Funny, LLMs actually gave me the time and energy to move forward with a lot of my personal projects. It’s a lot more fun when I don’t have to lose time investigating why some component doesn’t work, or build oauth for the gazillionth time

For sure, we need to get landlords to install EV chargers in all parkings too. We’ll probably need legislation for this.

I kinda doubt the genuineness of the question given the comment about telemetry… I’ll be the first to admit that these things are a privacy nightmare, but that’s a problem with ALL modern cars, not just EVs. It just so happens that most EVs are modern cars, but they’re not necessarily worse than your random off-the-shelf 2026 Nissan Rogue.

Still, genuine answer: Haven’t done that many roadtrips where I’ve needed to charge more than once, actually. But my car can easily leave now and go 2-3 hours at highway speed without stopping. Make that 3-4 hours if I set it to charge at 100% the night before (in case of a planned roadtrip), as I usually only charge it to 80% to preserve battery life. Not sure how many miles that is as I’m to lazy to do the conversion, but this is why I use “hours at highway speed” as a metric.

A good resource to look at the various scenarios specific to your situation / area would be ABRP.

You misunderstand. The roadtrip planning, at least in my EV, is all handled by the car itself. I just punch in my destination and go. It figures out where I need to stop to charge, for how long, etc. When I’m stopped charging, the “time remaining until full enough” is prominently displayed in the car itself as well as in the app, and I get notified (in the car and in the app) that my car is ready to continue. All that time I also have a (very accurate) estimate of how much charge I’ll have remaining once I reach the next stop.

There’s no guesswork, the car figures it out on its own, and I can tweak it however I want.

Also, the actual experience refueling is horrible compared to charging: When fueling I have to stand outside in the cold, breathing noxious fumes while being blasted with loud adverts from the machine… Then I get inside to pay, and if I want to grab a snack, coffee or go to the bathroom, I know that I’m not making progress towards my destination during that time so I’m kind of in a hurry.

Charging, you just park, plug, and let the car do its thing. You know you have 10 minutes to kill anyway, so you do the same things knowing that your car is doing something productive in the meantime. The vast majority of the time, the car is done before me anyway. It’s just a lot more relaxing honestly.

But all this is something I do what, at most once a month with my car? Day-to-day is done with home charging, where I get home, plug in, and the car is full the next time I need it. No more stressing about running late but finding out you need to stop to refuel, etc.

All in all, I find my EV experience to be WAY less stressful / annoying than my gas car. Just yesterday, we did a small family trip about 2 hours away with the gas car (the EV doesn’t fit the whole family sadly), and on the way back we found out gas prices had jumped 15¢ / liter during the day, thanks to Trump’s war… With an EV the price stays a lot more stable over time.

Not to full, you never charge to full on a fast charger… You charge enough to continue with your trip, which, yes, takes about 10-15 minutes in my real-world experience. I’ve also timed my fueling stops in my gas car, and they also take at least 10 minutes if I have to pee, grab some coffee, etc.

I’m one of these people. Simple answer? It’s the documentation. I’ve given k8s an honest try, but it honestly feels like the “draw the rest of the fucking owl” meme, starts way basic then gets wayy too hard without explaining anything in between.

Meanwhile docker is 1 file, 1 command to get started.

Edit: I just realized you were talking about k3s, not k8s. Is that something different somehow? Google says it’s a “k8s” distribution? WTF would that be?

No, it’s pretty hard to get rid of heat in space, vacuum is a very good insulator. The only way is radiation.

Here in Canada, I recently took a big stumble while snowboarding, and my ankle hurt a lot. I went to the emergency room at the nearest hospital, got X-rays, and they confirmed I had broken my left inner malleolus. They referred me to the specialist clinic, and sent me home with a boot and crutches.

Next Monday, the specialist clinic tell me to show up the next morning (so on Tuesday). I waited pretty much the whole morning for the specialist to see me, he confirmed he needed to operate and put 2 screws in my ankle. The surgery happened later that evening.

Got a follow up 2 weeks later to remove the cast / surgery bandages, more X-rays and they put me back in the boot until the next follow-up a month later, after which I’ll probably start physiotherapy.

All of this cost me about 4$ in EV charging while I was at the ER, and maybe 20$ in medication (painkillers and Tylenol)? And I don’t think it could’ve been any faster. People love to shit on our healthcare system here, but in my experience it’s been amazing.

Honest question: were the other events filmed like Rene’s killing was? My hypothesis is that’s it’s more about the available footage of the incident than the victim’s demographics… But the USA is racist as fuck so I could be wrong.

Yeah, my boss told he’s under pressure from upper management and customers to add AI in our app. His answer is always “to do what?”. So far, nobody has provided an answer, but whenever we get one we’ll be happy to implement it.

These are still right-handed. The blades need to be crossed the other way for left-handed scissors. Making an ambidextrous scissor is physically impossible.

They’re crossed the other way around. Ambidextrous scissors do not exist

I bought one the other day that wasn’t even that, it was literally translated by Google translate. It was so bad, I had to translate the French text word-for-word into English before it made sense.

At least they still make minivans, everybody else stopped making them in favour of these ugly-ass “SUV” which are worse in every aspect except towing… There are only 4 options on that market now (well, five if you count the Pacifica separately from the Voyager/Grand Caravan, but it’s more of a trim difference, so let’s say 4.5)

pass probably isn’t for you then, unless you find a wrapper or something that lets you put all in one file. I’ve switched to keepassxc as well, I could never get the browser integration to work with pass.

No, only the file contents are encrypted. The file names and folder structure is visible to anyone who has access to the files.

The files themselves can contain a ton of stuff if you want, but the convention is to put the password on the first line and that’s what “pass -c my/file” will copy.

Running a bunch of services here on a i3 PC I built for my wife back in 2010. I’ve since upgraded the RAM to 16GB, added as many hard drives as there are SATA ports on the mobo, re-bedded the heatsink, etc.

It’s pretty much always ran on Debian, but all services are on Docker these days so the base distro doesn’t matter as much as it used to.

I’d like to get a good backup solution going for it so I can actually use it for important data, but realistically I’m probably just going to replace it with a NAS at some point.

Docker’s secret that most “getting started” tutorials seem to miss is docker-compose.yml. Who wants to type these long-ass commands to start containers? I always just create a compose file, and then docker compose up -d.

Dockerfile is for developers, you shouldn’t need more than a docker-compose.yml for self-hosting stuff.
