If it's weight is anything like water, 550 gallons would weigh near 2.5 tons

It's worked pretty well ok for me, but I only really sim race so it's all stationary and no controllers.

Highly recommend setting up Envision so it can build and setup the Monado/XR environment

I'm not much for watches and stuff. I have my phone, it does what I need and then some. But that is one nice looking watch.

Simple but elegant.

Seems like you're right! Thanks

I tried to get it setup and running and was able to get it's test functions to work sort of, but could never data from AMS2 to monocoque. Hopefully the project grows, an easy to use native option would be very nice.

In the end I was able to setup SimHub to run easily enough. Ended up installing dotnet48 with winetricks and SimHub into my AMS2 prefix, and with SteamTinkerLaunch, I have it run and inject SimHubWPF.exe. In order for things to work right I had to use Proton 9 and SimHub 9.4.1, newer versions ran but nothing would output to my bass shaker. Here's a nice guide someone put up https://lemmy.world/post/18288064

Caddy has been the easiest reverse proxy I've setup over the years.

Not sure I agree with high AF, but definitely sounds like he's lying or making up bullshit all the time

Throwing in my own data, I have a small server rack at home that runs a brocade icx4630 switch and dell r720, idles around 250w. My desktop setup, monitors, amp, computer itself etc idles around 200w.

My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can't even hear it if you're in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.

...piece of shit

I remember looking into solar some 20 years ago. 5kWh battery bank was practically unheard of and iirc correctly was roughly $1k per kWh. Hopefully somebody with the time can come and correct numbers. Today you can find 5kWh battery banks for ~$2k.

Inverters I remember being about $5k-$10k for house sized and capable of running AC unit. Today roughly $1k-$2k.

Solar panels themselves I've not priced, but iirc I remember large arrays being $20k-$30k or more.

The cost to DIY a whole home off grid solar and battery bank system has gotten beyond easier, safer and an absolute fuck ton cheaper

Make your stranded end nice and long and easy to "comb" and flatten out. Get all your pairs lined up and in order and flatten the wires together on a table or other work surface.

I usually cut about 3 or so inches of sleeve off the cable to expose the strands. But same thing applies if you can only cut an inch off, just a little more difficult.

Assuming you have passthrough rj45 ends or whatever they're called, you can just slip on your end and crimp and let the tool trim the excess wire.

If you don't you get to go through the process of trimming down and getting the tiny stubs to stay together enough to slide into the connector.
