In a pinch, I once ran my trailer's lights, furnace blower, and water pump -- sparingly -- through a cold winter night, on that first 1500VA unit. It had no trouble turning that water pump to full pressure even halfway through discharge. Really respectable performance.

FWIW my experience with CyberPower UPSes has been excellent; the first PFCLCD1500 I bought went ten years before it blew an IC. Customers are thrilled with them. APC is a speck in the rear view mirror but a Tripp-Lite double conversion unit is likely my next upgrade. Remember ... all line-interactive power supplies have limitations, and a little $40 750VA battery box is no less prone to defects than any other.

Apropos of nothing, you should know that Godot Engine is amazing and will make you seriously question why to keep using proprietary game engines.

I feel like I've completely lost control of my life when I am reminded that I haven't backed up the camera roll on my phone in over a year because I no longer use a Mac and it is *that* impossible to do on Windows for some reason.

(I'm usually critical of reductively identifying individual responsibility with that of a nation and state, and I might not use "we" that way most of the time, but this message is intended to agitate Americans. Thanks for understanding)

Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the CIA-led coup that killed the democratically-elected Chilean President Salvador Allende. An accomplished medical doctor and democratic socialist, Salvador dared to match the people's fervor in challenging the American capital interests expropriating the value of their home land.

So we killed him -- and it's taken this long for the people of Chile to finally overturn the constitution of the murderous fascist dictatorship that followed.

Sorry to disappear for so long.

And let me tell you, folks, reading a list of symptoms for endocrine problems might bore you to death, but the reality of these conditions affect absolutely every part of your body and your life; their descriptions sound vague because they're extremely difficult to even identify, never mind to treat. Respect your endocrine system -- its balance is delicate beyond words and we still barely even understand it yet.

I've been grateful that New Jersey doesn't fluoridate its water because I have a history of endocrine problems and systemic fluoride stresses the thyroid. Moving to a state that fluoridates will mean I need to either drink exclusively bottled water or buy an expensive filtration system -- unless I want to risk going back into hypothyroidism after years healed from it.

It occurs to me this may be from moving them by holding the case by the side instead of the bottom, which is a thing I totally do. Whoops. Not that it should be so flimsy.

iMac G5s of both sizes (shown) develop these cracks just sitting there on the shelf, with little UV exposure and only mild temperature fluctuation. Same with clamshell iBooks. These were the two that survived a shelving collapse years ago with no such injury!

Apologies; something broke the authentication plugin for PeerTube and it's fixed now. It's about time I got to the bottom of what is failing to preserve certain settings (like livestreaming and transcoding config) across reboots and other interruptions, because this may be related. Anyone deeply experienced with PeerTube configuration is invited to reach out -- it will take some for me to get around to this otherwise.
