What are we back in the 60s?

One thing I can add, don’t let batteries completely die. If you leave them dead for a long time, the BMS which controls the battery loses power, and if that happens, many kinds of batteries and power stations become bricks that you cannot charge. You gotta take it apart and slowly charge and balance the cells to recover it.

If I discharge it now and again while using it as a UPS, I don’t think it would make that much of a difference. It would on average be full which is still stressful on the LifePO4 cells.

Keeping my computer powered with my power station is doable, and would protect my data from corruption, but the battery drains fast powering my PC, and if the power goes out while I am away or sleeping it’ll be depleted within a few hours. It also adds friction when I wanna use it for something else because I gotta power off my computer first.

For the size of the power station I’ve got, I think it is best used for DC powered devices, or small AC devices. I mainly use it for bedside power. I plug my personal devices into it, and they all charge at maximum speed. I cycle it and charge it when it needs it. This way it can be moved and used for anything without friction, and isn’t full 24/7.

The solar panel I have eases the idea of me forgetting to charge it and the lights going out after. The sun is an option in case that ever happens.

All devices are gonna end up in a landfill eventually. LifePO4 should last much longer though.

I do have a foldable 100W solar panel for it. Unfortunately the battery degradation is real. On one hand, having your computer on backup is nice, but that battery will remain plugged in and full 24/7 which will degrade it with time.

I’m on the fence about using it as a UPS long term for this reason.

Governments don’t represent the common people anymore.

We are we are Walmart!

I use Immich which uploads and stores my photos and videos on my PC. The app needs a server that you gotta host yourself though.

Regulators are gonna have a feast with this.

I genuinely didn’t back then. I saw it as a waste of time. I only saw it as bitching on twitter, you could argue with rational arguments all you want, but you’d never change anyones mind. Odds are you are reasoning with a bot or a troll. I made the incorrect assumption that if a president ever strayed too far, he’d be stopped.

Politics is an endless fire that fuels itself and burns forever, if I can stay away from it I will, but in the times of today, that’s not really an option anymore.

It’s not very diverse at the surface level, but go deeper into the Fediverse and you’ll find some real crazy shit.

I don’t intend on cutting Google from my life, but I want the option to, and I want boundaries with Google. I felt as if I didn’t install GrapheneOS, I’d lose the ability to in the future. Google could easily roll out an update locking the bootloader, so I felt like doddling with it was a risky move.

So far it is good, I am still exploring what I can do with GrapheneOS. It’s bare bones to start with, no included wallpapers so I have to fetch my own. RCS seemingly works after granting Google play to access my carrier or whatever, so that’s good.

Google wallet, I am not sure, but my banking app works.

Why aren’t we adding any safeguard to what commands AI models can use?

Detect is way too expensive because of the amount of unique visitors you get. When you federate and post, you’ll see your unique visitors climb fast.

Lemmy.ca gets it free I think because they are a non profit and deflect is being generous.

lmao

Netbird is an relay VPN at heart. The machines you connect called “peers” communicate with eachother like it’s one network. I could access my servers from anywhere else and it would connect provided I have the client on and connected.

When you register a peer by installing the client, the device gets a NetBird IP and domain that other peers in the network can access. The communication between the peers is end to end encrypted and if you access them with the provided Netbird IP or domain via HTTP, the packets in wireshark can not be read. From my testing it seems to be quite good.

The reverse proxy service feature is the way you can make something openly accessable without the end user needing to install a client. You specify the protocol, destination and port and you are set. The only downside is you need two domains, one for management and the other for proxying. You also need to set CNAME records right for the SSL certs to work.

My friend who has little self hosting experience was able to quickly get his Jellyfin up within a few minutes. NetBird deals with the cert for you in the background when you make the service. After a few seconds, the service is live and accessable

What a great ad for codeberg.
