According to the study, the United States west of the Mississippi River experienced some of the world’s highest levels of rain consolidation, with yearly rainfall for the Rocky Mountains becoming 20% more compacted into heavier downpours.

It does!

Apparently this is a regular thing in Australia, when I searched ‘mouse plague Perth’ I got videos from 2 weeks ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago, 5 years ago…

the judge ruled that there appeared to be a ‘terrorist connection’ as the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting its access to weapons.

This is suuuch a stretch.

I don’t know, sorry.

If you wire the panels in series then the total voltage will be the sum of all the panels’ voltages. The final amps will be the amps of the weakest panel.

If you wire the panels in parallel then the max voltage will be the voltage of the weakest panel but the amps will be the sum of all the panels’ amps.

So it depends what your charge controller can handle. High volts or high amps. Also series and parallel react differently to partial shade. I can’t remember the details, only that parallel seems to cope much better.

High voltage (24v or higher, ideally 48v) is good for longer distances as transmitting electricity at 12v suffers losses after a few meters unless you have extremely thick wires. If your panels are < 4 meters from your plug/controller then parallel panels (with it’s lower voltage) will be ok.

Don’t skimp on fuses. If anything goes wrong you want the panels to be cut off, not pumping electrons into the fire.

I started sketching one for PieFed a couple of weeks ago, intending to use it to dogfood api improvements. No progress beyond paper, yet.

There are a couple of abandoned rust Lemmy clients, one called lemmy-terminal-viewer and another lemoa (gtk). They probably wouldn’t need much kicking into shape.

Of the hundreds of AI-generated PRs we received in this time, virtually none were merged.

In the city, with wind funneling between tall buildings, the wind can be extremely variable and gusty. I doubt the practicality of that a lot of the time. It certainly caught my attention though.

System config. Piefed.ca is put together different than others in a way that is way more scalable but much harder to get right.

I’ve been using JetBrains Mono and Maple looks the same but nicer. Thanks!

Even though you might post into a Lemmy community, piefed.social still has to store the original copy of the meme.

It would be good if the instance chooser showed content retention policies in some way so people could take that into account when they choose an instance.

This addresses some really difficult and long-standing problems and I really look forward to seeing the result.

I’ve had my eye on FIRES for some time and this funding will take it from fringe niche thing to the big time.

This comm is ‘futurology’, if you don’t like dreaming about what might happen, perhaps this isn’t the comm for you.

industry forecasts indicate that roughly 100 European ports will have the necessary charging infrastructure by 2030.

All piefed.social communities have infinite retention. Our stuff is high quality and worth keeping forever, it’s just the trashy Lemmy content that gets deleted ;-)

It is off by default. Admins can set the content retention policy on any community.

On piefed.social I’ve set pretty much every meme, shitpost and anime community to expire after one year or less. Check the sidebar of the community to see, it’s beneath the moderator list.
