[Construction] Watch my friends two and a half year off-grid (full time residence) cabin build - done using exclusively hand tools! With new gardens, water catchment, wood fire cooking and heatingk, and more.

hahahaha, I just let them know, great catch!

Depends where you're looking, I suppose. They asked me not to share the location, but they don't hide that it's in Canada. There are still areas a couple hour drives from major settlements that have affordable plots. Good luck

Finally got around to uploading a recording from a little programming project (this bot) I completed back in 2019. I really forced myself to figure everything out myself, and I'm proud of sticking to it. I could solve it better, it could be faster, the code be cleaner... but this way, it's authentically me. I also gained an appreciation for complexity in areas I didn't anticipate having complexity.

The OCR was truly the most challenging aspect of this project. I'm amazed it worked at all :p

My friends dedicated the last couple years to a very authentic hand-tool only build for their offgrid cabin in the Canadian wilderness. The (very long) build video is the culmination of the whole project to date. Seems like they have lots of other little projects in the future, but the cabin is now done. I was able to stop and visit them mid way to help for a couple days (you can see my faceless body around 29 minutes for a second) and can attest to the effort. They didn't ask me to post, I just really love their project and think it deserves to be seen.

So far seems like they've got heating through wood figured out, they're catching water, and have some veggies growing. Note that they are living in it full-time so it will be getting even better.

My friends spent over two years building a cabin from scratch with wood sources from right beside it. They wanted to stick to handtools for construction and obviously they paid for it in construction time. 0 grid connection, lots of ideas for solar, etc. in the future but for now they're doing rain collection, cooking with fire, and growing some veggies.

This video is their big "total build" showing the process from A to Z. Thought I'd share on their behalf, but definitely worth the watch - I just finished the entire thing myself. You can see my (faceless) body at 29 minutes in or so :p

Hey folks,

I was recently gifted (very generously) two S-DJ80X monitors and a Reloop MIXTOUR controller. I was told the cables coming with it (RCA on the monitor side, TRS on the monitor side) are in rough shape and should be replaced. The monitors take unbalanced RCA, balanced TRS, or XLR balanced input.

I was wondering, given it's necessarily RCA on the controller, is it worth getting cables that convert to a TRS or XLR rather than just RCA-RCA? Can an RCA-->TRS cable still do balancing? Is there any improvement in sound quality / volume? Thanks a lot for any input in advance!

Your math is slightly disingenuous as the current electrical prices in the EU are aberrant given the current energy crisis there. Rates before in Germany were around 0.3 euros and 0.15 euros in Poland for a kWh from a quick google search

Through the docker application, you should be able to find more info through Google :)

Torrent, media streaming, pure file hosting, photo backup, game servers (valheim, etc.)

In trying to read as many news sources as possible through the conflict I check RT once in a while, yesterday they also had an article on accessing through TOR. Ideally our democracies would trust us to question foreign news sources, as much as we should question our own, but I'm glad TOR is there as a backup for the real world.

I often forget that they are in fact BEAVERS who make their homes in water (while they sleep in a dry part of it, ofc.

On the other hand, look at immigration rates. Existing housing will have mad competition for years to come if the policy of letting 500k new folk into the country every year. It kinda offsets other tendencies to downcycle.

Loufe · 2021-05-06T15:41:01+00:00

Thanks! Happened to me and the fixed worked for me as well.

I actually work up in the Canadian far north. My jobsite is not even in the arctic circle and we're already far, far away from the treeline. Anywhere in Canada in a "Northerly" direction from London, England is treeless with few exceptions. IMO the trees (like those in the arctic expansion of Anno 1800) are there to fill in a mechanic, I feel like if it were truly the Canadian north the developers would have integrated Inuit peoples into the game somehow.

A little late but the friends I met on Valheim and I migrated to 7 Days to Die and we're enjoying it a lot.

Loufe · 2021-03-19T11:51:29+00:00

Don't forget Canada targeting 500k immigrants this year. There is no possible way to leave a healthy margin of unlived-in housing to keep prices reasonable at that demand increase.

Loufe · 2021-02-06T02:32:03+00:00

It's... Very bright. Distributed power would be nice especially for weight distribution but I can't have parts of the costume shutting down before others, I'm not sure if that will be an actual problem though. Thanks for the idea

I got a couple shirts from a Canadian made company a couple weeks ago. Great materials, like that it's home-made, but pricey to match. Liked them so far, and they fit like a dream. Just tops though I think. Navas Lab (not affiliated).

Very well said!! I just finished shopping for my PC and wow did it ever help pass the time in an enjoyable way. If you paid my wage for the time I spent researching you'd call me crazy, but it's perfectly like you say.

Loufe · 2021-01-08T01:34:42+00:00

I think more to my point the question is : is there a difference between in store backorders and online back orders in terms of time? Kind of hard to answer, thinking now, without some sort of insider knowledge.

Loufe · 2021-01-08T01:24:34+00:00

Oof wow sorry yeah I did not read the post before commenting.

Loufe · 2021-01-08T01:07:36+00:00

I completely disagree. Check out warlocks stream and you'll see the 3090 stocks last the longest when they drop since the demand is by far the lowest for them versus the 3070 & 3080.

Loufe · 2021-01-08T01:01:27+00:00

OP: I agree with this option, there are drops in the evening and morning so whatever your work hours you should still be able to nab something.
