  • Heat pumps (which are basically just air conditioners running in reverse) do “create” energy.

    By that I mean that they provide much more heating energy than the electricity they consume, because what they do is move heat that’s already there outside (but diffuse) and concentrate it in your house.

    Air conditioners cannot create energy (that is literally impossible) but they do move energy out of your home. So some models are now able to move that energy underground in the summer, where the heat doesn’t dissipate much at all, then re-use it in the winter as a heat pump to heat your home, making them both more eco-friendly and cheaper to run !

    Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don’t think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.

    I don’t want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !






  • I have had no issues with sleep on macOS, so whatever they are doing we should try to copy !

    The same MacBook air, that used to last over a week with the lid closed on macOS, now needs to be charged every 3 days on Asahi NixOS.

    Linux is a much better operating system, even just for the sheer variety of software available, but power management isn’t quite there yet in my experience on this laptop.








  • NixOS.

    • I have access to more packages than with any other package manager.
    • everything to get my setup in the exact state I want is in my config, which is 90% useable on any other distro thanks to home manager
    • My [config](HTTPS ://www.codeberg.org/termaxima/liquorice) is all in one place and easy to share
    • If I ever break something, I can always roll back
    • I don’t need Docker
