It was many months between announcement and release of their previous hardware. How soon do you need a laptop?

There’s an app to pull the Astronomy Picture of the Day and set it as a wallpaper

Dissenting opinion - You don’t need to change your payment method, but you might want to rent a box outside your country.

The seedbox provider is providing you sufficient cover. They’re the ones who would have to make the link between the IP you’re using and you. That’s unlikely to happen because they’ve protected themselves.

A copyright owner (or their agent) that is interested in identifying you from your seeding would send a letter to the data center owner (OVH, Hetzner, etc) saying “Hey, one of your IPs is infringing our copyright! Tell them to stop.”

The data center owner might forward that letter on to the seedbox provider who is renting space in their data center. Either way, the letter will be ignored and everyone goes on with their day.

If the copyright owner is sufficiently motivated they can press the issue with some lawyers. Then the data center will provide a name, to make it all someone else’s problem. They don’t have your name though, just the seedbox provider’s, and the seedbox provider is smartly incorporated in another country, which makes litigation complicated (to say the least).

Now, maybe the copyright owner is a cabal of publishers looking to make a point and have buckets of money to spend. (You did say you wanted to mirror Anna’s Archive.) In that case they’ll work with local law enforcement in the jurisdiction that the seedbox provider is incorporated to go after them there.

That court case will take some years to resolve, but then your involvement will come down to whether the seedbox provider kept logs associating payers and IPs. They might or might not. If they didn’t, you’re just one person in a big pool of customers.

If they do have logs associating you specifically to that IP at the time you were infringing the copyright… well, who’s to say your credit card wasn’t stolen?

On the topic of build times, it took me too long to learn that nixos-rebuild supports remote build workers and targets.

For example, if I am editing on my laptop, want to build on my desktop, and apply the build to my file server, then I’d run…

me@laptop$ nixos-rebuild test \
--flake ~/wherever-it-lives \
--build-host desktop \
--target-host file-server \
--use-remote-sudo

The host names should match the name of the nixosConfiguration output from your flake. If they don’t I think you can specify like, --target-host .#some-machine

Remote sudo avoids having to SSH as root.

Bonus tip: Having Tailscale on every machine makes this work reliably from anywhere, network speed as the limit.

No, just this example code from their site:

browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True)

My mistake was not knowing where newspaper4k fits in the stack. They’re wrapping it with Playwright, which it seems you could do here.

Looks like newspaper4k uses headless Chrome. You could try loading the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension and browsing the pages directly.

I regularly use it (in Firefox) without even thinking about it. Only notice when I send someone an article they can’t access.

Radarr and Sonarr both have features to sym/hardlink files to new places after the download client tells them it’s finished.

Filebot also gets mentioned a lot for this task, though I haven’t used it.

I went Galaxy S22 Ultra (ultrasonic) to Pixel 8 Pro (optical) to Pixel 9 XL (ultrasonic).

My impression was the performance improved over time with the Galaxy and Pixel 8. I find the Pixel 9 worst overall, but figure they’ll improve it in software.

No data to back that up.

It mostly struggles when my hand is wet. I miss the Pixel 4’s face unlock.

I use it all the time for hot drinks and soups.

At least it’s level on a table because of the bar

The OP didn’t mention Proxmox in their post. I’ve been speaking generally, not about any specific OS. For example, Nvidia’s enterprise offerings include a license to use their “GRID” vGPU tech (and the enabled feature flag in the driver).

Why? Product segmentation I suppose. Last I looked, the Virtio project’s efforts were still work-in-progress. The Arch wiki article corroborates that today. Inconsistent behavior across brands and product lines.

I’ve also wanted to do this for a while, but there were always a few too many barriers to actually spin up the project. Here’s just a brain dump of things I’ve seen recently.

vGPUs continue to be behind a license. But there is now vgpu_unlock.

L1T just showed off PCIe “fabric” from Liqid that can switch physical devices between machines.

Turning VMs on and off isn’t as slick as either of the above, but that is doable today. You’ll just have to build all the switching automation yourself. That could just be a shell script running QEMU/libvirt commands, at a minimum.

I have wanted something like this but didn’t realize it was possible. Thanks for the heads up.

Link for others.

Fortunately Gaben has only a minor interest in Volvo 😉.

But actually his son is involved in the games industry, and there’s plenty of other like-minded people at Valve. Hopefully the (far) future of Valve is as bright as its present.

There’s some history there, if you didn’t know. Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

Airtags (and similar systems) use “Ultra Wideband” to do their thing, which requires different hardware.

There may be Bluetooth involved in some implementations but the star of the show, that facilitates the accuracy, is UWB.

I’m not the best person to ask as I just chat on a few channels in a single server.

There definitely are software projects that run their real-time support through Matrix in the same way others do it through IRC or Discord.

At the same time most servers seem to have a General room (or similar) for off-topic chats.

Peruse the big list of public rooms here. That might give you a sense of it.

Featureset-wise it falls somewhere between IRC and Discord.

Custom bangs are private to the user. It’s not dissimilar to saving a bookmark in your browser, except your bookmarks are hosted by someone else.

It doesn’t have to be about legality either. Maybe you like a service that is being protested by DDG for whatever reason.
