  • Yeah, solar + wind + highly connected grids can go a long way to balance loads and make up for the intermittent nature of wind and solar.

  • I know it's not ideal, but a bar chart design could either focus on the difference over time for each source, or the difference between sources at each time. This plot gives a good representation of both the differences between sources and the change in time for each source. It really drives home how far solar prices have fallen relative to other sources and in absolute terms.

  • If you want to test what your equipment is doing to your latency, connect your pc directly to your landlord's router, run latency tests multiple times, then set everything up as you normally would and run the same tests again. Some recommended tests for different situations would be fast.com for netflix/video streaming performance, and https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat for bufferbloat. Other things you'll want to check for gaming performance are double-NAT and ping tests for the online games you tend to play.

  • With antennapod? Or just with the gpodder app?

  • I run gPodder sync via Nextcloud with the AntennaPod Google play store edition (also on grapheneOS) and AntennaPod on my Nvidia Shield. It's my understanding that the gPodder protocol does not sync episode progress or your queue. Because of that, I stopped using multiple devices and just use my phone and cast to my Shield (the play store version has google cast functionality).

    The AntennaPod devs are working with others to put together a replacement for gPodder, and I'm excited for it. https://openpodcastapi.org/index.html

  • I use a 2013 macbook air for almost this exact use case. Ask friends and family if they have any old laptops lying around.

  • Always online single-player is the dumbest thing. It's disgusting.

  • Sorry, he wrote all these? Or did he just own lots of stock in a company that hired engineers who made these things?

  • That's great! Glad it's working out.

  • Discord is fine right now, but at any point it can decide to destroy what makes it good, and many communities will stick with it through inertia. I'd recommend setting up matrix with a discord bridge for the communities you don't have control over, while trying to convince admins to switch to matrix when you can. Having a matrix account/server will also be helpful if you decide to join one of the many foss projects that uses matrix for their communications.

  • everything from rearranging the keys (for instance I use vim, so I swap esc and capslock), to changing tap and hold behaviors (my capslock key does esc on tap and ctrl on hold), to really elaborate stuff like tap dances (https://thomasbaart.nl/2018/12/13/qmk-basics-tap-dance/), all while being configured directly on the firmware of the keyboard, so it just works no matter what computer it's plugged into, and it doesn't have any weirdness that comes with software remapping tools.

  • This has a lot of tight tolerances and lots of little things that have to go just right. Start with simple projects like brackets for things or raspberry pi enclosures. Look at printables.com or one of the other sites for inspiration.

  • If you're new to 3D printing, this is not a good first project. Buy the kit from them. It will be cheaper to do that then to buy each necessary component in bulk and make everything from scratch.

  • I have a pair. They're really cool, but I haven't found a use case for them. They're open-back, so I can't use them when I'm working in public spaces. They require their own USB DAC/AMP, so I can't use them in my analog chain at either my desktop or home theater. And the DAC/AMP requires too much power to use them with my phone, so I can't use them while walking around. The only time I use them is when I'm working from home and for some reason I want to use my laptop in bed or in the living room instead of my desktop, which is rare.

  • Its just showing you youtube recommendations, I think

  • I've had my TP-Link Omada server go down and I still had WiFi. I would guess that auto AP roaming might not function correctly, but I'm not sure.

    I use TP-Link AXE5400 Pros. They're a pretty great bang for the buck. The only downsides are that they don't allow for separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs, and they aren't PoE powered.

  • I'd recommend that you use other services for comics, ebooks, and audiobooks instead of preferring a monolithic service to handle everything. Calibre, Calibre Web, and Audiobookshelf are great places to start.
