I believe 4K is already basically there. I have a 50" 4K (2160p) that I sit 9 feet away from and based on the Nvidia PPD calculator, that makes for 168ppd, and according to that page 150ppd is around the upper limit of human vision. Apple’s “retina” displays target around 50-60ppd (varies based on assumed viewing distance), which is what most people seem to consider “average eye visual acuity”. Imo 4K / 150ppd is more than enough.

Seems Pierre has struck down the steam deck update rumor:

“There is and will be no Z2 Steam Deck. Guessing the slide was meant to say the series is meant for products like that, not announcing anything specific.”

If the battery inverter in the Anker box doesn’t pass through grid power then I think you would use an automatic transfer switch that switches between mains and battery inverter depending on which is powered. I had dreams of offsetting my homelab power with solar + battery + inverter.

Sure no biggie, I keep pretty meticulous records so it’s easy to check. My old place in the Boston metro was 4br and used 600-1200kwh, peaking in the summer. Natural gas heat and central AC. Now we’re in a 2br in a complex and get more free heat from our neighbors and it ranges from 800-1100, with central heat pump heat and AC, but since the heat isn’t gas anymore the heat is included in that.

I live in a 2 br apartment and use like 3000-4000 gal per month according to our water bill. Be sure to check if there is a multiplier or if it’s in “units of 10” or 100. Our bill used to show multiples of 10 gallons but now it shows in units of 100gal.

If the machine doesn’t boot then you can use this to access the bios and boot a recovery environment of your choice remotely using pxeboot.

Immich has a setting that does automatic photo backup over WiFi, I use the android app as a Google photos replacement. You can choose however many folders on your phone as you want (I just do camera roll) and enable only backup over WiFi and it backs up all the photos in original quality. I self-host the server on my Synology with a reverse proxy (can’t forward ports at my current place due to cgnat) so I can access it from anywhere.

I believe the app is cross platform so the iPhone version should be identical to the android one.

In theory they could, but that would mean constantly snooping on customer traffic and checking their requests against constantly updated lists of pirate related sites, and ISPs almost universally rely on external complaints which is only possible with P2P piracy.

Combined with the fact that it’s in ISPs best interests to keep you on as a paying customer means they all look the other way until someone complains instead of actively looking for reasons to lose customers.

The actual main risk with those streaming sites is that some have crypto miners that run in the background, so make sure to close those tabs when you’re done, and use an ad blocker to reduce the risk of malware and you’re fine.

I once had someone open an issue in my side project repo who asked about a major release bump and whether it meant there were any breaking changes or major changes and I was just like idk I just thought I added enough and felt like bumping the major version ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Woah federation would be huge!

Someday I would love to be able to share and receive shared photos / albums to and from users on different servers. Especially if it lets me sync the original files so that I can keep a copy in case their server goes down. It would also be neat if you could enable activitypub so that your account could show up as a fediverse user that people can follow for public or approved follower only posts, pixelfed compatibility would be super cool.
