George Takei is on Mastodon and has been for years, surely he would have done something.

Their expectations are too low, heaps of high scores

46.0/50. I remember colors better than I remember names. Come at me. https://dialed.gg/?c=EFGTXX

As the real estate agent said, Location Location Location, and we’re right next to the airport! It will be very convenient if we have to fly one day.

So how long until it’s small enough to power a Pip-boy?

I got a kobo recently and was amazed to find you can sync it with calibre-web to basically run your own book store. Browse and download any books from your server. Pretty cool.

Ah right, that makes sense!

I could have sworn I read this announcement a couple of months ago.

Your instance would have private/public keys for communicating with other instances. By changing software, all that is gone, and you might find other instances rejecting your federation activities, this is doubly true if you used the same username, because they would already have a record of that user with a different public key.

I’d suggest using a subdomain or a new domain, re-using a domain for a different Fediverse server is likely to have issues. A subdomain would be treated as a different domain so would be fine.

This is also something to know for a different scenario: taking your lemmy instance and changing the domain but keeping the content is likely to break federation as well.

Ok but for real, that wouldn’t work, right? How would them holding it complete the circuit? The circuit is just gonna be from one screw to the top of the pole back through another screw, not the part the person is holding.

Is that a normal place to put the cooler on intel systems?

Well I don’t know if dependent is the right word. I’m fully aware that Home Assistant is something I play with for fun.

I can check the app and see how much power my solar has generated today, how hot my water heater is, or see what temperature it is inside or outside. None of that is helpful for anything other than for fun.

Though it can do thinks like automaticaly bump up the target temperature of my hot water when the solar is making too much power in order to store that energy as heat, which is pretty cool (and might save me money).

What can I say, this is some people’s idea of fun. I got security cameras (that I can view through home assistant) and put them not pointed at entryways or windows because I don’t care about security, I pointed them at areas where the dog is and the kids play so I can play with object and facial recognition, all locally processed.

It’s ok to not think it’s your idea of fun, but if anyone uses home assistant in a way that they rely on rather than just for the fun of playing with the technology then I’d love to hear what that use is!

Yeah, I didn’t think about this before but I guess you need to be careful if you have water from a bore hole. I didn’t realise that safe distance was only 30m! But I’m also under the impression that septic systems are quite carefully designed, not just a big hole soaking blackwater into the ground.

Everyone I know on septic systems gets their water from rainwater (something we get a lot of here) so contamination isn’t a problem.

Interesting! They make a good point that you normally have most of the infrastructure needed because you’re already treating wastewater. They mention a couple of additional things thatmight happen before reintroducing into the drinking water system but all in all it does sound pretty feasible!

Now I know what to search for, I found this. It seems it’s not that common yet but there is growing interest in it. Interestingly Oregon isn’t mentioned.

I guess the difference is that it’s presumably quite diluted by the river, rather than directly feeding waste water back to the drinking water pipe.

I don’t even send one to my significant other/partner/spouse.

Well I was thinking there’s a big difference between what is safe to release into the environment (solids removed, UV treated to kill germs, maybe some other stuff) vs safe drinking water. But I guess waste water is mostly just water - not mostly urine. So maybe it’s not as big of a gap as I assumed. After all, they pump water in from rivers and lakes for filtering and treatment before putting it in the pipes, maybe it isn’t that big of a difference after all?

We are, but even simply desalinating water is very expensive last I heard. To turn sewage into drinking water sounds like it would be even more expensive. I know they drink recycled pee on the ISS but that’s cheaper than launching water up all the time.

Woah, they take wastewater and turn it into drinking water? Is that common? I would have thought it would be cost prohibitive.

Nothing says they have a successful AI product as much as needing your staff to work 70 hour weeks. Shouldn’t AI startups be advertising how their staff are so efficient they only work 10 hours a week but do their full performance?

You may be misunderstanding how thing work.

Average people create their own communities. Those people control those communities. You can make a community for cars, and if someone poats about busses you can remove the post. The person who makes a community is the one that controls it.

It has nothing to do with the platform, you are just posting in a community run by people who don’t want that kind of post there. So pick a different community? And read the side bar before you post.

Piefed operates the same way.
