You've got a payphone you're trying to setup? That's awesome! I've always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.

Currently I got hold of an old 1950's wall-mounted rotary phone and it's hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.

As a Trekkie, I'd be more mad about that ending than the series finale of ENT. And if the Xenomorph finale turned out to be a holodeck program, I would probably hate it even more lol.

Not throwing shade. As a standalone story, I'd read it. But I would be livid if it was the actual finale to TNG.

Also, Strange New Worlds kind of did that with the Gorn.

SpoilerRIP Henner :(

Only if it's the "no sugar added" BBQ sauce lol. Otherwise it's just spicy ketchup.

I think most people would refuse apple pie covered in ranch dressing, too.

I did phrase that poorly, lol, but I know people who probably would consider that a delicacy 🤮

You're not alone. I also don't care for ketchup on anything. Though I have dipped fries in BBQ sauce, so maybe that's equally gross.

Corrosion is definitely a red flag, but that looks like just surface corrosion. Just from the picture, it doesn't look deep, but it would need to be removed from the breaker and inspected to be sure.

If the issue is "downstream" of the meter, then it's 100% the property owner's problem. Unfortunately, the only options you have are to hire an electrician yourself or keep prodding your landlord until they take responsibility.

And you're going to honestly believe a mod's reasoning at face-value?

Irrelevant. As a literate human being, I can click on your username and see your submissions. I can search the alt they listed and read those submissions. And, finally, I can look at those and arrive at the conclusion that both of those seem like trolling and the same person.

Now that you've been sufficiently fed, I bid you adieu with my handy dandy block button.

You mean this post that's not removed? https://kbin.melroy.org/m/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world/t/1316788

(Edit: Fixed wrong post link. That link was to this post 🤦)

Looks like a cromulent, albeit absolute shit, opinion to me. So far so good (using that phrase loosely). BUT... you seem to have behaved very asshole-ish in the comments.

And the modlog says Trolling and Ban Evasion and listed another alt with a similar post history to yours that was also banned for trolling and hasn't posted since your account was created. 🤔

So, maybe instead of whinging you do some self reflection, yeah?

If nothing else, this meme at least made me go hug my dog.

Uh......good question.

Yep, that's why I haven't messed with Kubernetes either; way overkill for a homelab and especially so since I downsized due to soaring electricity costs here.

The only reason I gave up on Docker Swarm was that it seemed pretty dead-end as far as being useful outside the homelab. At the time, it was still competing with Kubernetes, but Kube seems to have won out. I'm not even sure Docker CE even still has Swarm. It's been a good while since I messed with it. It might be a "pro" feature nowadays.

Edit: Docker 28.5.2 still has Swarm.

Still, it was nice and a lot easier to use than Kubernetes once you wrapped your head around swarm networking.

A little TNG + Eurotrip crossover.

 

It's broadly understood that electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly than their counterparts that burn only gasoline. And yes -- that includes the impact of manufacturing batteries and generating power to charge them. But even then, such generalizations gloss over specifics, like which EVs are especially eco-friendly, not to mention where. The efficiency of an electric car varies greatly depending on ambient temperature, which is less compromising for gas-burning vehicles.

We now have the data and math to answer these questions, courtesy of the University of Michigan. Last week, researchers there released a study along with a calculator that allows users to compare the lifetime difference in greenhouse gas emissions of various vehicle types and powertrains from "cradle to grave," as they say. That includes vehicle production and disposal, as well as use-phase emissions from "driving and upstream fuel production and/or electricity generation," per the university itself.

What's more, these calculations can be skewed by where you live. So, if I punch in my location of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I can see that my generic, pure-ICE "compact sedan" emits 309 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent (gCO2e) per mile. A compact hybrid would emit 20% less; a plug-in hybrid, 44% less; and an EV with a 200-mile range, a whopping 63% less. And, if I moved to Phoenix, the gains would be even larger by switching to pure electric, to the tune of a 79% reduced carbon impact.

And this is AFTER I went in and disabled smart features and remove it as an app.

 

Ordered a set of rechargeable AA batteries and charger. They're well reviewed and a decent brand. Specifically wanted the charger since it has USB input rather than 120v so I could top the batteries off from my laptop / power bank as they'll be used for my wireless KB/mouse. The product description only said "USB input" and didn't specify what flavor. Being 2025, you expect USB-C.

Received them today, and they use micro USB input. Now I have to keep yet another cable in my bag. Day mildly ruined.

 
 
 

Made my 50th loaf of bread today in the bread machine. Store-bought bread averages about $2.50 a loaf, so 50 loaves would be $125. Bread machine cost $100 and I figure the flour and other ingredients for those was well under $25.

Here's to 50 more loaves of fresh baked bread.

 

I've heard it pronounced both "Dave-Iss" and "Davey's". I don't hear the names often but I see them regularly and never know how to pronounce them. The only one I'm sure about is Alan Davies (Dave-Iss) because of QI.

 

Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.
