Did you try a blade sampler pack? I find the feel of the blade to be way more pronounced than in a safety, especially anywhere sensitive. I tend toward much less aggressive blade in the shavette.

I can't tell if people are using the headline as a jumping off point or the whole thread just... ate the onion. (Nick Offerman eating onion)

I don't see why not. Hot dogs are generally pre-cooked, you can eat a cold one straight out of the package. The real question is if you made coffee instead of water would you get a coffee flavor caffeinated dog?

the not removable Google search on the home screen and non removable date on the home screen means that I will never buy another Google phone.

I'm fairly sure that's just a launcher limitation, you can swap out the entire launcher to whatever you want. If you don't want something radically different I think lawnchair is still around.

5 KILOwatt hours is a typical laptop battery? Aren't they more like 50-100wh?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Love the idea and article, but...

just 800 watts, enough to power a small fridge or charge a laptop,

I want to see a laptop with an 800w charger.

Seems like it could make wrestling news confusing.

aren't you still limited by ambient air temp because the hot side of the Peltier needs to be cooled by air anyway?

No, that's why the baby fridge works. The peltier TEC in the fridge can produce temperatures below ambient, but generally not below freezing. Computer chip TEC coolers would go farther and push more power through the TEC and do things like water-cooling the hot side instead of a little fan.

The reason they don't get used anymore more complicated. It's my understanding that basically TECs have a sort of limit on the amount of heat they can push from the cold side to the hot side, because moving more heat means more energy used and thus more waste heat. Apparently most modern chips are past that limit. IIRC, TECs can only move something like 100w of heat - past that and they start to heat themselves up because of waste heat. Modern chips can be like 300w.

Sub ambient cooling also comes with a bunch of issues like condensation, so no one really uses it day to day. Also, chips are run so close to their limits now that cooling like that doesn't get you nearly the performance difference it once did.

The light is immaterial (lol) to the holograms existence. They are only solid via fancy forcefield transmitted from the holo emitters. For all intents and purposes they seem to only exist as programs within whatever computer operates the holo emitters, whatever or whatever that may be. The only limit on where they can be is the speed of the computer system and links within it. They can send holo programs between the alpha and delta quadrants, but are limited by the speed and this can only send smaller programs. The mobile emitter often gets transported, but that's because they only have one. If the doctor is going somewhere with holo emitters they don't need to be transported and can just be data transferred.

Personal rant follows:

!The whole hologram plot in Voyager is honestly poorly thought out, and it basically feels like if you followed their logic Chat GPT would be a protected federation citizen. I get that the writers wanted to give the doctor legitimized personhood, but it feels like they forgot to think about what that would mean for literally every other hologram. !<

!Like, they give that one species holograms to hunt, does that mean they invented a species doomed to be reincarnated as prey forever? Is, Moriarty sentient, and if so is trapping him in a simulation moral? If they just run a hologram long enough does it gain sentience? How are they testing for this? Does that mean Vic Fontane is sentient even though he probably would say he isn't? What about that weird Irish bartender Janeway does - fair haven ran for a while, how long does it take? If you run a training program are you committing infanticide? Is turning off a hologram even moral?!<

There's a pretty large combination of factors that went on from what I remember. Partly it just plain didn't get that hot that often in the UK or France back then. Partly they wore entirely different undergarments that layered to keep sweat off their actual clothes and keep them cool. Partly the summer clothes were often flowy or puffy which helped move air near the skin. And partly the fabrics they wore were different. Things like linen and cotton were the go tos. Even the linen itself was different, modern linen has shorter fibers and is much lighter.

After the great renunciation (when men started wearing the modern(ish) suit) you start to see a lot more references to taking off layers either to cool off or to keep them clean or whatever. You also start to see variations in really hot places like the American deep south and Bermuda to deal with climates that get way way hotter than Europe with its nearby seas and cooling prevailing winds.

Please note that all of this may be wrong and I am entirely going off what I can remember off the top of my head.

Unfortunately probably not. G3 events aren't that uncommon, there's usually one every couple months. It never hurts to go look for a few minutes though. It's a pretty rough prediction, it's not set in stone. The best I've seen was a G4 and not the big G5 a few months ago.

Yeah IDK if people in the thread are actually familiar with the scale.

I'm fairly far north and I'm considering turning off my g3 email alerts and just leaving the bigger ones since it's generally a nothingburger.

 

So, this will probably be possible when the link handler is implemented, but it would be really handy to be able to switch what account you are viewing a post with. I'm guessing it would be possible to share the post to the link handler and then there would be an account selector, but it would be nice if there was a slightly less roundabout way to do it.

I'm on a smaller instance and browse all from the anonymous Lemmy.World account sometimes, but when I find a post from community that I'd like to subscribe to I have to copy and edit the post link to get the community link to search with. If anyone knows an easier way I'd love to know it.

 

So, I've found that there are a lot of ways to backup a server and anything on it, but I'm somewhat at a loss for what to use to backup everything else to that server.

For most stuff I personally can grab the files I need and back them up using a simple SMB share or rsync or whatever, but for my SO or anyone else who wants to back up is going to have a hard time. That doesn't even cover phones - which you would want to back up fairly regularly since, you know, they get dropped. Sure, I personally can hook up tailscale and split tunnel it, and then set up sync on certain folders, but nobody else I know is going to be able to.

In a perfect world there would be a backup app that had its own little wireguard tunnel built in that could run all the traffic from wherever to my server, and would easy to set up on Android and Windows, but I don't think that exists. So what does everyone use that does exist?
