Rather that individuals setting up or seeking out an instance, I could see institutes whose members produce content using it, but they’d have to really care about avoiding YouTube. Blender foundation is an example, and they have a peer tube instance, but maybe universities, nonprofits, or research institutions.
There’s not exactly a shortage of things that don’t work well on Linux, but Bluetooth problems seem unfair to pin on it. Bluetooth doesn’t work anywhere.
You’re saying that states shouldn’t uphold the law.
Haha, “bothered to upgrade”. What upgrade?
You like this episode of Futurama. Would you also like to watch this episode of Futurama?
I suspect the reasoning here is going to not be obvious so some people so I’ll add a little. Heat pumps are more efficient when there’s a larger difference between where they’re getting heat and where they’re putting it. I’m going to call this difference a gradient, because otherwise later I’ll be saying “differences of differences” which gets confusing. The argument here is that moving heat from compartmentalized 90 degrees server room to outside at 95 degrees with a separate system for the house, moving from 75 degrees to 95 degrees, would be more efficient than a single heat pump moving air from the mixed rooms at 80 degrees to 95 outside.
The magnitude of that effect would depend on how nonlinear the relationship between efficiency and the gradient is. I’m not very familiar with that. I assume it’s nonlinear, but whether it’s highly nonlinear from a gradient of 5 to a gradient of 20. From here, it’s quite nonlinear from a gradient of 25 to 40, but from 5 to 20 it’s pretty linear: https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=heat pump effeciecy vs temperature gradient#id=598B80C1EB5A721C392964CB7708512FC496B78F
This also doesn’t consider that these are operated with thermostats. Presumably someone is going to set all of the thermostats to the same temperature, 75 degrees or whatever the preference is. The gradient at which the pumps start will be the same in all cases, and the difference will be in how often the pumps run. There will differences in the average efficiency because of the time difference, but it’s by no means obvious to me that there would be a significant benefit for a typical home. I would want some clear evidence before spending money on this.
Edit: I said they’re more efficient when there’s a larger gradient, but I should have said the efficiency depends on the size and direction of the gradient. When the gradient is positive, it’s less effecient. Overall, the conclusion is the same. It’s dubious that, for this case, using two heat pumps with compartmentalized rooms provides a tangible benefit over a single pump with mixing.
Heat pumps are great, but what this guy is saying is wrong. Generating heat in the thing you’re trying to cool won’t help save any money no matter the technology.
Let’s say you were deliberately trying to heat something and cool something else, like a water heater and your home. Then heat pumps are doubly effective. Maybe that’s where the confusion in this comment stems from, but that’s not what’s going on with a data center.
I thought about making a comment and decided it didn’t matter, but skeezix gave me the opportunity to do it indirectly.
BSD and Linux are offshoots of Unix.

Am I blind? I don’t even see where it names the study. It just says Pew, who publishes many studies. Does medium expect me to search for their sources?
Yeah, the color scheme is the real clue there. It’s pretty subtle what their viewpoint is.
How do you think this works? Yes, Meta will partake in the Fediverse. No one is trying to stop that. That chart won’t get to 100% and no one cares if it does. People are just ensuring that there’s a place where Meta won’t be, and you don’t need billions to do that.
Man, this is why my work laptop does that. It is an all around POS so I chalked this problem up to that. I didn’t know that MS deliberately broke sleep. With this knowledge I’ve learned how to go back to regular sleep.
All airplanes are jetliners.
If I’m in the mood for better sound quality I do. Bluetooth has noticably poorer quality on anything but the worst equipment.
I also use the headphone jack when I don’t want to deal with the inexplicably still not addressed after decades terrible Bluetooth connectivity issues.
Yeah, someone complained that they have funds to operate for 100 years. First, I doubt that if you account for inflation. Second, it’s one of the most valuable resources ever created. I hope it lasts at least 100 years.
Wood is already stronger than glass. If you read the article, what they say make sense, but this title is silly.
It’s completely fine for me on FF mobile.
This is an article describing someone impersonating an officer and submitting a fake warrant. It’s incredible that Verizon fell for it, but what does it have to do with SMS?
