Yes, you’d damage the car’s electrical system. First of all it’s not designed to feed in energy through that outlet. It’s made to output energy.

And most importantly: 24V is way too much. 2 times the intended voltage would fry most electronics. Your stereo, the power steering, airbags, … There is a good margin and car electronics are designed to be pretty robust, but you’re pushing it.

I think they’re still fine because what happens is your car battery absorbs that extra voltage. But it’s really dangerous. On a sunny day you’ll charge your car battery beyond the 14V or so the chemistry can handle. And at that point it’ll degrade fast. The acid in there is going to start to boil, producing hydrogen, so in addition to a destroyed battery, you’re in for a small explosion if you’re very unlucky. And once the battery is gone it’ll start frying the cars electronics because now there isn’t anything keeping the voltage down.

Get a switch that exclusively connects either the car or the solar panel to the bluetti. One switch that switches between two things, not an On/Off switch. And make sure it’s rated for the current.

Edit: Or a relais that toggles between both. It can switch if there’s power on the 12V rail, and connect the bluetti to either or.

Hmm, if you have a home network anyways… Maybe you can run AdGuard/PiHole there. I’ve switched to blocky.

I made it listen externally and just configure it in the network settings of my devices to override the automatic DNS server. That way I don’t need to install sth like AdAway on all of my laptops and phones, because I have one central instance.

Is there anything else that blocks video ads? I’ve never found anything except for uBlock which actually works. And I’ve recently learned that you can enable developer mode in Firefox based browsers on Android and install all the Plugins they don’t like you to use on mobile. Like SponsorBlock etc.

You mentioned exactly the two ROMs I’m currently using. GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone. And LineageOS for microG on my Samsung tablet. I’m really happy with both of them.

I don’t use that many proprietary tech so there is little issues for me. My car only has regular old plain bluetooth, so I wouldn’t know. And instead of some add-on firewall/dns adblocker solutions, I’m just using the Librewolf Mull browser with the uBlock plugin.

I think you’re doing it wrong. There are lots of people on Mastodon.

Sure. I think with LVM you have decoupled your partitions from their physical location on the disk. You could shrink and move logical volumes around, make some (free) space for a new one and install a new distro on it. Or just replace the PopOs root with a new operating system.

As I remember it’s not super easy but there are quite some wiki articles about LVM and guides on how to shrink/change LVM volumes including the filesystem inside. LUKS+LVM+ext4 is a pretty common scenario.

However… Having a Backup of important data is always a good idea. Especially when playing around with partitions and filesystems. And more so if you don’t exactly know what you’re doing.

Sure? Maybe also small Wikis for some communities.

Yeah, I think I get it. I mean the analogy is a bit flawed. What she invented is that alike synchronizing the rolls of player pianos, you could build a mechanism that hops frequencies (instead of piano keys) to make remote controlling torpedos resilient against jamming.

Idk. To me it feels like calling the inventor of three-wheeled vehicles the father/mother of cars, if we want to stay with that analogy. It’s remotely related, not an integral part and nowadays solved differently. But the first car was a tricycle. (Benz Patent-Motorwagen)

But I don’t want to invalidate her achievements either… It’s one (important) contribution to technology. And it’s not always that one single person invents the whole concept of a radio. Or a car. And get’s to be the whole parent of it. Things build upon each other. Sometimes it needs a lot of contributions of several individuals to make something possible… Nowadays more so than in the old times.

Hehehe, you can call her the mother of early 802.11 and Bluetooth.

But that’s not part of 802.11n or 802.11g or “a” or what we call “Wifi”… 802.11 in itself is a pretty long standard, including all kinds of different things.

Wifi doesn’t use frequency hopping. That’s bluetooth.

Craigslist / Facebook Marketplace

I think the author is a bit late to the game. There are like 20 different forks of Mastodon to address exactly that, which some developers have already migrated to. Additionally there are Misskey, Pleroma with their respective forks. Some of them are pretty active.

Also the software needs to be efficient. Use less RAM and CPU cycles. And I don’t think the ActivityPub protocol in itself is very efficient. I’d like those aspects compared to an old federated technology like NNTP or email.

But I’d agree on the things in top. Content should get compressed and cached on demand. Neither transferred every time from the original instance, nor transferred without a user ever viewing it. Caching on demand or a DHT (P2P) storage backend could do that.

There are a few projects that give some idea a new spin. Most of them are about microblogging or alternative platforms for some existing concepts, though.

SXMO?

I think closest to your idea is speech recognition and an AI assistant. You can give it commands that way.

I don’t think there’s much that includes fat fingers and touchscreens and is possible without a graphical UI.

You could buy an old Nokia from the 90s with lots of text menus. That won’t speed things up but it’s certainly less icons, more text and as a bonus you can feel the physical buttons without looking at the phone.

Or a Blackberry with a qwerty-keabord on it. Or use convergence and attach a proper keyboard via USB and install Termux.

Theoretically you could have it project a “holographic” keyboard onto the desk in front of you. Or use VR glasses.

Or hold it sideways and type with 8 fingers simultaneously alike on a stenotype keyboard.

That’d be ways to improve on the keyboard / input method and allow you to use the CLI in it’s current form. I mean the CLI itself is already available. It’s just cumbersome to use it. I’d say a speech assistant is more it, if you want an entirely different concept and not just a better keyboard and/or larger screen.

I’m not sure if I can recommend anything. You probably need to let it go sleep properly. I believe there once used to be seperate settings for the display to turn off, and a seperate time to activate the screen lock. Either I’m confusing Android with something else… Or they removed that setting now that everyone uses a fingerprint reader. Maybe there is an app to control the screen lock. I didn’t find one with a very quick search.

If you put it on standby properly, the processor and other components will enter a low power mode. If you just turn the display black, everything keeps running. And just idling draws more power than the dedicated power-save modes that just wake the processor and important components every now and then to check if something happened.

I don’t think you need to report this. As far as I know HF Chat is providing relatively direct access to the models. It’s more to show the available models and their inference API than a 100% polished product. And some models aren’t that good, or start to repeat or produce garbage under certain conditions. And Nous-Hermes Mixtral isn’t a model that was made by HF anyways.

From being on Lemmy for quite a while, I can say quite some people share that view. We don’t enjoy moderation on the basis of a political agenda.

Ah, thanks. No I didn’t download an additional dictionary. I downloaded the en_uk one now and loaded it by long-pressing on the language. It still doesn’t know half the words. I’ll try restarting the phone.
