@thing is there anything relevant in dmesg? it sounds like you might be missing firmware

good morning!

nini fediverse

github doesn't support ipv6, but judging by their uptime they're at least doing their best to also not support ipv4

@kemona_halftau same, I think

actually not exactly at 00:00 UTC, because apparently that’s at the start of the final pip, but a few milliseconds earlier than usual

rip radio 4 longwave

I recorded the last few minutes listening via an online SDR. it’s interesting that the final beep of the the pips is shorter than usual - it seems they did indeed stop broadcasting at exactly 00:00 UTC

4 minutes

I want to listen to the final broadcast but I don't have a radio capable of tuning to 198kHz, so I'll use one of those online SDR receivers (and hopefully it works)

21 minutes until the end of radio 4 longwave

@kemona_halftau nini

@niko we have an air conditioner running in one room now and it uses a lot of power, without it we were using something like ~8 kWh per day. now even though we still generate more power than we use, since it's still running for a while after the sun sets it quickly drains the batteries and we import some power from the grid at night

@niko today we used 19.3 kWh (but produced 25.4 kWh)

@kemona_halftau in practice they are certainly often used synonymously but I'm not sure whether that is actually correct or not

@kemona_halftau I know someone on IRC that insists that they're different, but I didn't really understand their explanation of why.

@mcc @dotstdy by dynamically linking to glibc. glibc is backwards-compatible, so if you have a newer version of glibc than the version the appimage was built with then it works

@mcc @dotstdy they don't, which is why they (usually) don't work on systems using musl instead of glibc

32°C indoors now

how do people in places where it is regularly >40°C survive (especially without air conditioning)? it is 35°C here and that is already far too hot

@fediplayssnake I'm curious as to what the consequences worse than being banned could've been
