To steal your labor and use it to train their clanker replacement

Heck yeah they have. Cheaper power during peak production is still very much a thing though, as it should be imo. Slurp up that juice as it pours in!

Mine was kinda that we do if we could adjust our patterns and habits a little bit to live with the world as it is vs imposing ourselves on it. Forcing “companies” (read corpos) to do something other than maximize extraction is a big part of that

In most hydronic heating systems I’ve worked on, there’s an insulated tank of hot water either somewhere in between the boiler and radiators or built into the boiler directly. The thermostats talk to valves that send the water to radiators in the rooms that need it. The boiler just keeps that water at a set temperature.

In larger buildings with really long runs, sometimes there are valves to bypass certain radiators and/or multiple tanks located around the building. I can’t say without more information about your home, but it might make sense to have one near the area you’re trying to heat most.

No storage tank at all and thermostats that fire up your boiler directly sounds very unusual and inefficient. The expansion tank you have is just meant to stabilize pressure, it doesn’t have enough volume to do much for temperature

Just chiming in to say I think this guy’s got the right idea. I realize what community this is posted in, but sometimes when you’re really into your hammer everything starts to look a little too much like a nail. If you have room for it (sounds like a pretty big house) a buffer tank would make a huge difference

I’m gonna do a hate crime just for the bag

…they should charge at work during peak solar and run their homes off their car batteries at night. That’s where you were going, right?

This looks both good and easy, gonna try it

I’ll have to check it out, thanks!

We all know art is hard, artists gotta starve

The real deal will always be there and never be easy. Fuck “content”, fuck entertainment, fuck packaging yourself for sale. To know and be known is the most human thing there is. Genuine self-expression was never commercially viable and isn’t going anywhere as long as there are two people to engage with one another. That’s art. It’s not something you can be “good with LLMs” at, no matter how technically proficient their output

I’m not interested in arguing and have already shared my experience, hope you have a nice rest of your day. From their perspective, “texting” most people just quit working and someone had to “fix” it by switching them back to their phone’s default sms client. It’s pretty clear you haven’t been tech support for an elder, a lot of people aren’t aware of these things or making real decisions about them at all. Texting at all is a big ask, they need help looking at/sending pictures, a separate app is way too much friction

I don’t have a screenshot handy, but it was very clearly communicated through both colour and iconography whether or not a conversation was encrypted. For people who still couldn’t tell, like my elderly relatives, removing sms support meant they went from 10% encrypted communications back to zero and forced the rest of us to expose ourselves again to stay in touch

Deku SMS (on fdroid) is nice to use and all, but I’m not really sure how “ethical and pro-privacy” can apply to an sms client

I felt their reasoning was disingenuous and that supporting sms had been a massive driver of adoption, a lot of “normal” people used it as a default messenger on the advice of the nerds in their lives without any idea what signal or sms were. Removing that support was a significant rugpull and measurably detrimental to their stated goal of private communication as a default

It used to, pulling that was their biggest mistake since requiring a phone number and made me trust them a lot less

Paid hype is a red flag imo
