Deer are a point of division in the hunting community.
I don't know the rules for all the states, but I can highlight the different approaches different places have with just 2 examples.

In Victoria, they only want to hunt deer "sustainably", so they have recognised "Deer Habitats".
It's also illegal to hunt them at night with a spotlight (the easiest method, they'll literally stand still and look at the light) or use a thermal scope (which of course helps silhouette a naturally camouflaged animal), even during the day.

In South Australia, we have shoot on sight laws - as in you're legally obliged to attempt to humanely kill feral deer when possible.

Kind of says it all, doesn't it?

This is basically a botspam talking point.
It doesn't matter.
If you've got bad cables, you should do the same thing you would do with a bad iPhone cable or any other cable that no longer serves its purpose - recycle it.
Now buy another cable that's actually good, if you don't know which one that should be, maybe find out which ones your phone provider sells.
This is a self correcting issue over time.

The coalition has multiple aims here.

  1. This is a political differentiator - they become the "Nuclear" party.
  2. Nuclear technologies create a wonderful wedge to split any green support along the "reduce carbon" and "anti radioactive" line.
  3. In a best case, if they started tomorrow, there would be AT LEAST a decade (more like 15 years) before the first Nuclear electricity got onto the grid, and in the meantime their fossil fuel backers get to BURN-BABY-BURN.

And that's before we get into all the other little thing, that are really just colouring around the edges, ie spending taxpayer money to build a new monopoly which the government can later privatise to their sponsors.

One of the things that I haven't seen any of the recent articles highlighting is how no investment body is willing to back the construction of nuclear power in Australia, so the government will have to 100% bankroll it with our taxes.
Meanwhile, private equity are lining up to invest in wind, solar, batteries etc - just angling for subsidies because "why not?".
This ALONE should be indicative of most likely outcomes.

[–] Mountaineer@aussie.zone 12 points 6 months ago (7 children)

A key part of the coalition nuclear plan is to block the further construction of solar and wind.
There is currently twice as much approved (but yet to be constructed) capacity as the coalition intends to allow in the next 15 years.

I think you're right, hydrogen is ludicrous, and bang for buck, some other tech will win out for time shifting the power, probably pumped hydro.

edit to add: Hydrogen is ludicrous in the primary context of a battery. There's other potential uses such as making steel, making ammonia/fertilizer etc that could change the equation again. Hell, you might even find it desirable to make it HERE and transport it THERE as a battery, but again, the maths are currently wrong.

[–] Mountaineer@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's definitely not worth using full price electricity to split hydrogen out of water, if your intention is to turn that hydrogen back into electricity through some method (fuel cell, internal combustion engine, steam turbine, whatever).

But if the electricity was otherwise going to be discarded (as is currently the case practically daily in SA), that cost/benefit gets crazy.

Wikipedia has 3 links indicating around 70% efficiency on the electrolysis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production#Electrolysis_of_water_%E2%80%93_green,_pink_or_yellow

Let's flip that around and pretend it's only 30% efficient, because we need to turn it back into electricity afterwards, and rather than quibble about exact efficiencies/losses, I'd rather exaggerate the loss for a theoretical worst case.

That's still X amount of electricity saved for later use, that would have otherwise have just been switched off.
And that's especially useful when your primary source is not available (ie, solar in the middle of the night).

I'm curious where you got these numbers from.

A "standard" house build is $200k-$300k, it doesn't seem right that adding double glazing and proper insulation to every wall and ceiling would double it, not even close.

Someone in this thread on Reddit suggested under $15k for the above. https://www.reddit.com/r/AusFinance/comments/1dkyokv/how_much_extra_would_it_cost_to_build_a_super/

An estimated 15% reduction in running costs (affecting both heating and cooling) would be at least hundreds of dollars a year, the extra insulation would pay for itself within a decade, completely ignoring the side benefits of increased house value and a quieter house.

I'm just glad that this judgement travelled back in time!

It must have, otherwise Samsung phone's wouldn't have the Galaxy Store on them.
And Huawei phones wouldn't have AppGallery on it.

And things like aptoide, f-droid and taptap wouldn't exist.

This is about Epic wanting their store to be available on the google store, and none of these articles understand that at all.

[–] Mountaineer@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.

Worst/Pragmatic.
If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.
That's the rarer event - normally it's more like "the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it" and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won't be met.
Is my position arrogant? This is the job.

Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.

I'll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.

[–] Mountaineer@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It IS bespoke internal development, not for deployment outside of the facility.
The computers running the software exist only to run this software and have no business talking to the internet at all.
IT is provided by an external third party vendor who operate on an inflexible "best practices dogma".

 

It's been a long time since I was on the job market, but it was certainly disheartening how low the response ratio was.
I must have sent out 40 applications for every response, even an acknowledgement of receipt was rare.

 

We have quite a budget collected over the last 5 years, and while we're really happy to see so many in the Jellyfin community contribute to us, we want to ask you to stop!

No, really. We don't actually need your money. At least, not here and now.

We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that's over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.

Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team. With the API changes in 10.9.0 and the upcoming 10.10.0 releases, they're going to be very busy trying to keep up, and thus could really use your support in a way that the core project here doesn't right now.

So, if there's a client you use every day and that you love, consider finding it's author in our list of official clients, and sending them a little something instead (or too).

No, this doesn't violate our policy of "no paid development", because donations are just that - donations. We will still not honour bug bounties or similar, and still not use our collective finance here for paid development. So don't feel like you're doing something wrong, you're not!

I'll leave this notice up until we drop to ~1 year (12 months) of remaining runway, at which time we can re-evaluate where we're at.

Happy watching!

I personally would rather see then take some of the "extra" money and apportion it to suitable client projects themselves, but I can understand them not wanting to become financial administrators in that way.

I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been an official post about this yet.

Big thanks to @joshuaboniface and the rest of the Jellyfin team

I'm also personally waiting for 10.9.1, there appears to be a small migration issue, and a memory leak.

 

Not really news.

Engie were being paid 9 Million a year to have these things do nothing as practically unused backup and ElectraNet didn't renew the contract.

Jellyfin 10.8.12 released (forum.jellyfin.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Mountaineer@aussie.zone to c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml
 

Joshua Boniface says:

We're pleased to announce a new hotfix release for the Jellyfin server and web client, 10.8.12!

This release brings in a few bugfixes since 10.8.11, including fixes for broken playlists ( 🙌 ), VAAPI UMD/KMD, and others; please see the full changelog for details! Note that this release does NOT include an update to SkiaSharp to fix their recent CVEs, as the updated version of the library segfaults Jellyfin on any API access. We are continuing to investigate options there but did not want to block these other bugfixes on that.

10.8.12 should be a seamless upgrade for anyone running 10.8.11 (I just tested it myself), but of course if you notice any problems please open a thread in the Troubleshooting forum for assistance!

The release on GitHub, including changelog, is at: link

Binaries are available in all the usual places: Docker Hub, Our Official OS Repos, and Our Main Repository Page.

Happy watching!
