No, the heat pump will use more electricity than the heat engine will turn back into electricity.

It is Italy, not Greenland. For most of the year, the local residents are going to want cooling, not heating.
Even in Scotland, people don't want heating right now.

I have a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire 800 adapter. String those together, with a Firewire 800 to 400 cable if necessary, and I can connect all my firewire devices to my MacBook.

Which at the time would have been known as the "useless serial bus".

Remember that your $200 coffee maker, and you, both need to last 60 years for it to be better value that your $50 coffee maker.

MacOS does allow | in filenames, as does FreeBSD. Windows does not.
Which leads to problems if I save a web page as pdf on the Nextcloud share folder on my Mac and later try to access it on the same Nextcloud share folder on my Windows pc.
Because most web browsers have the default filename as the section of the website, and that is generally a decently descriptive name for the file, and there are often | characters in that. On Windows they get changed to something else, usually _, but MacOS web browsers don't do that, because they don't need to.

The first letter - eg L for London or S for Scotland is usually pretty obvious. The second letter, obviously not so much.

I just buy a few things pretty much every day on the way home from work.

Vancouver has a port. It is actually closer to China than LA. If you sail up the east coast of Asia and keep going, you will continue down the west coast of America.

Of course Canada has a much smaller population than the US, and you may not want to unload an entire container ship there and ship the bulk of it over land to the US, but unloading a few containers there and then taking the ship south could work.

Take the MX Keys S, cited in here as now costing $130, up from $110.
It costs £90 at John Lewis in the UK, or £100 at Amazon, both prices including 20% sales tax. On Logitech's own website, it is also £100.
£90 translates to about $120, or $100 excluding sales tax. The price at Amazon and Logitech, excluding sales tax, is about $110, same as the pre-tariff-hike price in the US.
So for now at least, it looks like they are not hiking prices in the UK.

I migrated from Redis to Valkey (on FreeBSD) about 6 months ago.
As migrations go, it was extremely painless:
Install Valkey
Copy the contents of /usr/local/etc/redis.conf to /usr/local/etc/valkey.conf
Edit /etc/rc.conf to start the valkey service instead of the redis service
Shut down the redis service and start the valkey service (maybe about a minute of downtime here)
Uninstall redis

There is one, possibly. This video talks about it and the technology they are using, but as far as I can see, doesn't name the company.

I used to use google.it when I wanted specifically Italian content, which is something I need to do quite a bit for work purposes (I'm in the UK).
That is no longer possible, and it has made it much more difficult for me to find Italian content, because it always assumes I want results in English.

The certbot plugin doesn't have a huge amount of code -
https://github.com/certbot/cer...

A bit more for Posh-ACME, but then, Powershell is generally more verbose than Python anyway

I use OVH for my domains.
Posh-ACME (Windows / Powershell) supports it out of the box, Certbot (Linux | FreeBSD / bash | csh) has a separate package you can install for it, so in both cases, there's no problem.
