It’s bound to happen, right. However, it’s a thing I have to learn how to deal with and I’m pretty certain I’m going to finish that process as a different person.

Interestingly, being there at the bed wasn’t that hard. It was just the right thing to do and I would always want to be there again.

The part where I’m missing him hard is when I feel like picking up the phone because something good happened but then I realize, no, not today, not tomorrow either, never again.

Yep. I held my father’s hand when he died. When it was over I hugged him and told him we’d be okay on our own now and that we’d manage.

I was mostly right. Mostly. The waves came and went and I thought I’d be over the worst - but now, a year later I sometimes miss the guy with a pain that feels like it will never end in that moment.

I planted a tree and put a bench under it at the end of a small valley where I now own some meadows and where we used to go together and chop firewood. When it gets too bad I take my dog up there and sit down and tell my dad what’s going on.

That is what I did and what I do. I accept that duty the moment I begin to take care of them as a young puppy or rescue.

The severity of the problem depends on external factors:

• do you live in a dry and salt-free environment? No problem.
• did the maker of your car implement disc wiping as a precaution? No problem.
• did the maker of your car implement intermittent brake blending during recuperation? No problem.
• is your car less driven in wet and salty conditions and then always store in a dry, warm garage? No problem.
• does your car have drumsin the rear and near-undersized discs in the front? Less of a problem.

I drive an electric vehicle and the unfortunate reality is, that brakes that are large enough for an emergency stop get underutilized during everyday, regenerative braking. So they rust.

My solution is: Every time I get back to our village in wet weather, I accelerate hard on the last long straight and brake hard to almost a standstill once. No more brake trouble, all four rotors squeaky clean, but any measuring device would write me up as the biggest idiot on the roads out there.

Ich glaub, das angegammelte war auch nicht das Problem in dem Artikel. Das offen rechtsradikale und ein bisschen stehengebliebene wars.

und damit in den Sonnenuntergang schippern

Aber nicht mit dem Tretboot dann, woll.

Ich mein, die Idee ist nicht dumm - wenn deine Stadt ein Moloch ohne irgendwelchen Platz in der Mitte ist oder krasse Höhenunterschiede hat.

Eh - YT music (premium) offers 256kB-ish Opus now. That’s on par with 320kBps MP3.

YT Music Premium delivers 256kBit/s Opus now, Deezer delivers FLAC.

Meine Güte ist das alt, da hab ich ja damals schon meine Grundausbildung Metal mit gemacht. Und ich hab ein Haus. Und einen Bausparvertrag, nur mal so fürn Kontext.

Wenn es um vierrädrige Kraftfahrzeuge zwischen 425kg und 3500kg ohne bauartbedingte Höchstgeschwindigkeit geht versteht der durchschnittliche Fedditor keinen Spaß!

During the gold rush, shovel manufacturers had a steady income.

Boah, kurzer Arbeitnehmerrant: Egal wo man hinkuckt die gleiche Scheisse. Wieso akzeptieren wir das eigentlich? Das macht doch auch was mit Leuten wenn sie dauernd das geforderte Pensum nicht schaffen.

Ich behaupte, ein gut geführter Betrieb muss es hinbekommen, dass Arbeitnehmer so etwa gegen Freitag 16:00 den Eindruck haben, dass die Woche erledigt ist. Das fühlt sich zufriedenstellend an.

Ihr habt doch bestimmt eine interne IT. Mach denen ein paar Tickets dafür auf und schick ihnen die Rolle zu.

I don’t know where you are

Germany, 3-phase, 400V to the home is pretty much the standard here.

We use split-phase, where we have two 120v lines that use a common neutral

Yeah, yeah, I know. It was frustrating in the beginning of electric cars - all the manufacturers put those single phase chargers into their cars because US and Asia just didn’t need anything else and we were left bumbling along at 4.2kW charging to avoid too much asymmetric load (most providers here limit you to 20A asymmetry although I’ve been known not to give a fuck) while two wonderfully capable phases sat around doing nothing and the third was only used half the way at most.

This is really where smart appliances should be heading.

Yeah, that looks interesting, although it’s unusual to see any “intelligence” delegated to the panel housing. Usually here, the panel cabinet is something like this:

…which is a mechanical housing and some very basic distribution on the lower left. Everything else is built while the distributor is fitted. Look like this in the end:

Anyway, you can get this functionality right now, for example with a go-e wallbox and the go-e controller and retrofit it without touching the rest. That’s not really a reason not to get an electric car.

Dunno. I’ve got 3 phase, 400V, 100A service which results in 68kW useable. However, because one of sub junction boxes which, unfortunately the wall boxes are connected to is wired internally with 10mm², I’ve enabled peer to peer load management across my wallboxes for now so they never pull more than 28A per phase. Most cars here support three phase charging so that’s still fine even for two cars. I’ll get to rewiring that, for now it works.

The go-e wallboxes I have support a central controller which in turn can measure current on all three phases into the home, e.g. to use a solar system to its maximum, but also to limit absolute load on the house connection. They just use three hall sensors for power measurement as far as I know, so installation is relatively unintrusive.

I went without that and solved the whole solar optimization using EVCC and regarding absolute load I’m just yoloing it, but then again, I do have a neat safety margin.

100A*240V is 24kW. I don’t know what else you’re doing, but a 7.2kW car on board charger is well within that.

I’ve got some vservers and some block storage at hosters in a different country and I terminate a VPN tunnel there from yet another country. Storage is LUKS encrypted and VMs are configured to halt hard automatically in case of certain triggers that hint towards hypervisor side fuckery.

It’s not bullet proof, but it’s fire and forget, basically seed boxes where I’ve split knowledge further.

I used this as an exercise in provider agnostic deployment and I’m mainly hosting archive.org torrents that can use some seeding there.
