Why not set up backups for the Proxmox VM and be done with it?

Also makes it easy to add offsite backups via the Proxmox Backup Server in the future.

Not an expert but these systems are fairly self-contained and robust. A few things that can be checked easily is that the fan spins, the radiator is free of debris and some compressors might have a sight glass for the oil level.

Any other checks regarding performance of the system, leaks and refrigerant level require you to perform a full refrigerant discharge and recharge. That takes special equipment and some time so no one in their right mind would do that for free, unless they can then force/guide you into some kind of upsell situation.

Larger systems might have some kind of oil filter/catch-can that you might be able to check easily but I’m not too sure on that.

After all heat pumps are just plain old A/C units with a reversible cycle.

I could only find the Model 3 in their statistic.

• Year of registration: Breakdowns per 1000 vehicles
• 2021: 1.0
• 2020: 1.3
• 2019: 4.0

The best value for 2021 is 0.8 by the Audi A4 and A5, whilst the worst is the Toyota RAV4 with 17.6.

Overall they rank the Model 3 with “very low” and “low” rate of failure.

Granted these cars are still pretty young so who knows what that figure will look like in 5 or 10 years.

For context they seem to be specifically referencing the 12V “starter” battery not the HV battery used for the traction drive in EVs with that 44.1% figure. Additionally this figure seems to include all vehicles in the statistic, so some part of that is contributed by ICE vehicles.

Out of curiosity I’ve let it rate Low<-Tech Magazine, a website run on an ARM SBC powered exclusively with off-grid solar power, and that only achieves 87% / A.

Can’t exactly remember which car it was but some of the early and smaller EVs didn’t necessarily come with a navigation system. Think along the lines of Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf.

Not OSM or Open Source but “A Better Route Planner” (ABRP) was one of the first good EV routing apps and got pretty popular.

Especially early on it was often smarter than the built-in routing systems if the car even had one.

Upvote for lowtechmagazine. Running your whole website off-grid, only from solar power is such a cool concept.

It is, kind of. The plug is secured by 6 stops (or tabs) along each side. The positive pressure differential pushes the plug outwards into those stops.

To remove the plug you uninstall 4 bolts which allow the plug to go up and over the stops, after which it can hinge outwards on a hinge found at the bottom of the plug.

You can use their online web-editor (similar to OverLeaf for LaTeX) or download the open-source engine and run it locally (there are extensions available for many text editors).

Compared to LaTeX I find it much more comfortable to work with. It comes with sane, modern defaults and doesn’t need any plugins just to generate a (localized) bibliography or include links.

Since Typst is very young compared to LaTeX I’m sure that there are numerous docs / workflows that can’t be reproduced at the moment but if you don’t need some special feature I’d recommend giving it a shot.

The development of Piper is being driven by the Home Assistant Project. That probably makes it one of the larger OSS TTS projects. Hope may not be lost yet ;)

Seeing these little IT gems all over Lemmy always makes me smirk :)

Apart from the visibility argument. With this kind of parking spot you have to leave the spot in the other direction than you came in. So you’ll only get the enhanced agility for one of the moves.

Would you rather have more agility when getting into the tight parking spot or when leaving onto a larger street?

As in video wallpapers? Sure. KDE Plasma for one lets you install a bunch of wallpaper plugins ranging from video playback to live computed shaders and everything in between.

Cool to see support for the QOI format in a popular software package.

The “add to home screen” button turns into an “install” button when Firefox detects that the website is a progressive web app (PWA). Other browsers do the same.

The difference is that a PWA can define a custom icon and name for the “app” button on your home screen and that it can use some clever caching making many PWAs offline capable (meaning you don’t need an internet connection to open the web page).

I understand the reluctance to press “install” but in the case of PWAs the install size is tiny and fully contained in Firefox and you get the added benefit of faster startup / loading times due to caching.
