Save $100 buying two small fridges, pays $100 a year more in power bills to run two small fridges.

[–] SirYeet 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was thinking along those lines too. Hopefully op factored that in and it may be negligible

[–] redpen 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it actually more power intensive?

[–] Cheese 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

we need to ask technology connections, He would know.

First I've heard of this, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Enjoy! They just fixed a hitch with accounts and the subscriptions and it's nice and stable now it seems!

[–] Jilanico 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting thanks for sharing! Only thing missing is the absolute chaos in the comments. YT comments are half the fun haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's true haha, and there's a couple other quirks. Unfortunately the trending page is pretty bad (makes sense, it's just accountless YouTube) and there lack of tracking that YouTube uses on you mean you only get your subscriptions.

So if you're a YouTube explorer it can definitely limit finding new channels from the frontpage. (For me so far at least). However, the videos when you are watching something still have a mix of your subs and similar channels, so that's good enough for me for now. I also assume that it, unfortunately, probably doesn't fully support the channels (views, engagement). I'm not 100% on what the deal there is but it's worth mentioning.

Super cool project though, self-hosted solutions are always welcome and the developer seems to be quite young and enthusiastic which is always welcome.

That motherfucker went DEEP on fridges in his last video.

[–] Robnez 4 points 1 year ago

Since no one linked the actual video, here it is.

From the Google: The electricity consumption of average mini or compact refrigerators is about 233 kWh to 310 kWh. Meanwhile, refrigerators (18-20 cubic feet) often use between 404 and 613 kWh.

[–] redpen 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Seems comparable. And you would only be opening one and losing energy for half of the total volume when doing it this way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Electrically comparable only if they are volumetrically, which they are not. Typical mini fridges have an average volume of 2.5 to 3 cubic feet. So approximately one sixth the volume for half the electrical consumption is not a worth trade.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don’t lose half of the volume when you open a fridge door. The “cold” is stored in the items inside the fridge.

[–] Ragglemcsnics 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While yes you're very right, that also assumes you have the fridge packed full.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If you’re interested in saving electricity, you should. Even if it’s just a pot of water. Empty refrigerators run constantly.

[–] skepticalifornia 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed, probably a little more efficient to use the 2 mini fridges.

[–] malloc 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nothing like opening 3 doors to find the item you want 😂

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy 4 points 1 year ago

More like opening 3 doors and NOT finding the item you want

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Unmodded minecraft storage flashbacks

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Even more functional - you can open it from more angles.

[–] TheVampireSaga -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

don't do this btw, you could very easily start a fire with this.

[–] Mr_Blott 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah if you doused them in diesel and started throwing lit Zippos at them
