  My heat pump has used less than that since it was installed, in 2023…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Servers go Brrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You draw an average of constantly ~10kW? That is a crazy amount of power, how many gaming rigs/servers do you have to get that high

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Servers go Brrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Surprised it would be pretty much the same amount every month, does your area not really have a winter/summer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Servers go Brrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I do, most of the time. A while back I tracked my monthly electricity usage and it ranges from 200-700kWh a month. That includes cooking, heating and hot water too, one of the first things I did when getting my house was move everything to electricity and get the gas disconnected.

  Are you American? Never heard someone here calls it gas and this is a UK community/article.

  Walk or cycle, if its too far for that you should be able to get free travel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuel is so expensive I can't afford the school run — what can I do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You could walk or cycle like a normal person. You don’t need an emotional support SUV to take the kids to school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehh, at that point it is going to vary so much by relationship, lifestyle and work its hard to really say.

  Is your job easier or harder than raising kids? While I haven’t raised kids I have hung out with people who have them, pretty sure I have worked jobs that are much harder but currently do one that is much easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah a few countries are more equal, of course you also have some that equally tell you to get fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but then don’t be surprised at the other person doing less of the childcare when they have to go back to work almost straight away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t have kids but between the 2 of us we have 1 parent that could get here the same day if needed. 2 who we could see if willing to spend a fortune on the train to very remote areas and a full days travel. 1 who we don’t know what country they are in or even if they are still alive.

  So any extra childcare would be entirely reliant on 1 person. We could move to change that to a different person but that hardly helps, there is no location that would be close to any 2 of our parents.

  There is FOSS software for elearning, Moodle. Just upload your homework to that in any of the many formats it supports.

  Not going to uni is feeling like one of the best choices I ever made

  Should see if Ukraine wants any of them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Women do get a shitload more time off work for it than men, so they kinda have to be the one doing most of the childcare regardless of what either parent actually wants.

  Friend of ours recently had another child, she is getting most of a year off, he got a couple weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s his fault or it’s not her fault?

  The attempts at work so far are so shit I don’t even need to sabotage them, yet management go on and on about how great it is. I am increasingly getting a feeling that no one understands the product I work with because they are all just trusting the LLM output which is so badly wrong very frequently.

  Fuck it, I handed my notice in recently in a response to a return to office order, so it isn’t going to be my problem.

  But I don’t use windows 11, still using a local account just fine.

  Well if it was out of nowhere, imprisonment sounds like a tempting choice.

  If it was in response to being attacked, yeah that makes more sense.

  You can get those here, but its normally cheaper overnight when I am not using anything and more expensive during the day when I am. There isn’t much I could load shift so it probably isn’t worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Run the dishwasher, plug in the car: how Great Britain plans to use record wind and solar power | With a summer glut on cards, customers are being urged to use more energy when renewables are abundant⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Got a heat pump, tbh the best single energy saving thing I could do is switch to gaming on a steamdeck. That may even take around 1/3rd off my already low energy bill. Maybe get a fairly low spec and low energy usage mini PC. How much do you really need to run Rimworld, Factorio or CDDA?

  The idea of having 2 PCs for my own gaming seems odd, higher hardware costs but it may pay for its self in energy savings. Should get a meter to check what my PC actually uses when running these games though. Or just drop higher end games entirely?

  I don’t have a dishwasher or a car. There is also no financial incentive to do this for many people. Not sure if there are many loads I could move to a different time of day really, maybe washing machine but I dry clothes outside so I run it at a time that optimises drying time.
