it’s a stupid metric tbh, the fuel is just what goes into (coal/gas) power plants, cars and planes to make them move, if you reduce the demand for those things naturally the demand for coal/gas/oil etc will go down

so UK regulators could absolutely help clean them up and make a massive difference.

They are :)

The government announced that the plan, published on Wednesday, will focus on funding solar panels, heat pumps and batteries for households across the UK via low-interest loans and grants.

All of these reduce demand for coal and gas, they also make having an EV more viable as cheaper power prices make running an EV even cheaper than it already is

rspamd

i did the google take out and then just a regular drag and drop, everything went fine but all my screenshots had no dates in the metadata by the looks so it put them all on a single date which caused immich to stop loading properly

just once it did I went through and deleted all my old screenshots and now it’s all good again :)

afaik MariaDB is the open source version of MySQL

their inflation is already out of control as well

how is this world news?

lmao the lemmy replies showing exactly why no one has declared it war, literally no one gives a shit about an oppressive dictator who clung to power using the military post being voted out

if we lose ukraine and taiwan that’s two more countries going back towards tbh straight under dictatorship rule, 2 losses for the west and democracy

i don’t understand why europe is being so quiet on taiwan, i can only assume they want to keep the good times coming with cheap chinese goods

??? who are you?

they are pumping out propaganda hard right now, it’s everywhere

China is hypocritical as FUCK

They take Tibet, they take Hong Kong despite practically the entire island coming out to say no thanks, they threaten Taiwan every second day, and the only reason they haven’t taken Taiwan is because they wouldn’t have been able to hold it against the west

Now they see how weak Europe is and the nutter in command of the US, and their plans have accelerated, this is simply an opportunity to further push propaganda on something they were always going to do

On top of that I actually wouldn’t mind if we had a judge that aligns closer to American/Western values

China is literally right next to the totalitarian dystopian hellscape that is North Korea

Executions for watching south korean tv, 3 generations of jail as punishment for committing crimes

i would have no problems if even china which is not great even by itself could bring some sense to north korea

yeah, I don’t know where all these experts have been for the last 50 to 70? years of “rule based order”, when they say rule based order do they mean the US makes the rules and everyone else plays along? in that case how is this any different

In terms of heat, what kind of room do you have it in? Somewhere with good natural airflow, or away in a closet somewhere?

Just on floor in garage upside down so the laptop air vents face up, nothing special at all but main thing not in my office heating up the joint 🥲

how lucky you are that since 2016 you’ve somehow avoided hearing trump speak

I actually wonder if RISC-V might overtake ARM in the linux world, the chinese are throwing a lot at it and I’ve seen very little out of ARM, I expected Linux to go the way of Apple where x86 is phased out and ARM is phased in because who wouldn’t like a lower power, cheaper CPU? or like wayland overtaking X.org but I just don’t see any great leap by desktops or laptops towards it, x86 has remained solidly in place outside of Pi like devices

Unfortunately I made the mistake of not backing it up, and when the external drive died I lost my data

😢 yeah good point, I’ll look at getting it to backup my main 2tb

You’re based in Brissy or further north in Qld, right? What kind of thermals does your system have, and what’s the room it lives in like?

Logan city! Was going to take a picture but it’s just a bunch of cables running along the side of my garage, the NBN conveniently comes into it far away from everything (I assume the only other front of house option (the kitchen) was out of consideration) can’t really say what temperature, it would def be mostly ambient temperature with a bit of extra heat coming from the solar battery when it’s charging but for the most part prob ambient outside temp

The laptop itself looks to sit around 50 degrees most of the time but this is pretty low power:

afaik the temperature being hot isn’t an issue, computer components (and most components in most things) prefer a stable high temperature 24x7 over going cold then hot all the time.

I think a mini-pc is a pretty solid choice regardless, I’ve had a 1ru rack server that was loud as fuck, fkin like 10 40mm fans! absolutely not worth it, and have friends who keep their servers/even old desktop PC’s running 24x7 in their bedrooms, these things are heat generators and in brissie if you don’t have a good aircon/airflow your room will got hot as shit and the fans will increase in speed so it’ll be either noisy and hot or both

100%, thinkcentres are the most well supported of the major brands iirc

the battery is a nice little in built UPS feature, bit underrated if you get a second hand laptop with a working battery

So after months of dealing with problems trying to get the stuff I want to host working on my Raspberry Pi and Synology

I take it ARM still not there package wise? Sucks to hear, I was really hoping we’d be further along by now

i just use a second hand laptop I got from “hock and go” down on gold coast, it has an ethernet port :O AMD stuff, I always generally stick with AMD for graphics as a lot of people complain about nvidia on linux, when I was in the store looking at them all did some pretty extensive searching on network driver compatibility, it has been a complete bitch in the past to deal with (ESPECIALLY wifi drivers), it seems to be a bit better these days

got it home, stuck a 2tb sata ssd in it, installed just regular ubuntu 24.04 lts, works well, i have the desktop version installed but 99% of the time I’m just sshing in

use it for immich and qbittorrent and a few other things

Works well enough for me, even though this might be the highest idle cpu usage I’ve ever seen (it’s not a fast cpu):

My other servers are idling at like 0.1:

But I haven’t noticed any issues outside of immich taking longer if I go like, recheck all photos or starting up services, not a problem for me

After breaking through, the activists entered the facility. Inside, they used tools including sledgehammers, crowbars and fire extinguishers filled with red paint to vandalise equipment, walls, and floors. According to the prosecution at their later trial, they damaged drones, technical systems and other sensitive materials, and sprayed red paint to symbolise “blood.”[2] It’s estimated over £1 million in damages were caused to the facility.

During the break-in, there was a violent confrontation between the activists and responding security staff and police. Bodycam and CCTV footage shown at trial allegedly depicts one of the activists striking Police Sergeant Kate Evans with a sledgehammer while she was on the ground, causing serious injury. The defendant, a then 23-year-old man, is charged with grievous bodily harm. Other police officers reported being threatened and, in one account, having a hammer swung at them.

tbf they got a pretty weak lineup iirc

I built my PC with m.2 back in 2019, hasn’t SATA been moved on?

He points out that roughly 20% of Amazon’s top SSD bestsellers are still SATA-based, with Samsung drives making up a notable portion of that list

yeah 80% of market is not SATA
