A new Tesla and a Camry are about the same price, given the ICE taxes. So no, many people can’t afford cars, but actually the EVs are the affordable options.

In Oslo, the bus lanes on the highways are only accidentally available to EVs currently. They were open for years as a means to foster EV adoption. But once sales took off, the local government tightened the screws — you needed an EV and al

In Norway, there are plenty of cycling enthusiasts (for around-town transit, commuting, and exercise / fun) with all sorts of dietary approaches. I don’t think there’s any meaningful vegetarian / cycling correlation there.

Relatedly… a friend is looking for a power inverter for an otherwise-fine 2015 Leaf. Anyone here know where to source one?

PSA: it’s a link to Bryan Cantrill ranting about the Sun / Oracle acquisition. I couldn’t make it through 5 minutes of his ranting to get to an accurate summary of the joke though.

I plug my espresso machine into a smart socket, which I then switch on via an automation before I wake up, so the boiler is ready to go for me. I do the same thing with a dumb duct fan. Turns out smart sockets can cover a lot of ground in h

I’ve been using this for a couple years now, and absolutely love it. Thanks, team! I also love that it’s owned by the University of Aarhus, as I am more willing to trust academia with something that has a disturbing level of (client-side) a

I completely understand where they're coming from. Maintaining two separate search stacks for different user groups sounds like a nightmare. Multiply that by every feature that increases in complexity enough to bubble up on the cost-ce

It’s easier than that with the remarkable tablet — the device documents its current ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. But it’s several taps away, and then typing on the laptop keyboard, whereas USB is just a connector away. Plus, you need to charge

IME IP addresses handed out by my phone’s tethering mode aren’t stable, so it’s sorta more of a hassle than just fishing out the little cable and letting my script run. (The device assigns itself a stable IP address on the USB interface.) A

Firmware updates blow away any customizations. So you need to bootstrap things again after each update. Updates can be deferred, so the process isn’t too disruptive. Edit: oh, yeah I see what you’re getting at. That direction could work, an

I have scripted this (well, installation of some systemd units, but the workflow is the same). So I just plug my tablet into my laptop and run my script every time it updates. It’s not ideal, but not super tedious either. I’ve been planning

The linked article is about a study of mobile phone use, not proximity to a base station. I don’t know anything about base station technology, so can’t comment on the risks there, but I would imagine that the risk profile of holding an ante

I imagine the incentives here are to remove failure modes and weight, so perhaps the more-streamlined appearance is the result of a more-complex build that has fewer parts and weighs less.

Wow, that’s an insane fact. Right now, the internet says he’s got $232 billion. So he could lose $231.9 billion and still be really really rich.

Perhaps see if you can put together a department-focused bundle — something that can coexist with corporate VPN but be used for a 50-300 person team’s needs. Plenty of big orgs have small-company-scaled deployments within disparate teams, a

As a lay person, it seems like trains are pretty much always suited to electricity. Adding a power line alongside the existing right of way seems like it’s a pretty straightforward option. What are the conditions in which on-board power sto

3-4 services and a bunch of databases? Assuming there aren’t any particular scaling or performance requirements, if I were managing something like that, I would almost certainly not use k8s. Maybe systemd on a big box for the services?
