I can't wait for this. I've gone down a few rabbit holes looking into solar and battery storage, and even just battery storage by itself to replace the generator we have for when power is out and/or to offset peak use time rates. But batteries are really expensive and I've already got a hundred kilowatt hours sitting in my garage.

I'm not sure what you mean by cost-effective resources, are you wondering what things are worth investing into inside of a total budget versus which things you could be more frugal on? Overall I would say there's not a big difference in terms of what to consider differently from running Windows: Linux will benefit just as much from good hardware (maybe more?) as window as will.

If you want to do plex and utilize hardware video transcoding you'll probably want an Nvidia GPU but I've had better experiences with AMD graphics cards in Linux. The best home management tool I can recommend is home assistant, and it doesn't have particularly high system requirements, you can run it on a raspberry pi.

Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.

It looks like they've changed the way they do it a bit they now have these (this is light to med, there's another one for med-dark roast): https://happymugcoffee.com/products/roasters-choice-a

I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I'm very happy with it.

I don't know about natively, but I've played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it's been a little bit.

From the downvotes it seems like many people might be this:

It's an XWing! 👍

Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money's worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I'm happy with it.

Just out of curiosity, since I'm also considering bonds, what is "close to retirement" enough to consider non insignificant bod allocation?

hm, I'm not sure I know :) not really into jump scares, but do often love kitchy B horror. I also love scifi so blends of the two are good. Overall, I'll take any suggestions for what you've liked on the platform!

Thanks for the input! I've been thinking that'd I'd probably just stick to index funds and avoid (for now) individual companies. My financial advisor does do individual companies (to fit the allocation targets), and does do tax loss harvesting, but I think that might be a bit complicated for my initial attempts.

I had thought about doing something like S&P 500 fund + some set of small and medium cap index funds, rather than trying to identify individual companies that fit into "large/mid/small cap & industry spread", but even in those broad realms there's lots of "index 500" funds and lots of "medium/small cap" index funds, how do I figure out which ones to buy and how to compare them?

Any other recommendations for what to watch on Shudder?

I'm confused. In the 5% bracket, a $16k tuition: this comes out to like a 900k/year job...is that where the top 5% is?

I would love a suggestion for a ups that could tolerate running off my generator when the power is out for extended periods, anyone have a decently priced recommendation?

I don't think that's a bad extension of the analogy

Yeah, I have one of those and love it. I use it between PC, SteamDeck and Switch all the time

I use cloud flare DNS and it has support for dynamic IPs, my current setup is through a plug-in in my PFSense router

On macos it does

I want to preface this by saying that I really don't know anything about Lemmy, but I can see where subscriptions are managed by the subscribers servers in a federated situation: the community's server might not even know who is subscribed to it since the subscribers server might be responsible for pulling data.

But any individual subscribers server would know about other users on that server that are subscribed to that community

While it's running, have you checked docker stats to see how much memory/cou the container is using? What's the host, what're it's total resources and what are you using to run the vm?

Paperless-ng (or ngx, but I don't run that flavor)

I'm not opposed to operators trying to make money, if some server brings some feature that I find valuable, I won't begrudge them trying to make money off it. I think the hopeful thing with federation is that when one feels that an individual server is being abusive or doesn't like their monetization approach or is unhappy for some other reason they have the choice to go elsewhere. Competition is good.

This is a struggle. I've found it helpful to use skip-level 1:1's to discuss this topic, and make sure my skip level knows ahead of time (and on an ongoing basis) that building this map (and helping to guide others through it) is a priority of mine so they can prepare at their level to provide information that I might be missing.

It's also a great opportunity to provide that same skip-level with the perspective from the engineers in the organization on the "flip side' of that coin. You're facilitating communication and alignment in both directions.

I've been using solargraph with some success in a rather large project. I hear there are other ruby Language Server Protocol implementations but I haven't tried them.

love this approach and it's what I usually use. I also don't rebase after opening a PR (GitHub) because force pushing ruins reviewer context in the GH UI. so after the PR is open I merge main/master in instead of rebasing.

Started up No Man's Sky for the first time basically since it first launched and am having fun so far!

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Right now our guidance is that each developer is given a namespace and a helm chart to install and the wording is such that developers wouldn't think of it as an ephemeral resource (ie. people have their helm installation up for months, and periodically upgrade it).

It would be nice to have user's do a fresh install each time they "start" working, and have some way to automatically remove helm installations after a time period, but we do have times where it's nice to have a longer-lived env because you'd working within some accumulated state.

Maybe there's something to automatically scaling down workloads on a cadence or after a certain time period, but it would be challenging to figure out the triggers for that.

Others have said it already, but I love my Framework laptop. I have one of the first gen ones, running Ubunut, and I'm looking forward to upgrading it to the new AMD motherboard they're releasing later this year. The fact that they have upgrade paths for their laptops is amazing.
