  • Not sure how people can handle advertising in media. Having been without it for so long, sitting down to watch something with a family member on an ad-supported plan feels almost traumatic every time the ad roll pops in at a dramatic moment, or even just for the 5-8 minutes they sometimes run. Personally; I’d much rather have the mind space back than have a company pay pennies on the dollar to force something in front of me vs the dollars the delivery provider would change me to remove them. It’s all so scummy 😮‍💨



  • With stuff like this dude, nobody can tell you if the end result will be desirable. You just have to create for the sake of creating what you want to make, and release it into the world. If it doesn’t do well, take the feedback on why and improve, or halt doing it, depending on what you’d prefer.

    You could, the solution requires math though. You need to calculate the size of the battery to be large enough to power your sever (in this case, the phone battery would need to be large enough to power whatever you side load or run within a vm on it) for a significant portion of time which you’d want to base upon the calculation of how much light per day your solar panel is receiving on average, accounting for cloudy days, bad conditions, winter, etc… Essentially what I’m getting to is that where there’s a will, there’s a way, but it likely ain’t going to be easy unless you can already find a YouTube tutorial of someone doing it.





  • Idk where you live, but in the rust belt anything past 15 years old is basically dead due to significant corrison. I wish there were more to be done about it because I love wrenching on old Miatas, but they just continue to salt the roads even months before the first snowflakes (at least, where I live) and it eats vehicles to the point of safety issues and frame breakages over time. (My first car, a 1999 Suzuki esteem, actually had the frame snap while I was driving due to this. Body corrison was minimal, but the frame and undercarriage had completely given out).
