The researchers […] took advantage of small amounts of excess heat to emit more power than consumed. This heat arises from vibrations in the device’s atomic lattice, which occur due to entropy.
Basically yes.
But… this article is 13 years old.
The US Department of Education doesn’t mandate any curriculum from the federal level. States set their own curriculum guidelines.
If you hear someone making this complaint about the federal government dictating what can and can’t be taught in schools, they are either being intentionally disingenuous (in which case they should be called out for it immediately) or they are an idiot who bought this idea being peddled by someone else (in which case they should be enlightened).
Christians (and any other group that wants) can (and do) already have their own private schools.
The same things that’re wrong with everywhere else, but all mixed up with each other and compacted into a smaller area.
Hooray for the melting pot.
OP posted a rain graph here, it maxes out at 28% in May, which is not exactly a sustained growing season or reliable enough for regular crops.
Just because the ground has been graded doesn’t mean it’s been used for farming.
Is there water access on the property? Potential for drilling a well?
Without a steady source of water, farming is problematic.
I mean… exposed to each other, sure, but they’re all exposed to Syncthing and the public relays.
Eh, column A… column B…
It’s not just pining for my misspent youth, it’s the sense of community… the shared common experience of playing games together and shouting insults at each other across the room, getting together and comparing PC builds, helping each other with troubleshooting, plugging two 360s into each other for a 4v4 on Snowbound…
In some ways the activity doesn’t matter that much, it’s the spending time with other people… but that time and place where a really good game matched with a good group of players was where the most fun happened.
No game can ever be really great without a community, and there are aspects of community-building that don’t translate into online spaces, especially not ones that charge rent.
Oh I’m absolutely into board games. I’m playing through Jaws of the Lion with a friend right now.
There’s a fair bit of nostalgia in this lament. I don’t just want to have a LAN party… I want LAN party culture back. The ubiquity of the online services has killed it.
Stop questioning. Start arresting.
Local multiplayer.
That is, I want my “peripheral” to be the capacity for the game to support a second controller and another human in the same room, not just over the rent-seeking network service.
I used to have to mess with these things:
Now it’s easy, you can just have 4 controllers wirelessly connected to the console, no problem, but most new games don’t have a splitscreen mode. Personally I’ve gotten to the point where I often won’t buy a game if it only has online multiplayer.
Also, I want LAN parties back.
Online services have taken so much away from us.
It is a fantastic idea to start your home server project on some e-waste hardware, and use it until you know specifically what features you’re lacking that you would need better hardware for.
Even if they have to burn down the rest of the world to get it.
Everybody has a test environment.
Some are lucky enough to also have a production environment.
Why are we taking this so seriously?
Because it’s funnier that way.
I don’t want to actually be the Borg.
I totally did say “I’d be a Borg”
You seem very confused. Join the link, the Collective will bring you clarity!
I meant a socialist cyborg.
Don’t let your dreams stay dreams!
no shit son
Er, wait, are you using Syncthing for its intended purpose of syncing files across devices on your local network? And then exposing that infrastructure to the internet? Or are you isolating Syncthing instances?
You’d think being people would be common enough… life has enough difficulty without us creating more for each other.
Beyond your eventual technical solution, keep this in mind: untested backups don’t exist.
I recommend reading some documentation about industry-leading solutions like Veeam… you won’t be able to reproduce all of the enterprise-level functionality, at least not without spending a lot of money, but you can try to reproduce the basic practices of good backup systems.
Whatever system you implement, draft a testing plan. A simpler backup solution that you can test and validate will be worth more than something complex and highly detailed.
