Congratulations, here's your PhD

Should you claim your pension early or wait? in c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 1 points 2 hours ago

It's from a German university, could be their default translation. In Europe, I think the default adjective for a retired person is pensioner, regardless of whether or not they actually have a pension.

The EV Battery Swapping Movement Is Gaining Momentum in c/electricvehicles@slrpnk.net
[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 3 points 17 hours ago

If energy density were to double, so say the type A battery went from storing 25 kWh to 50 kWh, then that just means that the type A cars can go twice as far. It's still the same form factor. Serial numbers or other identification and tracking could be used to charge the customer appropriately. If you're looking for something specific, the swap app could tell you who has what in stock. As the 25 kWh batteries wear out, they're replaced with 50 kWh batteries.

I'm tempted to get some for my MAGAt in laws, but I don't want to support the camp, and I don't think the in laws would get the point - they're probably in support of the camp.

Family location sharing (beehaw.org)
 

My family has been using the Google Maps location sharing feature for a while. My partner is able to see if I'm running late, I can tell where my sister is when we travel together.

I would like to find a way to continue sharing my location with my family, without sharing it with Google. Are there any apps for this?

Can't seem to boot a linux installer (beehaw.org)
 

I have an older desktop (circa 2010) that I'm trying to repurpose into a small game server and NAS. It doesn't have UEFI. I've tried booting from USB and from DVD. I can get into the BIOS boot menu and select the device to boot from, but after I select it just goes to a blank screen.

I'm using the onboard AMD GPU. This is a fresh hard drive. I've tried the boot media on my laptop and it boots fine. I've put the old Windows 7 SSD back into the desktop and it boots fine. I've tried different images: Fedora Silverblue, Antix x64, Antix 386. Everything is giving the same results.

Can you recommend any other troubleshooting tips?

Antenna Recommendations (beehaw.org)
 

I'm looking for some advice about selecting an antenna. I live in an apartment, so I can't install anything permanent and can't anchor anything to the house. There is a small backyard about 30ftx30ft, some arborvitaes but no strong trees. My radio is on the second floor. There are also two-story houses behind and on either side. I am currently a technician, planning to upgrade to general in the next few months. Right now I'm mostly interested in 10m and 20m, would also like 2m to reach my local repeater. I plan to use SSB and digital modes. Some possible options I've come up with: using a stand like this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/wmo-18320 with a mast to put up an inverted V, but I haven't done the measurements and math to see what the angle would be; my initial instinct is that it's too sharp of an angle to be effective. I also looked at this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxc-expedition or https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/but-hf9v, but I don't have good line-of-sight with all the houses. I could do the mast stand and a mast with something like this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/mkr-11-251.

Jackfruit recipes (beehaw.org)
 

So, I bought several bags of frozen jackfruit thinking I would use the slow cooker to make some BBQ. Then I realized that it's ripe jackfruit, not young jackfruit. What can I do with it that's not a smoothie?

Satellite advice (beehaw.org)
 

I'm going to try building a couple of pvc/measuring tape Yagis, one for 2m and one for 70cm. I have a basic understanding that the satellite (going to try ISS voice first) will be at a certain compass direction and angle above horizon. I think my main question is the beacon. I tune to the beacon signal and start hunting for the satellite, what am I listening for? Any particular Homer advice?
