I just looked back and my first vault item dates back to 2010. Time flies.

I think enshittification is slightly an overstatement. They’re under VC pressure now and moving aggressively towards a subscription model with capabilities increasingly behind the subscription. I bought a few licenses for Mac and PC a while ago; the software still works but no browser extensions - need a subscription for that. Also, take a look at their job postings. Same job pays double in USA vs Canada. Funny way to do things if they’re Canadian.

It was a password safe before password safes were cool. https://www.pwsafe.org/2002.shtml

Personally, 1Password, but their enshittifaction is serious.

Work, Password Safe. But we’re moving to CyberArk.

Tesla sales tumble 13% as Musk backlash, competition and aging lineup turn off buyers in c/[email protected]

TSLA at this moment is up nearly 5% for the day, and 13.37% in last 6months.

Musk Stans are stupid AF.

Tesla shares rise on unconfirmed report Elon Musk could be leaving DOGE post soon in c/[email protected]

Tesla shares rose

As if somehow his involvement at Tesla is a good thing.

If they could build a car that competes with BYD and other Chinese manufacturers in cost, it might be worth a fraction of its current value, but they cannot. Their cars are aging, the tech isn’t leading edge anymore, and they haven’t demonstrated that they have learned how to move from design to production without a huge on-ramp. Their PE should be lower than Ford or even VW.

Texas also has a maternal mortality rate is worse than the next two states combined.

Abstinence is extremely effective. However, it’s impractical and associated with moralists and the piss-poor “sex education” that Americans get.

But it is 100% effective.

And yes, the best way to build a house that will never, ever fall down is to not build one. It is impractical, and beside the point, but it is true!

On another platform, yep.

It’s good to see an alternative, even though it’s going to be caught up in the precious fragile masculinity discussion.

You know what’s insane? Handing out hormonal birth control to 14 year old girls. Also, having women take hormones for decades on end.

I know this is solarDIY, but it seems like a good place for this anyways. Tl;dr is there a good way to integrate wind and solar without spending a bundle?

Sun only shines during the day, and as distances from the equator increase, day lengths get shorter, and cloudier, and angles get steeper. However, my location has steady prevailing winds. So much so, there’s a wind farm practically in the back garden.

Which has me thinking that instead of a ton of panels and a big battery bank (to make use of sunnier days), a little 1kw or so turbine would go a really long way - especially for steady and/or long-running loads like router/server/modem, refrigerator, heat pump…

I understand that wind turbines make some dreadful power and it tends to be AC. They’re also a bit of a pain to situate but that’s sorta secondary. Let’s say I spin up 10kw of solar, a pile of LiFe batteries, and an eg4 AIO with grid-tie. Is there a reasonable, and safe way to integrate wind? I know one guy who just hooked it straight to his batteries but they were lead acid, and they cooked in a storm. Gave him an excuse to get a big life system instead.
