How far can you go with EVs in Canada? A closer look at range, battery life
Reply in thread
I'd argue that people who travel 300-350km / day are outliers. For those people, maybe an EV isn't an option yet.

Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production
Reply in thread
Judging from that graph, it looks like the sodium ion batteries are about as energy dense as Li-ion was in 2020, which is far from useless. Li-ion may still be the best but at a point, there's "good enough" for many applications (eg cellphones) if the price is low enough.

What's good in small concentrations, but lethal in higher? What's a glaring red flag you're encroaching on a lethal concentration?

For dental pain I recommend ibuprofen (advil). Seems to work significantly better than acetaminophen (Tylenol) and seems to be much safer.

Is anyone using awk?
I use it multiple times a day. I only know basic usage, but it's super useful as part of an awk/grep/sort/uniq pipeline, basically just extracting a field to work on.

HP 800 G2s - The Pi killers
I have an HP 800 G4 arriving in the mail any day now. Right now I run most of my stuff on a pi3, including openvpn, transmission, minidlna, grafana, backuppc, and postgresql. I'm looking forward to porting all of that, plus suricata and dnsmasq, onto the G4 when it arrives.

Proper HDD clear process?
Reply in thread
Shred is what I used when destroying a bunch of old drives.
Then I disassbled them to pull out the magnets and platters (because they're shiny and cool). A couple had torx screws that I didn't have the right end for so I ran a hdd magnet over the surface and scratched them with a screwdriver.

Video from inside a "Bradley" IFV showing the destruction of a Russian APC and infantry.
Mmm need more interior of Bradley videos. Like some of the BTR videos from the start of the conflict.

Dungeon Keeper - To this day still an amazing game!
I preferred DK2 to the first one, but it's hella crashy.

DAE use GnuCash for personal finances?
Reply in thread
I tried gnucash but also went to homebank. It isn't perfect, but I found it worked a lot better for my purposes than gnucash.

I really enjoy the oats studio short movies on YouTube. I wish they could film a full length one.

I don't remember anything specific. I think homebank just felt simpler. I'm just using it to track personal finances across a few bank accounts and a couple of credit cards, so I didn't need anything special.

Quickly transferring files between PC and phone
For single files, I use qrcp
