General rule of thumb, for a DC battery backup you want to charge via DC, and power appliances via AC.

This is because any additional conversions comes with losses, but if it has some weird DC plug that isnt easy to convert or something you can just eat the losses (~10-15%) and use AC to DC blocks for charging too.

Converting AC to DC for most of them, with the associated <100% efficiency

can’t you also install snaps on Debian?

Theres also a lot of hardware on them that is useless for server use, but still adds cost.

So its probably still cheaper just to buy a used server instead of an army of mid steam decks.

Honestly sounds like you might be a bit on the spectrum, maybe mixed with some anxiety.

But none of us here are going to be able to give a professional diagnosis, just reccomend exploring that avenue.

My best advice would be explore things as much as you can safely, but honestly dont worry about doing it and doing it wrong. Absolute worst case you look like a fool for 30 seconds in front if some strangers, but gain knowledge you can use for years (even about something as simple as ordering food).

Wearing headphones, especially noise cancelling can also help cut out a lot of the, well, noise in the environment and discourage others from focusing on you (by looking busy), so make things like exploring a new library easier to approach as well.

All anecdotal though, so take it all with a grain of salt and recognise if any of this feels like its not working for you - dont force it! You’ll figure out what works best for you in time.

its worded weirdly but I took it to mean

“its encouraging arm adoption to of the x86 market, at the expense of x86 manufacturers amd and intel”

edit: can’t read the article to confirm though it requires a subscription

One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library

Got a link for the dev recommendation? I hadn’t heard about that

I think NVK is the default implimentation these days

I’m not at all experienced this stuff so sorry if this is obvious - but how is that different from hardware?

Its not like valve is reimbursing cash for the hardware after bought, theyre both just some materials (that can be sold elsewhere for cash) right?

Dont the cards have value?

Ive thought about trying this before, but do you have any experience with how to actually hook up the power supply?

Never thought breaking a drive was worth the risk, but theoretically you should be able to solder a buck converter to the laptops motherboard if the voltage requirements vary.

Rig up the 12v barrel adapter right to the laptops battery

I think you can use the service to remount using the fstab entries/options. (Like “mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXX” and it’ll automatically apply the options and mountpoint)

Arguably cleaner depending on your setup

Its crazy how walking into a corn field can feel like a Martian wasteland on the surface

Like the “hasnt left the lab in 75 years” thorium reactors (Which current designs still need enriched uranium)? and the recycle reactors that produce weapons grade plutonium (Of course, also via enriched uranium)? Id love to see you

No I dont mean those, I mean the CANDU’s, a viable system that has been operating for around the same amount of time thorium has been in development hell (again, 75 years).

Are you trying to say america has never had a nuclear disaster on record? Cause its pretty easy to google that US has had more nuclear accidents in the 2000’s than canada has in the past century. The Three Mile Island meltdown was probably the worst nuclear accident in north america, its hardly reasonable to ignore it. Unless you count uranium mining accidents, cause then the Church Rock uranium mill takes the crown.

And which country has ~2000 nuclear reactors? I must have missed this in my research, with those numbers they account for approximately 4x the total number of reactors in the world, a surprising oversight. (Or are you doing some football math that 94/19 = 100x? Cause even if 94/19=5x then per capita america is still lacking)

Damn, I still see some available on aliexpress but it looks like they aren’t stocking any more.

Probably taken out by the ram shortage like everything fun.

And developed a reactor that doesnt need enriched uranium, removing the risk of weapons development.

And have been one of the few countries to deploy reactors under budget and on time.

Not all of north america.

Canada is a world leader in nuclear and number 3 for hydro for example.
