if it’s permanently installed high power device, it only makes sense to wire it directly, like it’s done with ovens, and EV charger draws even more power. why there’s even plug on the way there? it’s not gonna be moved anyway. and while we’re at, why you people don’t have three phase circuits for big loads like this? standard euro five wire three phase 32A circuit (or plug) gets you 22kW, that plug tops off at 9kW

Command detonated mines don’t fall under Ottawa treaty, so you might have had them (these are both claymore-type and OZM72-type)

Neither Ukraine or Russia are on that list, and a couple of countries that do have a possible defensive war against Russia in mind withdrew from that treaty. That and Ottawa treaty (banning AP victim-triggered landmines)

that watermark makes it look a bit like album cover

if these two recently damaged A50s were operational, then they’re down to 4 from 6 before (per Budanov, as announced after two A50s were shot down by first Patriot, then S200)

“proper migration”? like what, spammy ghost town that is/was alien[.]top?

that’s a couple more Backfires that could be guessed from previous publicly available information

yeah, putin’s power comes from being an arbiter between different oligarchs. when he croaks it’ll be shitshow the likes you all haven’t seen since 90s

most of pleroma instances are packed with nazis, go figure

also nostr is mostly altright and cryptobros (but it’s not activitypub)

slightly more seriously: lots of lemmy users came from reddit, but mostly from older demographic (because of old reddit phaseout) and more FOSS-oriented, privacy-aware, tech-literate part (because of API shitshow/alternative apps blockage). there’s some barrier to entry (choice of instance) that would filter off the least technical users. there are some prominent programming oriented fedi servers (programming.dev, infosec.exchange). lemmy in general seems to be more lefty than reddit, less americacentric, and i guess that over half are linux users. i suspect that because of combination of technical skill and older age (compared to reddit) lots of lemmitors have well paying technical jobs (again compared to reddit) which allows/requires them to live in nicer parts of their countries (not specifically cali)

at least this operation won’t leave behind any e-waste, since it all will burn down when orbit maintaining engines inevitably fail

“People are planning 10 gigawatt data centers,” Schmidt said. "Gives you a sense of how big this crisis is. Many people think that the energy demand for our industry will go from 3 percent to 99 percent of total generation

I reasoned that the former Google executive might have bought Relativity Space as a means to support the development of data centers in space.

absolutely not peak of bubble type bullshit, please give microsoft-sized theranos more money, nothing weird or stupid is happening there

last time i’ve seen someone wanting to put compute in orbit it was cryptobros trying to avoid everyone’s jurisdiction, presumably to do some financial crimes there. turns out you can get away with this on earth, so it’s unnecessary

no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california

idk if i want agent orange to get a stroke because on one hand might just die but on the other hand the nonsense he speaks could just get more powerful
