1200 incoming + 1 hairdryer at the same time equals overloaded circuit though.

It is more than just the concern around back-feeding the grid. These simple balcony setups connect to your home grid via a single outlet. Most US outlets/circuits are 15 AMP or roughly 1500 watts max capacity. These single circuits can only carry that much current total at any one time so if you have it loaded up with incoming power AND use anything else on the circuit at the same time … no bueno. To make this setup work best/safely you would ideally want a dedicated circuit for it which is basically non-existent today.

The safety issues really do need to be addressed because the folks most likely to use these systems are apartment dwellers and I don’t think anyone wants to increase fire risk in these scenarios.

Gentoo is GOAT. I am also glad that Arch exists though. Both have excellent wikis, good knowledgeable communities, lots of configuration options. In terms of pure speed, it is hard to beat a build it all from source as per your own custom USE flags setup like in Gentoo.

Can I have 2 billion dollars to build UNIVERSE models?

Whenever these editors wars come around I just…

sshfs zerocool@thegibson:/home/zerocool ~/sshfs/thegibson

… and then edit files with MS Word… like a real gangster.

Blink twice if you’re compromised by the Mossad! You certainly would not be alone amongst world leaders.

Nokia 2780 is not bad. It runs KaiOS, supports tethering and 4G cell data. As long as you stick to the script on how you use the device it will have minimal privacy issues IMHO. If that is still not enough you can skip phones altogether and get a 4G dongle for your favorite Linux laptop/tablet and just use a softphone + voip service.

SSH and freeRDP are pretty reliable.

Smart phones are a bad idea. A simple, dumb phone to make calls, texts and occasionally tether your laptop, vehicle tablet to for data access are all you really need. Even the dumb phone should have physical switches for the radios and a battery that can be removed without any tools.

If vibe-coding is wrecking Windows 11 and Office now … just wait until Windows 12 sees the light of day! Ohhh boy, will that ever be some infinite-monkeys-on-typewriters-shite!

I also like FauxPilot.

faux - adj - artificial or imitation; fake.

Not to* be confused with the OSS alternative, also named fauxpilot.

Fairphone is such an obvious partner here I guess that’s why they went with a Chinese manufacturer instead.

I am sure nothing bad will come from that decision.1, 2, 3

Seriously, though. Why?

In fact, I actually prefer jamming on my Linux boxes because of pulseeffects/easyeffects and its really nice EQ, AutoGain and other plugins.

Just read the paper. ArsTechnica is such a terrible source for analysis on anything remotely technical.

This video is penguin/click bait and not a meme. Maybe I missed the joke.

Check your passkeys. You might still have one in the OS credential manager.
