Thanks!

Steam does as well.

I found out recently that KDE has a “Focus stealing prevention” in their settings and it has been glorious.

Maybe Games on Whales is for you? https://games-on-whales.github.io/

Besides modifying the file, mpv can also automatically crop the videos with their autocrop script while playing: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autocrop.lua

I use it for playing 21:9 content inside a 16:9 video file on a 21:9 screen.

Yep, old ChatGPT was much more blunt and factual.

Don’t really like the recent trend of every LLM talking to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Back feeding is legal here if it is connected to a micro inverter which can turn off immediately when disconnected and never outputs more than 800W.

ChatGPT won’t humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

I don’t know, being told what a good question that was and what a good boy I am everytime I ask a stupid question feels pretty humiliating.

(Still better than SO)

Balcony solar panels are dirt cheap, you can get them for 200-300€, including the micro inverter. You usually do not have batteries in these setups, you just use up the generated power while it is available by moving things like the dishwasher and dryer to that time.

To give some actual numbers, I pay 0.22€ per kWh right now. In the last 30 days (Apr 21 - May 20) the balcony solar panels generated 74.11kWh. The month was fairly average with an even mixture of sunny days and rainy days.

Assuming you can use up the 800W of peak power, you will have saved around 16€ in just those 30 days. I don’t have full data for the year yet since I only got mine a few months back but my current estimation is that it will have paid for itself after 2-4 years.

The biggest advantage of balcony-mounted solar panels, at least where I live, is that you need 0 permits. You don’t need to ask your neighbors, you don’t need to ask your power company, you don’t need a building permit, you don’t need an electrician and you don’t need a solar company to install them for you.

They don’t replace large solar farms but if you incentivize people to DIY their solar installation you get tons of additional cheap and clean energy from a source that would be wasted otherwise.

I “vibe code” anything that is throwaway.

Same here. It’s surprisingly easy to get quick results with a few prompts for one-time scripts without putting any effort in.

Why not run the image registry on the Raspberry Pi itself? Then you can do your builds on your regular machine and push them to your Raspberry Pi when done.

Any reviews/feedback from current Nextcloud users? I do plan to eventually self host but would start off using storage included in the plan

If my Nextcloud stops working I’m done for.

My calendars are in there, my todo list, my notes, my contacts, all my savegames, backups, documents, invoices, photos, videos, everything.

It’s pretty heavy to host but it’s worth it if you make full use of their entire suite.

I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as “Full ASS”.

Intel has already deployed a fix for this in the 13th and 14th gen by permanently damaging the chip and crashing. Checkmate hackers.

Do you happen to know if you still need the HDR layer when using Wayland directly? I know gamescope didn’t require it for a while now but I never saw anything about it for Wine.
