Yep, I was running one of these for the longest time.. until they blocked idle instances! Hah.. thats the kind of usage free gets you, lot of people hoarding it for... nothing. I mean, I could easily have thought of stuff to load the instance up slightly but, eeh.

You can also add an extra 50gb of space to pay like $5/month, that way you are paying and it is still an insanely better deal than any of the other cloud providers

In my humble opinion as an amateur genealogist, after a year or so with paid services (Ancestry, Myheritage) I find there is really no good reason not to use a combination of Wikitree and Familysearch, both free, if we ignore DNA tests.

Especially familysearch allows private profiles, no need to share. Wikitree has a policy of "do not add living people", but it is possible to do and Ive done it for close family.

Yes, this means sharing fairly freely, but I do not see a reason not to. Unless you want a fantasy tree, sharing your tree will make it higher quality. We all make mistakes here and there.

Wikitree especially requires you add sources to your work, which might feel odd for a personal tree of course.

Im trying, really trying to understand what BIGFAM is about. Is it related to gut biome, and what the bacteria eats, and trying to find the genes for that? Or am I completely lost.

Its part of the filename (short for Big Family) that we use to transfer the data via GEDCOM from The Master Genealogist (TMG) to Geneweb.

MtGox also sold 60,000 BTC.

Sweden is awful here, neither my home connection nor my phone uses ipv6.

We were once very early with internet stuff, but now we lagging it seems.

This is funny as a european, since we have many, many groups where we reguarly will run 2kW, and some, loads. Really no issue, but I guess lower voltage makes it a problem.

Yup. We typically have 20 amp breakers in living portions of the house and it's common practice for most devices to top out at 1500 watts. But from your description, you would still need three lines and three breakers. So. I'm not understanding your point.

Most outlets rely on 120v 15amp breakers here in the US, only washer/dryer/kitchenware require the higher end 240v breakers

The article addresses this by giving past examples of what “simplified enough” usually means. They’re much simpler.

V2G is actually a much easier scenario for a battery than driving down the high way, so not impossible at all!

Yeah, that was my point. The battery capacity drops as a percentage over time. Currently, you can get a $60K MSRP, 33kwh-rated used car for ~$10-15K, with over 90% of the original capacity left.

30kwh of tesla powerwalls is at least $23K. Sadly, those used cars don’t support v2h or v2g.

Well our kettle is 2.4kW, our microwave is 800W or so effectively. Also our induction stovetop is much faster, so the nuking option is slowest by a lot.

Wait, a _standard plastic bag_ for compost?

Why not, you know, paper?

Because paper leaks?

And this type of plastic does not. After some months it will, but that is the idea.
