Modern electronic music is the spiritual successor to classical music (and modern-day “classical” compositions are just rehashes).

Good questions. I guess given how lightweight these pods look there could be probably some sort of lifting device at some of the stations to move the pods between the two rails.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Not if it is strictly time separated. Like I wrote, I could see these pods operate exclusively during the day and regular/cargo trains operate exclusively during the night. Or any other such time based system.

No, these pods on existing rails are potentially a TON cheaper. Even if you don’t count the cost of maintaining the road (which is significantly more than maintaining rail tracks), the need for paying a driver makes most small shuttle bus services prohibitively expensive.

At 3am? Come on. And that’s also true for all public transport.

Its kinda cool how by making it mono-rail, they can use a single track rail to have pods moving in both directions, and the rail could still be used during the night for regular cargo trains.

I use Arch btw. 😅 (well, actually I don’t any more, but this had to be here)

How do you envision Solarpunk Music?

Am curious if Solarpunk music is a thing or not yet? If it is please do share some links to tracks to check out, am very cruious. If it isnt a thing yet, what type of music do you imagined it would be like? I found this on the Tubes, which is very relaxing, ambiance type of music. This is personally the type of music I have in...

Has some of what some people here think at least could qualify as Solarpunk music.

There are some local classified websites where you can post stuff for free and there are also multiple nearby thrift stores for second hand stuff that will sell things very cheaply for you if you waive your own part of the price.

You realise that the government can (and does) just make new money? There is no need for the government to borrow any money (but it does it anyways for other more complex reasons). And if done in moderation the resulting inflation is in effect identical to taxes, except that it automatically “taxes” the rich more and incurages further investments.

And with sufficient inflation, businesses will have no problem to attract investments as people will want to have investments that retain their value, no interest needed.

Similarly, investing money in houses is sound business when inflation is relatively high, both individually and for housing companies.

But the real problem is anyways not basic interest, but compound interest that forces the borrower to repay the lend amount many times over and still be in debt afterwards.

Alienation from other people and thinking they are not worth the bother is a relatively sure sign of depression.

I am not saying its only a you problem, and people around you are probably depressed as well, but I think it’s worth viewing your interactions with other people through that self-reflective lense some time.

Tumbleweed update killed my gaming

Has anyone else had this problem? I updated my openSuse Tumbleweed today (restart required), and now none of my games work. Most are through Steam, so at first I thought it was that. But I have Cyberpunk through GOG launched with Heroic. And even more, Alien Arena has the same problem, so it’s not even a proton issue (I did...

If you are on Nvidia, try reinstalling the binary drivers. On kernel updates the akmod stuff sometimes needs to be recompiled.

Server as heating device - how do I do this?

So I have this silly idea/longterm project of wanting to run a server on renewables on my farm. And I would like to reuse the heat generated by the server, for example to heat a grow room, or simply my house. How much heat does a server produce, and where would you consider it best applied? Has anyone built such a thing?

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Well, that was my plan when I set things up with an air-to-hot-water heatpump in the same room as my homelab. But the reality is that when it is hot outside, I don’t need to run the heatpump (mainly because the solar-thermal water heater is so much more effective). And otherwise the there is no need for cooling in that room.

You could probably mod a water cooler system to connect to a water to water heat exchanger like this: www.heata.co

In general, like others have said, lots of humidity is bad for the hardware, you will need to separate this somehow. But heating a small grow-room with an extension of a CPU water cooler might be possible.

You can do something similar, but much easier with btrfs and btrbk.

Of course ZFS is even more advanced than btrfs, but unless you are doing professional datacenter level stuff btrfs will likely be sufficient.

The idea seems to be to have small modular units of which multiple can be installed in the needed capacity at sites of existing fossil fuel plants, not to have a lot of single units spread all over the place.

No idea, sorry.

It is just a result of its size in terms of subscribers and upvotes (which makes it hit the top of the all feed on other large instances). Any such large community on Lemmy attracts a lot of very low quality comments.

As someone who has repeatatly asked for moderation rights on the Europe community on lemmy.ml due to blatant misinformation posted there all the time (by someone closely affiliated with the Lemmy devs, so I gave up on that community), I guess I’ll have to step up here. But it would be nice to have a team of moderators 😊
