Each #bash #script uses a few MB each, #nginx uses some, #screen uses some, etc, etc.Because of lack of #ram for the #coffeespace #server , I find myself #typing into a #gvim #window more often to pre-write #messages for this #platform . It has got me thinking, I could probably #write a small #offline #application that does exactly this, and #sends this stuff when it comes back #online . It would also mean I could #port this to much #smaller #devices without having to worry about #resources . I just need a way to #confirm a #message was sent...
A bit late on this one but the #uk will have 3 hour #blackouts this #winter https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/uk-nati.. Apparently we would get just one day #notice and the #aim would be to #reduce #power by 5%. I suspect most people will just #plan their #activity for another day, or #travel to somewhere with #power .
Probably now running too much on the #coffeespace #server , it keeps #crashing due to low #ram ! There aren't many tricks left in my book to #reduce the #ram on the #server . The largest #program is actually #deadsocial ... Using 20% of the #ram all by itself.
#liztruss 's #policy on #subsidizing #uk #energy is not one I agree with: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tlH5tgT1ilc It doesn't #incentivize people to #reduce the #usage of a #scarce and #expensive #resource . Maybe #gordanbrown 's #idea of a #partial #temporary #nationalisation could work, or creating a #rival #energy #company to #drive #prices down. #labour 's #idea is #dumb .
Oh wow, #germnay are already taking drastic action to #reduce #energy usage as #nordstream #naturalgas is running massively under #capacity , thanks to #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ge.. Of course, #germany is *still* using #russian #energy , despite telling everybody else not to. If only they had listened to #trump when he #warned them years ago.
Hah, #nyt #newyorktimes are now telling their #journalists to #reduce #twitter #usage after #elonmusk bought 10% of their #shares https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/nyt.. Very telling.
Seems like a bunch of #governments will be handing out #payments to #offset against #energy #costs https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/german-.. Surely it would make sense just to temporarily #reduce #tax ? Anyway, I assume #companies will do all they can to #absorb these #additional #taxpayer #funds ...
These 3D #printed #key #switches are absolutely awesome! https://hackaday.com/2022/01/17/3d-print.. By the time I go to get a new #mechanical #keyboard - I might even be able to build it completely from scratch! I would probably look to #simplify the #design though, #reduce number of #parts , #reduce number of #magnets , #reduce #halleffect #sensors , etc. Potentially you could build a #forever #keyboard though!
I think I need to greatly #reduce the #deadsocial #cache size later, it's too large for the #available #ram I have on this #server ... It's currently using about 5MB out of the dedicated 6.4MB - this could be what's causing the occasional crashing during #builds !
