If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?
According to this highly scientific poll, this matter has been settled.

@bloor Ah Smutpee, the backbone of email!

personally, i've always pronounced SQL as "squeal", since that's usually my reaction when i have to deal with it.
DNS could be "dins". with small TTLs, it's really really noisy.

Dns the Menace@silvermoon82@wandering.shop …and gnshr!
for the record, i'm not from the UK. i just associate "dennis the menace" with the UK one because the 2009 cartoon used to air on the hub network (now discovery family) in the US when it launched. also the american dennis would've been waaaay before my time lol -
@bloor While we are at it, let's also get to the bottom of gif vs jif as well??!!
@unsungnovelty @bloor Don't know about that but the image file format of the Joint Photographic Experts Group is properly pronounced Jay Feg

@bloor ...and TCP is "teacup"? 😀

@bloor mDNS is "madness."
@mansr @bloor true. #Apple and #Microsoft ensures this, BTW

I usually pronounce it squeal
@johntimaeus @robinadams @bloor I like

Of course. we should all use the D.E.N.N.I.S. system.

@bloor "Denice", surely?
@greem yeah that's the best thing I've read all day. Calling it Denice for ever now.
-
@bloor I prefer "squeal" and "dunce."

@bloor I cannot read SQL as anything but "squirrel"
PostgreSQL is "post grey squirrel"
@robinadams @bloor I started out calling it "My Squirrel" before I'd ever heard anyone say "sequel," and that is how it will forever be in my head.
"I have to run a squirrel query."
"I'm having trouble running a join on these squirrel tables."
It's objectively better this way.

@robinadams @bloor post-grey squirrel (they're very subtly tinted with color)

@bloor or Donna's, dengue, denudes...

@bloor Great point, but no.

@robinadams @bloor "★☆☆☆☆ instead of nuts, package contained squirrel!"

L’espansione territoriale di Israele dall’ottobre 2023
@anarchia
Quali sono i confini di Israele? Questi sono in continua evoluzione – e si respingono – dal 1949, in ogni guerra contro i suoi vicini. Troppo spesso presentate come operazioni di “difesa”, le offensive che Tel Aviv conduce sui https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/lespansione-territoriale-di-israele-dallottobre-2023/

Studying a Battle Born LFP Battery’s Death Under Controlled Conditions

There has been quite a bit of news recently about the Battle Born LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries and how they are dying in droves if not outright melting their plastic enclosures. Although the subsequent autopsies show molten plastic spacers on the bus bars and discolored metal in addition to very loose wiring, it can be educational to see exactly what is happening during repeated charge-discharge cycles at a fraction of the battery’s rated current. Thus [Will Prowse] recently sacrificed another Battle Born 75 Ah LFP battery to the Engineering QA Gods.This time around the battery was hooked up to test equipment to fully graph out the charging and discharging voltage and current as it was put through its paces. To keep the battery as happy as possible it was charged and discharged at a mere 49A, well below its rated 100A.
Despite this, even after a mere 14 cycles the battery’s BMS would repeatedly disconnect the battery, as recorded by the instruments. Clearly something wasn’t happy inside the battery at this point, but the decision was made to push it a little bit harder while still staying well below the rated current.
This led to the observed failure mode where the BMS disconnects the battery so frequently that practically no current is flowing any more. Incidentally this is why you need to properly load test a battery to see whether it’s still good. In this failure mode there is still voltage on the terminals, but trying to pass any level of current leads to the rapid disconnecting by the BMS, even while as in this case the plastic spacer on the bus bar melts a little bit more.
Despite these very rapid disconnects and observed thermal issues, the BMS never puts the battery into any kind of safe mode as other LFP batteries do, leading to the melting plastic and other issues that have now been repeatedly observed. The discoloration of the battery terminals that originally started the investigation thus appears to be a result of higher charge currents and correspondingly higher temperatures.
Worryingly, Battle Born recently put out a statement – addressed in the video – in which they completely disavow these findings and insist that there is no issue at all with these LFP batteries. Naturally, if you still have any Battle Born LFP installed, you really want to test them properly, or ideally replace them with a less sketchy alternative until some kind of recall is issued.

@evan sounds like you’re developing a Napoleon complex

I'm surprised they do not want my soul and my newborn.

@jon_bon same here. If I can't do that, then there's really no point in not buying an iPhone. I wonder if Samsung and other Android phone makers have been asked about how this will impact their sales?
