  • This very much depends on the car.

    Most modern computer controlled cars will not discharge the battery at idle unless you have a powerful sound system or an alternator that’s already on its way out. And they can adjust idle anyway if needed, most will increase idle when AC is turned on now to compensate the increased load on the engine. Driving the AC compressor is such a light load compared to the moving a 2 ton vehicle.

    Also, many newer cars may even run an electric compressor instead of one driven off the motor. Think hybrid vehicles, it wouldn’t be feasible to have an AC system that turns off half the time if it’s running on the electric motors.

    What you might deal with is heat soak if the fans can’t move enough air over the condenser core. But modern vehicles are immensely more efficient than even 10 year old vehicles.


  • Haha. Thanks. I really didn’t want to pay Netflix or any other streaming service. But it might have been cheaper than hdds and electricity.

    This is something I’ve been building for over 10 years at this point. I’ve gone through so many iterations of servers and storage architecture. I’ve lost my entire TV and movie library multiple times. (I don’t back it up because a. It’s expensive at this scale and b. this data is easy to rebuild over time.)

    It’s been a part of learning about hosting and data management that I’ve brought to/from my work.




  • I used to gate camp a lot. If anyone was new and wanted to join, I’d let them. If they were new and does in the gate camp I’d usually send them enough isk to replace what they lost and then some.

    When I would scam/lofty people, we never killed the noobs. Do that and you won’t have anyone to scam when they are rich enough for it to be worth it. And by then they have enough it’s not as big of a blow to them.












  • Very true. But considering the metadata provider can manage the variations, I don’t think it’s too onerous of a consideration for the actual media management side.

    I’d love a better movie manager that puts weight on extras and handles them much better. And editions, too. Directors cut, cinema cut, TV broadcast cuts. There really needs to be a better way to handle all that than a single movie file.

    Though for radarr and sonarr, some of those are restrictions for the player they are accommodating. If Plex and Jellyfin don’t handle the ability to choose versions, why have the *arrs do it.

    But I also understand that it’s not something the majority of users care about. So it makes it not worth their time. And as for readarr and lidarr, I don’t know if it’s just a limitation of the fork using the existing *arr framework.
