And Edge is as open as a middle aged French whore, so you have to know it's a technical issue.

I don't mind the electric ones, but I had a neighbour that would fire up a two-stroke backpack monster at 6 AM any morning there was the barest skiff of snow. And he'd try for hours blowing heavier snow that he could have had shovelled in 15 minutes. He was generally just an asshole neighbour all around.

I can't describe how much that can go fuck itself.

The T-Pot installation needs at least 8-16 GB RAM, 128 GB free disk space

Good lord.

And fuck curl-bash script installers.

Jesus, I don't miss that shit. Now, it has to be something way the hell out in left field to not be picked up and installed silently. linux-firmware ftw

I've used it about as long, and I've never seen it as easy to maintain as the AIO container strategy they're on now. It's effortless, and after years of failed updates and rolling shit back via occ, it's night and day. Even NCPi wasn't as bulletproof.

Just use the docker AIO image.

This one? It was only started a couple years ago, I'm not even sure there's been multiple major version changes since it was put out and generally available.

I use the HACS integration in Home Assistant. Then I can build automation based on events to notify, restart VMs, etc.

"Nobody's going to jail for you" is pretty much the way to think about any cloud privacy service. They may not keep logs unless they're required to, but in the end, they will comply to stay in business.

Since KDE changed to dbl-click by default, the only thing I change is Numlock on boot. 10 seconds to fix, and I know it'll stay changed because KDE is allergic to removing user settings.

Look, we knew Fedora wasn't going to drop Gnome. Gnome is almost entirely a Redhat project, it's there for the paying corporate market so it doesn't confuse the drones by offering "choices", and Fedora is the proving ground of any changes that might affect said drones. I can't even argue with the logic.

Lots of Plasma-Fedora distros out there, like the spin and Nobara/bazzite that frankly are better starting places for most power users anyway, since you don't have to get around the repo/codec issues yourself.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Yah, that's what I meant by "the spin". Can't say I've used it recently, and I imagine it has the same lack of non-free repos as the parent, so the others are less trouble and work fine. Heck, Nobara's had V6 included for a few weeks now.

Since they say they're putting them out from 48V to 800V, 48V is what most inverter systems use, so I imagine they're targetting that size for "consumers" at the single-house PV system size. If the cycle counts and low temperature charging characteristics come true, they will be popular.

American manufacturers like this like to shoot themselves in the foot by pricing their new and innovative battery technology at the datacenter customer size, find out they have no market, use up all their capital, then sell the tech to a big Chinese company like BYD or CATL. So once they've complete this lifecycle, I'd expect a couple more years before they're readily available to actual consumers. Probably expect to see them then at about LFP prices, like $90/kWh wholesale price.

97% RTe from what I've heard.

https://www.faraday.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Faraday_Insights_11_FINAL.pdf (bottom of last column on page 3)

This article is saying 93% but I thought I'd seen 97 somewhere. Might have been marketing bullshit. Though this paper is 3 years old now, so there's been time for improvement. What hits the market right now may not be up to that number either, so I wouldn't disbelieve 65% either.

What's your issue with NC AIO? Maybe I can help, I've been running it since nearly inception.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

I'm not sure how well docker-in-docker would work via portainer. Maybe it does, I've not tried it.

I would just do it from a folder you set up yourself and drop the docker-compose.yml in it, and go. If you want to share your dockercompose I can see if I notice a problem. I remember having to get over a couple issues at the time, but it's been a while and can't remember them offhand.

I think NC is worth setting up, but YMMV.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

So, here's a thought. Instead of removing customization, people just, you know, not customize things. It's like going into the Settings page, except instead of doing that, you don't do that.

Problem solved.

porting Firefox directly to Wayland

I'm trying to understand what that even means.

I would posit to you that it is, in fact, the perfect amount of complicated. If I want to change something, I don't have to program and/or install an extension that will get blown up on the next release of the desktop environment because of the lack of fucks that Gnome gives for people that build extensions for it.

I will concede that it would nice to have dconf. But considering the amount of stuff that can be configured in stock Plasma, that might take a lot more than the 3 settings that Gnome allows you to change.

Here's my complete KDE post-install configuration procedure: go into Settings, search for "Numlock" and change it to "on at boot". It used to include changing Single Click - selects files, but that's the default now, as natural law would demand.

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites (www.theverge.com)

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...

1995-2010 were the halcyon days. I miss the shit out of the web back then. And I've been around long enough that I set up some of the first mail relays and usenet mirrors when I was a teen, besides having one of the largest BBSs in Canada.

They're set up in Nobara by default, haven't had to use them yet but every once in a while I see them in the journalctl and get a warm feeling.

I walked my 83 year old dad through a Linux Mint install on his laptop over the phone a few weeks ago when the Windows install shit the bed. All he needs is a browser, he's good now.

Get out of here with that "software engineering degree" BS.

No, because like 99% of people on this planet, he uses webmail, and I haven't seen audio fail out of the box on a Linux install in 15 years.

Will the AI not hang up on me when I ask it a question that's going to take a long time to resolve and fuck up it's service metrics?

Well, you knew that was coming from the licensing changes.
