who cheer armageddon or "accelerationism":

so you're happy to see your grandchildren die?

the essential conceit with such people is they have main character syndrome

they believe they will survive

the reality is:

cut your toe, oops sepsis

or they have a cache of gold: dude with a gun gets that

or they have a bunker: you mean your head of security has a bunker

or they believe in their holy purity: their judgment of themselves can be quite flawed, sometimes cringe level

I have noted before that "Please take advice" is a piece of life wisdom dispensed by HK ATMs every time you withdraw money.

(the "advice" is refers to is the withdrawal receipt)

Now I realized it even has wisdom printed on the machine itself: "Please take notes", often a good idea.

(it means the bank notes)

I'll never be able to unsee this

"We now have enough Starlink reentries to use the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis estimator to determine the median Starlink operational lifetime: 5.3 years. This mixes together V1 and V2M Starlinks."

7 Starlink satellites burned up in the higher atmosphere yesterday.

Unlike what some are saying, these are satellites that were already planned to re-enter ahead of the solar storm and were launched in 2020/2021.

After listening to the OST about 50 more times, "How It's Done" is still the most fun, especially because hearing it conjures up the images of the fantastic fight choreography.

But "Your Idol" and "What It Sounds Like" are the heavy hitters of the soundtrack. "My voice without the lies; This is what it sounds like" is a line that packs so much Stuff.

@strypey @_elena @yunohost Nobody said self-hosting was supposed to be common, same us publishing to whatever corporate service there is ain't common. But if you want to publish something, just hosting a simple text file is easy. As you might remember, back in the 90s, we all used to have a dedicated folder in our /home/$USERNAME/public_html to publish files from through an http server.

This is why:

Sony's output doesn't have a house style, takes huge risks, and is therefore super inconsistent. They put out a full range from junk to brilliance.

I cannot emphasize this enough: if you are having a panic attack about the general state of your life - academics, your job, your relationship with anyone - and it's 9 pm or later, GO TO BED. Don't @ me with your special case objection that willfully misses the point, go the fuck to bed and consider what if anything needs to be done when well-rested and well-fed

I have had more personal crises than is advisable to admit to and so have many of my friends, I guarantee this is coming from extensive experience
