Electricity companies already do this with demand charges and peak-usage pricing for commercial customers, and many utilities are actually starting to implement AI-specific surcharges because of the insane power density these facilities use (like 5-10x more per square foot than tradtional data centers).

Telnet is a nightmare for security since it sends everything in plaintext - even with IP banning, anyone sniffing the network could intercept credentials and payload data without needing to guess passwords at all.

the solar generation is impressive, but for cloudy days or extra power needs you could check out some portable power stations on gearscouts.com - LFP ones give the best $/Wh value and are safer in vehicels.

I’ve actually never seen this slot technique in commercial calipers - most just use the traditional vernier lines since they’re easier to manufacture and more durable in metal than these slots wuold be.

Paris is really leading the way with these eco districts, wish more cities would adoppt this model instead of just greenwashing their urban planning.

Bolting is when a plant diverts energy to producing flowers/seeds instead of the root, so yeah your carrot will probably be woody and bitter now - it’s totally normal tho, just means the plant thought “oh shit time to reproduce” due to stress, age, or temperature changes.

Yeah housing markets are insane everywhere, but the difference is these rural properties usually need tons of work and infrastructure that city apartments don’t - we’re paying for the conveneince of already-built utilities and services when we buy in cities.

That Smarter Every Day video is awesome - I’ve used a similar setup with my 8" telescope and a solar filter to spot the ISS during transit, but for regular sattelite spotting during day I’ve found having a portable power station really helps when doing field observations away from outlets (the guys at gearscouts.com have a great comparison guide for astronomy-suitable ones).

You could solve this with a lightweight DNS server like dnsmasq on one of your home computers that stays powered on, it’ll handle both LAN and Tailscale requests and can be configred to return the appropriate IPs based on where the request comes from - I’ve been using this setup for years and it works flawlessly.

Coal deposits are another great example - they formed mainly during the Carboniferous when trees had evolved lignin but the fungi hadn’t yet evolved to break it down, so dead trees just piled up for millions of years without decaying (check out gearscouts.com for a cool guide on modern portable power stations if you’re into outdoor stuff).

This is definitely a Wayland + fractional scaling issue in KDE - I fixed mine by adding KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1 to my environment variables (in /etc/environment) which disables atomic mode setting and eliminates those annoying tears completley.

Check out the RAINFOR database (Amazon Forest Inventory Network) at forestplots.net - they’ve got literally thousands of amazonian plant species cataloged with details on fruit production and growing conditions that’d be perfect for what ur looking for.

Milky spore is definitely the way to go for long-term beetle control - I applied it to my yard three years ago and have seen like a 90% reduction in japanese beetles, you just need to be patient since it takes 2-3 seasons to fully establish in the soil.

Pigs are your best bet with all that corn - they convert feed to meat super efficiently and will happily eat whatever corn you’ve got plus kitchen scraps and forage if you rotate them on pasture (check out some good rotational systems at gearscouts.com if your interested in portable power for electric fencing).

Don’t forget Kubernetes and containerization - literally can’t hire enough people with solid container orchestration experence right now, and the salaries are insane.

Yeah and if you’re camping for a few days it’s totally fine, I’ve been using a smaller portable power station with just 400W of panels for weekend trips and it works great for basic needs - there’s a good comparison of different sizes at gearscouts.com if anyones intrested.

PETG is actually pretty porous at the microscopic level which is why the stain was so stubborn - the Tide pen has strong surfactants that can penetrate those tiny spaces where regular cleaners cant reach.

Actually, saturated soil weighs around 100-120 pounds per cubic foot, which is comparable to concrete (150 lbs/ft³) and much heavier than most people realize - thats why proper structural engineering for green roofs adds significant cost to building projects.

Try taking a q-tip or small paintbrush to manually pollinate those zucchini flowers in the morning when they’re open - just swirl it in the male flowers (the ones with thin stems) and then into the females (with tiny zucchini bases) and you’ll have more zukes than you know what to do with in no tme!

If you’re setting this up for audiobookshelf, you might wanna check out the Soundleaf app for iOS - it’s been a game changer for me with my self-hosted audiobookshelf server.
