pipes come in many sizes! cardboard tubes as well

You could use rough sand paper on the pipe to make it grippy, or add antislip tape to it

A big PVC pipe? So they are all in one location

PCU: power conditioner unit?

VRU: voltage regulator unit?

While the UPS does have lots of upside, there are some downsides to consider:

Battery is a consumable, off gas venting, perhaps active cooling fan noise

oh interesting, what reasons make the ups safer?

It doesn’t sound like you need a UPS. It sounds like you needed automatic voltage regulator.

It’ll condition the power so it’s clean, and if it’s not clean it’ll cut the power off.

Many good UPS’s have a voltage regulator built in, but then you have the hassle the battery and everything. Up to you depends on what’s easier to find for you locally

yes. mail

or crypto like monero

or prepaid credit cards

or voucher resellers, etc

Donate to a non-profit organization, that’s well audited and regulated, that’s not a problem.

Donating to a for-profit organization is a huge problem. The incentives are all misaligned. And should not be encouraged.

Sunken City… it just drags on and on and on. I want to finish it, but every time the main mission gets interrupted by a side quest or I can’t find the “trigger” for the obvious next step clue I lose the will to play the game.

Qubes is the gold standard

Network namespaces also work

Portmaster is a good gui for this approach

I think the common goal is not to sound smart, but add variety and diversity to the language, so it doesn’t sound so boring.

This gets really boring and repetitive

How quickly your culture can absorb new people. If you’ve got a hundred people who are in culture a, and you integrate 100 people from culture b. Now culture a is 50/50. And it’s hard for culture a to maintain its traditional positioning.

If you want to maintain a culture, a people, a language, you need to gate how many people enter the population at any time. So that it can be absorbed.

You similar problems with militaries, how quickly they can ramp up new recruits will still maintaining their previous cadre culture.

yes, you are the asshole. Because you want to keep fighting and your making this post to continue the fight.

If you were not a asshole you wouldn’t care about winning a internet debate.

You could get a “smart tv” but use it as a dumb tv, no internet, no wifi, just have it hooked up to a single input… Then that input could be whatever you want.

For myself I just cast my livingroom laptop screen; no limitations on what i can watch; I suppose if you wanted something dedicated you could setup a micro computer with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo

This isn’t the right community to complain about reddit moderators.

More rarely: some poorly configured USB controllers can actually provide enough backwash power to the motherboard that some LEDs still blink, like the Ethernet indicators.

I ran into this myself, I notice the lights being on, and they stayed on when I unplugged the computer. Took me a good 5m of debugging to figure it out.

this 100% factually incorrect.

I just finished this, yes it took me a month.

I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.

I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.

I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.

I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel

He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license. The death of BOS followed one year from the creation of this essay
