i like their goal for the software. i don’t know if lutris uses overlayfs already but that’s probably also something to look into, since each prefix is like a gigabyte before anything is added and most prefixes use the same dependencies.

well it’s his state media now so

yeah except the wrinkly old fuck is the one on the floor

the curve for someone coming from ubuntu is pretty much a wall.

oh, please do.

there’s only so much you can fit in an elevator pitch :P

you can use an anaerobic digestion system to generate about 100 liters of gas a day, given that you feed it around a liter of 50/50 food scraps and water slurry. you can heat a stirling engine with it to generate 2-300W or so.

it’s not risk free of course, biogas is explosive, but taking precautions can minimize it. produce and store outside, under low pressure, limit the volume, and use filters and flame arrestors.

this video is a good intro to the subject.

another interesting avenue if you have access to cheap wood is syngas. you can run clean syngas in a unmodified internal combustion engine, so the generator part is easy. clean gasification is the hard part, since you need to get rid of the tar and water content. using charcoal is the best method because all that gunk is already burned off. you put it in an airtight container with an inlet and an outlet, light it at the inlet, and pump in a controlled amount of air. the charcoal then goes through a redox reaction and produces syngas at the outlet.

a syngas generator can produce roughly 10x the energy of a biogas plant of the same size, but involves high temperatures and more preprocessing.

here’s a video on that too.

lastly, what’s more important to you? lowering your bills or being energy independent? my housing co-op has a deal with a local electricity company where they installed a load-following battery bank in our basement. it tracks the energy market so it can charge at night, be used by us during the day, and sell the surplus to the grid. it has lowered our energy bills by about a third. a lot less messy than the other two solutions, but also a lot less independent. doesn’t really matter for our situation, since we’re on district heating as well, but your situation may be different.

use compost to make biogas, use biogas to drive a heat engine generator.

oh i commented on voyager mobile so i didn’t see your display name in the op! hi angel! i’m glad you’re sticking around :)

trevligt!

i’d say using proprietary fonts is okay. the format itself is open, paying artists is always good, and there are some gorgeous fonts out there.

most fonts are very much not free, but in a “rights” sense rather than in a “standards” sense. since fonts are works of art rather than technical designs, open source licenses don’t really apply. when printing a book you typically select a font and buy a license for that font that only allows you to use it, not modify it.

in fact, most of the web is built with proprietary fonts that keep being used in spite of their licenses because the alternative would break everything.

most mod managers are for a single game.

but i guess the actual answer would be steam workshop.

Rule 1:

• Title must match the article headline

just use a make file like a civilised human being

why gitea instead of forgejo?

if it wasn’t for the webui, a bare git repo would suffice. any repo can be a remote. it’s distributed, after all.

forgejo is the most popular choice right now.

if you wanna be extra you can host git-pr

tr could definitely do some work here. maybe something like, echo each word and its translated counterpart, sort on first column, and then echo $col1 >> $col0 for each line? it’s a start at least
