Sodium ion batteries are going to be the solution. 18650 packs are already out and perform economically. Since the molecules are so much bigger, energy density is only like 60% of lithium based solutions, but they have a very wide temperature range and are incredibly more inert and safe and density isn't a problem for bulk energy storage.
The hurdle to overcome in inverters dealing with the very wide voltage span and bespoke charging ICs, but definitely possible and within 5 years will probably become a lithium iron phosphate competitor.
The shed as an of site backup is a good idea.
We live in the shed (it is really its own entire stone building) during our full house renovation, so I have already run electrical and cat6a to the shed and have an old router in AP mode there.
Hooking up one of those NAS boards or a 2nd hand old PC there would be a good backup option.
Wolfram alpha suddenly makes even less sense
That is true, but for embedded development it sucks because of specialty drivers, access to dbus, udev rules, etc... And distrobox with vscodium or code oss has some big big slowdowns that I can't figure out.
Saleae software simply won't work consistently in distrobox, for example. Luckily they have an app image so I could just install it there and set a few settings and now it works well. Sigrok Pulseview is better but needs a few not-dependency packages to work around it.
There is some weirdness to atomic distros and bazzite, but I am pretty happy with it!
Sorry but YouTube is such a wealth of tutorial information that quitting it cuts you off from huge amounts of info that you (nowadays) can't really find through search engines.
Tutorials for self-hosting, embedded development, analog design, gardening tutorials, etc...
A lot of these you literally cannot find online anywhere except for tiny bits and pieces through forum posts that take hours just to put them all together. Most blog posts nowadays are so horribly written on technical subjects and leave so much out as "implicit knowledge" that they are mostly unusable except by people who are already experts, which negates the point. (Shout out to gamersnexus which has a fast, no-ad website with all of the results from their lab testing on their with text write-ups and charts)
YouTube is expensive as all fuck to run. This is why alternatives will never take off unless they have a solid monetization model (e.g. floatplane). Sorry, but people on home internet with 100 down and 30 up aren't going to be able to host peertube nodes and stream 4k video to more than a couple people. Text and music work well decentralized, but people start to become a lot less able to contribute when hosting costs become hundreds per month and their home internet is saturated and barely usable instead of single digits with light traffic. This isn't even mentioning content creators' monetization.
Yeah, I have that set that via set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON) but no compile_commands.json are actually output, sadly.
I use bazzite on my desktop.
The problem with the set it and forget it nature is that when updates stop working, it "forgets" to tell you.
If you layer any packages, you will run into this, but even without package layering, there have been a number of bugs reported recently about this.
I have auto updates and notifications on (and I switched them off and on again and verified the settings) and haven't gotten a single update notification for months even though I can update manually successfully.
I am trying to figure out how to get zephyr, platformio, and nrfconnect to work with clangd.
Platformio screams every second because Microsoft's tooling is a dependency.
Zephyr and nrfconnect work for many things, but things like including drivers from zephyr/drivers doesn't autofill which is annoying if you are searching for a driver that might exist in nrfconnect or might not because there are some differences. It also doesn't autofill macros and device tree defines.
If anyone has a good guide on how to set up clangd for zephyr, I would appreciate it!
Do you happen to know when the last time was that a rich company was prosecuted for this?
It seems a lot like the perjury laws: there to scare poor people into telling the truth because of almost non-existant prosecution of it.
And if it is a fine and not jail time (white collar crimes are almost never jail time) the fine would have to be much larger than the penalties they would not have to pay because of the crime, otherwise it is simply a net win for the company
You can also try out photoprism for that. Immich is best for an all-in-one solution as a replacement for google photos.
Photoprism also has face recognition, maps, and many more features geared towards photography than immich.
I realized after using photoprism that I am too basic for that haha
I don't understand the usecase for tuta and proton. Their "automatic encryption" only works for people also with those providers if I am not mistaken, otherwise it just uses the same method as PGP (password that you have to send the recipient).
It seems to me that for 99.9% of emails going through the account, it is not any more secure that other providers like mailbox, posteo, nubo, etc...
Maybe I am understanding them incorrectly though.
