Anti Malware with Linux
  • To be fair there are known vulnerabilities such as xz in a specific version range that can be detected. While it's not needed as long as you stay up to date, it might be one avenue to look at

  • The mask ban shit is unreal.
  • The problem with odd is that it prevents you from doing things that you want to do but you still want to do it or recognize that you need to do it but now lack the motivation or will. Unlike conservatives, you are just unable to and not loudly and violently opposed to it

  • will i damage my car electrical system with a 24v solar panel
  • A car output is going to be ~12-14Vdc and the solar panel at 24V. You do not want to connect those two together. Ideally you have some kind of switch that connects the input to the bluetti only to the solar panel or only to the car outlet, and to the car output only if it is present. You can probably use a contactor or a heavy duty relay that is 12V and connect the NC contact to the panels, NO to the car, and COM to the bluetti. Add a capacitor to dampen spikes whenever the system switches and connect the grounds together. A bjt jank, and also have to check the relay ratings / coil power usage

  • will i damage my car electrical system with a 24v solar panel
  • An inverter is DC to AC. What he needs is DC to DC if anything. It should also not be put in parallel with the output of either type of converter because they can be backdriven and AC+solar panel does not sound like a good combo

  • The world's only coal-to-nuclear reactor plant just broke ground in Wyoming
  • Coal plant burns coal to heat water, makes steam, and the steam powers a turbine to produce electricity. A nuclear power plant uses nuclear fuel to heat water and produce steam similar to a coal plant. It may do this indirectly (e.g. second loop between the nuclear fuel and water loop to prevent the water becoming radioactive). This means that to build a nuclear plant you essentially need to build a coal plant, and then also the nuclear reactor and safety stuff, which makes them more expensive. Since coal plants are being turned off anyways, it might be more cost effective to just retrofit old coal plants so the only cost is the nuclear reactor side of things (plus any necessary maintenance and upgrades)

  • just bought a Nanode 1GB from Linode
  • Also if you want a domain but dont care about the actual address, a .xyz domain composed entirely of numbers with less than 10 digits is $1-2 + same as renewal fee per year. $1.22 for me on porkbun

    Just be sure to redact the whois information bc you will get a call from scammers trying to get you to register your domain on some "internet map" for a small fee acting as if its some step in your setup process you havent done yet

  • Top Five
  • Behavior is called mobbing

    Its not worth it for the predator animal to go after a bunch of smaller birds that are harassing it so they tend to leave. Its also done to steal the predators meal when they leave or to distract it while another bird steals its food. Also draws attention to them to prevent them going stealth, which can affect bjrds like owls, who tend to be victim to this type of attack from prey birds. This makes them leave because their main weapon is stealth and when their cover is blown, they will have a harder tome catching prey (including the mobbing birds' babies)

  • Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it - Gothamist
  • Typically if you report the phone stolen to your provider they blacklist the IMEI which gets shared with other providers so the phone can no longer be used. I was unclear on this part but a new e-sim can be provided for the new phone, and the old sim banned or the old one transferred. Regardless, the old phone will still show the IMEI/sim/phone number, which is how they got that to text them

  • Paint used for the images on the side of the glass had heavy metals (e.g. cadmium). As the paint flaked it became possible to ingest it. A mom who for some reason had an XRF gun (x-ray fluorescence, allows identifying element makeup of things. Useful for identifying material or ore content) and saw a ton of cadmium then went and reported it

    SOC support PMICs
    chaos.social jaseg (@jaseg@chaos.social)

    I just found an interesting genre of weird but potentially useful chip: System support PMICs for large SoCs such as BD71805 (2$, i.MX SoCs), RK809 (2$, Rockchip SoCs) or WL2868 (50ct, Omnivison SoCs). These chips provide between 7 and around a dozen DC/DC or LDO channels with digitally configurable ...
