join some matrix room that you like and look around for people’s homeservers

it’s a type of heat engine. heat engines require temperature difference to work, and the lower it becomes, the less energy is there in the first place and a very fundamental limitation, that is carnot cycle efficiency, goes down very quickly. in practice, all heat exchangers have some thermal resistance, and the lower temperature gradient you can afford to use up on this, the bigger heat exchanger becomes, making low grade heat powerplants extremely big and expensive on top of barely generating any electricity

i don’t think there’s a lot of energy to be squeezed from daily variations in air temperature vs lake temperature, you’d be better off just by using solar panels on the same area

take any aluminum can, cut it open, cut a plate fitting in your wallet, insert it there so that it sits on external surface if your walket, done, that’s your yeehaw rfid blocking sleeve, extra mass 1g

if you want to scan bus pass you can put that card on external side of it

there’s nothing wrong with 3rd party batteries, if it’s worn down so badly that it no longer does the thing that it is supposed to then replace it, idk why it’s a question. I replace mine when they’re at 60% of original capacity

you need really spicy photons for activation to happen

in space you also have protons some with relatively high energy. most of these come from solar wind and also can cause activation

dude, people join irl face to face cults, of course they do

no no no no it’s on by default so it’s opt-out, and switch for that isn’t even implemented yet

apparently ww1 era british soldiers figured out that cordite works like amyl but shittier (more specifically, nitroglycerin part) https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/abaf/009c8713aadd8accbb03b2b40a93b5c3c77a.pdf

smokeless powder is, sort of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerin#Industrial_exposure

it’s hacky and wrong. or you could use different hardware, maybe from competition, because result isn’t worth electricity it used

gpus as used for genai aren’t really suitable for normal loads like aerodynamic simulations, genai uses low precision data like fp8, fp4, blackwells and such are optimized for it so hard that you can’t really do anything else on this thing

Tax reasons perhaps? In some countries ethanol with (certain kinds of) perfume mix can be taxed as denatured alcohol, otherwise some other kind of denaturant would be needed

yes you can do it and it’s so easy it sometimes happens accidentally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_the_mall_technique

strictly speaking you don’t need machines for it but if there is any that would be rightwing propaganda enterprise

btw did you know that zucc studied psychology? and that research on this would be maybe not the hottest shit by the time he studied, but at least well disseminated?

can you pull ethernet cable along power cables, wherever they are?

regular ethernet should work on this kind of distance, but it means digging

Mate do i have just the right thing for you, but it requires some soldering. It’s also probably cheapest solution working over longer range than you need

First you need two directional antennas. Use this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html the 13cm design specifically. Design of the dipole element is on another page https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/sbfa.html They’re using hard to get semirigid coax but you can really just use common RG178 with braid tinned to make it stiff. This way you don’t have to leave D section they way they did, you can just solder core to the shield at the end while preserving total length (or ~1-2 mm less, because wifi is slightly higher frequency; 53-52 mm total). That dummy cable thing can be just any stiff piece of wire. Good way to get this would be getting a pack of u.fl-SMA pigtails, which you can also use for connection.

You also don’t need special aluminum housing like they do, cookie tin of the right size would be sufficient, or any other container of similar nature. If you can’t weatherproof it, putting it inside on windowsill is also fine

Then, plug TL-WN722N into it, or some other single-antenna thing, and you’re set. This one connects over USB and has removable RPSMA antenna, so you can connect it easily with correct cable (SMA plug - RPSMA plug)

to your new directional antenna. This thing works well over 200m distance, provided clear line of sight, and probably more than that

in my country it used to be like this for 50 years, you get flat rate per day, counted up to fractions of day, separately for accomodation and food + everything else. you only have to keep transportation tickets

behold, disruption
