Good morning.

31 July 2025

Oh, gee whiz! I was jolted awake extra early this morning—before five, even. My hearing aids were making a racket, which disturbed my wife, who then woke me. Once I stumbled through the fog of grogginess and my brain half-engaged, I realized the power was out. The generator either failed to start or kicked on briefly and then shut itself off.

Despite that, I fumbled my way through the house, instinctively flipping light switches in every room I entered, as if sheer willpower might restore electricity. Eventually, I returned to the bedroom, grabbed my phone, and used its flashlight to head outside and deal with the generator. It tends to shut down if the oil pressure drops—finicky thing.

Anyway, it’s running now. My brain is still only operating at half capacity, but there is coffee. And naps. Oh yes, there will be naps.

not a lot of #technology (especially nowadays) lasts this long!!! if you know of robust technology that lasted over 100 years please comment :D #renewables https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariazellerbahn

This comes from the traditions of the Wixárika people in Mexico, it's colored yarn pressed into beeswax and pine resin?

I think this is good magic. Some kind of cosmic generator or maybe THE Cosmic Generator. I'm looking at it and it's chasing away anything that's not alive and awake in my brain. I might even be getting younger, it's chasing Death away

Potent colors man. Modern life has nothing on this. Wow

I am sure I could have stopped the CS Energy Callide power station blowing up using software engineering monitoring #energy #monitoring #it #coal #generator #callide #queensland #explosion #softwareengineering

This Venn diagram-inspired AI image generator is strangely satisfying via Creative Bloq [Shared]

There are already more AI image generators than the world could possibly ever need, even if AI art does become the norm. But that's not stopping people from experimenting with new ways to present them.

Many AI image generators let you request a particular artistic style or combine several to influence the look of the image you want to generate. Super Random Studio has come up with a clever UI design to allow styles to be quickly changed and compared along with environments.

I don't want to advocate for everyone to have a fossil gas backup generator, because climate and also the considerable expense, and the air pollution.

But - 38 hours into this #outage with subfreezing overnight temps?
Feels like the best money ever spent.

Gestern hat mir ein sehr rationaler Freund erzählt, dass er einen #Generator angeschafft hat und auch sonstige Vorkehrungen für 2-3 Wochen Autarkie getroffen hat. Natürlich ist es leicht über #Prepper zu lachen, aber irgendwie macht mich das schon nachdenklich. Wie sieht es bei euch aus? Andere Optionen gerne als Antwort! #Umfrage

@zynmaster du meinst die logos wie man sie mit @s3lph sein https://antifa.s3lph.me machen konnte? #antifasticker
Ich hab ne zeitlang einiges in so nem Ordner gesammelt, gern anfragen.

Hours counter add-on for the generator, so I know when to change the oil.

These are vibration sensing, no wiring required. Just stick them to the case somewhere and when the motor is running, the regular vibrations activate it and it counts engine hours, stopping when the engine comes to a rest.

Has a CR2032 battery on the back. We'll see how that lasts. The display goes to sleep when not in use.

I just published a small open-source app to generate a colorful image from a URL. Say hello to Bubbles! https://codeberg.org/devrique/bubbles

Made with Godot Engine. Feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Problem with complex power systems are failure modes become hard to predict. I really like this fault description, must have cost a lot of money.

What is the way to add my front-end #markdown "generator" (it's more of a render) to your awesome-static-generators?
