Join feddit.org - a public charity/NGO, based in vienna, working for the fediverse.

Passbolt seems to be a upcoming competitor. It’s EU based, OSS, etc., but has not been audited as much as BW and has not achieved feature parity so far.

But it looks very promising.

It makes a lot of sense as 800MWh available within ms (especially directly linked to a major grid hub like it is the case here, Laufenburg is famous for it as it’s also the point where the swiss and German grids meet) is the wet dream of every grid planer that has to stabilize a network. That is around 12% of the whole average power draw of Switzerland. Which is impressive.

We need more of these.

There are various working redux flow large capacity batteries operating already (as mentioned in the article as well), e.g. Daillan, in Japan, this one is just a tad bit larger

I have the Srin Top hat with 6mm panels (that helps considerably with keeping the heat in) and the Panda breath. I would rather not heat such a large enclosure as well,as it also fries the motherboard,etc. and it additionally produces very uneven heat.

You will need a top for it either way, but it worked reasonably fine with a ikea like crate. (Had this while my old Bambu printed the enclosure)

It needs proper preheating of course AND a proper ventilation concept as the enclosure is far less air tight compared to e.g. the Bambus. And while ASA it not as nasty as ABS it still anything but healthy.

Codeberg is operated by a German registered chairty foundation - the can’t legally be bought at all.

Hard aka impossible to buy a German registered charity.

Came here to recommend the Snapmaker U1 as well. Put a Panda breath in it for heating (while ASA works reasonably well without it, it is nicer with one) and your set. Support for different nozzles per print is now available, but I haven’t tried it.

And the firmware is open source enough for basically all uses.

I came from.Bambu and am very happy I made the switch.

FYI: The writer works for a AI-based security company and,well,seems to fit in there.

Funny enough I came here to tell a similar story: We were surprised by upcoming bad weather with the possibility of a thunderstorm in the alps somewhat - we saw it coming, but underestimated the speed. (That was before Smartphones btw, so no weather app).

There is a Y junction on that trail. One leads to a serviced hut (which we hate, the people operating it were assholes) and towards the “wrong” valley. It’s shorter but yeah…the wrong direction.

The other way leads through a small section of a fixed rope/via ferrata section but straight towards our cars. We thought we would have enough time.

Around 5min after entering the route (which goes further up far beyond where we enter) we find out it takes longer than anticipated and it’s a proper alpine thunderstorm. Which is coming fast now. Well, if you haven’t seen a proper thunderstorm in the mountains - they are something else. Due to the higher pressure gradients, the interference with the terrain,etc. they are absolutely terrifiying. And deadly. If the lighting doesn’t get you the cold will (I literally saw temperature drops of 27 degrees in 20 minutes). And it that doesn’t get you the stones will.

Well. Slight panic set in,but we can handle. Not our first rodeo. Until our hair started to “levitate” a bit under the helmets, on the arms,etc. And then the steel wires started to “sing”. Kind of like a Theremin.

This when we knew we were fucked. Going back up? Means exposing us more. Down the wires? Likely going to electrocute us.

So we decided to get down directly. Stupidest decision I ever was part of in the mountains. because we didn’t really know the terrain below us,but it’s around 180m to the ground and then around 500m of mountain pasturr before the forest starts. Our logic was that the risk from the steel wire is higher than the risk of being forced to weather out in the rock wall. What would have happened if we didn’t find a good intermediate stand at one point I don’t know. (None has a 180m rope with one…so you need to find a lot of intermediate stands to secure yourself. This is normally done upwards,not downards. At least we had two ropes which makes things much easier. )

We send the girl that was with us down first (as she was the lightest and the best climber). And actually made it down surprisingly quick. But fuck…that could have gone wrong. When we were basically at the bottom a lighting hit a section just above were we would have been. Pelting a section a bit to the left of us with football sized stones.

There is a scene in rick and Morty where thex are crying in their car how close the last adventure was - it was basically us in the car, we all were shaking for a day.

You can’t live in them directly, but I literally lived within 2min from there for a few years.

These clocks were installed far later than the towers.

The construction for the first one started in 1233.

The one with the part of the wall missing is from 1260, they are all part of the old defence walls of the city of Villingen.

I literally drove through two of them today.

Have you had a look at AgentDVR recently?

Depends.

My main job it would be interesting. I mainly plan for organisations how to handle disasters. Not necessarily IT disasters but actual one - what happens if your hospital is on fire, your airline has hundreds of people stranded somewhere (yeah, we had a bad time recently), your muncipial water supply goes bad, the Russians actually come,etc.

If AI can do that on a level it replaces my staff and me…well…good for everyone else,because right now it’s a underdeveloped and rarely looked upon issue.

In my side job I am still working in my original trade as a critical care paramedic. Until AI can fully replace one there it will take a long time (but we see a lof of actually beneficial developments that makes the job insanely more easy and capable) and I am very likely retired by then. What is far more likely is that societies won’t be able to pay for proper healthcare anymore…and that would be “not replaced” technically, I guess.

While it’s a ressource hog look into xwiki. It is well suited for what you want to do and afaik there I came around a basic asset management plugin once.

So does homebox and basically ever OSS software mentioned here. BTW: Got some source for that?

Depending on what your exact needs are,but Snipe-IT is surprisingly decent for a Home Asset Management System, even though it is mainly geared towards IT stuff.

Dedicated Proxmox VM. Raspis are notoriously getting on my nerves so I basically purged most of them ouf of my environment. I now have a proper rack and multiple nodes,but used to run it on a used mini PC as a proxmox VM as well.

Zimablade/board are also a great choice,btw.

“I am very sure my husband has no heart attack. I am a homeopathic and this is clearly not a heart attack. You don’t know what you are doing.”

I am a paramedic for 24 years, a critical care paramedic for 16. The husband had such a “myocardial infarction out of the book”-ECG it almost looked twice. He literally almost coded on us twice. And this lady walzes in (funny enough: They were in the process of separating) and after 60 sec. decides she knows what’s up.

Homeopathy therapists here have no formal training. Just a state exam that makes sure they don’t kill someone too often.

The husband barely made it,personally I think mostly out of spite for her. Had a cardiac arrest twice while in the cathlab,but survived without neurological issues.

It’s really really rare that I am out of words and don’t have a comeback. But that woman in that moment?

(For the medical folks: Massive STEMI accross 3 leads, massive contractility issue visible on POCUS, later on become pressure dependended, had VF arrest during PCI, needed an impella for two weeks)
