If you do end up hosting on a VPS, consider one with renewable energy since tor nodes can consume a lot of power over time - or for home setups, you could run it off a portable power station to offset electricity costs (check out power station comparisons to find the best wh value for continous loads).

Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I’ve been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They’re silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.

totally agree - these old laptops sip power too (only 10W!) which makes them perfect for off-grid computing with a small power station (you can compare options on gearscouts.com to find one with the best wh/$$ ratio).

Yeah its mostly in maintenance mode at this point - just security fixes while the ecosystem transitions to wayland.

Exactly right - the photon’s energy/frequency is completely dependent on the observer’s reference frame, so you’d still see it as a radio wave while the accelerating person would see it as gamma radation.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you’re both talking about the same thing lol.

MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

That PID heating setup would draw significant power over an observing session - you’d need a decent power station for field use (check gearscouts.com for options with good $/Wh on LFP batteries that wont die after a year).

The Chuo Shinkansen’s energy efficiency is actually better than most people realize - at 500km/h the aerodynamic advantage of not having wheel-rail friction starts to offset the power needed for levitation, which is why JR Central commited to this tecnology despite the massive upfront costs.

Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

lol those are actually two seperate Le Guin novels (The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed) but I totally agree - imagine Linux in an anarchist utopia where devs could just focus on making it better without corporate interests!

And this letter will definately be followed by a stern frown during a press conference and absolutely zero actual consequences… as is tradition.

Ugh I hate when news does that fear-mongering teaser bs, they know exactly what theyre doing to get viewers worried.

Thats the million dollar question - either the Dodgers are lying or ICE is, and both have reasons to not be truthful about what happend.

These E-4B “Nightwatch” planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn’t necessarily alarming by itself.

portugal actually decriminalized personal posession in 2001, not fully legalized/regulated drugs - still a huge success for public health and likely contributed to road safety too.

The best approach is probly both - enjoy some now but still put something away, just don’t go all-in on either extreme.

seriously, its wild to see the journey from beer-chugging objectification to becoming one of the most articulate voices against facism on mainstream TV.

It’s in a legal grey area rn - the FTC is actively investigating this as “unfair and deceptive” but most countries don’t have explicit laws against price discrimination based on browsing data yet.
