  • Well they still have a finite life and are less replaceable than a battery. Even if it quadrupled the lifespan (which is a reasonably generous estimate given OP’s 4-year duration and wikipedia telling me supercapacitors last 10-15 years), it would still eventually need to be replaced and that would generally require resoldering it.

    I think a much better solution is 2 battery slots, one to be a backup battery, unused, and then when needed, an LED on the mobo can be turned on. Honestly OP could jury-rig up a similar system if he wanted to, although it’d be a bit ugly and anytime something is jury-rigged I don’t really think of it as reliable.










  • Right but this is in the context of Bhutan, which has just achieved 100% sterilization.

    Shelters will become very niche there, very quickly. Most of my local shelter’s cats are kittens, given up because a cat wasn’t sterilized. Give it a year, maximum, local shelters will close and it’ll be regional shelters full of the oddballs with medical conditions and the like. While shelters will always have a place for rehoming those animals and dealing with the lost-but-not-found, those lost animals that become strays won’t reproduce, and very shortly the only new cats will be from authorized breeders.

    It’s the role they should have. Not dealing in pedigrees or exotic cats, but just providing the demand for common cats, because shelters won’t be able to meet demand, in Bhutan. Good for them.




  • I used a pi 3 to host a Foundry server (TTRPG software).

    I use Docker to simplify things, since I run two instances of it. Simple port forwarding setup within the docker container. the main reason I used a pi instead of my computer is so my players could access their dnd stuff all the time.

    I stopped because I switched ISPs and they won’t let me port-forward. My vpn supports it but the latency isn’t ideal. I host the same thing through a cheap server now.


  • Yeah I do that. There’s no like, lag difference, the crap I get rid of is apps I don’t use and have forgotten about.

    I don’t install any app until I need it, with this restart. That way any app that gets on my new phone is there for a reason.

    Once in a while I do this to my current phone, too. Works great, I’ve done it like a dozen times.
