    Republicans vote to dilute gas as prices rise above $4.50

  • Yeah they recommended the same alkylate here.

    I have to admit: I know very little of GM engines, and they sell very few cars here. It's becoming even less relevant as EV's are just dominating completely, passing 97% here last month.For me personally it's the snow blower and motorcycles, but both of those are new enough to handle E10. I still give them 98 as they sometimes have to sit idle due to weather, and we have winter from October to April.

    I've heard the same about petrol being stored, but I've never had issues either. At least a year seems to be more than OK, but that is always 98.95 E10 might be worse as it absorbs water over time...Hope your rototiller works fine next time you use it !

  • In Norway, 98 is still ethanol free for older cars and engines only used seasonally like lawn mowers and snow plowers.

    95 is of course (up to) 10% and that’s completely fine for anything even remotely modern and in use every now and then.

    Like you said: hoses don’t like the ethanol, and it’s hydroscopic which is what can cause issues if left in for 6 months every year.

    Why does Lemmy.ML admire authoritarian regimes ?

    Jump

  • I'll be a bit greedy and add in: Not kill each other over ideological differences and just do our own shit and be happy.

    I realize this sounds like Utopia, but one can dream!

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • I think you’ve been in Denmark for to long hehe.It’s $350/year these days.Still very good though, and hospitals are usually free.

    After giving birth a few years ago, the only cost was ish $30 in parking for two days.

    Can Norway be considered a petro-state?

    Jump

  • I’d say both yes and no.

    Not as dependant on it to completely hit the definition, but it’s still a relatively high source of income.The big difference is that our income is invested globally through Oljefondet (Statens Pensjonsfond Utland), so today we are much more vulnerable to financial instability than we are to fluctuating oil and gas prices.

    Export prices are not that high as there are pipelines in the North Sea and relatively short trips to our European neighbours, but our extraction price is on average about twice that of e.g. Saudi, at about $20-25 per barrel vs $10.Still a lot lower than in the US and UK.

    Another upside is that the North Sea oil is relatively light and sweet, making it easier and cheaper to crack into sellable products.

    Hope I answered all your questions, if not just ask again.

  • Printer recommendations

    Jump

  • I have a H2S, which has been incredible, but I’m eagerly awaiting INDX for either Core One+ or RatRig.

    Hopefully some good news this spring!

  • What’s it like in your country??

    Jump

  • Ditto, same experience in Oslo.

    Boring feels like the only "right" thing these days, with Trump and Putin doing their things.

    The media and politicians seem to take the Epstein-files seriously and prosecute, and I personally don't really notice any difference if the right or the left hold the government.

    Life feels pretty good, tbh.

  • RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More)

    Jump

  • Same for me.

    The moment I can use Docker, I’m spinning it up with Tailscale and invite those who are ready to swap.

    Fingers crossed it turns out as good as we hope!

  • If I buy a domain not from my own country, will it effect the useage at all?

    Jump

  • I own a .me domain as my last name was taken locally. Had it for a few years.

    .me is just so easy to share over the phone and looks cool, so I’d probably keep it even if I manage to snag the local one in the future.

    No issues so far

  • What's your self-hosting success of the week?

    Jump

  • I managed, without ever trying, to convert a friend to swap to Linux about a month ago.

    Today I’m driving over to give him my old old server so he can start self hosting. He’s super keen on getting started.

    So not my success, but ours? One more person joins the community today!

  • In arr stack how to pick indexers?

    Jump

  • Same story here.

    Have two private trackers now, but started with just using the ones I had heard of, and removed a few that kept coming up short.

    It works fine, but torrents died quite fast as most people don’t bother seeding there.For new stuff it worked fine

  • Anyone have some good electric cars?

    Jump

  • Concur on the PS2. Been super happy with ours.Chose it because we disliked Musk and wanted buttons.

    Cupra Born as the second car. Also been a problem free and fun little thing.

    Today I would look at the EX60, I4 or Polestar 4.

  • Linux Mint's success also means maintainer stress - The Register

    Jump

  • Agree!I’ve managed to convert three friends this last year. Two to Mint, one to Bazzite because he mostly games.

    Immutable distro is perfect for him, just working out of the box.

    Next «level» for him would probably be Fedora KDE Plasma, for sure not Arch.

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up and how long?

    Jump

  • Oooooooooh, well god dingit, there it is!

    Nice! Thanks again!

  • Seems to be missing in 10.11.3, so I might just be a few patches behind.I'll read the patch notes and see if it's been added recently.

    Just posting as it's good to know for others searching, I guess.

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up and how long?

    Jump

  • I obviously need to have another look when I get home!The issue started on 10.10, but I haven't looked into it after upgrading.

    Thanks for taking the time, Freund!

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up and how long?

    Jump

  • You are right, there is a checkbox, but no way to adjust the interval AFAIK.It seems to be a daily occurrence, which is fine when I just adjusted the container size.

    I'm going to be more weary of buying devices without H265/AV1 in the future, which is what I grab mostly. That should remove the need for transcoding completely anyways.

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up and how long?

    Jump

  • It's been fairly smooth lately, knock on wood!

    My Valheim server that is set up for friends and family had some issues, but nothing in the logs so I assume it was a weird network issue that solved itself.

    I also battled some problems with the Jellyfin temp/transcode folder ballooning in size, causing the whole server to crash as I hadn't dedicated enough space to the container. Considered making a script to clear the folder at even intervals, but it would cock up streaming if the missus was watching while the purge happened.Ended up just giving it 100 GB and let the daily clear be enough.It ended up being the missus' tablet suddenly requesting transcode of everything but H264, so I'm quietly hinting that she is due an upgrade anyways...

    Next project planned: Caddy (I've been saying that for 6 months.....)

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • I'll tag on you comment as it's the same country:

    About 10-12k NOK (so about 1000€) for a family of four.Could probably reduce, but it's important for us that the kids have access to healthy food that they like.Take-out not included, which we do once or twice a month. Probably around 100-120 € there.Tobacco for me is probably another 200 €. I should probably quit snusing.....
