The most famous case of a professional explosive maker blowing himself up must be Alfred Nobel’s own brother, Emil, who died on an accident on one of their nitroglycerin plants.

OP need to train for languaging.

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.

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 use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

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.

I think OP’s argument is that the interchange is a symptom of low density urban sprawl and all the associated maladies that come with it.

The only pins that carry power on a PCIe slot are the ones before the 1st notch, those are covered by the slot. all the other are data and low voltage and current limited, so there’s very little risk. On top of that, OP protected those pins with kapton tape to be extra sure.

Using larger PCIe cards on 1x slot is more common than you think and perfectly safe.

Actually, 2/3rds. If she’s earning 50% more, that means the previous wage was 100 and now is 150. 100 / 150 is 0.6666… or 66.66%, 2/3rds.

Sorry for the pedantism, but it’s the kind of math that needs to be correct to avoid misunderstandings.

Still an awfully sad thing, tho. Teachers should be paid the same as doctors, IMHO.

The hardware was never a joke, it’s just that the drivers were pretty bad at the beginning, but they improved them to the point where it’s competitive with a 3050 in gaming (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6sHUNBxVg) and in video encoding/decoding, it matches and sometimes gets ahead of the more expensive 3060 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98KiTx4Vh7o)

Go for RAM size. Video editing uses a lot of it.

Don’t bother with the X3D CPUs, video editors don’t benefit from the extra cache, the problem with the stacked dies is that it makes moving heat out of the CPU harder, so they tend to run at lower clock speeds, so with a normal CPU, you’ll get a little bit more performance on video tasks, while the hit on gaming performance will be minimal, especially if you play at higher resolutions where the GPU will be the limiting factor.

As for storage, get an NVMe that’s big enough to store the games you’re playing and the video project you’re working at the moment, so access is quicker. for other projects and games you don’t play often, put them on an HDD or NAS with 10Gb Ethernet.

As for graphics cards, Nvidia has better video encoding than AMD at the moment and great gaming performance, but don’t dismiss Intel Arc, they’re entry-level for gaming, but have a stellar performance in video encoding. Considering the price difference between AMD and Nvidia, you could pretty much buy an RX 7900XTX and an Arc A750 for the same price of an RTX 4080, so you could use one for gaming and the other for encoding. The advantage of this is that you could play games on the AMD card at the same time the encoding is running on the Intel.

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.

Privacy conscious Interface for Youtube, with a much cleaner and faster interface. You can try a public instance from this list: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

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”

Once you enabled SSH on the Deck, you can access the filesystem using SSHFS. If your desktop is windows, you can install this program: https://github.com/winfsp/sshfs-win/releases/tag/v3.5.20357. In Linux (Debian derivatives like Ubuntu) install it wit sudo apt install sshfs then read the man páge with man sshfs to learn how to use it.
