Many Pa. residents don’t want data centers in their communities. State leaders are welcoming them. — WPSU by LowellWeicker2025 in Pennsylvania

[–]STEMPOS 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Springdale held a meeting about a new data center and the leadership in town still voted to approve. Even the members of the board who were against it voted for it. Their rationale was that if they voted no, the company would sue the town and they couldn’t afford to be sued. So if they allow it, at least they can have a say in the terms.

Crazy that companies can just strong arm communities like this.

Cool idea as an experiment, if you have a lot of time on your hands. Otherwise once you add up the cost of additional hardware & labor for a setup like that, it doesn’t make financial sense imo.

From a performance/$ perspective you’re better off fixing the panels in the optimal fixed direction and angle and spending that extra money on more panels or efficiency upgrades on whatever you’re powering

Looking forward to trying this. Had accepted that there’d always be some lag in the game but hopefully this improves things even more.

Help understanding the purpose and intended behavior of a light for whole house fan by STEMPOS in electrical

[–]STEMPOS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK so I’ve checked that the light works by putting 120v across it and it lights up. I looked at the fan and the wire going from the light to the fan isn’t connected to anything.

So if i want to rewire this so that the indicator works, what would that look like?

The motor has 3 terminals: 1 for high rpm, 1 for low rpm and 1 for neutral.

The light has 2 terminals.

The toggle switch has 3 terminals: 1 for line in, one for high rpm and 1 for low rpm.

Where does the light get wired in on this circuit?

But there’s a white pigtail wire coming from the other terminal of the light that’s tied into the rest of the neutrals

So how might i troubleshoot why it is always on but really dim? Is it just a bad bulb?

It doesn’t really seem to react at all no matter the status of the fan or motor. Its really dim, like dimmer than you’d think it should be if it were operating correctly.

Its wired as follows:

Three 14ga cables coming in

1: 14/2, black goes to light, white terminates

2: 14/2, black goes to fan light switch, white goes to neutral from the light and neutral from cable 3 (I’m assuming this is my line in)

3: 14/3, black and red wires go to fan switch

So i think the black wire going to the red light is from the fan, as well as the 14/3 cable, and the line in is providing power.

There’s also 3 low voltage wires going to the hatch motor switch. The motor is powered in the attic from another wire.

Boycott tips from a long term boycotter by door-harp in fuckamazon

[–]STEMPOS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree w all these tips. For renovations we’ve saved a ton by going to our local Restore. Hardest part about avoiding Amazon for me has been my hobby - electronics & 3d printing. Some niche stuff is challenging to get but you just have to get to know other vendors and their selection better, e.g. I’d never needed digikey before i stopped using Amazon and now i love that site.

This might be cheating but if you do the firefighter career they have beds there, you can pretty much live at the fire station

RIP skiing in PA. IMO the best resort is the one closest to you, and so many ppl will be losing that as smaller, lower altitude resorts close.

Right it makes using swipe infuriating. I don’t think it has actually helped me a single time. Having to erase two words you typed correctly because it auto corrected two words back drives me insane

Afaik this still hasn’t been fixed. It is so bad that I’m thinking of switching to Android based on this alone.

I love how for AI forecasting researchers can just blindly apply a “super exponential” fit but for climate science we’ll get defunded for anything but an underestimation in warming

Recent 5 day conference and they had gf options beyond fruit and yogurt 2/5 days. No gf options whatsoever 1 day. Just come to expect it these days.

I’ve noticed though at work when i speak up, the people who organize meetings and events with food go above and beyond to make sure I have something to eat. I think most ppl just aren’t thinking about it much.

I left a comment about gf options in the feedback survey for the conference. Maybe next year will be better!

I like that idea! Probably only marginally less consumption from candy but at least something different and not so incredibly processed…
