[META] So is this community just a constant firehose of reposted links?
  • I think it's important to remember that there's no karma here. Post what you're interested in and willing to engage in discussion about as a rule of thumb. Also try and stay away from announcements, like "Brand X announces they'll come out with Car 2000 in 2026 as there's generally very little info or anything to talk about. There are of course exceptions, but I'm just talking general rule of thumb. If there's a BYD enthusiast, they'll of course post it, but it's fine, because they'll reply to every comment. The key is to let your posts reflect you. Articles are fine, but people are better.

    None of the yous were referring to you specifically three ๐Ÿ˜‚

  • [META] So is this community just a constant firehose of reposted links?
  • When I said that I will pass over articles, I meant see articles in my RSS and decide not to post them. I totally understand your frustration and exacerbation and ask for you to have a little patience. I will pin this so the process of posters being more picky about what they post is expedited a little.

  • [META] So is this community just a constant firehose of reposted links?
  • This community is for all discussion about electric vehicles. Different posters will have different ideas as to what makes a good post. A lot of the time, I will pass over articles because I'm not particularly interested in any discussion they may spur nor do I think people particularly care. But other posters will have their own ideas. I think as things settle down, we'll see more personalities come through and everyone will rein themselves in a bit, but they need time to settle in and get comfortable.

  • Kia stands by major EV sales goal with new affordable models
  • While I agree that the government should fund sensible things. We're not even willing to fund our NHS, we're not about to fund free transport. So we need to look at practical means to make it fund itself and force the public to change their habits.

  • Kia stands by major EV sales goal with new affordable models
  • How are you planning to pay the train drivers and station staff? I love free transport systems, but they're never actually free and at least in the UK, there's so much staked into the system that it's impossible to just flip a switch, declare it free and expect it to survive.

  • The 4680 isn't a dud, but the whole industry is betting on solid state and investing a lot in that. If the 4680 finds success, that will divert money away from solid state. As things stand, the 4680 is barely good enough and Zeng clearly isn't taking any chances and wants to kill it in its cradle.

  • Kia stands by major EV sales goal with new affordable models
  • That requires a surveillance state sadly. But the best solution is to charge (non disabled) drivers a toll fee for journeys under 3 miles, making it so they're forced to use public transport or bikes for short journeys.

  • America uses slave labour too. At every opportunity they've paid minimum wage and when workers started unionising, they started outsourcing to places they could get away with employing people for less than minimum wage. This is all well documented, just for some reason it's fine when America does it.

    Met.No is giving BOGUS and is being Refused Upstream

    This has been doing my head in for the longest and it's time to finally solve it.

    RandomText.api.met.no provides the weather for my Home Assistant, however Pi-Hole says it's bogus and is being refused Upstream, which is Unbound. I would really like to fix it. Even if I can whitelist it and just ignore the problem I'd be happy. Any suggestions?

    Please talk to me like I'm an idiot, because I don't have the foggiest with this.

    I did install unbound-anchor but that didn't fix anything.
