I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

Ed: why the downvote?

It’s our modern diet of refined sugar and plenty more that harms teeth

It’s somewhat within our control to do something about it

I expect they are using LFP which isn’t fire prone.

Fortunately energy density is not nearly the concern with boats and trains as it is with cars.

And agreed, the modular batteries are a nice touch.

I expect they are using LFP which doesn’t do that.

Ok then up your circus skills!

Or if you’re not ready to run away and join, these solder seal heat shrink connectors are a good choice:

Maybe up your soldering game. A proper connection will be solid.

And know that solder shouldn’t be used for structural support. Especially for anything that moves or is subject to vibration, etc.

Thanks but looking for offline solutions

It took a bite out of solar, too!

FYI ripping wise, FLAC is the way to go.

And there are guides to using EAC and similar ripping software to get perfect rips.

Well worth the effort to do it once and perfectly.

Seems pretty cherry picked. From the Wapo regarding Twitter:

But the study doesn’t go so far as to say that Russia had no influence on people who voted for President Donald Trump.

It doesn’t examine other social media, like the much-larger Facebook.

Nor does it address Russian hack-and-leak operations. Another major study in 2018 by University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson suggested those probably played a significant role in the 2016 race’s outcome.

Lastly, it doesn’t suggest that foreign influence operations aren’t a threat at all.

Clicking through, I don’t get it. What content are they offering?

And what’s a leeching group? If they don’t see(d!) what’s the point?

Qbittorrent or Rutorrent has some kind of extension to allow single private file sharing

Or can a private magnet link accomplish this?

Yep search public libraries online and maybe get lucky

Outdoor antennas are typically pole mount. You might be able to extend the dish pole or just remove the dish and use the mount and cabling.

Roof mount would fix that

That’s why we don’t talk about it

That’s easy. Just quit working and descend into poverty, then the government will help you maintain that lifestyle.

Thx

Interesting design issue when the nose gear collapses, the bow slide deploys at a very shallow angle making for slow descents. While the stern slides are at a very steep angle, looking pretty scary to jump down.

There are up to 8 slides on a 350, and it appears they deployed 4 3 - skipping the midship slides that were in the engines-on-fire and still spinning zone.

Nice setup. Thanks for the specs.

Plex-wise, do I need plex pass to share with friends, or will the free version support that?
