His video convinced me to go for it (“it’s just wires”)! I had a double slot left in the panel. I’m now technically above the calculated load for our service, but I scheduled charging for late nights and below the max rating of the charger.

With 2 vehicles to charge and one being a 130kwh truck, I needed a second circuit at the very least.
With how much I drive the truck (not a lot, I work from home, about to hit 3500 miles in 11 months), a 240v 20A is even more than enough. But I installed what the mobile charger you see is rated for (32A max, but the plug says 30A … ?) because I whole-ass anything I do. And now there’s a 14-50R for my dad to plug his camper into if he ever decides to visit his grandson.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•It's Race Week my friends and time to watch everyone's favourite: Lance Stroll!
2·11 days agoPlease keep him. We have enough billionaires and legacy hires as it is.
We have a softener and a “commercial” reverse osmosis unit with a built-in diaphragm pump and a 14 gallon pressure tank. We have been doing yearly changes on the filters. Household of 3 though.
The softener is a puronics brand, the RO unit is Ecosoft RObust 1500.
Not needing to tackle hard water stains and build up every 2 weeks made it worth it, but it was a significant investment (plus we ran RO lines from the garage/tank to the kitchen).
And with the pump set to 60psi, I can have infinite carbonated water without another expensive setup.

Goddamn warhawks.
It has been 7 or 8 years since I touched it, but yes. I extended some intern-built VMware automation to ovirt so we could validate KVM images and reduce VMware costs for internal dev and because that was the platform the manager decided on. We initially only dedicated 6U or 8U to it.
In general, I’d say it worked just fine and the python sdk was approachable. It wouldn’t be my first choice knowing it’s Oracle Virtualization now, but that’s a moral stance instead of technical.
As for maintaining it long term, I can’t really say. I left that team to go play in the clouds with terraform and kubernetes. But I also haven’t heard anything negative from that team since (and I’m still friends with one of the system engineers who is responsible for it). And there was a much needed fundamental rewrite of the bits I original extended that continued with ovirt that went smoothly.
It sounds like you want to create a vm template image.
Some options:
Both virsh and virt-manager have tools for managing libvirt xml files that you can turn into a template to use for launching additional images.
Proxmox and ovirt both have template concepts and APIs you can interact with for automation.
If you’re looking to create a golden image or just automate configuration, virt-clone, ansible, puppet, packer, and even pxe boot are good options depending on the methods you prefer.
There are so many well-established ways to approach this problem domain. Just don’t get decision paralysis. There isn’t a best either.

29·2 months agoHedge fund billionaire John Paulson plans to offshore the East Lake, Ohio, plant of Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments.
“We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” Paulson said just last year.
As another commenter pointed out, the current issue is due to the docker-desktop package being maintained outside the normal channels (AUR) and not getting updated when one of its dependencies moves forward (qemu). CachyOS seems to be letting you install from AUR as part of your normal pacman process and it’s going to lead non-experts into situations like this. I separate my installs from AUR and system packages for this reason (among others).
Your choice is:
- just wait for the person who maintains the docker-desktop package to update it
- remove the docker-desktop package and update normally
- potentially break things by temporarily ignoring the docker-desktop package so you can update normally.
Honestly, I’d personally advocate for tossing docker entirely and migrating to podman which has its own podman-desktop GUI. Since it is maintained by red hat, you’ll always have the latest and greatest without weird issues.
Beyond that, I’d say uninstall this package and install docker without the desktop GUI according to the guide.
⚠️ NOTE: Docker Desktop is not supported, you will run into issues if you use it
That’s from the winboat GitHub page.
Not entirely sure what you’re trying to do though.

20·3 months agoThe answer, they found, is that working muscles effectively outcompete tumors for the glucose supply. Because muscle contraction increases glucose uptake, exercise shifts metabolism, causing tumors to receive less of the fuel they need to grow.
Nailed it. Down to the use of the word “fuel”.
