According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.

How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?

Holy! Shit!

I read this as “We’re not competitive on a global market anymore, so let’s retreat into an shrinking niche, until we’re gone or someone buys us”.

Sure, they can’t compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication… Oh, wait… those are US car makers. They wouldn’t know quality if it smacked them in the face.

Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.

Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia’s defenses are

Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m^2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m^2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That’s just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.

My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.

I was wrong in one thing, it hasn’t been a thing for 10 years, but for 20. It was determined by the Minister of Justice, based on article 55 of the Consumer Protection Code. More here. I remember seeing some warnings on labels back when the rule was new. My opinion is that companies got smarter and realized that those warnings were damaging to their brands, so they just stopped with the practice of shrinking products, which is why you never noticed.

This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they’re enforced successfully.

It’s very easy to screw up distilation. If the temperture is not carefully controlled and you miss the points to discard the head and tails, you end up with lighter (like methanol) and heavier (like propanol or butanol) alcohols, all of them much more toxic than good old ethanol.

I’m waiting for the Contacts manager. Untill then I’ll keep using the last “good” (pre-sale) version of Simple Contacts.

But don’t worry, take your time.

Thanks for the explanation, I learned something new today.

That’s because it detonated in orbit, so it interacted with Earth magnetic field. Far from the planet, I think there wouldn’t be an EMP, unless the targeted ship has it’s own magnetosphere. But I’m not a nuclear physicist, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Even if it was fully operational, Western artillery used by Ukraine is more precise with longer range than Russian, so they can target the ruskies with less risk.

To give you an idea how poor this makes them, the largest municipality in my country, São Paulo, has a GDP of $170B. Yes, that’s right, one city in Brazil has more than 3X North Korea’s GDP.

Hell, Microsoft paid more than that for ActiBlizzard… North Korea is pathetic, the only reason it still exists is China, that wants them there as a buffer between them and US allies South Korea and Japan.

That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.

It’s clear the original was made before all those sites enshittified into their current forms. That’s why it mentions Vine instead of TikTok, which is notable for having been enshittified from day 1.

You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:

• You expose the port used by the backend/API with a “ports:” setting on the compose file
• Expose the socket used by the ytproxy container using a volume that points to a directory in the host

You’ll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.

TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.

Those look nice. I don’t need a dedicated desktop client, since I always have Firefox open anyways, but I’ll give Libretube a try on my phone. Bonus, Libretube’s Mastodon account is on the same instance that I use :-)

Games from my childhood. Moon Patrol, Galaga, Zaxxon, Twin Bee, Xevious, Gradius, etc.

Yup. I’m that old.

Since this is /c/selfhosted, it would be a good idea to add “HA - HomeAssistant, a popular automation software” to the list. Another one id “LXC - Linux Containers”

Can’t say anything about CUDA because I don’t have Nvidia cards nor do I work with AI stuff, but I was able to pass the built-in GPU on my Ryzen 2600G to the Jellyfin container so it could do hardware transcoding of videos.

You need the drivers for the GPU installed on the host OS, then link the devices on /dev to the container. For AMD this is easy, bc the drivers are open source and included in the distro (Proxmox is Debian based), for Nvidia you’d have to deal with the proprietary stuff both on the host and on the containers.
