¿Desea contribuir con los costos de Mastodon.CR y otros proyectos del Fediverso costarricense?
Hágalo en impulsait.com/producto/patroci…
He creado esa página con una explicación de cómo funciona la gobernanza y operación de #MastodonCR, los costos aproximados mensuales con un desglose de servidores y enlaces de pago, cuentas bancarias, SINPE móvil, etc.
Operar una red social no es gratis. Hacerlo respetando los derechos de las personas usuarias sin publicidad tiene costos económicos y de esfuerzo humano importantes. Por más de 2 años los costos ha sido cubiertos por mí y mi empresa @impulsait como un compromiso de aportar positivamente a la sociedad, mi plan es seguir ofreciendo el patrocinio humano, tecnológico, legal, financiero y fiscal por muy largo plazo, de forma transparente y con respeto a la privacidad y seguridad de las personas usuarias.
¿Qué cambia ahora? Que las personas usuarias podrán tener la oportunidad de participar económicamente del proyecto y compartir un pedacito de la carga financiera si está dentro de sus posibilidades.
Dicen que lo perfecto es enemigo de lo bueno. El uso de mi empresa es la mejor forma he logrado dilucidar para operar esta comunidad. He leído muchísimas experiencias de comunidades del Fediverso que terminan cerrando por dificultades económicas y desgaste humano, eso no nos puede pasar a nosotros. Estoy abierto a construir junto con la comunidad mecanismos para que construyamos un espacio seguro, colaborativo y sostenible en el largo plazo.
Tengo mucho orgullo de lo que hemos logrado hasta ahora y me da ilusión lo que está por venir.
Vamos un paso a la vez en este camino imperfecto pero que lo construimos juntos.

"The Electronic Intifada’s executive director Ali Abunimah was arrested by Swiss police ahead of a speaking event in Zurich on Saturday afternoon.
He is currently being detained and has had access to legal counsel.
The arrest came one day after Abunimah arrived in Zurich for a speaking tour."

An article in right-wing paper NZZ, framing Abunimah as a Israel-hater, seems to have been instrumental in this absurdity.

I do not know nearly enough about the situation to say either way, but while this sounds unsavory, I often think back about how different things might be in the US, had we actually allowed Sherman to "clean out" the South as it were, after the US Civil War.
It's nasty business, but perhaps necessary for the long term stability of a country emerging from a long, bloody, civil war.
Again, not clear to me that this is the case here, just playing devil's advocate for the people who are coming out against this as a knee jerk reaction to political violence... That maybe these things need to be done sometimes, when failing to do so will result in far more bloodshed.

Prius Prime 2024 Followup: More Tests
/c/technology was the most active by far (more so than /c/cars), so I'll post here again first.
Stats
The following stats are winter tests (10F to 30F. Or -10C to 0C).
- L1 Charger from Home is 2.05 mi/kwhr (12.0 mi/electric-$$. 17.1c per kwhr home costs) in this deep cold.
- L2 Charger from Work is 2.8mi/kwhr (14.0 mi/electric-$$. 20c per kwhr work-charging costs).
- 43 Miles per Gallon gasoline (13.9 mi/gasoline-$. $3.10 gasoline during test).
- L1 Charger is closer to 2.8 mi/kwhr during 60F (15C+ temperatures).
- L2 Charger is closer to 3.5 mi/kwhr during 60F (15C+ temperatures).
Conclusion: The cold (10F to 30F) has made the Li-ion batteries of this car SIGNIFICANTLY less efficient. We're at the point where L1 chargers are more expensive than gasoline, while L2 chargers are roughly on part with gasoline.
I recommend anyone who gets an EV to get an L2 charger. Not only for the convenience of far faster charges, but also because of the incredible improvements to cold-weather charging efficiency.
There were some pro-EV fans asking me to more carefully test the gasoline usage in the winter. And now you have the stats. I can solidly say that gasoline is worse during the Winter (down from EPA estimated 48), but not dramatically worse like the electric engine gets.
The above gasoline test was done over an entire week of driving to reach the 200+ miles I thought was needed for a solid test. I performed it by running out of electricity (all the way down to 0%), then driving to a gasoline station and filling up. I memorized the exact pump I filled up at.
Then, after 200 miles across a week, I came back to the same pump and filled up exactly the same. I then counted the gallons that came out of the pump and divided out based on my trip odometer. I was 203.5 miles of driving total with 4.734 gallons reported from the pump.
I own a Prius (not a PHEV though, just a hybrid) and can corroborate that my mileage goes down significantly in the winter months. It is a combination of a couple factors in my experience.
- Needing to run the engine more to heat things up for defrosting and heating the cabin.
- Related to the above, I tend to idle a lot more in the winter while cleaning ice/snow off the car, letting it warm up, or clearing the driveway.
- Switching to winter tires (Blizzaks) negatively impacts rolling resistance compared to the LRR tires (Ecopias) I use the rest of the year.
I tend to average ~45 mpg in the summer and ~37 mpg in the winter over the past two years.
The Prius PHEV manual states that there is a battery conditioner: both battery-cooling when its hot and and battery-heating when its cold.
I assume that a significant amount of the electric charge from L1 charger is going towards battery-heating. Ex: I have a 1000W L1 charger (measured from the wall). If 100W is going to heating, then that's a 10% loss before other voltage-conversion losses. (The Prius is a 400V battery, so 110V to 400V will incur additional losses).
The L2 charger likely has 100W of heating in these cold nights as well, but at 3,300W charging, that's only a 3% loss. Far more efficient. Furthermore, 220V is closer to 400V, so there will be less voltage-conversion losses associated with L2 charging.
A lot of reasons to favor L2 charger installation. So that's going to be my recommendation to anyone doing Electric.

- "Uncached buffered IO" […] permits userspace to address issues with massive buildup of useless pagecache when reading/writing fast devices.
- "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" […] A speedup of 400% was demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel build time with swap-on-zram.
