With fugitive emissions, methane is worse than coal. A coal leak just turns into a regular ol rock on the side of the railway. A methane leak is very hard to detect and releases much more GHG potential than even the burning of that coal.
I'm not advocating for coal, just saying they're both shit and we really shouldn't even be having this conversation.
Oh, I think I misunderstood what you meant by queue function. I get it now, the ability to pick a bunch of videos and have them play through, not a recommendations queue.
Perhaps, but there are often related videos which provide a similar sort of discovery. One of the main points of these frontends is that they don't track what you watch. If they don't do that, they can't recommend videos.
There is a bit missing with auto discovery on these frontends, which makes sense...if it doesn't track what you watch, it can't recommend things. Most have related videos though, so you're not just stuck with your subscriptions.
Right, so fingerprint on everything wouldn't be the best practice, because it's all in one category and everything can be unlocked by a compromise of that one thing.
That's a good point. I might look at removing that from my totp app and using a passcode instead.
Would a passcode (different from phone, of course) or biometric unlock for the 2FA app count? For example, I have bitwarden and Aegis, both have fingerprint unlock when opened with a reasonably short timeout. So, even if my phone pin was compromised, both would still require biometric unlock to access.
It's amazing what a little curiosity can do. Most would consider the machine dead. A friend also had a similar coffee maker that stopped working and just decided to pop the cover off to see if there was anything obvious. A quick replacement of a deteriorated hose and they were back up and running when it otherwise would've ended up in the landfill.
Anyone installing a heat pump in cold climates will often have a backup heat source. If you don't have access to natural gas, heat pumps can save considerable amounts of energy compared to only resistive heat.
Please elaborate. I've done a rough calculation here, and I have several energy models that support my claim, so I'm curious where all that work may have gone wrong.
You're right, using electric heat (yes, even with a heat pump) does emit more GHGs than heating with natural gas in SK. The balance point is when Saskpower can get around 3-400 tCO2e/GWh (with heat pump and backup resistive heat), which is their goal for 2030, and the trend is promising.
The issue is that fuel source is discussed much more than demand reduction. The first step of any design focusing on energy efficiency or GHG reduction is reducing the demand for heating (and cooling). Only after that does it make sense to improve heating efficiency. In other words, you can throw a heater in a bunnyhug and go out at -30, but it would make much more sense to just wear an appropriate jacket.
Another consideration is that you can actually make carbon neutral power. Natural gas can never be that way.
Of course, you don't have many options for improvement in your apartment, but at least we're seeing improvements to the building code so new buildings will be slightly less than garbage.
