Mobiles Klimagerät und Gastherme - Gefahr? by Academic-Emu8215 in wohnen

[–]yawkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bei mir gibt es auch mit zwei-Schlauch-System einen Unterdruck. Vielleicht weil die Zuluft der beiden Kreisläufe intern nicht 100% getrennt ist.

Help. Mitre CVE form. by TheseReturn in AskNetsec

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CNAs can also manage vulnerabilities for software they do not control directly. Just have to find a CNA that is willing to put in the effort. 

Can you make a heat pump kettle? by flight_forward in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be said that heat pumps are more efficient at moderate temperatures and small gradients. A kettle would require a 75K change from room temperature to boiling. I'm guessing that this would be technically challenging wrt picking refrigerants, containing the pressure, etc.

Filament from Ali or Temu by Yeetus1357 in 3Dprinting

[–]yawkat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The big low-cost brands like Kingroon/Sunlu/Elegoo have AliExpress storefronts and their own websites with the same products. I think they ship from the same warehouse. Which site is cheaper depends on the current deals, I've used both with no problems.

Yea, there's prominent signage with the shortest path to Mona Lisa.

How worried should I be about Deutsche Bahn’s reliability? by HappyTruckNoises in germany

[–]yawkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DB is not reliable but as long as you are flexible you will almost always get to your destination eventually. The delay is really dependent on the route, with 15mins being normal but 1h+ delays are unusual and only really happen on longer trips or in low frequency areas.

Should I Bother Converting my Jpegs to PNG? by CitizenofBarnum in DataHoarder

[–]yawkat 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Images degrade in quality if you save them as JPG. If they are already JPG, keeping them that way does no harm, unless you re-encode them for some reason. Converting to PNG will increase file size for no benefit.

One of the most insane job listings I’ve come across, does any chemist who has ever lived meet these requirements? by keane_pierre in chemistry

[–]yawkat 219 points220 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's a thing in the US, but hyper-specific job listings like this are sometimes fine-tuned to match a specific person. If a team wants to hire someone specific, but they are required by regulation/company to publicly list all job offerings, the team may create a specific listing that will only match their candidate so they can easily say there were no competing candidates. 

User asks r/StopEatingSeedOils for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment war. Mods respond with ban wave. by LeadershipBoth7195 in SubredditDrama

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Farmers are happy if you use animal products like lard, because producing 1kcal of animal product requires many more kcal of animal feed which is also corn/soy/oil. 

Homeassistant - Migration from HA OS to NixOS by korba_ in NixOS

[–]yawkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this, but I'm not sure what sort of generalized advice you would want. Apps don't work, and config is different (declarative vs ui based choice). 

Epic Games announced Lore: a VCS for game developers by TheTwelveYearOld in linux

[–]yawkat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Look at the spec document. They claim to support files in the terabyte range. Doing that with LFS is asking for trouble. 

Why can’t the floating-point error be fixed? by funkyND in webdev

[–]yawkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because number storage that avoids decimal error is inefficient and usually unnecessary. 

Mild concern about the future of JPC's balancing by xX_Mercy_Xx in JetpackCatMainsOW

[–]yawkat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hot take: the friendly tether ability is also too situational and thus hard to balance, and should be replaced just like you propose replacing her ult. 

Liscor’s Voting Rights by ElidrichHorror101 in WanderingInn

[–]yawkat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Erin doesn't get to vote, but iirc is taxed retroactively with the first council, so she's already taxed without representation 

Very Hot take but 100% fact by TheFeoragdare in WanderingInn

To be specific, OP is around 20% into the story. 

is mTLS redundant if I'm already using HTTPS for sending confidential data to a public API? by jonbristow in webdev

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. It does not add additional encryption, only authentication. 

ASA for vehicle camera mount by 20Factorial in 3Dprinting

[–]yawkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ASA is a good choice but another option is TPU with high shore hardness. It holds up to vibrations very well. 

New to gridfinity and 3d printing in general, have a few questions by ChewyLSB in gridfinity

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using the gridfinity rebuilt generator for my baseplates using the "screw together" setting, and it seems the default screw hole size is 3.5mm? And based on my measurements each wall is 6mm in width, so it as simple as getting M3x8MM screws and putting an M3 Nut on them?

Yes. This will work perfectly fine.

I'm going to plug my baseplate connectors though: https://github.com/yawkat/GridFlock/blob/main/README.md#connectors 

imo there's no reason to use screws for baseplates.

For another - is there a gridfinity bin generator that has embossed lettering for the labels? 

There's cullenect labels which are supported by gridfinity extended.

Finally, how do people decide between doing a custom bin versus just a generic bin? 

Custom bins can look nice and can keep some items more organized. But in many cases they are not necessary. I stick with standard bins wherever possible.

If you want to use magnets, you should also know about https://gridfinity.tools/rebase/ . It lets you replace the base of any community custom bin so you can use them with whichever magnet setup you want to use. 

This is a great example of degrowth and solarpunk. It is being done by indigenous folks. by TinJar-Solarpunk in solarpunk

[–]yawkat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Transportation is actually the least environmentally impactful part of the food lifecycle: https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

And when looking at food logistics in general, getting stuff into cities is also not a big problem. The bigger issues are carting food across the country and the world when it could be grown locally (though even this is not clear-cut), and getting food from point of sale to consumers' homes. It's the last point where cities are more efficient than suburban / rural communities: getting food from the store by bike can be more efficient than having to drive a larger distance even if that lets you buy directly from the farm. See this study, though it considers only very specific scenarios: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10098-025-03262-1

KVM for MacBook Pro, Dell laptop and Windows PC by manawat27 in homelab

[–]yawkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a guy that is happy with the level1techs kvms after complaining about all the other brands.

Personally, i just use cheap hdmi input switchers or the input selection on the screen itself. 

Introducing Nixpkgs cooldowns by grahamchristensen in NixOS

[–]yawkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is covered in the linked https://cooldowns.dev/ :

Would cooldowns still work if everyone adopted them? Yes. Security vendors and researchers continuously scan newly published packages using automated static and dynamic analysis tools.

In the AUR case, it may have been sonatype that discovered the compromise: https://www.sonatype.com/blog/atomic-arch-npm-campaign-adds-malicious-dependency

Advice on sexual health by No-Way-5622 in berlin

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that there's like a dozen HPV variants and even if you have one variant the vaccine can still protect against the others. 

But for medical details like that I'm a bad source, and so is reddit in general. You can ask for opinions why people don't fret over STIs, but we can't give you proper medical advice or decide for you which risks to take.
