Heat Issues

The big crime here is that the police don't arrest everyone in the house and do a full team photo-op in front of the racks before they demolish the property.

I literally said that I'm not saying there's zero reason.

Stops copies me!

My bitcoin miners did this to my garage roof.
I was waiting for a police search for a grow operation.

In the future all furnaces will be replaced by in home servers

This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you're not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?

[skyezopen@lemmy.world]

They did it to expose the cops performing illegal searches.

Well I can't read! apparently.

I wonder if some day we'll see space heaters that mine crypto.

Do you mean Barry Cooper with KopBusters?

Formerly a police officer in Texas, Cooper is best known for KopBusters, a series of online videos in which he attempts to document police misconduct, and Never Get Busted Again, a series of videos aimed at teaching citizens how to evade false arrest by the police.

You probably meant this Video about it that went viral.

[skyezopen@lemmy.world]

Yes! Just found a news report about it a few minutes ago and added it but thanks for finding a fuller version.

ok funny story about this actually. In the middle of winter our heater broke so it was really cold in the house. I had like 3 blankets covering me, but was still cold, so what did I do?
I put DOOM Eternal on my Steamdeck with the sound off and opened http://allblackscreen.com/ so it would show pure black and would act like a little heater to warm up my 'igloo' of blankets

This is 100% a thing. Basically just give it a flowering light cycle when it’s barely past the clone stage

Pro:

• a major problem for miners is heat dissipation

• the chips commodify more every year

Con:

• retail energy costs more than wholesale energy

• heat pumps are more cost effective in most cases

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

Heat pumps are more efficient, yes, but people still use space heaters to heat small areas. I can't pick up and move a heat pump around my home lol. Heating a small area a few more degrees is going to be cheaper than heating the whole house more a few more degrees (even with a heat pump).

[790@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I get why they did it, but I'm not bringing cops to my door as a gotcha.

[frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe]

Why didn't you just set your blankets on fire? Ez

The key is to live in an apartment and then install aluminum heat fins on every shared wall. Bonus points looks a little like a medieval torture chamber, but the real win is heating bill.
