My kitchen fridge is relatively new, uses ~1.25 kWh/day, typically draws ~100W when running and never really goes over 200W
My garage fridge is older and cheaper and uses about the same amount of energy, but power occasionally spikes >1kW
With batteries, both could be powered with just ~200 W worth of panels. Without batteries, you may want a little more power or a descent capacitor to make sure you can handle the start-up loads.
Given it's out in direct sunlight all day, you may need an extra 200W or so to offset the solar hear gain.
A typical rooftop panel is ~300-400W, so 1 would probably do it.
Also probably gonna turn out it dissolves into smaller plastics, perfectly sized for penetrating the blood-brain-barrier.
Edit: I get it, no new technology has ever had issues with safety and efficacy uncovered after entering mass production and being discarded with reckless abandon in our environment
I apologize to the articles authors for my cynicism, it is clear from the article that nothing bad could possibly come from allowing this new plastic to dissolve in our oceans. It is nice to see plastic pollution has been definitively solved for the rest of time and we no longer have to worry about it.
Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.
If you're already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you're not bookmarking constantly.
If you're doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).
I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced
Yes and no, I've treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it's more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.
Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.
We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.
Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?
I have absolutely zero love for PayPal, but a small part of me is hoping this is so they can launch their own wallet app, which doesn't use whatever crummy "security" system keeping Google Wallet off of GrapheneOS.
It'll never be my primary form of payment, but as someone with ADHD, my grocery store purchase info 10% of the time is a reasonable price to pay for forgetting my wallet at home again.
As a fellow ADHD person, this is a really hard one to maintain, but the really important thing here is just being conscious of the difference in calories between different food groups, then learning for each ~100 calories you eat, you have to walk a mile just to burn it off.
Not everyone wants to play a game that relies on responding to cues.
Overuse of one mechanic can make it unappealing.
I feel the same about games that rely on reactions during cutscenes or climbing. On the one hand having to be on edge all the time is annoying, but on the other, the absence of interaction can hamper suspense.
For example, I've been playing Horizon Forbidden West lately - There's a lot of climbing, and the devs love to throw a mid-climb "post you're hanging on starts to fall" gag, but with no reaction mechanic, it's pretty much always harmless and kinda feels "why bother"
No, I don't think that's right... It was like Inflamedinsects or something similar... It was super low-key, not a lot of people have heard about it, zero chance someone on Lemmy would post it.
I don't know if you guys have heard but there was this one sci-fi show on Fox that was aired out of order then canceled after only one season. It got a movie for some closure, but would have been nice to continue.
I forget the name... Burnybug or something like that... It's not very well known on the internet, so I'd be surprised if anyone else were to bring it up in a thread like this.
