  • honestly it wouldn't be so bad if you just reworked it a little...

    except honestly it looks better a little deep fried and with drop shadows and more text size variation and shit, but I couldn't be bothered

    Is it a reasonable expectation to check peoples profiles when commenting on their comments to ensure I am pronouning them correctly?

    Jump

  • my recollection is that they wouldn't accept that one. I read through the old github discussions at one point when trying to get into contributing code. They claimed it was basically too anglo-centric and not generalizable to all languages and that therefore they'd only accept a more expansive/generic user tagging/flairing feature or something like that (which could then also be used for pronouns)

  • lemmy or lemmygrad both have Mali domain names, decent place to regroup if they aren't taken down at the same time. I think the hosting provider is the same though. Hoping the admins in charge of the infra and with access to that account aren't US-based though

  • an astonishing amount of the time just disabling javascript entirely works great. It just worked for me today on a local news article with a slightly above average tenacity paywall and a long tumblr post trying to force me to make an account. I love ublock origin, just click the little script icon, refresh, and done.

    my go to is still firefox reader mode out of habit but its kinda janky, similar to many of the hacks recommended in the OOPs (often requires an additional refresh, or timing it to get into reader mode before the paywall loads, noscript is probably better

    but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. I just haven't been able to find any evidence of it

  • I have no idea what purpose this serves beyond the obvious of gauging the reaction of a person to different political leanings

    generating reports to justify deleting or shadowbanning the content? not sure if that would really work, idk

  • Help on an Inverter/Generator pair for a semi-off-grind Cabin :) (USA)?

    Jump

  • you could just have a big AC transfer switch that you throw or cable you plug to switch to generator or grid power. If you're trying to build this from easy off the shelf components that's going to be easier than trying to use the same inverter for both generator operation and solar, IMO.

    3-way transfer switches seem to be uncommon, so probably expensive. I found this industrial one: https://www.psicontrolsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Salient-MTSTB-Brochure.pdf . Just wire one input to grid, one input to generator, one input to inverter.

    other, maybe easier, but less elegant way to do it is probably to feed the house from a big 50 amp RV style plug-in, and then just have a cable coming from each that you can swap between. If you're gonna do that you probably want breakers on both sides of the connection, at least for the solar setup and definitely grid inputs (generator you can just shut off I suppose).

    Whatever you do its important to design it such that you physically can't connect two different AC sources to each other. You only ever want to be on one at a time. That's why you can't just use 3 plain old breakers (you could accidentally throw them in the wrong order and blow things up), that's what transfer switches are for, but that's not the only way to accomplish it.

    this product line from bluetti is basically exactly what you're asking for and handles most of what you want for sure (not 100% sure about generator but you could add a transfer switch before or after the bluetti even if it has no special provision for it), and I assume there are probably similar products from cheaper off-brands, or you can always DIY a similar system with a bunch more effort: https://www.bluettipower.com/pages/ep800. Starts at like $6k but that's for almost 10kWh of storage and 7.6kW inverter with automatic failover, and it would probably qualify for a 30% tax incentive

  • fwiw people are totally out there, even among the libs, that at least give half a shit, or have already given up on the dems. I had a friend come to me last winter, concerned that their (at the time new) SO was on the "fuck biden I aint voting for that old whiteremoved" train, and I had the distinct pleasure of telling them she was right, voting dem does essentially nothing. I was nice about it but like... yeah, good, okay, she sounds based

  • For the record, I hate the institution of the police. But, I do not think every single cop is a bastard. To say they all are, is imo, stooping to their level of profiling. Some of the detectives I met seemed to be genuine penis man fans.

  • Yep. This is how LGBT people in the US are cowed to the dems. With fear. With browbeating arguments to "safety" that never seems to materialize (and comes at the expense of the safety of others).

    And it works because there genuinely are threats. Hate crimes, etc.

    But its always the most comfortable members of the community that place their safety over solidarity. That's what kept me aligned, even before I read much theory, was seeing the absolute most beaten down people in society be the most eager to put themselves on the line when they were able to provide aid to others, or make a change or a statement. If they can do it what's my excuse?
