@TechConnectify I can't wait to get home and watch this, I'm sure there will be some good spicy takes I agree with like usual. :-)

@TechConnectify Haven't watched the video yet, but have you ever considered uploading your videos to #peertube? I think if anyone has an audience that would carry over pretty well to Peertube it's you. And one of the biggest issues with Peertube at the moment is a lack of high quality content and creators.

@TechConnectify Heck yeah Midwestern frugality!
-
@TechConnectify *looks at the total time* OK, 3× speed it is… :D

@techindepth27 Are there any sustainable, open servers? Most I know shut down due to missing funding or have very strict limits regarding content and/or video length.

@adlerweb @techindepth27 the only “sustainable” peertube instance is (unfortunately?) the one you self host…

@janeq @techindepth27 Yeah. Sadly they need specially encoded files, so hosting it would require double the storage compared to a classic website/RSS. :(

"Disposable Energy"
wow... with two words, the issue is simplified from seemingly complicated to dead simple. we don't need disposable forks, we don't need disposable packaging, we don't need disposable fashion and we don't need disposable energy.
the term also sheds light on why trying to reconstitute the products of combusting petroleum just feels so odd - it's like digging the plastic fork out of the landfill the next time you need one.
not all the way through the video yet but man, that term alone is transformational.

@TechConnectify oh nice just in time, i was looking for something to listen to over dinner

@TechConnectify post-👏credits 👏applause👏

Great story, we need to look forward and embrace the future, not the past...

@TechConnectify Let's gooo, I was just watching your catalytic converter video

@TechConnectify
It must be considered bad behavior to post links without particular description, especially ones pointing to big-tech. -
@TechConnectify@mas.to very spicy ending.

@TechConnectify As others noted on YouTube: that went from solar related to becoming "nuclear". Lovin' it. Best wishes from Europe.
-
@TechConnectify Oh, my favorite YouTuber who sits in the front of my socks with a great video again! (About 50% through and need to make a break for Formula E in a minute.)
Thanks for all you do, this is great!
-
@TechConnectify ah, solar. The amazing technology to save the planet, turned into a grift by business bros.
EDIT: OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE!
This is one of the most important youtube videos I have ever seen. I'm sharing this with everyone I can!
Thank you so much for this video! Thank you!

Great video!
Whereas #biofuel is considered a #renewableenergy, it's mostly true in the longer term, and won't be as helpful with solving the #cllimatecrisis here and now. I want to buy my electricity from solar, wind, and hydro energy only. No nuclear fission or plant burning sources, thanks.

È pure andata bene: Trump non ha fatto battute su Hiroshima e Nagasaki.

Perché l'embargo a Cuba è illegale? Perché è una punizione collettiva.
La punizione collettiva è rigorosamente vietata dal diritto internazionale umanitario, in particolare dalle Convenzioni di Ginevra del 1949. Nessuna persona può essere punita per un'infrazione non commessa personalmente. Il divieto include non solo rappresaglie ma anche assedi ed embarghi che privano la popolazione di beni essenziali (cibo, acqua, medicine).

A Candle-Powered Game Boy For Post-Apocalyptic Tetris
We’re not exactly worried about Armageddon here at Hackaday, but should we end up facing the end of the world as we know it, having something to pass the time would be nice. That’s why we were intrigued by [Janus Cycle]’s latest video where he both plays and powers a Game Boy by candlelight.
You’ve probably figured out the trick already: he’s using a Peltier module as a thermoelectric generator. Candles, after all, release a lot more energy as heat than light, and all that high-quality heat is just begging to be put to use somehow. It’s hardly a new idea; [Janus] references space-age radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) in the video, but back in the day the Soviets had a thermoelectric collar that fit around a kerosene lantern to power their tube radios.
In [Janus]’s case, he’s using a commercial module sandwiched between two heatsinks with the rather-questionable choice of a cardboard box reinforced with wooden skewers to hold it over the candle. Sure, as long as the flame doesn’t touch the cardboard, it should be fine, but you will not be at all surprised to see the contraption catch fire in the video’s intro. For all that, he doesn’t get enough power for the Game Boy — one module gets him only 2 V with tea light, but he has a second module and a second candle.
Doubling the energy more than doubles the fun, since a working Game Boy is way more than twice as fun as an un-powered one. But one candle should be more than enough power, so [Janus] goes back and optimizes his single-Peltier setup with a tall candle and actual thermal grease, and gets the Game Boy going again. Any fire marshals in the audience should look away, though, as he never gives up on keeping a candle in a cardboard box.
The “power something with a Peltier module” project is probably a right of passage for electronics enthusiasts, but most are more likely to play with the irony of candle-powered LEDs, or fans to cool the cold-side heatsink. We did see a phone charger one time, and that didn’t even involve open flames, which seems much safer than this. Remember — no matter how much you want to game after the end of the world, it’s not worth burning down your fallout shelter.

Terzo motivo per cui è illegale l'embargo a Cuba
3. Divieto di punizione collettiva
L’uso dell’embargo per creare carestie, crisi energetiche e limitare l’accesso a beni essenziali configura una forma di punizione collettiva della popolazione civile, vietata dal diritto internazionale umanitario e dai trattati sui diritti economici, sociali e culturali. https://www.studiocataldi.it/articoli/48013-l-embargo-a-cuba-il-collasso-energetico.asp
