I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

Ed: why the downvote?

It’s our modern diet of refined sugar and plenty more that harms teeth

It’s somewhat within our control to do something about it

I expect they are using LFP which isn’t fire prone.

Fortunately energy density is not nearly the concern with boats and trains as it is with cars.

And agreed, the modular batteries are a nice touch.

I expect they are using LFP which doesn’t do that.

Fortunately energy density is not a concern with boats.

Ok then up your circus skills!

Or if you’re not ready to run away and join, these solder seal heat shrink connectors are a good choice:

Maybe up your soldering game. A proper connection will be solid.

And know that solder shouldn’t be used for structural support. Especially for anything that moves or is subject to vibration, etc.

Thanks but looking for offline solutions

It took a bite out of solar, too!

FYI ripping wise, FLAC is the way to go.

And there are guides to using EAC and similar ripping software to get perfect rips.

Well worth the effort to do it once and perfectly.

Seems pretty cherry picked. From the Wapo regarding Twitter:

But the study doesn’t go so far as to say that Russia had no influence on people who voted for President Donald Trump.

It doesn’t examine other social media, like the much-larger Facebook.

Nor does it address Russian hack-and-leak operations. Another major study in 2018 by University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson suggested those probably played a significant role in the 2016 race’s outcome.

Lastly, it doesn’t suggest that foreign influence operations aren’t a threat at all.

It is.

And it is a representation of a comment.

And Dadaism was the movement.

Qbittorrent or Rutorrent has some kind of extension to allow single private file sharing

Or can a private magnet link accomplish this?

Good one. And Lenovo battery management utility allows setting the state of charge level. Set it for 50% and the battery will last mostly forever.

Interesting. I’ve originally heard it loosely attributed as a kind of homophone aberration where ‘ham’ comes from ‘hamature’. But maybe it’s vice-versa, or that’s a corporate line from the organization ARRL Amateur Radio Relay League.

How safe is adguard? DNS needs to be trusted.

As we say, Not with that attitude

It is a tough problem and I promise infinite wealth and 69 virgins to whoever gets it going

Russian and Chinese trolls certainly don’t want to see it happen

We need to use AI to root out disinformation. Whoever figures that out gets a gold star.

Coaxial vacuum tubes allow solar light energy in through the vacuum but the heat energy can’t escape that way. The center conductor is black and a heat pipe to heat the water.

Super duper efficient

Ed: also regarding a black container not vacuum isolated, the heat energy will be lost to the environs just as fast and efficiently as it is absorbed. Ref: Black Body Radiation
