Oooh. That makes more sense, thank you.

I somehow thought you’d meant your global IP addresses, lol

Do the private IPs not change at all? Or can you handle that automatically?

I have next to no experience, but I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t work for me since my IP changes? Idk

Could you elaborate a little on the LXC, please?

I was thinking about looking into Paperless after seeing it gleefully mentioned so much in this post, but lack of easy/accessible backups seems strange for something you wanna use to eventually destroy your only other copy of it (the physical letter).

If you don’t mind me asking, how/on which criteria does auto-sort and -categorization work? Scanning file name and contents? But then you’d have to pre-define some sort of keywords, no?

Same! Lots of good stuff that’s been mentioned so far, so much to look up and into :D

it’s so easy to host an ActivityPub server oneself

Tell that to the 60+ y/o’s in charge who dread email.

Hell, at this point I’d be content with gov’t institutions using a literal blog website for stuff like this… as long as it’s publicly accessible.

edit: who downvotes this? state your reasons? have you talked to the average office worker 50+? at least where i live, the situation is looking pretty bleak with regard to “tech” (read: basic computing) task understanding/fondness/preference…

My real issue with Python comes with managing a development environment when multiple developers are working on it. Dependency management in Python is a headache, and while in theory, virtual envs should help with synchronizing environments from machine to machine, I still find it endlessly fiddly with a bunch of things that can go wrong that are hard to diagnose.

Late to the party, but a serious suggestion; give uv for Python dev env/package management and ruff (or Black, for that matter, if you’re not using a formatter yet like some others here in the comments) for linting/formatting a shot.

They’re great and feel magical to use if you’ve known the pain experience of not having them.

Couldn’t these apps also use the Android/iOS’ wallet manager which allows handing it over unlocked while the phone is “closed” (not necessarily locked, though…)?

You guys have IDs? I thought that was only for drivers licenses… And no, those two are not from equal categories.

iOS too. Permissions can even be given only while the app is active if it “requires” them, or for location for example an approximate one is sufficient.

You cannot make a safe yet universal cutting tool.

I’m neither language designer or crustacean advocate, but from what can be read, Rust seems to have managed just fine. The trick is probably to allow removing the cover of the sharp edge when needed (execute unsafe).

Same for Apollo and now Voyager. Probably the best-designed and -implemented apps I’ve ever used.

TL;DR: Depends on what you mean.

Long version:

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert by any means, I haven’t vetted the links properly (or at all), they’re mostly there for illustration and if you want to read further. Also, the last time I actually read up on this is quite some years ago, so stuff may have changed in the industry and/or my memory on specifics is foggy. Many of the links lead to Tesla sources since I first looked into this topic back before Musk made it known to the public that he’s an insufferable human being.

Batteries are usually structurally integrated into the chassis with modern EVs, since that means space (and often small weight) savings, and is easier/faster to do in manufacturing.

With that knowledge, it is safe to assume that replacing a car’s battery is a difficult or next to impossible task, outside of end-of-life reuse.

But this is actually where it gets interesting, since EV batteries last many years anyways: What happens when the car’s time has come?

Well… the batteries can be reused. It’s not a trivial process, there’s several ways to do it, but the best intuitive explanation I’ve found is this: In raw ore, lithium and other metals are present at maybe 0.1 or 1%, per tonne of material. In batteries, it’s maybe 99% of reusable, expensive material. Even if you let it be 90 due to inefficiencies in recovery, or whatever, it’ll still make way more sense financially to work with old batteries – once you have the process figured out and automated machinery to get it done in place.

All that is assuming total destruction of the existing cells, which, depending on their state, may not even be necessary at all. In fact, it looks like all of that may not be needed for as much as >80% of batteries. Wow!

And we all know the best way to ensure companies are doing something is if the financial aspect aligns with their goals. It’s in their best self-interest to be able to and actually do this.

So: Replaceability per car – eh, doesn’t look to great. Replaceability across the industry? Perfect.

Private concerts is a good one! And then hire overpriced organizers for those events, too :D

That’s equity. Not spent money, just less-directly-available cash… But if that doesn’t count, real estate technically doesn’t either… Really tough question, depending on the circumstance

Yup. Read this and you will forever be against brain-uploading:

But it’s true.

Coding is, like, the smallest aspect out of all of programming. And unfortunately the part that’s the most fun.

But if you’re a coder, I assume you don’t know how to design complex systems, just (maybe) implement them or parts of them. That’s not what defines programming.

(Disclaimer, in all fairness: that’s in my personal, layman opinion as someone who doesn’t know much theory. I might just be very very in the wrong here, lol.)

Thank you for those two links!! I don’t necessarily have the time right now, but from first glance, those seem super interesting!

Funnily enough, that person you mentioned who discovered that was marcan, one of the Asahi lead developers.
