    Question. Is there some kind of device that works as a sort of USB rate limiter? that just throttles the amperage going to a USB device?Problem: I bought a tiny USB-powered ceiling fan, but it runs waaaaay too fast. That's to solve the bigger problem of heating efficiency, which is that in my RV, the ceiling at 6ft will be 80F while the human area is 60F and the floor is 40F.It does solve that but at what cost? The cost of noise, cool breezes, and a jittery threatening aura, that's what. We're not talking entire BTUs of air needing moved here. There are walk-in closets bigger than my house. I expected a gentle waft setting just to keep things slightly circulating. It has 3 setting: Pretty Fast, Freaking Fast, and Freaking Fuck Faster.I would settle for "Half Fast Nine." The thing advertises itself at 5W and I would like it to run like it really is 5W tyvm.I'm not about to open'er up and solder in a bunch of resistors. The only thing I was truly good at in electronics school was catching breadboards on fire. (This is a true story. Yes, I was trying to burn things. They let me graduate.)Is there some kind of USB dongle I can attach in the middle that will just say, "Nope, slower'er down a wee but, yae canae* have that much power"?* Sorry, I've been watching Limmy stream Disco Elysium and his accent is stook in me 'ed. Pretend I'm from Star Trek.#RightToRepair #AskFedi #RVLife

    There is, but I am not sold on giving up entirely on the idea simply because disparate communities might not want to talk to another. I agree that treading lightly is paramount, but the benefits of cross-community interaction could very much be worth it! One thing is for sure: making this an opt-out is not the way forward.

    @julian @js @trwnh I think it's also important to note that having HTML Web pages, JSON API endpoints and rich media all on different domains is a pretty common mid-sized Web app deployment these days.

    @pfefferle @_elena I guess so. (okay, maybe a bit obvious 🙈)
