Actually just had a short conversation with @ruud@lemmy.world about the latency. We’re going to try and address that for those of us outside of Europe.

The key with windows is reducing your cost. I too received a quote for $30-40k back in the day… so I did it myself with vinyl replacements (double pane, argon, etc). Ended up spending only a few thousand total for the whole house, I know I did a better job than the local contractor because I spent my time and did it right.

We had a massive comfort difference due to the old windows being extremely drafty (1960’s original wood single-pane). In my opinion that’s the biggest benefit. We also were able to remove our storm windows, so improved exterior visibility, reduced cleaning, and improved curb appeal in my opinion.

Energy-savings, yeah not so much unless you DIY like I did to keep the cost down.

Fuck no!

Thank you!

Considering how problematic water heaters can be, I’d refuse shipment on that. Especially with the glass lining. It looks like someone hit it with a forklift or something.

Yes, 100% this. Debian stable, no GUI for servers. Never have a problem.

Looking good, you love to see it!

Warmapper is on mastodon by the way.

Yes, I’m very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

Burn it to the ground! I wish all top subreddits had the balls to go dark indefinitely to the point they have to backpedal or forcibly take over the subreddits. Burn it to the fucking ground!
