It is very much against the law in the US too. The point is that any attempt to follow the law causes serious safety issues around road rage.

You know after thinking about it, its only really been a huge problem on this one road where I live. The speed limit varies between 35,45,50 mph and theres one construction zone that is 25 mph. As a whole traffic goes about 60-70mph throughout. Its a windy valley road that is frequented by bicycles and hikers and people have absolutely been killed there in speed related accidents. I sent a message to the sheriff’s department voicing concerns but I’ve heard complaints from neighbors about it for years and its still a huge problem.

On other roads especially highways its mostly no problem to avoid speeding as long as you stay in the right lane, after all trucks avoid speeding most of the time for efficiency and safety reasons, unless you hit a 50-55mph zone like for construction. Those are nearly always ignored by other drivers. Slowing down to comply with the speed limit is likely to get you rear ended since so many are distracted. If you’re lucky enough not to be rear ended it usually results in getting flipped off, but sometimes road rage incidents can escalate.

I think I would have demanded a ticket in your case. I would have really liked to see how that played out in court.

We definitely have a DR plan at work that includes steps that must be performed at least one hour prior to the disaster occurring. Its quite a joke.

In california, near an upscale/wealthy neighborhood with otherwise low crime. Its how the police department stays well funded I'm sure.

pacman -Syu; reboot on a root cron every day during work hours for the true windows-like experience.

Considering I self-host.... yes?

I have lived in california more than a decade. Still waiting on that cancer.

i chuckled at the thought of 'git poop' being a command. I'm going to alias that to something.

fuck it. rm -rf repository; git clone repository

Been using git since almost as long as its been around, still can't be bothered to learn to how to fix conflicts.

Ah, yes "Jrafic interchange format"

It would more than likely be a stream of different colored bars representing bits or something, you would need a LOT of video to store any reasonable amount of data and have it get through youtube's compression.

Right, the concern is that is true until it isn't safe. Someone is going to be the first to be charged.

that makes me think graphics driver maybe? Check dmesg output right after it happens, you might see something getting reset.

EVs in general are terrible range-wise for highway travel. All of these complaints are "we were on a road trip and expected 300+ miles of range!" That doesn't happen. My model Y uses about 260 watt-hours per mile at 65 mph, 320 Wh/mi at 75 and about 600 Wh/mi at 85. This is true of all EVs, it is very easy to get the rated range (and often exceed it) by just slowing down. The "rated range" display on the battery is just that, a display of miles of range left in the battery based on a pre-determined speed and environment that most people would be driving in day-to-day with a mix of city and highway driving. When you're on a long road trip and exceeding the speed limit the entire time it will obviously be much lower. The car has no idea when you unplug and start driving if you're going to be driving to the grocery store or if you're going to be bombing down the interstate at 90 mph for 3 hours. Range is impossible to predict in that way. All teslas have a built in energy display that factors in the past 10,15, or 30 miles of driving and gives you a real time readout of how much range you can expect based on that, and in my experience it is extremely accurate. This is the number you should look at since the little range number next to the battery does not adjust based on conditions like other EVs tend to since they don't have the more detailed energy display available. IMO Tesla should just get rid of that and keep it at the default display of battery percentage.

When you put a destination into the nav it tells you how much battery will be remaining when you get to your destination, and is again, extremely accurate. The car will even tell you where to charge and for how long if needed.

To each their own but I disagree with that. 8 hours is whats needed to get from 0-100%, and the vast majority of the time you're only going to need to charge from 20-80% at most. If you use your car so much and never need sleep to the point that your car can never be found sitting for long enough to charge, then... wow. You would have to be driving about 20 hours per day, every day and putting over 400,000 miles per year on your car for that to not make sense. I don't know about you but I know thats not the case for 99.999% of people.

Most people drive 100 miles per-day at the most, and even that is quite a lot from their normal usage. Adding 100 miles of charge to an average EV takes about 4-5 hours at level 2, like while parked in a garage. You can further cut this down by plugging in at your destination as well. As long as you're a human who occasionally needs sleep I don't see any issue.

not sure how long ago that was but duplicati can now validate backups via checksum every time after writing somewhere

I recommend watching "The People vs OJ Simpson" on this. It doesn't really get into guilty vs not guilty, but just showcases just how complicated things got in that case.

Are you able to open it to the internet and put these services behind an auth proxy? that might be the way to do it. Or if it already has login you might be able to put it behind a cloudflare WAF or similar and restrict bots and bad actors.

i mean… at least companies exist
