• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?

Hardware should lead. It’s easier to upgrade the software to make the hardware work, then it is to upgrade the hardware when the software decides to support it.

This isn’t Indian, it’s Thai- they are known for their insane ads.

Is there a file size limit?

Got a link? I find it hard to believe that a process like that would stop because of a few windows machines not booting.

At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

Got a link for that podcast?

I think I’m out of the loop here.

I’m playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can’t ignore the current dissonance.

I’m playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

I’ve ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I’m not sure where I want to take this thing.

Fuck, I love this game.

Is there another sub for non-meme ttrpg discussion?

I’ll say it here regardless - Feng Shui is my favourite system that’s not Blades or DnD or derivates.

The whole premise is based around Hong Kong style action flicks. Most enemies have one hit point. If you hit, they go down. If you describe your action well, you get a bonus- instead of saying “I kick the guy”, players are encouraged to say “I leap from the balcony, swing from the tapestry, and fly-kick the guy in the head”. The setting includes four distinct time periods, so you can travel from a cyberpunk future to a colonial history between sessions. It’s fast, it lends itself to simple plots, and it’s fun to be awesome.

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

I’ve got the R3, love it.

Looking at that, I reckon it’s easier just to pay for all the streaming services.

At this point, it’s easier to just pay for all of the streaming services.

Have a look at the Bananapi options, especially the R3. (Or the R2, it’s a bit more mature)

It’s a very capable single board computer with onboard managed switch, including SFP cages. If you want, you can buy antennas and utilise the wifi 6, or get a dedicated access point.

PFsense, openwrt, et al all have images. I think some people also run the mikrotik OS on it. It’s powerful enough to run as a hypervisor so you can chop and change between all of these if you want.

It gets bonus points for accepting 5G modems for failover.
