Do snakes prefer to drink warm or cool water? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] kaedon@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

I'm not claiming it's for sure an evolved trait, but most people do prefer cold water (and hot water) over lukewarm water. Here's a paper if your curious: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41266787

Do snakes prefer to drink warm or cool water? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I think the reason we evolved to prefer cold water is because warm water is more likely to be stagnant and contain dangerous pathogens. The cold water of lakes, streams and springs was much safer for our ancestors.

How do I setup a "portable proxy" using a Raspberry Pi? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] kaedon@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I think tailscale is the way to go. You can also self-host the coordination server if you don't want to use any third party services.

People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] kaedon@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've been running KDE-debian for 1.5 years on my amd framework with no issues (fingerprint sensor worked after installing some software). Can't say anything for nixos though.

Year-round solar water temperature sensor (imgur.com)

A small solar power system to run a LoRa water temperature sensor year round. Here's some pretty graphs of the data:

https://www.kaedon.net/mitigomish/watertemp

This is a project that's been running for almost 2 years now. Everything is still working with very little down time! The solar power system is way overpowered for what it's doing, but I wanted to make sure it works through the dark winters.

The temperature sensor is at the bottom of a bucket in the ground, because the water level gets pretty low in the winter and I didn't want the ice to destroy the temperature sensor when it drifts.

Any thoughts or suggestions for improvements are welcome!
