I think amp-hours are confusing and I wish they just gave us battery life figures in joules in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Joules are already a unit that people use in daily life

Some people, sure. You and some in your close circle of acquaintances likely use it.

Not once have I ever needed to measure something in joules. I suspect that many people, if not most, don't use joules in daily life.

    Oh yeah absolutely. That's what this HA update sounds like it's solving, which is very exciting! Going to need to pick up some ESP32s with IR myself now. The SofaBaton is a higher quality product that matches the Harmony which is why I brought it up

    How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    [–] 6 points 7 months ago (1 child)

    Oh I more than understood your question, as much as there was one. I'm taking the piss out of you because your question is more of a rant than anything else.

    Move somewhere else if you don't like it. You live in an industrial area. As do I, where the trains stop traffic multiple times per day since we have lumber yards here. And we all deal with it because we chose to live here.

    The fuel costs of having the train do what it does, even though it's an inconvenience for you, will certainly be substantially less than them catering to you. That's by my estimation though. If you have data showing otherwise, let's take a look at it.

    That's a separate issue. You asked a question, and an answer was given.

    I bet that your city is used to having trains, seeing as they're pretty major infrastructure, and had the good sense to have multiple police and fire stations on each side, thus not negatively impacting their response times.

    Have you called the station managers or whatever to file an official complaint? If not, you're wasting your time complaining here.

    Server being blasted by programming.dev? (lemmy.world)
     

    Hello! I'm working on my home server trying to get some networking problems solved, and out of nowhere my nginx is suddenly being hit from this instance tens of times per second. I'm at several thousand lines in just 10 minutes. I'm still new to networking stuff, trying to learn what I can. Is this normal?!

    Edit: For some background, I used to roll my own instance, but as I wasn't very comfortable yet with network security and all that I pulled it down. This was maybe a year and a half ago. I get lots of lemmy instances looking to check in, since they think my instance still exists, but this is a bit much...

    Edit 2 to fix the photo

    Edit 3: I'm reading that returning 410 Gone should tell the instance that mine is permanently gone, so I'm going to set that up in nginx. According to pull #5256, since I'm returning a 4xx error more than 3 days it should have already stopped.

    Update: programming.dev seems to be respecting the 410 pretty quick! I installed Grafana to finally see some network stats, and hopefully lemmy.world and .ml will respect it as well in the next couple days (Stats started recording when the container went live, and .dev stopped pretty quick afterwards)

    A vertical mouse that doesn't break down (lemmy.world)
     

    Over the last few years I've gone through a couple Logitech MX Verticals. My current one does technically work, but just like the last one the cheap rubber coating has started disintegrating and is pretty nasty at this point.

    Anyone have good recs for a vertical mouse that won't start crumbling like a dry cake in my hand? I'm not picky on buttons or anything, just work with a bunch of spreadsheets at work. The vertical mouse is just much better for my wrist.

    2006 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 Ignition Coil Replacement (lemmy.world)
     

    Hello mechanics!

    I've got some coils and spark plugs that need replacing (Along with likely needing to send my ECM in for a repair). I've verified that they're the likely culprit of many of my issues with my local mechanic, but wanted to verify with more internet experts on what to buy.

    From what I understand, Motorcraft is the recommended OEM, and I've no problem spending the money if that is the right direction, but I wanted to see if any of these "Premium" alternatives on RockAuto would be a good or better choice, such as the Hitachi with "Magnetic Shield for EMI Protection" (A common cause for ECM damage in this make/model apparently).

    Thanks in advance!

    Gift Ideas (lemmy.world)
     

    My wife's birthday is coming up and she is HUGE into the Sonic franchise, but doesn't have much in the way of collectibles or memorabilia.

    What would a Sonic fan who's played the games, read the comics, knows the lore, etc. LOVE to get as a gift? I'm thinking rare collectible type stuff. Likely something I'll need to get off eBay.
