There are a couple built-in ways you can translate, all of them fully local. First is the full page translation and another that allows you to translate a selection (from the context menu.) Fully local nature, of course, reduces the translation capabilities, but I found the quality to be good enough to very rarely need an external service.

Some parts of the website are explicitly login-only, yes. I sometimes tend to follow link to gh from my mail on phone where I'm not logged in and found that e.g. you can't see any CI results without logging in.

More renewables and batteries so that gas generators wouldn't have any leftover capacity to bid for.

I imagine Ubiquiti (unifi) is really happy with how this is going.

I was going to say that this is an unfortunate side-effect of how electricity is being priced in the market but I learned today that Iberian is not participating in the nordpool. Nordpool has this weird pricing model that pays every generator the price of the most expensive one that supplies the last watt of demand.

Regardless and despite this nordpool weirdness; with some rooftop & batteries I haven't been paying a cent for electricity outside of January so I don't need to care about prices in the market much at all.

I make a point to have my direct energy use be electric (e.g. for driving) so the recent jump in the pricing of molecules affects me relatively little. Unfortunately I don't have much say in indirect energy use (as used for food production) but I believe that people are rational and will figure they can do what I did sooner or later.

Senn HD 490 PRO is an amazing and extremely comfortable headphone that has very affordable 1st party replacement parts (pads, cables) to boot. These are the first ones I've been happy with from day one. But they are wired & open back.

The humanity has all the knowledge and tools it needs at this point to have anybody: individual persons, counties, countries, continents be much more self-sufficient in energy, in a way that makes economic (and all sorts of other) sense.

I am glad to personally be largely independent of molecule-sourced energy March to October. Hoping that the countries affected by oil instability take this as an opportunity to learn this lesson as well.

Air has no thermal connection to the chassis for the purpose of making it safe to have in contact with skin.

People have been modding theirs to make this contact, though. And been getting a significant performance boost out of it.

Doesn't YMTC focus on NAND (i.e. flash storage) rather than DRAM? Regardless, point stands.

CXMT (dram) and YMTC (nand).

MBP never goes into proper sleep.

I got one from work that I don't use much outside of travel and haven't changed in any way past initial setup. It stays connected to WiFi and continuously broadcasts various discovery packets for the past month and a half since I last opened it up.

Its weird to read about Schneider Electric not bothering with brand awareness. They aren't a household brand, sure, but they are well up there with Siemens and the like in industrial/b2b sector and their marketing budget is allocated accordingly.

This superloop pattern can also appear in more abstract scenarios as well.

The wildly popular ESPHome is also driven by a superloop. On every iteration the main loop will call an update handler for each component which then is supposed to check if the timers have elapsed, if there is some data coming from a sensor, etc before doing actual work.

This pattern brings with it loads of pitfalls. No component ought to do more than a "tick" worth of work or they can start interfering with other components who expect to be updated at some baseline frequency. Taking too long in any one component can result in serial buffers overrunning in another component, for example.

In my homelab I've been using very barebones options (the one built into systemd-networkd as well as the dhcp server built into RouterOS) and never found myself needing a web interface, a database or anything… really. It has been sufficient to add the couple dozen static allocations to the configuration files and forget DHCP exists. Even HA is not something I found myself wanting as nodes will retain their lease well over the period of downtime incurred during botched upgrades.

How fancy does a network needs to be before this starts making sense? Who are the target audience for this project?

I always buy the cheapest PWM fans available in a nearby store (so usually Arctic) and I never had one fan fail on me in my life.

They almost never run 100%, though, and I have a recurring task set up to clean dust outta my filters, computers and servers.
