Been using Zoho for years, cheap and reliable.

Split beam torque wrenches are where it's at, especially for home use where it's going to sit for long periods of time. Split beam is easier to set, and you don't have to leave it at 0 when not in use. I have ruined many traditional clickers because I forgot to set it back to 0 for storage, then it sits like that for months.

They aren't as cheap as a traditional clicker, but they are so much better.

Some satellites and rovers have used Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs), which are very different from a nuclear reactor. They use polonium-210, which generates heat, and that heat is converted to electricity with thermocouples. They are low power and inefficient.

To my knowledge no satellite, with an RTG, has ever used ion propulsion. Few interplanetary satellites have ever even used ion thrusters. Dawn, Hayabusa, and Deep Space 1 are the only I can think of, and they all used solar arrays.

Ion thrusters are super efficient, but produce extremely small amounts of thrust. They aren't practical for getting large spacecraft to Mars. These proposed nuclear engines produce large thrust while have efficiency somewhere between regular chemical propulsion and ion propulsion.

If you have open registration you should reduce the account creation rate.

It runs /e/OS, which is very much a privacy focussed OS.

I don't think most people even know honeybees aren't native to North America. Native bees are the ones at risk, and non-native honeybees aren't helping.

I still think instances should be largely region based, which is why I started one for Colorado. As far as sharing it I'm not really sure either other than spamming it everywhere (which I also don't want to do). Instance discovery kind of sucks, you can't even search on the main join Lemmy page.

Simplest is to just spin up an Ubuntu VM in Azure and install Lemmy using Ansible.

It's a Plex alternative, I don't know about better. IIRC it's a fork of Emby. I try both (Emby and Jellyfin) usually a couple times a year, but there's always something that gives me issue and I just stay with Plex.

Also, seems kind of silly, but the name is just dumb. Neither my wife or I want to audibly say "let's watch something on Jellyfin".

Assuming you don't want to expose these services directly to the internet (I don't recommend it) then you want to set up a VPN to connect back to your home network. Wireguard or OpenVPN are the most commonly used. As far as guides that will depend where/how you want to run it.

Something like Zoho is only $12 a year.

The cheapest CyberPower/APC that is pure sine wave should be just fine.
