 apparently you can now buy more assembled one but the price is frankly rather ridiculous

 that's like ~170 exchange rate eur and it doesn't even include the rasbpi and most cables you need 
 i could check with my raspberry "kvm" but i turned it off as a waste of electricity as without atx power control bit it kinda couldn't actually do anything anyway

 @7e00ff73 that's not really a difficult task? even free (open) software can do that (or even focuses on that, like ghost), you're really overpaying on a middle-man with patreon?

 @7646aa6b well, you're selling your service/content somewhere 
 patreon is really a weird thing that should not really exist? you'd think banks and fintechs would make it easy for anyone to set up card payments at minimal cost, but then maybe people go for patreon mostly for tax (avoidance) reasons?

 trying to measure fridge power use
> 0W
press random buttons, the meter must be broken
> 0W
open the door to check if the fridge is on
> 1W, light inside on
i mean, in retrospect, it makes sense the fridge doesn't need power when the compressor isn't on, right 
 The cats were away for few weeks and I forgot the main lesson of living with cats, if you have a place you don’t want a cat to be in, you have to watch it every single second.

 @673e48e3 i think it's intentionally provocative as in czechia we use very strong euphemisms for whatever happened with the germans after the war ("odsun")

 @673e48e3 @214fcd33 when it's a separate carriage, it's between the first and second, but when it's this mixed oddity, it's always rotated with the cafe facing the locomotive, it must be deliberate, but i have no idea why

https://blovice.bahnhof.cz/media/9f15cf155955c7bbdddfe366126a5a9c1d87721ed7a1db0ae59f683b44231f20.png 
 @673e48e3 @214fcd33 either way the pricing is usually such that a fully occupied first class carriage makes more money than second, it's like the "penalty" is losing maybe a quarter of seats while the price is easily double 
 @673e48e3 @214fcd33 I'd have actually taken the first on this train too, but decided against it because it's the stupid ČD half diner/half first and the first is always placed between the food and the rest of the train, so you are paying extra for sitting in a busy corridor, thank you very much 
 @673e48e3 @214fcd33 i take the first class mostly because the student discount doesn't apply to the first class tickets

 @673e48e3 with Czech railways it usually depend on the mood and supplier of whoever did the retrofit, when it’s new long distance ish rolling stock, it tends to be a plug per two seats as well, however, shockingly enough, commercial open access ops almost always go for a plug per seat because it doesn’t cost much more and people like it

 Four mains and four USB ports for three seats, someone took this really seriously. (All while most other cd carriages have often just like one plug per 4 seats if any.)
