I was positive this was going to be the onion.

… I really wish this was the onion.

Aha, the separate breaker box is the part I wasn’t thinking about. I’ll need to do some thinking on how I could make that work for me. Thank you for the info.

Out of curiosity, how do you have that setup (at a high level)?

I’ve got a bluetti system for emergency power (12kWh, 6kW AC output) but I need to plug things directly into it. It’d be nice to feed it directly to my house wiring but … selectively. That is, I wouldn’t want to power the HVAC but it would be nice to not have to shuffle the fridge/freezer plugs from the wall to the inverter.

Dedicated circuit(s) with a manual switch from mains to inverter, I’m guessing? But then we get into all the extras required to do that safely and avoid back feeding the grid.

Granted, they have systems/setups specifically for whole house power but I don’t want to feed the whole house, just the important circuits/appliances.

It took three years but we’ve almost rooted it all out.

There’s still one ancient product that will (theoretically) decommission in mid 2028. It makes enough money to cover the Oracle licensing but isn’t worth reworking to migrate.

Knowing how decom goes, I’m sure it’ll still be running in 2035 with that one last client who “can’t move to the newer, better, easier project because… Reasons (I don’t wanna)”

“the 1900s”

I recently picked up a 2024 model moto g power 5g. The main reason is that I needed the cheapest smart phone I could find locally to test a new provider (phreeli) before committing. That, and to serve as a ready backup if one of ours dies. $115 at a big box store.

It’s… fine. Even after debloating I get about half the battery life of my galaxy s20 which is now 5 years old. I haven’t been able to figure out what’s eating it, or maybe it just has a smaller battery… I should check that.

I learn something new every day, thanks bud.

They’re not supposed to put chicken shit on the sandwich unless you specifically request it.

There are times when things need to be broken. But I also definitely understand your angle.

I can tell you to rest for, I dunno, $500?

(Jokes aside, that’s shitty and I’ve been there)

Did Mira used to be Avon?

I switched.

But what about videos of DOGS farting?

It’s being pushed very hard by management where I work and I’m consistently seeing the same as above. I mentioned on another thread recently that I’ve heard “I don’t know why Claude did that” multiple times over the past few weeks.

It’s infuriating.

I’m not sure if “abcess” was intentional (“abscess”) or a typo (“absence”) but either way… it works.

I’m still running SATA spinny disks for my big-ish data. I can’t afford a 16TB SSD…

I know that’s off topic, but HDDs are still a thing too.

This.

Some of my favorite movies are “bad” movies. I’ve got a friend who feels the same way and we SMS each other single line movie titles and just know the other will understand.

A recent SMS was “poultrygeist night of the chicken dead” … It was fantastic

Mine runs on my desktop that I built in 2016. So yes. I also tested it on a Lenovo tiny (similar to a NUC) that I’m using as a self host “server” and it seemed fine but I didn’t try any heavy transcoding yet.
