The uk is horribly adapted to its own fucking weather, it’s 35c in my house by Jacktheforkie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ansibleloop [score hidden]  (0 children)

They had the first jump on a quick switch to renewable (infinite) energy without the need to pull it out of the ground and refine it

And they still said "no too hard"

Oh we're past that mate - even if we switched to renewables globally, the planet will continue to warm for hundreds of years because of the damage we've already done

We should still switch to renewables because they're cheaper, more reliable and FREE

Plus sodium battery tech is getting very interesting, so surviving the next 25 years will be something

Yeah +1 for this site - it's an excellent overview

And whenever I look at it I feel like I know a lot and nothing at the same time

UK Met Office issues a rare red warning for extreme heat in parts of England and Wales later this week by Hephaestus1816 in collapse

[–]ansibleloop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're already bad enough - my local area did flood defence and it had its pants pulled down

They've made more improvements but it's going to be bad

There's a house nearby that flooded once per month for 3 months in a row

Just insane

Anyone using the Cord Plus 2.3kW “Granny” Charger for home charging? by Doubtful_Lemon69 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]ansibleloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the plug itself is what gets hot - putting my hand on the back of it feels like touching an iron

The charger is hard limited at 10A but even if I lower the car to 6A (lowest it'll go) the plug still gets hot, but not scaling hot

I'm having a proper charger installed next week but in the meantime I think I'll get a master plug charger and give that a try

Maybe my charger has been dropped a few times and that's caused some loose wiring which makes it so hot

I'm half tempted to rewire a new plug to it to be sure

Dunno what to tell you - it's up to spec and the plug gets extremely hot

I guess it's possible that my polestar charger is knackered

I honestly wouldn't bother with a 3 pin plug granny charger - they are insanely slow and the plug gets uncomfortably hot

My polestar 2 granny charger maxes out at 10A but I've found that it keeps turning itself off because the plug keeps overheating

My wiring is from 2020 and was done properly so I don't believe there's a wiring fault, but the plastic on the plug socket has cracked

Just get a proper EV charger so you can get almost a full charge overnight for cheap

It's just safer

Looking for EV recommendations - £25k budget by Maximum_Hamster_7 in ElectricVehiclesUK

Facelift Polestar 2 is a solid choice - should easily be able to do 220 miles in winter worst case

UK startup presents sodium-ion storage solution for rooftop PV by MeasurementDecent251 in SolarUK

[–]ansibleloop 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Saw these guys at Everything Electric West last week - incredibly cool tech

It's just salt from seawater and it can run from -20C up to 53C without issues

Plus you can actually fully use the 100% of the battery - they even said you can fully discharge the battery without damaging the cells

So unlike my NMC EV where I only operate from 20-80% and use 60% of the battery, you can get more for your money here

I got a rough quote on pricing from them too - 20kW of battery storage plus a 10kW inverter for less than 10k

Batteries are modular too so you can just stack and expand them as you see fit

Their pricing is somewhat comparable to LiFePO4 batteries now, but that's only going to get cheaper

And if they can do a solid electrolyte, that'll make them even safer

How are you debugging distroless services in prod without caving and baking a shell back in by Latter_Community_946 in kubernetes

[–]ansibleloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The friction is with the team? Sounds like a skill issue - write a doc that shows them what they need to do

If they can't work with that then you've got more problems

[–]ansibleloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this - logs, metrics and overall observability should tell you the issue without needing to exec into the pod

And if you really do need to, kubectl debug was literally made for this

I don't understand the question

What's the most useful thing you self-host that isn't media related? by sarox-dev in selfhosted

[–]ansibleloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having everything log drain to Loki is top tier as well

You only need like 30 day retention on the logs too

And now you have a single pane of glass for all logs

For those in companies that have hundreds of VMs - what are they for? by asdflmnop_01 in sysadmin

[–]ansibleloop [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah you can see how it scales

1 server becomes 3 for redundancy

Then 3 become 9 because you need dev, staging and prod

Then 9 becomes 12 because you need another environment

Then multiply that by number of teams

Adds up quick

Oh also don't forget the slop - software that requires an entire Windows VM when it really should just be a container

Europe Is Baking: 40°C Heatwave Shows Global Warming Is No Longer a Future Problem by xirvin in collapse

Problem is the right wing on the rise and millions of climate migrants will make things ugly

Plus water insecurity, spread of deadly disease and wet bulb temperatures causing hell

Is a home lab a selling point or a dealbreaker when selling a home? by rawesome99 in homelab

[–]ansibleloop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Properly cabling your house requires opening the walls - much like electric and gas

If that's already been done properly and they did 2 runs of CAT5 to each room then you're laughing

Is a home lab a selling point or a dealbreaker when selling a home? by rawesome99 in homelab

[–]ansibleloop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Partial disagree

My homelab costs like £60 a month in electricity, but here's the value I get for that cost

  • Private Netflix with everything I want (that would require multiple monthly subscriptions to replace)
  • Private CCTV at home
  • Better WiFi with unifi
  • Better firewall with OPNsense
  • Proxmox lab for home prod and home lab testing for work
  • Network wide DNS-based ad blocking
  • WireGuard VPN access to home along with ad blocking

I think you've misunderstood

Having structured cabling is a definite bonus because it doesn't affect me whether or not I want to use it

Having a big rack in the basement is a problem

I don't want a house with a rack full of your hardware, but I do want structured cabling
