I think they could install android TV on that pi they have, make this solution free.

Idk, not something I’ve done, and based on 30 seconds of googling it it looks like it would be annoying, but I’ll let OP decide what is worth doing.

Switching to propane is one safer alternative that is being recommended for people with natural gas lines to their houses, it is less leaky and cleaner burning than the methane stuff. Propane won’t be banned, but it will become more expensive as supplies dwindle.

If you have an air conditioner you already have a heat pump, it just needs to be one that can alternate directions between heating and cooling. Also, backup emergency heat would not need to be nearly as extensive as a full house propane furnace. Or, you could just use a propane emergency generator instead and keep using the heat pump. Propane can be stored long term much more easily than alternatives like gasoline, and while it can be pricier, just having enough for emergencies is not a great cost.

Batteries or generators could also work for heat pumps, or you could have emergency backup propane heat. Basically the short answer to your concern is “prepare” just like how you handle every other emergency situation like that ever, regardless of what kind of heating system you use.

Also a big part of it is fixing up your insulation. Modern insulation is great, a well insulated house is super cheap/easy to heat.

What???

This is about heating homes in winter, what are you talking about?? Electric fans are more efficient at what?

Idk who told conservatives about libraries but if we had just kept quiet about them they never would have even realized they still existed.

Now they are complaining about libraries having books in them. They won’t be happy until they are empty concrete rooms. Such a pitiful shame they can’t see the objective value of libraries.

What purpose do achievements serve even? Are there rewards you are after?

Achievements have only ever been annoying pop-up from my perspective.

What is the appeal?

To be clear they just blocked the piracy community, it isn’t a full defederation from dbzer0

Lemmy.world has a rule against illegal content. This troll was trolling and got mad at dbzer0 for banning them. The troll then demanded the admins of lemmy.world defed from dbzer0 because piracy is illegal, and they blocked this and several other piracy communities at the troll’s request.

yeah he caused huge arguments in the biggest instance, the guy is talented.

Too bad that “talent” is being a huge asshole and getting the biggest reactions possible, instead of something useful.

the lemmy.world admins specifically fell for it, since they did block this community.

The issue with lemmy.one is that it appears the admin has lost interest in doing anything at all with it. The person who started it hasn’t been online for months, and when the server has issues no one resolves them or even notices.

I’m surprised it ever even came back up after it got broken for so long.
