I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.
The gains compound a bit too, 20 percent less weight equals proportionally less battery capacity required to shift the now-lighter vehicle from point A to point B.
So then you can cut the size of the battery while maintaining the same range, and that’s where you start to get significant overall weight and cost savings.
It’s all fun and games until your (insert vehicle here) crashes , or has a fire, or suffers a mishap, or reaches its destination and explodes as designed, and apart from all the normal problems you have with that, you also now have to contend with a few kilos of fizzed up nuclear fuel and some hot reaction by-products spread all over the place. You also have to contend with the neutron activation of the air passing through your nuclear ramjet, which makes it briefly radioactive, which is fine for a cruise missile that you intend to blow up in a few hours anyway, not so fine for regular transport routes.
Nuclear powered vehicles have some inherent risks with pain-in-the-ass consequences, and if we scale those small per-vehicle risks up across a worldwide fleet we’d see accidents involving them as often as we are aircraft crashes, and that’s not great.
This is entirely the wrong community for this answer, but I’ve used the pro version of Textra for 10 years now. One time payment (10 years ago), updates every few months, lots of features, but they don’t get in your way if you don’t need them.
The main feature I use is “delay send for 5 seconds” to allow me to catch all my spelling and grammatical errors after I hit send , but the rest of the UI is pretty well thought out.
One of the very few commercial Android apps that I’d recommend to someone.
Fossify Messages is your trusted messaging companion
I hate this kind of advertising language.
Don’t sell this as some fait accompli , done deal thing. It’s not anything to me at the moment. It doesn’t need to be my “messaging companion”. It needs to be a program, that I use to send and receive SMS/MMS messages. That’s it.
And “trusted”? I’ll be the judge of that.
Posts in linux@lemmy.ml are on average about 4 or 5 hours apart. I think we can squeeze these kinds of posts in amidst the hustle and bustle in here.
It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.
Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).
Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.
Whatever you setup, also do a reverse ssh connection back to a PC of yours and forward ports for SSH and VNC-or-similar to local ports on your PC.
That way if it still boots you’ve got a way to fix it remotely and with reverse ssh they don’t have to do anything with port forwarding on their end.
Check and see if they can be hooked up to home assistant. If they can, and they expose start/stop functionality, then you can ask HA to start and stop them for you.
Then you don’t have to deal with the awful app/UI/external cloud server that they usually use.
I found with my QNAP NAS that even just sitting the case on a piece of styrofoam made it considerably quieter. A lot of vibration gets transmitted through the feet and whatever it sits on gets turned into a sounding board.
Does anyone actually hate systemd?
It’s a little too monolithic and kitchen-sink-including for my liking. It doesn’t feel like the “do one thing and do it well” style, it has a pretty large attack surface as a result.
Oh, and binary log files.
They’ll have a nice snapshot of data up until about 2021 and then it’ll just be garbage.
Changing the URL to old.reddit.com gets around this, until they eventually give up on the old design.
“Why do people do X, when in my opinion if you disregard the two top reasons for doing X, it’s pointless? Prove to me that it would be better!?”
Again,
Ha! Welcome to corporate
There is a catchphrase in corporate - “Minimum viable product” and it means just that, memory leaks and all.
People don’t just leave leaking apps out there for consumption.
Ha! Welcome to corporate, where vendors sell you software and say that the hardware has to have 128GB of ram and when you poke around a bit you discover a single JVM with constantly growing memory usage with a script that restarts it every time it runs out of resources.
AND a log file that describes - in typical Java excruciating detail - the precise lines in each module where the devs allocated resources but didn’t free them. About 40 times a second.
Lots of expensive industrial equipment runs these kinds of processors still. You can still buy motherboards with 8 bit ISA slots even, although you’ll pay quite a premium.
But all of that kind of gear typically runs its own distro with an in-house build system. For example, my work uses a flavour of Buildroot for their embedded Linux systems and you can just set whatever processor type you like all the way back to plain old i386 when you build it.
“Oh, it’s got an embedded TIFF of the actual content. That explains it.”
Yes, I am quite old now.
If you occasionally boot to windows, it’s known to leave NICs in an unusable state if you just hibernate/quick power off. You need to boot back to windows and so a “proper” shutdown for it to come good.
Consider yourself corrected then. I’ve skimmed your comment history. Your go-to insult is “bootlicker” or alternatively, a simple clown emoji. In your comments you seem to provide very little context as to why you think that, it’s just, “I deem you to be a BOOTLICKER! Next!”
So maybe a little guidance for you:
The very, very, first thing you do when dealing with perceived propaganda - be it on mainstream media, online, or wherever - is to remove all the emotion and insults and see what’s left. You know what I see when I parse your comments like that? Very little.
Thus I conclude you have nothing of importance to say, and you become background noise that gets tuned out.
Actually your comments do have some small value. I check your bootlicker-comment-score and if it’s greater than 5, I know the community you posted in isn’t worth my time.
Techbros won’t let that happen, because they’re all terrified that consumers will just shut off all the AI being crammed into everything and all their money will evaporate.
