  • I find Kagi results a little bit better than Google's (for most things). I like that certain categories of results are put in their own sections (listicles, forums) so they're easy to ignore if you want. I like that I can prioritize, deprioritize, block, or pin results from certain domains. I like that I can quickly switch "lenses" to one of the predefined or custom lenses.

  • Their line goes up when they show they're investing in AI, and it goes down when it looks like they're falling behind or not investing enough in it.

    TBH, a lot of times I find myself interacting with ChatGPT instead of searching. It's overhyped, but it's useful.

  • I've had unattended upgrades running on a home server for a couple years and haven't had any issues.

  • They're good for media centers, since the support 4k HDR. Can also use Moonlight to stream games from a PC. GPIO is useful, but I guess the PI is overpowered for most GPIO use cases at this point.

  • Hmm, so looks like around 100kB/s. That's about what I remember (100kB/s - 300kB/s).

    I've recently been trying out Tribler, and it's much faster than the last time I tried it (I've seen 2MB/s on popular torrents, but around 500kB/s on less popular). Not sure if there are simply more exit nodes with more bandwidth now or if there are more people on the Tribler network seeding.

  • I've been trying out Logseq the past couple days, which I guess is an alternative to Obsidian (never tried that). Can't say I really understand the point or appropriate workflow of notes in a "graph" structure rather than a tree structure though (or the purpose of a journal). I like Joplin, but I've been having trouble with syncing on Android.

  • Looks nice and useful. I was thinking about doing something similar. Does not appear to be attached to the building? Posts look like they were covered with some kind of protection, sunk into holes, then back-filled with gravel?

  • If it's a modern US Samsung model originally provided by a carrier, you can't. A long time ago, people used to find/use security exploits for Samsung phones, but I think they just don't care much anymore since you can buy international versions or other bootloader unlockable phones.

  • Yeah, I was looking into this recently, and even games like Roblox are labelled Teen (even though I think it's obvious they target younger children).

  • The power used by AC is responsible for ~3% of global emissions. I can't find data about the impact of refrigerants ATM, but I assume it's significant because of their extremely high "global-warming-potential." I'm guessing a significant amount of emissions come from the manufacture of refrigerants, and a significant amount of refrigerants leak out of systems when they fail (or are improperly disposed of).

  • I like the Turris Omnia and (highly configurable) Turris Mox. They come with OpenWrt installed.

  • A significant amount of greenhouse gasses are emitted because of air conditioning. It's a feedback loop.

  • Sea levels rising is only one of the concerns. I think the biggest concern is the reduction of ariable land due to climate change. I.e. the carrying capacity of the Earth will decrease (and I'm of the opinion that the human species has already greatly overshot Earth's carrying capacity; hence the current degradation of our environment).

    I think the species will survive, but may experience a population crash (i.e. mass death), and severly reduced quality of life. I think having 1 or 2 kids is fine for now, and hope I'm wrong in my Malthusian-like thinking.

  • A long time ago, I used Syncthing to do this. Sometimes there would be file conflicts, which was a pain to resolve, so I switched to BitWarden (using their server for syncing) and have been using it ever since.

  • Some automotive infotainment systems run on Linux.

  • Old dual-core Pentium, lol (Haswell I think, or something from around that time), 16GB RAM. 5 16TB SATA hard disks.

  • In my local county (in Texas), there was a guy in jail for 5 years without trial (I think he's going in 6 years without trial, but a go-fund-me paid his bail last year), and 2 years in jail without trial is not uncommon.
