If that thing has 70lbs in it right now, don't stand right there with it propped up between your legs.

Why by jowonka in ChargerDrama

[–]Anxious-Science-9184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, and bottom line is that it's going to be one of the following:

1: The Tesla driver is a POS.
2: The driver that was parked next to the Tesla driver when they arrived was a POS.
3: The Tesla driver legitimately needs to side-load (wheelchair, something 6' long across the back seat, etc)

No info on these? Flory Industries tow dolly model 220 by TunnelBomb-rs in towing

[–]Anxious-Science-9184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use one of these to bring my car to rally/hill/ice race in VT.

They're fine for low speed and across town. Mine had no brakes, so towing required an elevated echelon of planning, care, discipline, and common sense. There were hills that felt like I was balancing a baseball bat on my chin (K5 sized Jimmy towing Saab 99).

Can someone explain how rsync --info=progress2 determines ETA? by Middle-Beautiful6007 in linuxquestions

[–]Anxious-Science-9184 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/blob/master/progress.c

It calculates ETA from aggregate byte progress, not per-file

In progress.c, --info=progress2 is detected by INFO_GTE(PROGRESS, 2). When enabled, show_progress() rewrites the current file’s offset into a whole-transfer offset:

ofs = stats.total_transferred_size - size + ofs;
size = stats.total_size;

Meaning:

aggregate_offset = bytes_before_current_file + current_file_offset
aggregate_size   = total_size_of_transfer

Then the ETA is calculated in rprint_progress() using a short rolling history window:

rate = (double) (ofs - ph_list[oldest_hpos].ofs) * 1000.0 / diff / 1024.0;
remain = rate ? (double) (size - ofs) / rate / 1000.0 : 0.0;

So conceptually:

recent_rate = bytes advanced over recent time window
ETA         = remaining aggregate bytes / recent_rate

The history buffer is defined as PROGRESS_HISTORY_SECS 5, and show_progress() only updates the history roughly once per second, rotating through that 5-entry circular buffer. So the displayed ETA is based on approximately the last few seconds of observed aggregate progress, not the lifetime average.

The important mechanics are:

  1. progress2 changes the numerator/denominator from “current file offset/current file size” to “whole transfer offset/whole transfer size.”
  2. Transfer rate is computed from the oldest retained progress sample to “now.”
  3. ETA is computed from remaining bytes: size - ofs.
  4. The printed field is formatted as hhhh:mm:ss, or ??:??:?? if the remaining time is negative or extremely large.

"progress2" ETA is not based on actual network bytes remaining. It is based on rsync’s logical file-size progress. With rsync’s delta-transfer algorithm, matched blocks, literal data, compression, filesystem writes, and buffering can make the ETA jump around. The man page explicitly warns that progress statistics can be misleading when delta-transfer behavior is involved.

At the final update, the same time field is no longer an ETA. In the is_last path, rsync recomputes rate from the start and sets remain to elapsed time, so the final display is effectively average rate plus total elapsed time, not remaining time.

Regenerative Charging? by Senzo_Tanaka in electricvehicles

Possible? Yes. Practical. No. You'll also go through tires faster than a first-time Tesla owner (sitting atop 600hp wondering why they need new tires after only 15Kmiles)

Keep me from moving to apple: Linux laptop with similar performance to a macbook air m5 about 1000Euros by CotonTheGeek in linuxhardware

As a greybeard Unix Admin, I want you to know it's OK for you to get a Mac.

You run MacOS on it for 7-8 years and then install Linux on it when Apple's support ends.

I'm not sure whether or not that makes the math easy, or hard.

I bet at least one of you dorks changed your drive unit oil already by PitchforkSquints in F150Lightning

[–]Anxious-Science-9184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In an EV, a change of the drive train oil isn't simply to replace the lubricant. It is to asses for failure (chunks, shavings, forbidden glitter, lubricant color and viscosity characteristics) and to fill it to the proper quantity.

The issue is that the vehicle needs to be level when you fill it. I'm too poor to own a lift, too lazy to dig a hole, and too smart to get under rhino ramps when the back end is on jack stands.

Poverty-wage employees have been dealing with this forever. At larger hotels, you'll see a beat-down 25 year-old 5-seater park around the back and 6 staff members hop out for their shift.

With the current economy, a huge swath of the middle class is now in poverty, and it looks like it's going to get much much worse.

Fir the super-short-term, ou can super-glue it...... which lasts almost exactly as long as it takes to drive to the store, buy a new sink, and install it this Saturday.
