Boring enough to use #Debian, fun enough to use #Arch • #Hardware & #Software Development • #RapidPrototyping • #EmbeddedSystems — he/him I don't post exclusively about one topic. Expect random stuff on #coding, #retrocomputers, #DIYsolar, or things I'm passionate about like #livablecities, #a11y. I love to chat about my own interests, but also boost/share things that are new to me that I find interesting. #art, #literature, #food, and whatever else, I'm excited to explore it all!

I think this is a great article and I hope more people put this into practice.

I've got a Bob and Doug Mckenzie shirt that I wear around Oxford to help expose them to some real culture. 🤣

This is still one of the weirdest camera-and-lens combo I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Anywhere that people park for longer periods of time—home, work, and third places like gyms, libraries, etc—and where there are already street lamps are great candidates for cheap L2 charging retrofits.

Where I live, they just fit the streetlamp with an LED bulb—yes, LED streetlamps have some problems, but they're getting better every year—and that gives those fixtures enough spare wattage for an L2 charger to be installed right inside the pole.

Of course we'll eventually need to expand beyond just adding L2 chargers to street lamps, but in a lot of urban and suburban areas it's a low-cost, high value way to get started and would give a _lot_ more people the ability to charge slowly while parked.

Here's a good demonstration of why you need to disable the read cache when you're benchmarking a ZFS pool. ;p

The results without disabling it certainly make it seem like this mirror made of a couple old consumer drives can really scream.
