Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a good way to move away from Google Photos (and Google cloud) when you have a lot of photos/videos?English
3·6 days agoDon’t use nextcloud, even as a professional IT admin / software engoneer it was clunky and complicated to setup and maintain.
It’s also slow.
Immich hosting options or OpenCloud are a better bet.

3·13 days agoYou raise a good point!
I plan to use EcoFlow powerbanks in self power mode to have them be a a UPS that is supplemented bt the sun, which lets me get by the “no power into wall” limitations.

4·14 days agoThanks for bringing up flexible connectors! I didn’t consider that before.
Would blinds be better for not needing more flexible connectors, or worse?

1·14 days agoWe don’t (yet) have flexible panels that would survive the abuse that curtains experience.
Vertical surfaces are not nearly as effective for the majority of cases in capturing solar radiation.
But blinds then would be perfectly fine no? They can adjust their angle and aren’t flexible.
Windows have lots of obstructions that reduce the effectiveness of a solar panel.
A 10% loss is not bad, even 30% isn’t too bad, because every cent counts.
Putting solar panels behind an extra layer of glass that would need to be kept pristine would be counter productive.
You don’t clean your windows yearly?
The voltages involved in solar panels would create an added source of danger inside the house.
Home/Commercial battery systems like EcoFlow don’t seem dangerous at all to me. I feel like the danger you’re describing is minimal with the wattages you’d get from window panels.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?English
10·18 days agoI worked 64 hours a week to pay for my College Tuition.
That is plus 18 hours of classes, and 18 hours of studies a week.
This was for the cheapest college near me at a rate of $4000 a semester.
I love being slaved to the point my grades were low only because of my work. When I saved enough / got scholarships, I was able to stop working, and my grades became a 4.
So in summary, slaving to afford a chance to have a low grade compared to those with wealth who can get to focus all their time to college.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•[App] I made a Circle to Search alternative that works on any Android (with multiple search engines)English
3·24 days agoI wish there was a way to disable search engines. Even better to be able to custom define them.
Would also be nice to disable to fallback behavior of using catbox, or at least the ability to use a custom storage pool.

61·1 month agoI find your comment mean spirited, and I find it distasteful how you refer to others.
Do you refer to everyone you don’t know in such manner?
Do you have no empathy towards strangers?
What would your loved ones think of you for that?
