  • If I discharge it now and again while using it as a UPS, I don’t think it would make that much of a difference. It would on average be full which is still stressful on the LifePO4 cells.

    Keeping my computer powered with my power station is doable, and would protect my data from corruption, but the battery drains fast powering my PC, and if the power goes out while I am away or sleeping it’ll be depleted within a few hours. It also adds friction when I wanna use it for something else because I gotta power off my computer first.

    For the size of the power station I’ve got, I think it is best used for DC powered devices, or small AC devices. I mainly use it for bedside power. I plug my personal devices into it, and they all charge at maximum speed. I cycle it and charge it when it needs it. This way it can be moved and used for anything without friction, and isn’t full 24/7.

    The solar panel I have eases the idea of me forgetting to charge it and the lights going out after. The sun is an option in case that ever happens.







  • I genuinely didn’t back then. I saw it as a waste of time. I only saw it as bitching on twitter, you could argue with rational arguments all you want, but you’d never change anyones mind. Odds are you are reasoning with a bot or a troll. I made the incorrect assumption that if a president ever strayed too far, he’d be stopped.

    Politics is an endless fire that fuels itself and burns forever, if I can stay away from it I will, but in the times of today, that’s not really an option anymore.





  • This is my first PeerTube experience, the site is slow when browsing content, but it works. Peertube.wtf is federated with over 1,531 other platforms, so content is coming from a wide range of places.

    The quota given is quite generous, You get a daily upload limit of 10GB and a total limit of 100GB. For someone’s computer space, that’s quite generous.

    One thing I don’t like is that the subscriptions feed takes like 30 seconds to load before telling me I have no subscriptions.
