A really ugly and confusing UI.

True and that’s the same for universities in other countries.

Hybrid or small turbo 4 cylinder for hilly neighbourhoods? in c/[email protected]

True. I used to love our old Golf TDi. I don’t think manufacturers sell diesel cars/SUVs in Canada anymore, except maybe Mercedes-Benz.

They’re hills, but steep.

Bending spacetime.

Hybrid or small turbo 4 cylinder for hilly neighbourhoods? (lemmy.ca)
 

While touring a bunch of hilly neighbourhoods, driving up and down tiny, steep hills with sharp corners, this question popped into my mind. Which is better for this kind of driving, a hybrid or a smallish (e.g. 1.5L) turbo 4 cylinder?

They both have low end torque, though the hybrid's torque may come on sooner. The hybrid also has regen braking that can reduce heat buildup in the brakes. The hybrid may be a bit heavier due to the battery and additional hardware.

Would steep inclines put a strain on the turbo and reduce its life span? I know nothing about car mechanicals, so I really don't know if that's possible or not.

The hybrid seems to make more sense. 🤷

Any thoughts?

Sorry, I'm the idiot for assuming it's universally understood what a brummie is.

I'm one of these people that identifies vehicles by looking at them. It's a talent that impresses my kid so I'll take that as a positive! 😁

There's a young Russian virtuoso guitarist online who speaks English with a brummie accent.

That’s a good idea.

What is the most painless and minimal way to dual boot these days? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I added a second SSD to my windows laptop and installed Linux on it. I configured the BIOS to boot from this second SSD. Painless!

Self hosted video chat (lemmy.ca)
 

If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?
