I don’t think this really caught on because not everyone takes care of their batteries to the same degree. Frequently charging to 100% or draining to 0% has some negative impacts reducing range and performance. You’re likely to receive one of these used batteries in your car with a swap.

Imagine doing an engine swap on an ICE vehicle with a used one that never had an oil change.

Anywhere from 150 to 350 kilowatts! Usually 400-800 volts. It’s pretty serious.

lol my kids are always disappointed when we’re done charging on road trips because they weren’t done with the episode of their TV show. We can’t even make it through one whole movie 20 minutes at a time on an all-day road trip. Supercharging really only allows enough time to stretch your legs and go for a quick walk before getting back on the road every ~200 miles or so, which you should absolutely be doing anyway.

I 100% Guarantee you that EV owners spend less time charging their cars than you do getting gas. You don’t have a gas station in your garage (or destination chargers at work, shopping centers, hotels, parking garages etc) that add range to your car while you’re doing literally anything else. You also don’t start every day with a full tank. These destination chargers in parking lots etc are often FREE.

DC fast chargers are only used when you need to travel 200+ miles away. Which isn’t very often.

Example: With the amount that I drive I would need to go out of my way once per week to get gas. This would be conservatively 15 minutes to get to the gas station, pump the gas, and get back on track. With 52 weeks in a year that is about 12-13 hours spent pumping gas into my car. When I get home I plug in my EV and walk away, its fully charged by morning. I spent 0 minutes fuelling it. With occasional road trips I need to use superchargers about 10 times per year at 20 minutes each. ~3 hours vs 13. You would need to fast charge about 50 times per year to start to break even. At 200 miles of range each charge that means you would need to be driving 10,000 miles per year above your normal around-town and commute habits for this to make sense. Like needing to drive straight from NY to LA and back twice every year.

This is a terrible argument against electric cars that needs to die.

lol sorry I broke your mental regex filter

Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:

“I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select ‘Run As Administrator…’ What does it mean?! What do I do!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!”

“I got an error on the page! It says ‘Password incorrect’ What does that mean? How do I fix it?” “Have you tried using the correct password?”

you missed the step where after development slows down, there are hundreds of forks of the project created making it too fragmented to be stable, again resulting in death.

Questions like that are likely to start a war

as others have mentioned there are storage and battery concerns but also Lemmy works best when its consistently available. Then theres the whole roaming IP problem if youre moving on cell networks. Federated instances and communities often won’t be able to find you for updates.

oh god i felt this one. Devs too busy, incompetent or just plain lazy to figure out why their code is so slow, so just have ops throw more CPU and memory at it to brute force performance. Then ops gets to try to explain to management why we are spending $500k per month to AWS to support 50 concurrent users.

i chuckled at the thought of ‘git poop’ being a command. I’m going to alias that to something.

fuck it. rm -rf repository; git clone repository

Been using git since almost as long as its been around, still can’t be bothered to learn to how to fix conflicts.

not sure how long ago that was but duplicati can now validate backups via checksum every time after writing somewhere

Are you able to open it to the internet and put these services behind an auth proxy? that might be the way to do it. Or if it already has login you might be able to put it behind a cloudflare WAF or similar and restrict bots and bad actors.

Duplicati docker container works pretty well

Unraid works this way too. Its perfectly fine as long as you keep frequent writes off it. Use ramdisk when you need scratch space.

create a separate macvlan network and have each container get its own unique IP. Its bad security practice to have it share the host network anyway.

Im pretty happy with protonmail. Email is kind of important you may not want to go with the cheapest option.

That really depends, are you looking for an actual filesystem or (for real) object level storage? Does the frontend have compatibility with s3-type endpoints?

I would recommend a vpn like tailscale to encrypt traffic and not expose your local env to the internet

Here are some self-hosted s3 compatible options: https://geekflare.com/self-hosted-s3/

Although I think you might want to reconsider your architecture here. If you’re planning on self-hosting the storage for a frontend hosted on a VPS somewhere latency is probably going to make for a pretty bad experience.
