  • Did you read your own links at all before sending them?

    Tesla owners line up, hoping to get a charge.

    You need more chargers. Not the cars fault.

    A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours.

    Yes, like I said: cold batteries charge slower. This is well known. Drive a bit before expecting to push 200 kW into a frozen battery. I’ve ghit my max (155 kW) many times.

    Other drivers spoke about how the cold seemed to drain their batteries more quickly than normal.

    Also well known. All cars use more energy to heat up the cabin in winter, including ICE vehicles.

    Other Tesla drivers report no issues.

    Crazy, it works for some. Maybe they have these magical batteries you accused us of having?

    “We do get less mileage on the battery in extreme temps which means we have to charge more often” in the cold, she added.

    Which nobody ever denied being true.

    The problems that are being reported this week seem to center on long lines at Supercharger stations, Maslan said. But she adds that in nearly 10 years of owning a Tesla, she’s never had to wait for a Supercharger slot. Other than being mindful of the potential for reduced range, she concluded, “I’ve never had a problem driving the car due to the cold.”

    Incredible! Her car must be exported from Norway! Zero issues in 10 years, just like we experience here! Unbelieveable.

    I’m out of this argument now. You have demonstrated that you have absolutely zero knowledge of how EV’s work and you are a waste of everybodys time and energy.
    Stay clueless and ignorant, I don’t really care, but for anyone reading this in the future: surph_ninja literally argued batteries don’t work in the cold in a thread about EV’s being sold in the frozen hellhole called Norway. The irony is incredible.


  • The exact same batteries as you have in your EV’s, which is why you are either ill-informed or lying. I am guessing it’s the first, so I am arguing in good faith.

    Just take a step back: A country with 5,5 million people and 93% of all new cars are EV’s. Who has more knowledge on how they work in the cold? You, my new found friend on Lemmy, or us?
    Not trying to be snarky, but we drive them every single day in winter. Batteries do not need to be heated to work, so please stop spreading this lie.
    They DO however need a certain battery temp to charge, but that’s a different discussion.

    I’m not arguing against hydrogen cars. I am just correcting some if the claims you have made.


  • You’re incredibly confident for being so blatantly incorrect.

    We had negative 30 C last winter. I drove my EV to work every single day. When the batteries were cold I had reduced power available, which made no difference at all as it was -30 C and snow everywhere.
    Using the battery also heats it up. Zero pre-heating of the batteries. I can literally watch my available power return while driving normally.

    If batteries wouldn’t work in the extreme cold, they would not be able to turn over the starter on your ICE car either, which it very clearly does….

    You are literally arguing against something close to a million people do in Norway every single day between November and March. Open a map and look how far north we stretch. Oslo is as far north as Vancouver. People live and drive EV’s in Hammerfest.

    So please, just stop. You are dead wrong about batteries/EV’s, but take this chance to learn something new.




  • Yeah this mirrors my approach to it.

    People can like Trump/Musk or dream of Marxism in practice. I am so far from both ideologies that I find it difficult to relate to either, and end up being called a traitor by the left and a triggered lib/loser by the right. Lemmy is in my experience quite left.

    The political differences have become so extreme that I just avoid any debate at all and stick to the technical stuff and hobbies. My sanity is more important to me than trying to convince someone over the pond that they are wrong.

    Honestly, I just try to live my life as the best person I can be. I’ve gotten to old to try to change anyone else. And I have had some great encounters here, so I am not going back to Reddit anytime soon.

    Stay awesome, people!


  • I’d probably go for a small N100 mini-PC.
    Should be plenty powerful for what you need, very low wattage and relatively trivial to get GPU pass through in Proxmox. Alternatively one of the more powerful versions.

    This depends on how many cameras, resolution and frequency of course, but you should be able to see if others with similar setups have it running smoothly. You’d be limited on storage, but can set up NFS to your NAS or existing server.


  • I plan to use Surveillance Station in my Synology NAS.
    Two PoE cameras on their own physical network. Everything is laying in the closet still as life just gets in the way, but hopefully it will be done this winter or spring.

    I also have a Eufy 2k Doorbell camera with a hub for local storage.

    None of it is for actual protection though, as burglaries are rare here. It’s only because I love tech and to capture interesting moments. I also plan on making time lapses because they are cool.





  • I’m by no means an expert in Linux, but my best advice for someone finding docker complicated is to run Portainer.
    It’s made my Docker-life so much easier, especially if you run stacks with compose files. It’s all graphical via the browser interface.

    Need to make a change to to one of your containers?
    Change the compose file (which stays exactly like you pasted it originally) in Portainer and re-deploy.
    Need to update the container?
    Click update and it re-deploys with the newest image.
    Want to stop a container?
    Just click stop.

    The first thing I’ve done on all my small servers is to get the Docker Daemon running with CLI in the terminal, install Portainer and do everything else there.

    So if you’re dumb, then I’m dumb too, and it’s not very nice to call people you don’t know dumb, now is it…!?

    Honestly, feel free to ask if you find the motivation to give it another crack and need some help. It’s made me go from hating Docker to absolutely loving it.


  • I agree.

    It’s easy to forget how much time and dedication running a custom setup can cost, and that quickly drains whatever wife-acceptance-factor you had left.

    Think of paying for a pre-built NAS less as just overpriced HW, but more as great software features that work out of the box and a dev team improving functionality for you every day.
    It can host a plethora of containers with ease on the side anyways, and if you need something specific that requires more juice: build that on the side and tinker with it.

    N100 mini-PC for instance can host anything but heavy game servers for <15W.





  • We seem to have followed a similar path, but I am quite satisfied. I do have a family though, so maybe that’s what does it….

    It sucked making sacrifices in my 20’s, but looking at where I landed, I would not change it if I could. Would you?

    Don’t get me wrong; We are nowhere close to rich, but we managed to buy a decent house and not having to wory about the price of groceries and the bills every month, and that’s all we really need.

    Early 30’s for reference.
