Hey folks, just a reminder that I'm on mastodon (@ samuele963 @ https://t.co/DlZJ3Ak102) and cohost (@ samuele963)

I'm also continuing to post updates on my website (https://t.co/lDA2HJRUQD) - you can find my lastest updates on my electrical collection there

@MarketUrbanism @ChittiMarco Hopefully this was all explained clearly enough! Lmk if you have any questions

[samuele963 @tech963]

@MarketUrbanism @ChittiMarco Plus, since socket circuits use 120V, more of them are needed to avoid tripping a breaker
If you combine this with the last factor you can see why a household supply would be sized much larger than it really needs to be

@rail_away @slozeleznice @superalbs @Sustanceproject @CEI_Secretariat @seatsixtyone Wonderful article! Was lovely to chat with you!
The Opicina tramway is apparently gonna be reopened this year (test runs have already begun), though it terminates in the centre of Opicina, which is a 15min walk away from the station

[Rail-Away @rail_away]

Arrived in Rijeka 🇭🇷. It’s been a great trip onboard the inaugural train from Villa Opicina 🇮🇹.

It’s a great service, I hope it will be a success!

Thanks for the invite @slozeleznice! Good to meet @superalbs and @tech963 also. 😀

@GarethDennis Gotta love those old DMUs! They were made by Fiat in the 70s, essentially identical to the Italian ALn668, and later had their chassis swapped (which is why they look so different from their Italian counterparts nowadays)

[samuele963 @tech963]

@GarethDennis Damn, you should have told me you were in the area! :P
Can confirm, the bridge is wonderful

[samuele963 @tech963]

@GarethDennis @RailNatter If you want to try a heritage train there's one running from/to Trieste this sunday, though! With a 1930s electric loco and matching coaches. Should be within daytrip distance of where you are staying

[samuele963 @tech963]

@GarethDennis @RailNatter Afaik the steam trains aren't running, I talked to one of the people organising heritage train runs and apparently there are some problems with the Slovenian steam locos. But normal regionals are running (with Fiat DMUs from the 70s) and the views are wonderful

[samuele963 @tech963]

@GarethDennis @RailNatter Ooh, which one? The Transalpina/Bohinjska line is the one I was thinking of, it's open (went on it 2 weeks ago to catch a EuroCity to Germany) but with a bus substitution for just a few km

@ChittiMarco Mi sono sempre chiesto come mai sulla linea Pontebbana siano in uso i pali delle linee AV...

Presenting MkLinux Developer Release 1 (May 1996) for Apple Power Macintosh! 💿🐧

I spent good money on eBay so I could archive this historic disc. So fire up that Power Mac 6100! 🔥
