I’m not really sure what they’re offering that Heroic Games Launcher, Lutris and Bottles aren’t already offering for free?

Just download digital copies of the textbooks and say you need them as training material for your own AI dataset when the copyright holders come after you.

Seems to be smaller harps with some range available at least.
This one is g below middle c to triple d:

The following numeric meta fields can be used with comparisons <, <=, >, >=, = (equals), != (not equals):

filesize: The number of bytes, if known in advance
filesize_approx: An estimate for the number of bytes
width: Width of the video, if known
height: Height of the video, if known
aspect_ratio: Aspect ratio of the video, if known

So a height<=1080 should be it.

That’s partly why I recommend an integrated N100, it’s a 6W, 4 core cpu:

HDDs at 16TB goes for 5-6W in idle and around 10W when in use, but that’s the same whether it’s diy or not.

While their latest adventures into trying to force people into buying their branded hdds sucks I must say I really enjoy using Synology NAS as a storage location and their Hyper Backup software works great with rotating usb drives (setup one task per disk and disable notifications on the task if the usb drive is disconnected).
I found a Synology became a lot more responsive when I installed an extra 16GB of RAM (Crucial 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 SODIMM CT16G4SFRA32A works in both Synology DS224+ and DS443+)

If I were to build a new storage solution at home today I would look at ZFS-1 and 5 large HDDs (probably 16TB drives)

I’d put it in a Jonsbo N2 or similar case and combine it with an M-ITX Intel N100 integrated motherboard and a PCIe SATA Expansion Card.
Then I would continue to run two devices and have most services run on another device using the Jonsbo N2 primarily as a storage device. If you don’t need to transcode 4k Blu-Ray or something then the N100 is fully capable of hosting a Jellyfin server.

With the new sustainability laws in EU they have to offer 5 years of updates from the sale of their last unit.

The Ecodesign Regulation lays out minimum requirements for mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets to be sold on the EU market to ensure

• greater resistance to drops, scratches, dust and water
• use of more durable batteries, capable of at least 800 charge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their initial capacity
• clear rules on disassembly and repair, requiring manufacturers to supply key spare parts within 5-10 working days, and for at least 7 years after the product model is no longer sold in the EU
• longer availability of operating system updates, at least 5 years from the date the last unit model is sold
• fair access for professional repairers to the software or firmware needed for repairs

They mention standardisations and cost savings in their paper, as well as solving the heat load per cell problem by decreasing cell size. They also mention that there’s been a lot of micro-CPV module designs but that they haven’t been scaled up. Some quotes below:

Various researchers and developers have been exploring different micro-CPV module designs [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Most approaches have been tested on small prototypes or minimodules, while fewer have been realized with aperture areas (Aap) above 200 and 800 cm2,[…]

By decreasing the sizes of the primary optics and the solar cells, the heat load per cell is minimized. This reduction allows for sufficient heat spreading via the circuit board, enabling the direct assembly of solar cells onto the circuit board on glass.

At Fraunhofer ISE, we have developed a micro-CPV module concept [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], which is based on parallelized manufacturing processes and commercially available components.

The final module features a panel size of 24” × 18”, which is a standard in the microelectronics industry, facilitating machine adaption without necessitating special adjustments.

What are concentrating photovoltaics? One of the ways to increase the output from the photovoltaic systems is to supply concentrated light onto the PV cells. This can be done by using optical light collectors, such as lenses or mirrors. The PV systems that use concentrated light are called concentrating photovoltaics (CPV). The CPV collect light from a larger area and concentrate it to a smaller area solar cell. This is illustrated in Figure 5.1.

Also, from the article - 33.6% efficiency in real-world conditions:

A 60 cell-lens prototype was studied for a year. In “real-world” conditions, CPVs achieved up to 33.6% efficiency. The 36% mark was posted at 167 degrees Fahrenheit. The prototype showed no signs of degradation, according to IE.

lemmy doesn’t have it yet but piefed does.
You can access lemmy from piefed so by moving there you can do it.

I’ve had smooth sailing both with Fedora GNOME and Fedora KDE. And it’s another “common choice” with good enterprise support thanks to Red Hat, just like Ubuntu and all their baby distros.

Yeah, if the user can’t verify the truthfulness of the LLM generated text then it has no use as it can’t be trusted.
I’d say the thing LLM is best at for me is giving me a starting point, in the same way that it is easier to fix someone else’s writing than it is to write something from a blank slate. Oh and copilot is generally up to date on where in Microsoft 365 Admin you find an option right now, compared to all the outdated official and unofficial guides out there.

Why use apps instead of a browser and why hop?
There are still fully functioning phpbb forums out there if forums are your thing, not to mention that the fediverse can just be forked and remain in existence if someone tries to steal it.

Nowa Huta: The city that went from communism to capitalism
Once a failed post-WW2 utopia, Krakow’s Nowa Huta neighbourhood has found a new lease on life and is slowly emerging as a tourist destination.

Might wanna look at njal.la
Unless you’re planning on distributing cp or anything like that it should give you the layer of privacy you want.

… are the wedges the only non fried food in this picture?

How about boiling them tatoes?

Or simply pan fry them with some butter?

Anyways; 1. Wedges, 2. Waffles, 3. Shoestring with surprise sweet potatoes > The rest.

Many comms moved to piefed, are they counted in that graph?

Just something to consider as you’re thinking about using a virtual machine for windows; you have enough RAM to comfortably run a linux host with Windows 11 + Debian Stable VMs for work + work db server.
I’m allergic to mixing private stuff with work stuff and there’s a great thing to be able to shut work down at the end of the day. (Freeing up all your hardware for your private fun at the same time)
