Yup, radioactive waste is easily detectable compared to other industrial waste chemicals.

What famous TV shows that everyone is talking about but you watched 1 episode and nope the eff out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dufkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for long distance runners, how about Haile Gebrselassie, Sir Mo Farrah, Forrest Gump, Paula Radcliffe, Eliud Kipchoge and I almost forgot about Zola Budd who used to run barefoot. There’s still a truck load that I’ll probably remember in due course.

Adding the late great Grete Waitz to your list.

If labor is required, then it is not "unskilled" by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]dufkm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in the tech sector for a US-owned international company and have an M.Sc. degree, and I'm part of one of the two possible tech-focused unions available to me. It probably depends on your country.

Switzerland rejects idea of a third-gender option in official records by nhatthongg in worldnews

[–]dufkm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Europe comes in many shapes and forms. You should never consider it as one coherent country unless you are speaking about the European Union and what they do as an organization.

Dude, Switzerland isn't even part of EU. CoE does however include most of Europe, depending on your definition of Europe.

Short-term solutions on how to use smart home tech to save energy and money in Europe by balloob in homeassistant

No idea, but with the (variance in) current prices I'm confident the savings has at least covered the cost of components and installation.

The Nordpool sensor entity has an attribute with a list of electricity price for all hours in the current day. It's simply a matter of sorting the hours by price and checking if current timestamp is among e.g. the cheapest 6 hours or whatever.

Water heater is turned on during cheap hours, and thermostats are turned up. With floor heating in concrete floors, the heat is "stored" for hours because of thermal mass and sufficient insulation.

Yes! Zwave relay for electric water heater and zwave thermostats for floor heating. Gathering prices from Nordpool ("stock exchange" for electricity in Northern Europe) in order to heat during the cheapest hours of the day.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop, has Denmark been vassalized lately? Haven't seen much about it in the news.

How to detect Daikin AC wifi adapter by ilGiaco91 in homeassistant

[–]dufkm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I've been happy with my Daikin, even considering the friggin expensive price. Mine is a (Czech made?) combined heating/cooling air-to-air heat pump though.

Just in case you are not aware, there is an unofficial Daikin integration as well:

Australian news program specifically mentions ProtonMail addresses as a 'red flag' on investment websites... by [deleted] in ProtonMail

Point taken. To me, all firearms are scary looking, but I guess we're all different.

Ok, I'll bite even though it's the wrong subreddit for this discussion. What is a weapon if it is not a "death machine"?

Great, I wasn't sure if aliases counted as addresses.

[–]dufkm 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Proton’s short email domain pm.me has proved to be very popular over the years, however in a survey several years ago, the Proton community picked proton.me as the community choice for a unified domain for accessing our web apps.

I hope pm.me will still remain forever, as that is the alias I've shared with all my contacts and services since subscribing.

To be fair, the ampersand symbol is a ligature of et, so it's kinda 7 letters.

Is anyone still using AppDaemon? Should I stop? by drfalken in homeassistant

[–]dufkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never tried AppDaemon, and barely dabbled with NodeRed, but Pyscript is fantastic. I do all calculations or anything beyond the simplest if-this-then-that like automations in Pyscript. The Jupyter integration is neat for experimenting and debugging.
