For lifepo4 at least, if you stay between 80/20 life cycle is around 5000. 3000 is more car, heavy amp pull, high amp rapid charge.
Its the heavy amp draw, and the lack of regular balancing (other than a bms) that kills them faster.
Though, i built a home storage battery out of used 180aHr LifePo4 cells that came out of a delivery vehicle. They werent suited anymore for that kind of use, but for slow charge, and slow drain tiny house power use, they have worked for 4 more years so far.

Ive used all the note things. Evernote, One note, even a well set up org mode.
The best notes system ive ever used is vim, with the line:
nnoremap <leader>gf :edit %:h/<cfile><CR>
in vimrc.
By default, when you hover over a document link in vim, and hit gf, it will open it.
With this line added, when you hover over a new document link you just wrote, it will create it, and open it.
With this, you can start a main notes file with links, like...
todo
howto
research
get
When you first write these, use <leader> gf to create the new note in the same directory. After the new note is created, move the cursor over them, and hit gf to open them.
At the top of child notes, put a:
notes
-------------
so you can quickly navigate back to the main notes file.
The benefit of this is, you dont need anything but vim, and the notes folder just has plain text documents in it.
Lately, Ive been experimenting with using less and vi as a notes system.
You can load multiple documents into less, and move between them with :n and :p
(for next and previous). And when you hit 'v' in less, it will open the document in vi, seamlessly, and return to less when youre done editing.
But nothing beats vim with that one line. most portable, easy to use nested notes system ever.

This month, ive watched about 5 tutorial videos.
All other media, I listened to.
On a $5 vps, I used RSS to follow the video channels I used to watch, and used the data centers superfast internet to download everything which is then converted into small 48kbs .ogg files, and send to a single directory for rsyncing to my local machine.
Then download, and throw the files onto a reflashed early ipod, and head outside...
So far, my total data use for the month is under 50gb. Which is crazy because that includes several OpenBSD -current upgrades, and several ISO downloads.

I think I understand what the Biden presidency is now.
Biden is an empty place holder for the National Security
State, the Military Industrial Complex, and the Federal
Bureacracy. He occupies the executive branch as a
marionette, as a pass-through for the real forces
running the country.
Voting for Biden is voting for the Federal Bureacracy,
Intel Agencies, "public private partnership"(fascism),
and War.

What I am starting to understand is, we are living through a global transition the likes of which the world has never seen.
Many dont grasp what is happening around them because they do not understand the period we are living through, and do not understand that forces have targeted them... have targeted all of us.
We have entered the period of 5th generation warfare. And all those who wage war, are rushing to become dominant in this form of war.
Nuclear weapons and standing armies are being replaced by mind manipulation systems. How things become popular has been studied, systemized, and tested. A.I. systems are being refined to understand how to manipulate perception. To rule, and wage war through the principles of deception.
5th generation warfare is a war against truth. A war against perception. A war against expression. And it will affect everyone. Especially those who ignore this.
The ability to discern the truth, outside of State and corporate propaganda, will become increasingly valuable.
Your ability to communicate outside the reach of those who seek power, will become increasingly invaluable.
Understand what 5th generation warfare is here:

I do not believe this Pentagon "leaker" story.
It stinks of fabrication.
The mistake that was made in the construction of the story, was claiming this Airman pulled the information off of JWICS. Even if he had the SCI clearance required to enter and access a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Fascility), which is the only way to access JWICS, there would be a logged record of his searches associated with his ID, and a logged record of any printed documents. There is also no physical way to download documents from a SCIF to an external device, and JWICS is a closed intranet. The system is designed to prevent leaks. The claim that the New York Times supposedly found this person by matching the patterns of granite from his counter top, is at best, a fabrication. And then there is the matter of the documents themselves, and knowing where to find them. You dont just "see" documents like this in a SCIF. You have to know exactly where to look. Unless someone sends you an ICE mail telling you exactly where to look, (of which there would be a record), you would not find them. The way this whole story was presented, the behavior of the corporate media, the way the Pentagon officials talked, it reeks of a staged event. We have seen first hand how they really behave when a real leak occurs. The wild anger and rage they directed toward Snowden is an example.
I do not believe this story.
So the question becomes, why do this? Why lie? What would be the purpose?.
The answer to that is two fold. The first is an increasing sentiment within the U.S. bureacracy which sees its own constitution, and citizenry as an obsacle to its "job", which in their minds, requires more and more power. The second, related to the first, is answered by the demands they make in the wake of the event. What do they want?
Two things were expressed...
1. More power, funding, and control over the internet. It will be used to push Senate Bill 686, the Restrict Act. Or something similar, with the goal being complete control over all communication across the internet. You see, they have used the internet to destabilize and topple other countries. They are terrified of this happening to them. So now, by consequence, the 1st Amendment is a threat to their power. And since the Smith-Mundt act was gutted during the Obama administration (which Biden is a continuation of), the legal restrictions that prevented the CIA from running propaganda ops on the American public have been removed.
2. The inteviews about this "leaker" contained continual references to how he was a "God loving patriot". As the "War on Terror", which they created, winds down, and they need a new enemy to justify their massively bloated secred budgets, they want to create a new enemy. Their target it seems is the American public itself. Or more specifically, the majority of people who belive that government should be restrained, answerable, and transparent. To accomplish this, they intend to create a stereotype, and then use their corporate media partners to insist that this created stereotype is first real, second a minority, and third, a grave threat to "America".
I believe that there is a war going on inside all federal agencies right now. I think that if this Airman is not a prop, he was likely a part of an entrapment event, which are being run by the FBI and DOJ, who are searching all federal agencies for people who are willing to speak out in defense of the Constitution, when the see that the Government is breaking the law. They are trying to drive all of them out, leaving only those who show absolutely loyalty to Agency, and State, above Constitutional law.
What I suspect all of this is, is the out of control emergence of the Military Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address... the jugernaut, which if not stopped, would eventually threaten the People themselves, the liberty of everyone, and the nation itself.

When government crafts an Internet regulation bill, more often than not, the bill shows how ignorant most politicians are about how the internet works.
This is not the case with Senate Bill 686.
If you read it, you will see that this bill is unlike anything weve seen before.
In the past, National Security included the preservation of Constitutional rights. That is going away. These people have one goal. Control. Your rights and freedoms are in the way.
This thing had to have been written by tech experts. Evil fascist tech experts. It is designed to obliterate all freedom on the internet. Specifically, and intentionally. That freedom is viewed as a "National Security threat".
These people are increasingly seeing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as a "threat to National Security". And we need to understand that when they say "National Security", they mean "ability to control EVERYTHING"
This bill places everything, and I do mean everything, under the jurisdiction of unelected, "boards" , "panels of experts", and intel agencies.
Defeating this bill is not enough. The people who created it need to be routed out.

Listen up!
I you, like me, have been wondering what is really behind the strange, over the top push to ban TicTok, the real motive is starting to emerge.
You have to understand, TicTok does collect huge amounts of data. But that is NOT unusual for large social media companies. If collection was the real issue here, the bills being pushed would be targeting data collection. They arent. There is something else behind this.
What seems to be going on here is the National Security State is creating another false crisis, using fear, in an attempt to pass legislation which makes the Patriot Act look mild in comparison.
You will NOT BELIEVE what is being proposed to "fix the TicTok" problem.
The Deterring America's Technological Adversaries Act , is a full blown hostile takeover of the free internet, rendering it a completely State controlled channel. If you think this is hyperbole, check it out for yourself. This is the Neo-fascist State we have been seeing emerge all over the west, just dropping the mask, and showing what they intend to do.

2023-03-27 02:27:14 GMT

If a predictive statement about the consequences of government plans causes all corporate media to suddenly erupt emotionally in unison shouting "conspiracy theory! far-right! kremlin! racist! danger to democracy!", that statement is probably worth looking at. The corporate media rarely does this for obviously false statements. They only do it when a statement contains a truth the quasi-fascist neo-lib establishment does not yet want known.
