  • And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!

    • 10^-5 J on the surface, when 5 J is needed for a burn
    • Surface of the sun is a few thousand degrees, inside is a few million

    So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.

    Not even remotely! I didn’t look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.

    Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you’d only have femtoseconds!

    A real double whammy of unintuitive results.


  • I dipped my toes in the self-hosted route and would recommend Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid as a much simpler alternative.

    Here’s a guide I used - you can probably have it up and running in less than an hour.

    Major points:

    • Easy setup, easy to use
    • Low cost at <$35/year
    • Can not share accounts (specifically, RD limits to one ongoing stream at a time)
    • Limited customization

    I have very limited self hosting experience, and between getting my first hello world service running, problems with my ISP, sorting through the different ways to get content, and not already having TBs if hard drives sitting around, I found it to be pretty challenging.

    If you’re already experienced in self hosting (or want to learn) and don’t mind the storage costs, then I’d recommend the Plex/Jellyfin route, but if you just want an alternative to the existing streaming services then I’d suggest looking into Stremio.






  • Better to do nothing, so we can continue living in a world where minorities aren’t armed, and where racism and oppression don’t happen, right?

    America has a mass shooting problem. Gun control sure seems to be an effective way to stop children from being killed in schools, and caring about children being safe doesn’t mean I don’t care about PoC.

    The whole point was that A) minorities should arm themselves, which you clearly agree with and B) that IF conservatives are scared of an armed minority population and create gun control laws (which we’re all acknowledging would be intended to harm minorities), there would still be a positive effect in that children would be safer.
