mrmlz··on Jellyfin 12.0
Newer TiZEN models has a jellyfin app now in the appstore!
mrmlz··on I turned my security cameras into an automatic bird identification system
I like my TRMLN it has been very solid.
mrmlz··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
Bauhaus has huge saws that they use to cut particle boards. They are not routers so i don't think they would do the cutout for a sink however.
mrmlz··on Why jet engines aren't made in China
Lol.

Do you think todays aircraft are not designed with the idea that the engine can fail?

And if you have unreliable components do you think redundancy is going to save you?

And lets be real - there already exist a aerospace arena where you have a higher number of CAT-events - it's called the military. And they deal with it by having a parachute for each passenger..

No - in effect building jet-engines (that are commercially viable i.e. fuel and efficeny) is not a easy to disrupt business. And the cost of entering it would be - high. And the benefit, well less obvious.

mrmlz··on A 10 year old Xeon is all you need
Back from my old overclocking days - its heat that kills life. And if you keep that under control (what ages is the heatpaste, replace it ever so often) i very much doubt you'll have any life issues from the cpu itself.

Bearings in fans, caps etc. are also stuff that you need to keep an eye on.

I just replaced a i5-660 thats been powered on since 2010 24/7, heatpaste was fucked so it crashed during heavy loads :)

mrmlz··on State of Homelab 2026
Ah okay 150w is not _that_ bad - more than a rpi for sure but still :)

And another cpu+chipset is always going to eat som Watts just by existing.

mrmlz··on State of Homelab 2026
I've recently upgraded my ageing X8SIL Supermicro with an i5 to a X10 Sm board with a 2960 V4 14core Xeon... I was expecting a horrible power situation but it's less than 100w with a handful of spinning disks etc.

I see lots of people complaining on power with their re-used ProLiant and others etc. Is it the throttling or bios settings that messes with the idle power?

Or are you just running it at 100% and my low usage is what saves my electricity bill?

mrmlz··on Iran war energy shock sparks global push to reduce fossil fuel dependence
You are aware of our different price-markets in sweden right? SE4 is priced at the export prices for Danish wind and German goal - which sucks for Swedes in SE4 (and to some extent SE3). SE4 can eat their own dogfood since they cut the Nuclear Power and are now burning oil instead (Karlshamnsverket).
mrmlz··on Iran war energy shock sparks global push to reduce fossil fuel dependence
At scale.
mrmlz··on Iran war energy shock sparks global push to reduce fossil fuel dependence
As a Swede i'd like to cut the cord to Denmark/Germany. That would greatly reduce our electricity costs in south/mid Sweden.

Let them enjoy their "cheap" wind and battery solution.

mrmlz··on ICE using Palantir tool that feeds on Medicaid data
It has worked great in Sweden until a decade or so ago! Depends on the population and general sense of community.
mrmlz··on Kraków, Poland in top 5 worst air quality worldwide
Poorly dried wood?

We just installed a second woodburningstove in our house, https://www.contura.eu/en-gb .. and i mean you can mess up your fire by burning wet wood etc. or... paper i dunno.

But dried wood burns really clean, absolutely no smell INSIDE the house (wtf?!) and outside you see a thin whisp of smoke from the chimney.

mrmlz··on Greenpeace pilot brings heat pumps and solar to Ukrainian community
Why wouldnt a heatpump work during the winter? I.e. the entire nordic uses heatpumps..
mrmlz··on Xfce is great
XFCE is x11 only which might alleviate some Wayland bugs with nvidia.
mrmlz··on The biggest heat pumps
Yeah i feel like the other answers tries to gaslight me and downvoting to hide the ugly truth! :)

Would you say modern (i.e. <10 years) are properly insulated and built or are there still... shortcuts?

mrmlz··on The biggest heat pumps
It is weird, especially since Germany usually is quite a bit cheaper when it comes to tools, construction materiel etc. compared to Sweden.
mrmlz··on The biggest heat pumps
Yes! I was told "its easier to replace when it freezes" :) Obviously older houses.
mrmlz··on The biggest heat pumps
Hrm. It might be cheaper than in Germany but its not cheap in Sweden except for the most nordic parts (hydro).

South Sweden - i think the prices are more on par with germany.

mrmlz··on The biggest heat pumps
UK houses are really interesting.. Single-glass windows, poor insulation etc. And plumbing on the OUTSIDE(!) :)

Are the boilers typically connected to water-radiators?.. I assume so based on the word "boiler".

There are heatpumps that are used to heat water so it would be a slot in replacement..

mrmlz··on Nokia N900 Necromancy
Sure i can join you on the barricade, but i still want to function in a society :(
mrmlz··on Nokia N900 Necromancy
I loved my N9. But i'm somewhat hesitant on preordering that one. I need wireless charging.. And i still dont really get if Android-apps actually work or not, i.e. swedish Bank-Id/Swish etc.
mrmlz··on My stages of learning to be a socially normal person
You should probably figure out why - unless you are ok with nobody liking you. If _everyone_ finds you annoying or difficult being around, you most like are annoying and difficult to deal with.

How you go about figuring what bugs people is perhaps the hard part.

mrmlz··on Being poor vs. being broke
Way to dismiss his life achievement as "being lucky"
mrmlz··on How the U.S. National Science Foundation enabled Software-Defined Networking
The number is not what is relevant in his comment.
mrmlz··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
Slackware-current is pretty current. And sbopkg has quite a lot of packages. I run it on my homeserver (and has been for the last..10-15? years or so). Since everything that I host uses docker its easy as pie to keep it running.

ZFS via ZoL etc.

As a daily driver i use PopOs! which is very nice since the've packaged nvidiadrivers etc. and I mainly use it to play games.

mrmlz··on Are hard drives getting better?
I've hosted my own data for twenty something years - and bitrot occurs but it is basically caused by two things.

1) Randomness <- this is rare 2) HW-failures <- much more common

So if you catch hw-failures early you can live a long life with very little bitrot... Little =! none so zfs is really great.

mrmlz··on An opinionated critique of Duolingo
Well German and Germany took a significant hit after WW2, you will face the same disgust for a generation or two depending on you future behavior.
mrmlz··on Boeing has started working on a 737 MAX replacement
I loved my N9, truly one of the best experiences i've had with a mobile phone. I've watched Sailfish from a distance but their very limited choice of phones have always been off-putting.
mrmlz··on Lördagsgodis (Saturday Sweets)
Or you know - the myriad of world changing inventions, Nobel prize, insane amount of popular music, musicians and producers.

But yeah keep focusing on skincolor :)

mrmlz··on Wikipedia loses challenge against Online Safety Act
My point being - i might agree with SDs migration policy and not much else. I might agree on Ms taxcuts etc. etc. But I still have to pick and chose the lesser evil.

Maybe 8 parties narrows the lesser evil down a bit.. But they all end up in coalition anyway so I'm pretty sure i get the same amount of evil as in a 2-party system.
