213kWh feels like quite a lot of juice. Admittedly, I usually don't go at planing speeds.

I have an 80Ah lead-acid battery to power the electric trolling motor on my inflatable dinghy. That's 80A*12V = 0.96kWh. That gives me 5-10Nm range depending on speed. My dinghy would sink with 213kWh on board.

My 7 tonne sailboat uses ~2l/h of diesel at twice the speed. 213kWh of lead-acid would double the weight.

MeeGo, then Maemo. It lives on in the successor SailfishOS.

I trained an ANN back in 2012 to trade bitcoin for me on mtgox. It performed quite a bit better than just HODLing until mtgox happened.

Now I live in a van down by the river.

From version 7.5 through version 7.6 onwards distribution of MaxDB (previously SAP DB) to the open source community was provided by MySQL AB, the same company that develops the open-source software database, MySQL. Development was done by SAP AG, MySQL AB and the open-source software community.

Wait, did I get his kids in the wrong order?

He does!

Say hello to MaxDB!

Their main product is telemetry and selling your watch history to advertisers.

That's why Plex doesn't work without an active internet connection.

What filesystem do you have on that SD-card? Likely FAT32, which does not support ownership.

The Android client seems to have dropped a few player engines in a recent update. Previously there was an option to use libvlc, omxplayer or a third option that I can't recall. Seems the developer opted to go with the worst option.

The AndroidTV app can use external players such ss VLC. I went with kodi as a client instead.

One of the local secondary schools had a mailserver. No one knew or took security seriously in the mid-to-late nineties. As a result, it also hosted an ftp-server with widely shared credentials that held some 20GB worth of mp3s when it was shut down after three years in service. It was one of the biggest in the country at the time.

Irc and DCC-transfers were huge, too. As CD-writers became common place, a lot of it took place over snail mail or sneakernet. A guy at school had printed lists of all his tunes and took orders to burn them to music CDs.

I think the limited selection and limited transfers/storage made you cherish things more. Today you'll never finish your library in your lifetime.

Yes, and now they're looking for a real terminal

[-] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

People keep recommending terminal emulators, but I think they're missing your point.

I'm not aware of anyone making new terminals these days. In my opinion DIGITAL is still king. They are getting a bit hard to come by. VT220 used to be the gold standard, but a VT420 or VT520 is still worth it if you can find one.

Looks like there are a few VT420s on eBay going for up to $200. Prices aren't what they used to be.

A youth wasted playing MUDs, I guess. I was pretty fast before that, but I probably doubled my pace in a few years.
