Right!? How hard can it be?

What would you like to see in a house IT setup?

Currently remodeling a domicile, with the sweet and expensive ability to add anything I want within reason. I plan on modernizing the place to bring it into the 21st century because this house deserves it (just a great structure with lots of history and nearing it’s centennial birthday)....

I built a 24V DC power network in my server and office space two years ago, backed by a battery. The constant “UPS” is great, and its power efficient.

I’ve done this with debian in the past, you just install different DE in parallel. Works well enough, don’t remember it causing any issues. It just makes a mess of your home folder, so I don’t do it outside of testing purposes.

Ha! It’s funny because it’s true!

I haven’t seen this in any of the lists, but would it be possible to create a YouTube premium app without all the anti-consumer design. Like a fork of the official app where I’d be able to login, but not have all the bloat and just have search, subscriptions and playlists.

Wow, thank you! Don’t know how I could have missed YouTube Revanced, that’s exactly what I wanted!

Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?

the more i am delving into things, the dell documentations are saying that the two really aren’t compatible except for like an outdated version of ubuntu… I never even thought about this, but looking back in time, I’ve tried many distros and the all have had some sort of internal issues that I couldn’t figure out and had...

I sure hope so . I have a new XPS 13 9315 on the way!

I’ve been running a 2019 XPS 13 on Debian without any major issues, just sleep that has high battery drain. But I think that’s a common issue.

I actually built my own 2 kWh battery setup after finding available commercial UPS overpriced.

It took some work and cost me about 2000 euro, but now I run everything (including networking, servers and monitor) directly on a battery feed DC net in my house.

It’s pretty cool too have all IT equipment unaffected by a power outage.

It’s very homemade, but I believe it’s built like a DC net for a boat. It’s a bluetooth connected lithium battery, boat cabling and fuse boxes and Victron charger and voltage transformers.

I built it with “subnets” for different voltages. The battery is 24 V which feeds servers and a 34” monitor, then a transformer to 12 V for network gear, and several 5 V (USB) for a rack of raspberry pis. The is also a small 230 V transformer, for some gear that have built in PSU.

The largest server is fitted with a custom DC PSU I found on e-bay, others are normal external PSU where I cut the cables.

It’s not very cleanly built, and parts of it are hidden. But this shows the main parts.

The black UPS on the left is the old one, not in use anymore.

The silver inverter on the left feed a rail in my server rack.

On the right is the battery and charger, and in the middle the fuse box and transfomer.

Forgot to add that a big part of the setup is in the battery controller, which I built on my own. :) That was a very fun project, and now the battery is fully automatic and charging is based on hourly price and the power provided by my solar panels.

I don’t have a good link to share, but from the research I did the difference is huge.

LiFePO4 batteries have a higher capacity, longer lifetime, safer and higher power to weight density. Many come with built in communication, like my bluetooth connection.

They are also expensive, but for my use case it’s much cheaper over time. I use about half a charge per day, which this battery should be able to sustain for 5-10 years. A lead acid battery would probably last months.

Ship begins laying 440km cable to link world’s largest offshore wind farm to UK energy grid (eandt.theiet.org)

Ship begins laying 440km cable to link world’s largest offshore wind farm to UK energy grid::A massive cable linking what will become the UK’s biggest offshore wind farm with the mainland energy grid has started construction in the North Sea.

That ship is much larger than I expected for “just” laying cables. But then again, I have no idea how they do it…

I was hoping for more info in the article, so thanks!

Hollow Knight - 6 Years Later. [Ceave Perspective] [1h31m08s] (www.youtube.com)

Hollow Knight is an incredibly competent game on pretty much all fronts. In my opinion, Hollow Knight is a masterpiece and we will discuss all the things that make it so great in detail in this Hollow Knight retrospective. However - the one thing that I find most fascinating about Hollow Knight is an aspect of the game that is...

bia ,

I stumbled upon that area by accident. :)

bia ,

I picked this game up for vacation a couple weeks ago, after having it on my wishlist forever.

I don’t like bosses in games, and I’d say I still don’t. But this game has been great, the hype is certainly justified. And the bosses are annoying but hard and fun. The world building is fantastic, exploitation is fun and accessible. The kind of game that’s easy the learn and hard to master, and just keeps on giving.

I’ve been following the graphs here, and it’s sure seems to be declining. But I don’t know how accurate it is.
