RPCS3 is indeed excellent, but if you look at their compatibility list about a third of all games aren’t in a playable state. The big exclusive titles people usually set up an emulator for will work for the most part, but outside of that it quickly becomes a lot sketchier.
I hate how oddly specific “Moved from Jekyll to Hugo people” is, mostly because that’s exactly what I did as well. I don’t use it to write any blog posts though. It’s more a “Here’s a list of things I’ve created”-generator.
Oh yeah, I kind of skipped over that, but I actually meant that more flexible consumption helps bring down baseload demand, and in turn the need for backup generation as well once we reach that point where that matters.
Really good explanation of the issue though. Personally, I’m a bit more optimistic about being able to be more flexible demand. Particularly EVs and heat pumps are two areas where a smart grid can help shape demand without even being noticed by the people (apart from cheaper tariffs) as long as the car is fully charged in the morning and the room temperature is maintained.
The entire point of the nuclear is so that it can take the base load
The idea to cover baseload demand with its own baseload power generation is an outdated concept though from a time when demand was inflexible and generation could be controlled to fit. Now that generation is dynamic, having baseload power generation is the opposite of what’s needed. We need flexible backup generation and more flexible demand to bring down baseload demand.
We also shouldn’t just focus on generation, but also on consumption. If we had a smarter grid that could shift demand to fit the dynamic power generation of renewables better, that should reduce the required capacity for backup power generation quite a bit.
Although a good guess, this looks more like the work of someone who’s in way over their head and barely knows how to use git. Probably just downloaded the repo as a zip instead of cloning it through git. At least that’s the vibe I get from their commit history and other repos.
So basically, this person did the right thing on accident.
It’s the only thing I’m actually missing after my switch to Linux.
Music playback and organization, file conversion, replay gain and exporting to USB devices all in a single program with a highly customizable UI on top. So far I haven’t found anything that comes even close to replacing all that. Too bad it isn’t open source.
Had a hard time finding any recent information either, but with the recent release of 1.20 I’ve noticed that an Activitypub endpoint got added in the API and that permissions for it can be added to tokens. Seems very rudimentary so far though.
From my experience the “default” experience, which is Docker Desktop, is a pain, due to what you described. In particular, Linux containers and Windows file permissions just don’t mix well.
Other than that, there’s three options:
It doesn’t make any sense to me from the perspective that I’ve approached it.
I think you’ve already identified the issue. Docker is pretty “simple”, but you’ve got to approach it from the right angle or else it doesn’t make sense. Apart from suggesting the official documentation I can’t give you much advice on how to learn it because my path to understanding Docker was pretty much just trying things out and iterating on it. That said here’s a tips that could help:
As @housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com has already mentioned, building your own images is also pretty helpful since it strips a lot of the “black magic” away and teaches you how to further “mod” existing images.
I’d guess that it might be related to how you’ve set up the virtual network adapter. This depends on the specifc virtualization software you use, but the adapter for HA should be be set to something called bridged network, meaning the VM gets its own IP on your home network, no routing or NAT in between. HA will struggle to connect with devices otherwise, as all these protocols weren’t designed to work across multiple networks.
For services that need to be public facing (Mastodon, Lemmy, Gitea…) I’m renting a VPS. Services that are only for personal use run on my home server and are only accessible through Wireguard, with the VPS acting as a “bridge” whenever I’m outside of my home network.
If you need something that packs more power than a Pi while still being somewhat energy efficient and small form factor then yes, the NUCs are generally pretty good.
Personally I’m running a NUC from 2018 with a 8th gen i3 that’s pulling double duty as both a server running about ~10 docker containers, and as a media center.
The server part still runs flawlessly, though the media center part is getting a bit slow when opening websites on it.
As others have already said, one drawback is that there’s only space for one drive, so at least a NAS or external USB storage is recommended for backups.
SimCity 2000 isn’t on ProtonDB because they only list Steam games. It’s on Lutris though with multiple automatic install scripts for different versions, so it should be fairly easy to get running.
In general I’ve had way less trouble getting ancient Windows games to run on modern Linux than on modern Windows.
