<p>It’s practical to see battery level so I can optimise the electricity price at which I charge it.<p>Although it wasn’t worth the cost of the 3 year subscription so I now just estimate the charge status based on the charge’s power consumption.<p>If the car is at 10% battery, it may be worth charging at .15 or .3€/kWh. If it’s at 70% charge, I’ll wait until the price drops to .005€/kWh. The whole thing is automated in HA.</p>

<p>I believe he actually addresses that in his video. He mentions that 240V ones typically include resistive elements in case they’re needed IIRC.</p>

<p>Technology Connections has recently published an in-depth piece of the advantages and disadvantages of in-room heat-pump water heaters [1].<p>The tl;dw is that it is significantly slower than a resistive or gas-powered water heater, and lowers the temperature of the room by a few degrees, but nothing major. You have to over-provision them compared to your needs. And they are way bigger.<p>[1]: <a href="https://youtu.be/F_7B2shTPPU" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/F_7B2shTPPU</a></p>

<p>The only thing attracting me to KOReader for my PocketBook is OPDS. The few presentations I've seen show a UI so bloated (as in, the main view for reading pages crammed full of widgets on the bottom of the screen to display wifi signal, battery percentages, and progression counters) that it makes me wonder why some people use an ereader at all.<p>If my PocketBook had OPDS out of the box it would be the perfect device. What has your experience been? Why are you using KOReader?</p>

<p>Je peux aussi te répondre en Français, mais je ne vois pas du tout le rapport avec la discussion.<p>Have you actually seen the image I'm talking about? This is the one: <a href="https://firemapsspain.online/og-image-v3.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://firemapsspain.online/og-image-v3.jpg</a><p>It shows a straight line across all of France, which appears to be a 100km wide line of fire. Considering my family, in France, had to be evacuated, I have friends who lost absolutely everything, yes, I get annoyed when people use AI slop that doesn't care about accuracy.<p>Especially coming from a website that tries to improve information about wildfires! I never commented on the content of the app. I just said it's odd that the image in question shows France burning, but Portugal is shown empty of any wildfires.</p>

<p>The AI-generated thumbnail that is embedded is social media posts is in particular poor taste. It appears to show most of France in a blaze of death.<p>All the while showing Portugal as not having a single fire at all.<p>I understand you might be focused on Spain, and that’s fine. But please understand that people are dying or losing everything, and being a tad sensitive to that could go a long way.</p>

<p>Going from EPUB to KEPUB requires conversion (I believe KEPUB has XHTML directly embedded into it, right?). It's Kobo's proprietary format to "support" fast scrolling with preview, reading time estimates, etc.<p>Yes, Kobo can potentially read EPUBs natively, however the support is intentionally gimped to try and push you towards KEPUB/their own store.</p>

<p>This is why I’m a bit conflicted about DoH and ODoH. Firefox and Chrome have defaulted to DoH for years if I’m not mistaken (although I’m in Europe so I believe my FF still uses regular DNS instead of DoH by default).<p>This also means that DoH effectively sends all your queries to CloudFlare on FF. Chrome is slightly smarter and tries to map your DNS provider to a DoH implementation if known.</p>

<p>I think the universe is trying to tell you that whatever you wrote at that exact moment was fire. Or maybe the exact opposite, and the universe had to stop you instantly. That’s the annoying thing with the universe, one can’t ever really know with certainty what it meant, or even if it meant anything at all.</p>

<p>I don’t think we used to be this way. I think the binary aspect of modern discourse was designed. A lot of arguments are reduced to us v them. It is as if holding two simultaneous opinions is now a bag thing.<p>Politicians used to rely on facts. On evidence. Colbert, like him or not, hit the nail on the head over a decade ago: “We live in a post-truth world.”<p>Maybe it’s a side effect of modern media platforms. You either like or dislike. If you don’t do either… do you even exist?<p>The tribalism has been pushed to an incredible level. You can’t agree with part of someone’s discourse. You either fully agree or fully disagree with them.</p>

<p>3 90-day ACME certs for free. 180€/year for unlimited 90-day certs and 5 yearly ones.<p>That’s a pretty steep increase. I would almost be more interested in a monthly fee per cert.</p>

<p>HID was originally American and Scottish, but became fully American in 1994.<p>HID was acquired by Assa Abloy in 2000. No idea whether that means we now consider it Swedish.<p>ZeroSSL used to be Austrian until their acquisition in 2024.<p>I used to work for a company that got acquired by HID. It looks like HID has retained their original offices in some form.</p>

<p>What a brilliant piece of writing. I remember almost every single step—safe for actually getting angry emails. Maybe I ended up being the one writing them.<p>What a glorious time period.<p>Interestingly, it would’ve been impossible to share this writing with as many people as the author did by publishing it on mastodon and then it ended up on HN in 1998. The network effects are real.</p>
