Imo, renewable should still be the target, nuclear should be the bridge towards renewable until it's feasible enough

You'll love the new EU law that forces batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user (by 2027).

UK really seems to want to close themselves off from the world. Sounds like an immense amount of work for something that can never be truly effective, the ones who want to keep their communication secure will always find a way.

Streaming was great when Netflix launched, convenient and affordable - I remember being excited when Netflix finally launched in my country. Was only a matter of time before all would turn to shit with every tv network/producer launching their own streaming services and fragmenting all that content.

I feel disgusted for looking up to this dude about a decade or so ago

For me, making a graph is the best documentation, everything else is in config files.

If I really do need to takes notes, It's currently in notion but I'm hoping soon I'll be able to self-host AnyType (https://github.com/orgs/anyproto/discussions/17)

It shouldn't be a turn off, but it absolutely is right now. Why does federation have to be so visible to the end user? I really don't get it, things could just be federated mostly behind the scenes. It already goes wrong on the homepage where users are faced with "joining a server" and they get overwhelmed by technical terms like "instances" "fediverse" "lemmyverse". Then you have to pick a server and one of the first things you potentially see is complicated url's no one can ever remember and descriptions containing keywords like "piracy", "NSFW", "furry" and lots of other stuff most people aren't interested in. But this already sets the tone of what content there is, which could be good but could also just scary people away pretty quickly.

Then even if a user does decide to go through and pick a server, they need to remember the URL of it. Lots of people still just go to google and type "lemmy", land on the homepage and see no login button and get completely lost.

And that's just signing up.

There needs to be a focus on UX, more specifically in getting rid of all that technical jazz for non technical users and in guiding users toward the content they want to see. People aren't finding the content or are just stuck on a page that doesn't update for days. All the different server related stuff should be invisible unless you want to see it.

There's just way too much focus on "federation" that few people actually care about. If you want people of all ages and interests, it'll have to become a lot simpler.

For comparison, I'm running about a hundred containers on a 9 year old laptop easily (i7 4700 HQ with 16GB ram), I'm sure I can run many more

You could turn off logins completely and put something like Authentik in front of it, handle logins through there instead.

I've been using it for a couple days, set it up with Sonarr/Radarr but been getting downloads that stay stuck at 99% and more that just don't start. Though I must say it's often with older, maybe much less popular content (been downloading older seasons of Gold Rush). With newer stuff I've been getting very good results though.

I still have Netflix, but only because they still haven't bothered me about account sharing. The moment they do, It's going away.

Yeah, well I already got my boat in the water since the account sharing announcement from Netflix. I'm sure many more will do the same in the coming months.

AI can write better articles at this point

I also have a different address for every account I have, I'm currently using cloudflare to forward everything to my gmail address, using SMPT in gmail I'm also able to send from those addresses in case I need it.

Downside is I need to enter SMTP for each e-mail address I want to send from, but i really only ever send from info@. Spam wise there's no issue if you've set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records properly.

It is indeed Excalidraw

So it would seem it's always a good idea to contact them, get a commercial license or custom licensing terms (they do seem open to that from what I gather here and here) before building a business on top of their software.

At the very least setting referer policy headers and such would be a good addition.

While I agree this is the way, a platform like this shouldn't have to come with a handbook for people to be able to enjoy it. I guess this is why many such platforms start by asking you what topics you're interested in and such.

A little note on that: Amazon SES free tier is going to change starting tomorrow though. It changed from free to free for 12 months (with adjusted limits), see https://devclass.com/2023/06/23/aws-to-remove-62000-message-simple-email-service-always-free-tier-from-august-2023/

It is running 24/7 yes, temps are stable and only really goes up when I'm home and actively doing things that would make it go up (like watching jellyfin). It runs with the lid closed and screen off.

You can always use one of those laptop stands with coolers underneath, or even without coolers, just having it lifted may improve airflow too. I did monitor the temps the first few days but it really doesn't seem to be an issue, CPU temps at the moment is around 50 C, GPU is disabled as it's old and can't even be used to transcode anything.

You can always just use your laptop to try it out, see where it goes and then decide to spend money on something better and more suited to your needs.
