  • Imported chinese EVs are still undercutting the European manufacturers, as much they have been lobbying to have increased import fees on the cheaper non EU EVs. The narrative is that they are heavily subsidised to the extend they cannot compete anymore, in so crippling overal in-continent EV development. Resulting in a dependence to the East.

    If I am not mistaken such import fee has just passed in Brussel, in order to protect the European market.

    In a weird way, humanity has been longing for greener automobile solutions, and now that it’s there, Europe wants to slow it down.



  • I have a Mac mini m1 and run several containers to manage media, arrs and vpn. I also have a Debian vm for homeassitant. I had used UTM prior but now moved the vm to VMware fusion.

    Main issue I run into is not enough ram as the base model only has 8gb. And I do not have redundancy optimised when I reboot. I have it locked with a password so it doesn’t auto run the containers or the vm.

    I double the mac for light browsing too. I considered getting a dedicated Linux mini pc for the services next to a desktop Mac. But my usage is too sparse at both ends of the spectrum.











  • Thank you for pointing out the obvious mistake.

    I tried the hass route instead, but can’t get it to work due to dependency issues once I try to install the supervisor package. Even though the aarch64 OS agent seems to install without issue. I’m tired of getting it to work.

    I have managed to install HASS on a Mac mini m1 through a Debian vm in UTM, that is serving its introduction purposes right now. Likely I will end up getting a home assistant Green at some point, but I don’t find the price that appealing for what it is. Or I need to shell out even more for a n100 mini pc.






  • On the first, dammit of course you are right. I measured the outer, and yes it is measures 95mm to the best of my abilities.

    Okay the 0,75-1% gives me some indication, and seems to align with thoughts on my crosspost on the Evil-Reddit too.

    Several bike websites mentioned that for 11 speed and up, one should better replace the chain when 0.5% lengthening is reached to preserve cog wear. Now I think i should take that with a grain of salt, where it likely is a conservative target. I do think i might benefit for getting a different chain wear tool with more granular indicator points.
