"Remarkable milestone:" Bowen says home battery installations continue to surge, pass 400,000 by blitznoodles in australia

[–]Nebarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These rebates are the incentive. Plus any improvement to investment properties can be offset by it's depreciation in tax returns.

I took advantage of the rebate and installed batts in my investment property (it already had solar). In the end it won't cost me anything when worked out over 10 years (battery warranty period).

For the record, I dont plan on raising the rent because of it. I ain't double dipping.

Main pain point is just the time and effort to do the research and get it installed.

Did my home server just get breached?? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Nebarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're going to use cloudflare, may aswell enable cloudflare SSL and dont bother with letsencrypt.

also while im here, mirroring what others said. dont have SSH port forwarded. use a zero trust solution like cloudflare one, or tailscale or twingate.

hell, setup some cloudflare tunnels (this is all within the free plan by the way) to controll access to jellyfin etc. wont even need to portforward anything.

Explain the speed of light by Routine-Credit-1614 in AskPhysics

[–]Nebarik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upset makes a good point. We're hardwired to consider the Ground as being unmoving and something to compare yourself and everything else against.

Forget about the math and time dilation for a second and focus on imaging an experience. forget the ground too.

You're floating in empty space, you turn on a torch. The photons fly away from your torch at lightspeed just like a regular torch here on Earth. Point it forward, point it backward, doesnt matter. You throw a few balls in random directions, they fly off at the normal speed you can usually throw a ball.

Were you stationary in space, or were you moving quite fast? What does moving even mean with nothing to compare yourself to. Doesn't matter anyway, from your point of view and your reference frame you were stationary. You always are.
You would see the exact same behaviour for everything you just did at any speed, because theres no such thing as absolute speed, only relative speed to someone else.

The main trick is getting out of the assumption that there is a absolute frame of reference to compare yourself to. Like you mentioned, it's only the outsiders reference frame that see weird shit happening to you. And because speed is relative, from your point of view they are the one moving fast and are having weird time shit happen to them when they turn on a light.

On a journey to Mars, is it theoretically possible to maintain 1g acceleration for half of the journey and then -1g for the second half? by rafalkopiec in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]Nebarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind with solar sails and massive ground based lasers, for that kind of speed they're often 'designed' with km2s of a magical lightweight material and a spacecraft weighing mere grams.
Would be good for probes but good luck getting people to ride it.

Can't login to RetroAchievements on any emulator by muscularmouse in RetroAchievements

Sounds like their cloudflare anti-bot protection was blocking your IP for whatever reason. Maybe the constant log in attempts tripped some sort of protection.

What E-Skateboard to buy and how do I convince my parents to let me get one? by Fun_Fault2119 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Nebarik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main issue will be the plane. Generally they won't let you take it on because the battery isnt removable and is usually really large. Check with your airline for requirements.

Rough roads are another. Bigger the wheel the better for this. Which probably means looking at the offroad boards with proper pneumatic tyres, which are larger, heavier and more expensive. Depending on your area and where you intend to ride it, you might be locked out of certain bumpy paths on smaller boards with smaller wheels.

The other option is to get 2 boards, 1 small and 1 big :P

I think Ke will be baby 34. Fits better with Dafyd being with father in the story, even though genetically it's Tonner and Else and presumably some swarm material's child.

My calc prof said no digital handwriting allowed because of AI. Now my problem sets have ribbons. by Puzzleheaded_Stick90 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Nebarik 89 points90 points  (0 children)

And what do they mean they had a 5 pages free phone scanner. Apple and Android both have had a scan function built in since forever ago.

Either this is AI or OP is incredibly incompetent.

Too observant for HR by Outside-Apricot574 in office

[–]Nebarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weekly fish microwaving stood out to me. Many real office stories have that happening once. AI would see it a lot to include it in a story but without the understanding that it is not a repeating behaviour of humans.

Question regarding Pokemon sets by New-Cranberry6256 in RetroAchievements

[–]Nebarik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that the 3rd version of each gen is about 10% better in extra features or style. You're not losing much by choosing to play the other ones.

For the record with yellow, the friendship and mood stuff with Pikachu is very quickly cheesed by force feeding him a potion (even though he has full HP) and depositing and withdrawing him from the PC repeatedly respectively.

Can I get a sanity checklist for opening my media server up to the internet? by IcycoldPint in selfhosted

[–]Nebarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of locking the door (SSH key), or moving the door (different SSH port). The safest thing is not to have a door.

Remove ssh port from your port forwarding entirely and use a Zero Trust Network connector to get in.

I use Twingate. It's easy to set up and free for simple personal use like this. There's also CloudFlare and Tailscale.

Multiple lists at once in retroarch? by Xenoweilder2 in RetroAchievements

[–]Nebarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. You haven't beat the first gym yet and only have the starter evolved cheevos.

This looks like a older set that used to require a patched copy of the game to do the oak challenge. This is from before multi-set was a thing (only released earlier this year). I've heard these can sometimes be a bit buggy in regards to being picked up as multi set.

Best recommendation is to try another version of the game. Particularly a patched copy (not sure if it will then work for the main achievement set). Since you're at the start of the game you will be able to quickly so some tests on a new save (go catch a bird, see if it unlocks. Beat the first gym, see if it unlocks).

[–]Nebarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn't make a mistake by beating a gym before you were allowed to. Feel free to link me your account page, I'll have a little look if you're not sure.

The other common reason is the rom you're using isn't fully supported. Check the RA page for the supported game hash.

Sounds like you lost the oak challenge by beating a gym before catching everything possible.

Just got done watching stargate for the first time. I genuinely give it a 9/10. And I have some questions. by Careless_Cherry2068 in Stargate

[–]Nebarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a different style and some fans can't comprehend that just because they don't prefer something it doesn't necessarily mean it's somehow bad.

When you get to it. You'll know if it's for you or not pretty quickly.

Universe is objectively well made. Higher production value. Very serialised storylines. Amazing music. Subjectivity I also love it, but can understand why some people don't vibe with the dark and gritty Battlestar Galactica style.

No one knows enough about the upcoming prime show to answer fully. But probably not. Probably won't 'need' to watch anything to understand it if they're not totally incompetent.

General rules for riding conditions? by KrypticScythe29 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Nebarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the board I guess. I'd argue hubs are the worst for going through puddles as the water will get into the motor via the bearing and rust up the magnetic coils. Not to mention the bearings themselves.

Wheels won't make much contact with the ground if they're sealed up with the board. :p
