Heute gings zum Südportal des #BBT Brennerbasistunnels in Franzensfeste - Stichwort „Tag des offenen Tunnels“. Immer wieder sehr beeindruckend!
@Gina absolutely! Berlin is the best city 😁
@krisfreedain Berlin is such a vibe!
#ParkRun 135. Only the fifth new location! I won't bore you with it (too much) but it was a glorious morning and I obliterated my all-time PB by a minute and seven seconds. It didn't feel great and I was trying to not push too much and burn out, but apparently it was literally the best run of my life. Weird, eh? Also it didn't occur to me when I bought bright yellow trainers that wearing them with a bright yellow tshirt and black shorts and hat.... I look like a massive bee. Anyway am thrilled to bits and staying in a converted horse house (haunted by pigeons) for the weekend - got rid of youngest with my lovely bro and sis in law (also staying down here) and we're now off to a wedding. How absolutely marvellous. I hope you're having a great weekend. Xxxx
@TheBreadmonkey
You've got some runner's legs there, Big Bee.
@Natouille @fredds Oui, mais lesquels ? Petits ? Moyens ? Gros ? Extra ?
NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards.
One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

"YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram and Facebook owner Meta are all declining to run the trailer for Musk, along with X itself, The Hollywood Reporter has learned."

All the Major Social Media Networks Are Reportedly Refusing Ads for ‘Musk’
YouTube, TikTok, and Meta's Facebook and Instagram all seem to be either chickening out or taking Elon Musk's side.
This is exactly the kind of thing that might piss off Elon Musk, who has a notoriously thin skin and needs no excuse to slip into a fit of rage.
Musk already has: he responded by tweeting Gibney has “ZERO integrity” and is a “horrible human.”
Musk’s webs of companies and business interests weave all throughout Silicon Valley and beyond
—that’s how you become the world’s first temporary trillionaire.
He has wealth, business relationships to threaten, and other methods of influence, not to mention an army of right-wing trolls and/or government officials who indulge his every grievance.
No telling whether he’s called any of those favors in, or tech firms are just helping shush the baby as a matter of habit

some pretty bleak numbers here: Canada's wealthiest demographic receives the largest proportion of government assistance.
> "It’s not just that they typically have no dependents, live in paid-off homes and carry little debt, though all of that helps. Their well-being is also untethered from Canada’s anemic wage growth. People 55 and older make up less than one-third of the population but, as of 2023, they owned 49 per cent of the country’s real estate by value, 62 per cent of bank deposits, 72 per cent of mutual funds and other investments and 75 per cent of stocks. The value of all those assets has soared."
> "Many do not feel rich. They consider themselves middle class, because they own the things middle-class Canadians once took for granted: a home, a car, perhaps a cottage or a boat. But those once-ordinary markers of stability are now available only to a privileged minority."

@Jaimieserotica In so many ways.
Fuck these fascists. ♾️
Tommy Tuberville should probably stop talking about the qualifications of American air traffic controllers because he's a hick moron fucking imbecile Nazi with a Senate seat he "earned" by coaching football - poorly. Without the Auburn fanbase, that mutherfucker would be doing Manscaped hits on a YouTube vlog. I don't give a shit what he thinks about furries.
@404mediaco Any more information tying this hack to the Com and Edward "Big Balls" Coristine? An interesting thread.
ITS HERE:
BECOME THE THOUSAND SERVERS
Autistici/Inventati’s shutdown left a pretty obvious question behind: what happens when infrastructure movements depend on disappears?
We spent the last couple weeks turning that question into a practical field course on autonomous movement infrastructure.
This is not a guide telling every collective to buy a VPS and become its own ISP. It’s about understanding the systems we already depend on well enough to map them, maintain them, back them up, move them, preserve what matters, and pass that knowledge on.
The course has 13 guide sections and 12 practical lessons. You’ll map the dependencies behind a real project, investigate DNS, SSH into a disposable Linux machine, put something online, inspect what you exposed, make and restore a real backup, destroy and rebuild a service, migrate it, stop being the only administrator, preserve published work, troubleshoot a local network, experiment with another networking model, and teach somebody else what you learned.
No account required. Progress stays in your browser, with export/import and optional private recovery.
The point is not to memorize commands.
The unit of resilience isn’t the machine. It’s the person who can reproduce the machine.
Each one, teach one.
Become the thousand servers.
I calculated how different battery sizes would influence our energy balance. Based on data from 2025. Charging limits and battery losses not taken into account.
25 MWh production from 28,8 kWp #pv
9 MWh load
Current setup with no battery
3,1 MWh from grid
20,3 MWh to grid
1 kWh battery: 0,5 MWh from battery
5 kWh battery: 1,6 MWh from battery
10 kWh battery: 1,9 MWh from battery
15 kWh battery: 2,0 MWh from battery
20 kWh battery: 2,1 MWh from battery
100 kWh battery: 2,4 MWh from battery
1000 kWh battery: 2,8 MWh from battery
5000 kWh battery: 2,8 MWh from battery
The optimal battery size based on that data would have been 7 kWh (256 cycles) to 10 kWh (194 cycles).
Over a lifespan of 10 years, a 7 kWh battery would save 3600 € (1794 kWh times 10 years times 0,2 € (current energy price 0,26 € - 0,6 € lost feed in earning)).
From a financial perspective, a battery still doesn't make sense to me in our situation. Maybe if the inverter needs replacing or if the heat pump changes our usage profile enough.
@luca Yes.
However, there are other requirements besides financial return of invest related to batteries.
For example, if you want to mitigate grid failure situations for a certain period of time.
I have paid way too much money for 30kWh battery so that this is a financial loss over its life span. But I'm still happy to be 100 percent independent (with only very few exceptions) from the grid from March until October.

Es ist grundsätzlich keine differenzierte Debatte mehr möglich. Seit 20 Jahren.Egal bei welchem Thema.
Woran liegt es? Ernst gemeinte Frage. Moderation ist keine Raketenwissenschaft, da gibt es seit Jahrzehnten auch gutes Material und Kurse um das zu lernen.
Fehlt uns heute der Mut, die rauszuwerfen, die nicht konstruktiv – gerne auch kontrovers – beitragen wollen? Insbesondere, wenn es MEINE Veranstaltung ist?
@Jaimieserotica Congratulations! I imagine that the colour scheme appeals :)

Owning the libs.
Renting to own the libs.
The installment plan... for the libs.
Falling behind on your payments for the libs. and now your water might get shut off.
