With newsletter software issues, and realizing that you should own your stack anyway, here’s S3E1 of the delayed Weightshifting on my site.

I just read that a single Bitcoin transaction requires upwards of 1,000 kW-hr of electricity.

That’s like running a small air conditioner 24/7 for a month and a half.

@tkinias Now I’m confused how my heat pump is supposed to be so efficient, yet is spec’d at 6kWh. Small window a/c units can be ~0.5 kWh??

(Not to take away from the horrendous power usage of crypto)

mez,
@mez@mastodon.nz avatar

@theelectricteal @tkinias Ah 15m^2 isn’t too big, but my heat pump definitely struggles with the space I have (probably around 40m^2?) Quick look says a 6kW pump should handle an open area 27-40 m^2. Probably helps to have a modern build though w/good insulation and windows 😅

Having a heck of a time with Buttondown working and the editor completely flaking out. Thus a delay on Weightshifting — I’d have published this to my site in minutes compared to the hours I’ve been trying to get Buttondown to work or send a properly formatted email.

Just another reason to own your stack, and begs the question: do I bother with the email/newsletter? Just publish to the site and maybe have Buttondown pick it up from an RSS feed (which seems like a more reasonable direction)?

@nazhamid I signed up for the email, but would be even happier with an RSS feed.

Cleaning up my HD get some storage space back and I'd like a script that goes through and removes the node_modules folder whenever the files in the parent folder haven't been touched in a month or more. Inactive project? No need for node_modules, just reinstall if it's ever worked on again.

Actually starting to wonder if there’s anything wrong with this idea. I’d scope it to a couple project directories for safety and speed. Seems like returning to an old project would want npm ci instead of npm install

Sanity check me, Mastodon, what else am I missing?

mez,
@mez@mastodon.nz avatar

@kaspi Yeah, that’s my thought too, but it’d end up a problem either way eventually I think.

11ty peeps, say I have the following:

pages/

  • 10-my-first-page.md
  • 20-my-second-page.md
  • 30-my-third-page.md

I'm setting the permalink thusly:

permalink: "{{ page.filePathStem }}/"

What is the easiest way to get 11ty to ignore the number in the slug that I am using just for sorting purposes? I would like the permalink to be, for example:

/pages/my-first-page/index.html

But currently I get:

/pages/10-my-first-page/index.html

@bw The side benefit is it stops you from ever writing listicles "7-must-use-JS-frameworks.md" (there's 0, and the filter rightfully messes this title up)

I now know of 4 friends who left Optus and got prepaid aldi sims. 3 immediately after the big breach, and one waited out their contracts and has just left recently.

You can opt to keep your number, but I chose to start fresh (given the breach and all) - and it’s my preference because it stops scams dead in their tracks.

You’re really mostly getting scam calls / texts because your number has been on the dark web for years and years. And probably is marked as “answers” or “replies”

@miclgael That’s a big mobile plan savings! I’m slowly moving things over to self-hosted, but need to make sure I have better redundancy for hardware failure

While building my new site in , which is a new tool for me, I wonder if it’s time for me to learn and as well.

I notice that I over and over again make a backup copy of a Nunjucks partial or my eleventy.config.js before trying something (that more often than not breaks some things). And sometimes I lose track on where I’m in my dev process.

Would I benefit from version control? Any relevant tutorials to share?

mez,
@mez@mastodon.nz avatar

@anders It’s pretty handy for that sort of trial and error use case. You also don’t have to have it duplicated remotely (like GitHub), but it isn’t a ton more to learn at that point to have it and get backups. Though maybe look at a non Microsoft option?

Anyone used Runtipi for handling all their self-hosted software? Particularly on an RPi? Right now I manage software directly from the terminal, both directly installed or in Docker containers. How do you find it?

(I'll also take recs on other monitoring/management software, especially for remotely accessible services)

If the Kroger-Albertsons merger goes through, that combined company + Walmart would control 70% of the grocery market in over 160 cities.

Think grocery prices are bad now?

Without competition, it would be a price gouging free-for-all.

This is why the FTC is suing to stop it.

@rbreich @zeldman Oh yeah, stop this! NZ has two chains, like Aus, and it’s bad.

Any fluent German/English speakers out here? I have a translation question. Technical knowledge would be helpful, but I doubt that’s necessary as it’s a more generic question I hope.

    @scott You can get induction compatible Moka Pots, I have friends who recently made the gas-> induction switch. I’m sure you can find a buyer for the old one!

    I would love to make the switch too! No space for anything but the on-demand gas-heated hot water though, so probably couldn’t get rid of it completely :( But getting the gas flame out of the house would be great. Better health too.
