  • It's easier to manage since you don't need to deal with dependencies, and it can in theory be more secure if you do it correctly.

  • Holy fuck that was a terrible listen

  • Yeah, unless you have really jacked-up wiring (like, really bad), then the worst that would happen is tripping the breaker. But I don't think you'll pull enough amps to do that with this setup alone. Is there anything else using a lot of power on this breaker?

  • Can you describe these "crimes"? Have you considered not eroding personal privacy rights for everyone just because you don't know how to enable parental controls?

  • Maybe it's hard to be a parent today?

    Jump

  • I will 100% blame parents who would decide to erode personal privacy rather than be bothered to talk to their children and enable parental controls.

  • Have you tried talking to your kids and enabling parental controls?

  • Eroding personal privacy to "save the kids" instead of just enabling a network filter. Better yet, we could require internet filter options on all routers sold in the US. But this parent would rather have everyone lose their rights to internet privacy so that they don't have to do the hard work of enabling parental controls themselves.

  • We literally have the infrastructure to do so. Have you heard of internet filters on home routers? Parental controls? On some, it's literally a checkbox, and is advertised on the box as an option.

  • It'll probably only draw a couple hundred watts, even if substantially full. The real thing to tackle here is heat. It will definitely warm up your room.

    Source: I have a 26 drive array and it only draws around 350 W with all drives spinning during parity check. Usually they aren't all spinning though, and it goes down to around 220 W idle. That's with an Epyc 7702 and a 25GB nic as well.

  • Which initiatives? The only one I can think of is the one for natural gas hookups, but I could be missing one.

    I've noticed that you seem to hate living in WA, every comment you make about it is hating on it in some way. You've even claimed that blue states deserved raids by ICE because they have gun control. Look at all of your comments in the Washington community: they're mostly anti-legislature, hating on WA voters, or blaming anyone besides the rich (Brian Heywood) when ballot initiatives don't work out. Why do you live here if you hate it so much? There are plenty of nearby states that are cheaper to live in and do not have the democratic supermajority that you hate so much.

  • Magnificent irony as Meta staff unhappy about running surveillance software on work PCs

    Jump

  • Meta tried to recruit me several times, even after I told them that I'd never work for them. They offer decent salaries, but it's not enough for me to forget morality. I don't understand why people work there.

  • Should I replace my existing hot water system (oil burner) with a hybrid heat pump?

    Jump

  • Sure, YMMV. But I replaced an oil fired furnace with one. Back in 2021, I had to spend about $900-1000 every three or so months in the winter. My heat pump comes out to about ~$60 a month, or $180 for the same timeframe at the same time of year. My area has relatively cheap hydro @ ~$0.15/kWh (USD) and it was a no-brainer. Even if my electric was $0.60/kWh, it would still have been cheaper in the long run. Note that I only have one of course, so it's different than your setup, but mine is also a Mitsubishi.

    I can't imagine what it would cost to fill my oil fired furnace tank these days. After doing some research, it seems that heating oil prices in my area are around $5.90(!), meaning to fill my 500 gallon tank, it would be nearly $3,000. Of course, I never ran it empty, but it would still have been around $2k these days.. for three or so months. That's insanity. The heat pump has already paid for itself multiple times over by this point.

    It's important to note that while they sure do use a lot of electricity, they're extremely efficient. In most cases, they can double (or triple) the amount of heat energy output than energy consumed. Resistive electric heating can't do that, neither can natural gas, oil, or any other form of whole home heating (except maybe if you're lucky enough to have geothermal heating, but it could be argued that geothermal is also a form of heat pump).

  • Came to learn how to Blender, left because the "creative" in charge is yet another MAGAt.

    Jump

  • To be clear (because I was confused at first), the creator in this context is an instructor of an online blender class, not a contributor to blender itself.

  • Should I replace my existing hot water system (oil burner) with a hybrid heat pump?

    Jump

  • These days, they make heat pumps that work in freezing conditions. Plus, a lot of the heat pump water heaters have the heat pump directly on top of the unit, so if your water heater is in conditioned or semiconditioned part of your house, it shouldn't ever reach temperatures where it runs into inefficiencies.

    Heat pumps are some of the only appliances that have more than 100% efficiency. They're practically magic, and I think everyone that can afford them should get them. Of course, for house heating, you should still have a backup furnace (my heat pump has an electric backup)
