Probably better to think of in Wh since I’ll be running 24v. About 98Wh of energy to boil, assume *~1.2 for loss so ~118Wh total. Thats ~5Ah at 24V, or ~10Ah at 12V.

I’ll be running pretty large bank, too, so not to concerned on it 😉

FSD? Fake Self Driving? False Self Driving? F#@& Says Driver?

No more than a pot on induction. Or for that matter, no more than with propane, or friction, or pressure, or with a mini-sun. Takes the same amount of energy regardless hah.

Speaking of which, this is a pretty cool tool: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/water-heating

So for 1 liter in my case, a 2K watt inverter woth 80% efficiency across the system would take under 4 minutes to boil.

Yea, big steamer vs iron fan here. This will be for a van. A while back we aquired a mini van and through the magic of DIY it now has no back seats, a couch+bed, fold up kitchen and running water. We are very outdoorsy and like cheap travel, so we are doing some planning for potential next/future stage of life in something that could replace structural living 😉

Computer science is going to be q commodity job. Prediction of three tiers:

• Tier 1: No education requirement. I write code and build things. Large percentage of developers.
• Tier 3: Science based, high education working on algorithms, physics, and other elements requiring an understanding of matters in deeper education
• Tier 2: Right in between 1 and 3, may require formal education, but definitely experience. Will understand applications of high science, and can both program well and manage teams. Will replace current nontechnical middle management, because who needs that when the market is flooded

We’ve been headed this way for years, AI is just speeding it up.

While I hate this world for what I’m reading, we should be careful to separate suspensions and guilt. Due process is there for a reason, and suspension will end at conviction. I feel like we’re constantly fighting for due process in today’s world, but it needs to exist everywhere if it’s going to work. For the family’s sake, I hope it’s a quick trial.

If you think of them as Oculus, it makes more sense. VR is a great training tool for things that need subjects not readily available. A good example is teaching doctors surgical practices without the need for patients or test animals (at least in initial rounds). So in that scenario, VR can he used to help save lives. In some instances, the military does the same, so why not use VR?

And then, you know, do the reverse of that, too, I guess? Ugh.

This is nothing new, it’s just more polarizing because of everything else.

I’ll be choosing an inverter soon. In the US, but considering a 240v just for the kettle.

I hadn’t considered Trixie. Regular Backports is at 6.13, is Trixie ar 6.14?

Pleeaaasssee get kernel 6.14 in, or at least to Backports. I’ve been doing work to support the new dual screen Zenbook Pro in Linux, and I’m having to do it with Ubuntu 25.10 because Backports only goes to 6.13. Though my trusty remove-snap script still works.

Not everywhere.

Not everywhere.

I bet he knows it, and likes the fact that they hate it.

I too, was a Slackware floppy fan.

Yup. On Amazon, always do three things:

• Sort reviews by most recent, go to the end, and make sure the reviews are for the same product snd it wasn’t switched (report it if so)
• Search reviews for the brand name, skip AI garbage and see how many people say it or are Vine reviews
• Read filtered on critical reviews

I run mine in Docker. Three containers: PiHole which resolves using Unbound, and a VPN container for Unbound.

That being said, if you routinely restart that device, or it crashes because of something else you are doing, it gets annoying real quick.

A cheap mini-PC running a low wattage n150 is a good thing to have for essential services in docker.

For us plebs. Government (US) will still use it for years to come.

Ahh yes, must be the French cheese.
