Yes to both.

It can be programmed to do so, but I disabled it as I am not particularly concerned about it, and the solar thermal vacuum tubes also connected to the same tank will occasionally push it to near boiling temperatures.

I originally also thought it would be useful to dehumidify the air, but in reality the times when you need to heat water and the same time have a humidity problem rarely overlap in my case. Maybe if you have a perpetually humid cellar that you don't use much otherwise (as the exhaust air is quite cold) it would be a good addition.

Noch besser ist eine Präferenzwahl.

I have such an air to water heat-pump. It reaches 55°C without the supplementary electric water heater, which is more than sufficient if you have a hot water tank. The supplementary electric heater is really only used when too many people want to shower in a short timeframe or to occasionally heat the tank up to 70°C+ to kill off any bacteria that might be growing in it.

I don't think you will find a heat-pump with a variable drive compressor like you are proposing, but a DIY solution might be feasible.

But why not just install a vacuum tube solar-thermal water heater? They are more efficient anyways.

edit, delete, etc.

Can you do that with a letter once it is send? And the instance admin of the mirroring server can delete posts if that is legally required for some reason.

And how would that even work technically? Bulk import posts and spam other instances with mass updates? That would immediately detected as a spam-wave and blocked. And back dating technically new messages is also not exactly a great thing to allow.

Other implementations of nomadic identity like Hubzilla get around this by letting you run two accounts in parallel and syncing them from your main account, but they will also not back-port old messages before you linked up the secondary account.

Basically anyone with some experience with federated systems agrees that importing old messages in bulk on account migration will never happen, and I don't really see an issue with that, since messages are not lost.

I don't think that's even desirable and also legally questionable. But anyways, these posts are not gone with an instance shutting down and thus I don't really see a problem. You can always add a link to a mirrow of those old posts in your profile.

Content is mirrored on all federated instances and it is very rare for an instance to shut down without notice.

It's super easy to migrate accounts on Mastodon. Even works fine to move an account from Mastodon to Akkoma for example.

Mbin is a fork that was startend to add some stuff the original Kbin dev didn't like. These days it seems Kbin is dead though, so basically Mbin is the new Kbin.

Lemmy.world used to cost that much, but I think they downscaled a bit recently, or are at least planning to as the current growth of the userbase has slowed down.

I was actually surprised by that 150 figure when I first read it, as it is much cheaper than what the BlueSky documentation makes it sound.

It is certainly possible to collect that much in monthly donations, but then again... how do you build a loyal base of supporters for running a mostly hidden piece of infrastructure? People always complain about the instance focussed nature of the fediverse, but the ability to build communities around them and get people actually emotionally invested in their home instance is IMHO rather a strength of it. That is also why I am slightly sceptic of easy account migration tools, as it devalues the instance as yourhome base to a certain extend.
