  • I don’t remember the details but there were several occasions

    1. The sync UX was so confusing that I set it up and deleted things on a unimportant device to make some room and that deleted it everywhere without me realizing it for some time so I lost those things forever. This is where I switched file syning to Syncthing.
    2. I ran it basically without apps only for syncing caldav and carddav and it took so many resources on my server that it constantly brought down the whole vhost with all other unrelated services and the UI was so slow I could only use it through the API from desktop and mobile clients. I then switched to the lightweight Radicals and deleted NextCloud which made space to many new services on the little Hetzner vhost.

    I haven’t seen self hosting small instances prioritized by NextCloud, I think it probably works very well on a beefy server for a lot of users, similar to Lemmy, but for one user instances it seems to not be well supported.








  • I looked into it, it kind of works like a compressed air energy storage, with the difference that there is no oxygen and so on there so it’s easier to change the state of the CO2 to liquid and store it in tanks. Later they decompress it and turn a turbine.

    It’s also way saver than a storing hydrogen, because you just store it in liquid form at room temperature.

    But I really wonder if this can be scaled big enough to be useful. I heard my dad just talking about is now and it coming up in news and so on, but there are videos on YouTube about it which are 3 years old. So in 3 years what happened? If it’s really innovative why are people not building it and stealing their idea?

    When it comes to huge energy innovations from Italy I’m kind of sceptical, I remember years ago having to debate people about Andrea Rossi’s Energy Catalyzer who told me “You’ll see in 5 years once it’s deployed everywhere and revolutionizes how we make energy!”

    I’m still bitter about it because there was never a possibility to go back and reexamine this claims 5 years later, because I’m not meeting those people anymore.

    I’m rooting for it, but is seems to simple of an idea to not have been thought of before or at least with other things which we store as liquids while they are gases at normal pressure like propane or other LPG.




  • Haha, yeah, although some of my hobbies slowed down a lot since I got a family. Small children really take up a lot of time.

    Today for example the 2.5 years old ate a lot of potato’s and schnitzel without really chewing. Then he drank a ton of milk after dinner. While his big sister already went to bed at 21:30 he was still jumping on the bed at 22:00 und suddenly he puked out everything on the bed. So we had to clean RhE bed, the floor, him and us, was everything, shower etc.

    Now it’s 23:00 and he is still excited about it and is singing in the freshly made bed instead of sleeping.

    Actually we wanted to watch a episode of some TV series bit now it’s way too late for this.
