Both needing repairs? Imagine we don't have Williams in China.

I've actually been thinking more and more recently around setting up a local backup (Nas?) But haven't really done much research and the more I think about it, I wonder what I have to really backup (other than my photos which are stored on an external hard drive and online).

Just before I read this, I actually saw a nice setup using a rpi5 and some SSD's. Is using a rpi a good way to go about something like this?

I like doing hobby electronic stuff in my spare time (real beginner at it as well) and for some reason did a deep dive of DMM's (Digital multimeter), and now I really want to get one (even though I don't need another one atm) lol.

Let's call it 9 years away from next year

It feels like there's a lot more positive stories coming out about fusion lately :)

Yeah, Im a relatively recent convert to the reverse sear world, and it's been getting me really consistently great results so far. As said, quite easy to get the doneness exact. Does take a bit of time though, so you do have to plan it ahead somewhat.

Yeah, though I haven't used it yet, it's good to know it's right there when I want it.

Yeah, essentially.

Obviously made by different companies, Kindle - Amazon, Kobo - Rakuten (A Japanese multinational).

When I was doing my research on what to buy, I was weighing up between the Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Clara 2e.

I think most people say that the Kindle has a better selection of books available in their store (though I've only had one book I couldn't find for the Kobo, but I solved that issue by purchasing it while in a different region), and the Kindle is Larger. The Kindle also has a top screen layer than makes it flush with the body.

In the end I went into a physical store to have a look at both of them, and went with the kobo, mainly due to how I preferred the smaller size.

edit - oh and just remembered as I read another comment in this thread, Kobo is compatible with Libby, which is what is used to "borrow" ebooks from your local library (I believe in most places around the world?, not too sure on that), while Kindle is not. Though I havent used it yet, as when I went looking for a few books I wanted to read, they had already been checked out by other users, and there was a waiting list for them.

I go through spurts of reading, and I had been putting off ebooks because I like to own the physical books and have them fill up a shelf etc.

I recently got a Kobo and it's been amazing. Definitely been reading more, and as others have mentioned, it's so great when travelling. I've got a little camera sling bag that I carry when travelling, and it just manages to fit in there so I can have a quick read when I'm waiting for something/got some down time etc.

Can't argue with safety.

I wonder what would be the solution/ combination not solutions to give rise to races where drivers have to/ are able to push alot more for alot longer.

Thanks for that :)

I'll keep that in mind it I have any questions in the future.

I really enjoy hearing about these types of things

Interesting. Genuine question, what are the main reasons for limiting the power? Is it due to safety?, managing costs? Theoretically, with so few engines allowed per season now, wouldnt it curb alot of the stuff that was happening with insane qualifying trims in the 80's as an example?

Thank you for all that detail!

That's really interesting around the blurriness with Open Source Projects. I feel a heck of a lot more educated around this federation stuff now 😂

Thank you for answering all my questions over the last couple of days - I'll let you enjoy your long weekend now lol.

If a group were to go and fork it, and start developing independent from the original devs, they would still be able to interact with Lemmy right? (unless they can block eachtother?), but if any existing communities wanted to move over, they would basically have to start again from scratch because the fork isn't Lemmy anymore

edit: or is every server/instance a fork?

Honestly I really despise the whole Fuel Flow Limit thing, along with having tyres that have to be nursed too much I feel.

I understand that Lemmy is Open Source, but are those "dick" devs something to be concerned about?

Oh haha! When I was writing down Mastodon, I had a feeling you were going to say they were compatible with eachother haha.

That's interesting how they can interact with eacother etc. Have you tried Kbin? if so, hows that experience?

I've always been interested in data, and only relatively recently got into the field for work.

Always interesting to see what data is available, and how we could utilize it with what constraints etc.

Oh okay - I didn't know about the interaction with different software. Had heard of Kbin before (haven't yet heard of any of the others), and just assumed it was a completely different type of thing like Mastodon.

That's pretty cool. How does the interaction with (for example Kbin) work? Can we see their communities, and interact with their posts and vice-versa?
