It being summer here, I’ve stripped the inside walls and insulation. It was built in the 60s and had terrible insulation. I did have to wear a respirator because that era of gyproc used asbestos and mine tested positive. But now I’m furring out the walls on the inside with 2X material to get an R20-24, and I’ll probably add a reflective layer for added heat retention/reflection. I also have to re-do the siding, so I might add a 2" closed-cell layer under that for another R8. I’d like to have it competely passive, with a greenhouse on one side to gather winter heat and circulate. Winter here is pretty much 8 months so I have an uphill battle there.

Hey, most people are typing on a 12 key flip phone still, aren’t they?

Stop hitting yourself.

When I actually get an awk/sed command to work.

bachefs is probably a couple years from stability. I certainly wouldn’t use it for something I wasn’t willing to rebuild from scratch. And Linus said he’s dropping it out of 6.17, the patches were allowed for 6.16 but that was the last. You’ll be patching manually going forward unless he changes his mind.

Kent’s acting like this is a production filesystem and users need to have his fixes RFN. Anyone using bcachefs in anger needs their head examined. They should expect it to blow up completely, and they can pick up the pieces.

I have woodstoves as well, but I’ll run the furnace fan to distribute the heat, so there’s a bit of use, and it’ll kick propane in if the fire burns down, or the heat pump if it’s above -15 outside and I have capacity. I tend to be around 10KW of usage but 23KW of panels struggles some days. After about 5 days of poor sun I’ll be out of reserve, and I fire up the genny for 5 hours to top them back up.

I’ve considered building a woodgas source for the genny, that would take me pretty much completely off the teat. I’d love to get a groundsource heat pump but those are mucho dinero.

I’ve also considered melting urea for a cooling source, since we farm and need N for the sprayer. It’s amazing how much heat the endothermic reaction takes, and using a sprayer for topdressing is much more precise than spreading dry fert.

it exports an insane amount of solar panels instead of keeping them for themselves

How altruistic of them.

It’s got Radium! It’s what the body craves!

It’s about energy independence. The CCP doesn’t give a fuck about the environment, but not having to bring in energy from out of country is high on any governments priority list.

If it weren’t for having to run the heat pump, I’d have 10X what I need right now. But 3 or 4 hours of usable sunlight in the winter makes it hard to keep up.

Cuomo concedes.

Now do this for all Democratic primaries.

We’re going to get serious if you kill another quarter million women and children. You just watch it.

Oh, you’re thinking about real Jesus. You need to read the Bible according to Supply-side Jesus. That’ll make more sense.

With showers?

Mir wasn’t adopted and is now a Wayland compositor.

It doesn’t matter if you hide the number; at some point they deanonymized you when you signed up.

Want to be a dick about “hoops”? Get a number that isn’t traceable. It can be done, but it’s tough. I doubt its possible in the countries that really need anonymity of association.

No clue. Never even tried to use it since it’s a Meta product. I was referring to Signal’s phone # requirement being a non-starter.
