My house is fully off grid with a 36kW solar system and 86kWh battery setup. There are times where I can get down to the wire but ultimately that’s when it’s a prolonged rain /storm scenario.
The hotter it is the more likely the sun is shining, so I have zero concerns about a blackout situation. Realize this isn’t viable for most people but I sure am glad I took the plunge.
This timeline is great…
At least going Nebraska is like one large social distancing experience.
The US and Russia will do whatever they can to keep him in power
This article had some great timing lol
Putin playbook
I don’t see where this beats a comparable latest M-series chip.
Anyone beating Apple at this game would be significant news even if it consumes 25x the power.
There’s probably a reason why Apple or any offering thereof has zero mention here.
This helps out two groups: the military industrial complex and the Russians. Makes more sense than the current shit going on.
Just call it a special military operation lol.
Also this
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, relations took a downturn during Yair Lapid’s tenure as Prime Minister of Israel.[3][4] Relations improved after Netanyahu’s return as Prime Minister, although cooler than they were before the invasion.[5] Unlike many Western countries, Israel has maintained relations with the Kremlin, refused to impose sanctions against Russia, and rejected calls to send military aid to Ukraine.[6] Relations became strained during the Gaza war.[7] However, Russia did not send any military aid to Iran during the Iran-Israel war.[8] The Russian language is the third-most widely spoken first language in Israel after Hebrew and Arabic; Israel has the third-largest number of Russian speakers outside of the post-Soviet states and the highest as a proportion of the total population; in 2017 it was estimated that 1.5 million Israelis could speak Russian, which would amount to 17.25% of Israel’s population.[9][10] Over 100,000 Israeli citizens live in Russia,[11] with 80,000 of them living in Moscow,[12] while hundreds of thousands of Russian citizens live in Israel.[9]
Honestly, it is partly the case imo. I think we’ve just been watching the real time effects of “the dark forest anthology of the internet” playing out.
The well educated, insightful, and well informed were already the few… now most don’t bother to engage with large forum style discussion due to the lack of their counterparts and bots. Group chats and private servers are where these discussions are still happening but it’s just a way smaller audience. One where chucklefuck69 can’t just stroll into with ease and dilute the conversation.
I always just assume the comments are going to be low effort garbage and sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised they aren’t. The majority of the time it’s someone saying a single sentence after only reading a title…or someone going on an unhinged tangential rant (also after only reading a title).
This place will never be the old Reddit (pre 2010). It’s an unfortunate reality and the reason I generally stay away from the comments section.
Welcome to the post tiktok social media era.
Yeah but raising the collection age limit is likely the end result unfortunately.
Must have hit the pixel limit for the month.
Muscle memory and good practice. Also, an immediate reaction to a cookie wall for me.
Well of course. Which is why I mentioned it making a significant impact. Full offset wouldn’t be feasible without it being as large of a scope a the data center construction itself; not even considering storage requirements.
The unfortunate likelihood of projections (currently taking shape) being well understood, and accepted, at the time is extremely high.
It’s a win-win if you’re the owner of the server farm who had closed door discussions with the power company beforehand. I mean the citizens don’t win, but when has this ever been a concern?
If it was in their best interests financially, it would be included in the financial model before construction. My guess is that it was more appealing to just cut deals with various players.
When’s the last time you looked into this?
I just went fully off grid and I have a relatively large house and workshop.
The panels I used, which are great but aren’t the absolute best on the market come out to about 231W per sq. meter.
I have a 39kW system installed just for my house. It’s overkill, yeah but I plan for the future (telling the regional power monopoly to go fuck themselves for the next 30 years).
Covering one of these centers with solar would absolutely make a huge impact. Not only by providing power during the day but also with keeping the building cooler.
For reference, the panels I have (65 of), coupled with 100kWh battery bank.

This place needs a bot that automatically archives every link posted because most people are still painfully unaware of these tools:
Never ran any tests here but the difference is so stark that I never really considered it a need.
Kinda like when I switched from SoundCloud to Apple Music. I couldn’t go back to listening to the songs I had in my SC library because it was just noticeably worse.
I’m sure there are ways to rip high fi YouTube audio but the basic options I used in the past yielded results worse than avg SoundCloud quality.
Will say it’s been a few years since trying and I never had any paid for YouTube subscription, don’t even have an account. So, while it may be acceptable, I just never had a need and if I wanted to rip music, I’d be torrenting .flac files, not ripping .mp3s from YouTube
Can we ban msn articles. This cancer deserves no place anywhere.
