I see you don't only want people to feel old but also experience existential crisis.

Yep, old ChatGPT was much more blunt and factual.

Don't really like the recent trend of every LLM talking to me like I'm in kindergarten.

Back feeding is legal here if it is connected to a micro inverter which can turn off immediately when disconnected and never outputs more than 800W.

ChatGPT won't humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

I don't know, being told what a good question that was and what a good boy I am everytime I ask a stupid question feels pretty humiliating.

(Still better than SO)

What GPU are we talking about?

Your kernel is defaulting to the radeon driver instead of amdgpu, depending on which generation your GPU belongs to, you can force the kernel to use amdgpu instead. It's considered unsupported but you're still going to be much better off running the much newer amdgpu, if your hardware is still capable of using it.

Balcony solar panels are dirt cheap, you can get them for 200-300€, including the micro inverter. You usually do not have batteries in these setups, you just use up the generated power while it is available by moving things like the dishwasher and dryer to that time.

To give some actual numbers, I pay 0.22€ per kWh right now. In the last 30 days (Apr 21 - May 20) the balcony solar panels generated 74.11kWh. The month was fairly average with an even mixture of sunny days and rainy days.

Assuming you can use up the 800W of peak power, you will have saved around 16€ in just those 30 days. I don't have full data for the year yet since I only got mine a few months back but my current estimation is that it will have paid for itself after 2-4 years.

The biggest advantage of balcony-mounted solar panels, at least where I live, is that you need 0 permits. You don't need to ask your neighbors, you don't need to ask your power company, you don't need a building permit, you don't need an electrician and you don't need a solar company to install them for you.

They don't replace large solar farms but if you incentivize people to DIY their solar installation you get tons of additional cheap and clean energy from a source that would be wasted otherwise.

Doom 2016 launched with a 44k player peak on Steam, Doom Eternal with a 100k peak and Doom: The Dark Ages only got a 30k peak.

Either most people play on Game Pass, think the game is too expensive, don't have raytracing compatible hardware or don't like Denuvo.

Whatever it is, the game doesn't seem to be doing so great.

If Doom Eternal is a rhythm game, what does that make Metal: Hellsinger aka "Doom but as a rhythm game"?

(really great game btw)

TIL that Bungie is releasing a new game.

Although judging by this news and the first sentence on their Steam page being "...Bungie’s team-based extraction shooter.", maybe it's a good thing I can't play their games.

I did something similar a while ago but for changing volume on a single application, should work for devices as well though since both are just nodes.

Try this:

#!/bin/sh

node_id=$(pw-dump | jq '.[] | select(.type == "PipeWire:Interface:Node" and .info.props."node.name" == "Virtual-Sink-1") | .id')

echo "Adjusting volume for $node_id"

wpctl set-volume $node_id 10%-

Replace Virtual-Sink-1 with the name of your audio device and 10%- with the operation you want to perform.

Any reviews/feedback from current Nextcloud users? I do plan to eventually self host but would start off using storage included in the plan

If my Nextcloud stops working I'm done for.

My calendars are in there, my todo list, my notes, my contacts, all my savegames, backups, documents, invoices, photos, videos, everything.

It's pretty heavy to host but it's worth it if you make full use of their entire suite.
