Data centers need to run 24/7, so you aren't able to meet the needs with just solar. Additionally Solar is very seasonal (more power during the summer).
Not saying there aren't ways to making it work, but one natural gas plant vs a mixture of systems is probably cheaper and easier. Especially since the US is currently built around natural gas power.
Isn't pleading the fifth testifying? I feel like the article does a disservice to treat pleading the fifth as not meeting his obligation to testify, but maybe my understanding is incorrect.
I'm not defending anyone, just explaining how the law is working in this scenario as people seems to have lost the ability to understand simple taxes (tariffs).
I hate comments like this. Nintendo paid an illegal tax, so they deserve a refund. Consumers got screwed by their government, not Nintendo.
Also, if you think the tariffs, AI, threat of more tariffs, Iran war, etc. haven't increases the cost of operations for businesses then you're not paying attention to current events.
I use Audiobookshelf as the app support is great (allows downloading offline versions and progress syncs when you reconnect to internet). This works amazingly well with my Boox Palma 2 since it runs android.
I don't download a ton of books, so I just have some simple Python scripts for organizing the content.
I am certain this is an area my self hosted solutions lack, but still happy to share.
For me accessibility is the most important, and I have family that's not technically savvy, so vpns/Wireguard arent great for my use case. So I use a reverse proxy to expose certain apps and have fail2ban configured to block/ban ips that misbehave. This essentially blocks people trying to guess accounts and I've been toying with some ratelimiting. However, as many will say, this is not a very secure system and I should monitor my local traffic more to be aware of bad actors.
At the end of the day though it's really a battle of ease vs security. Reverse proxies provide easier access, but more risk compared to things like vpns. Also, SSH should be setup for key only (no password) and should never be exposed to the public internet (so no reverse proxy).
I've been tempted by things like authentik, but how does that work for things like apps and tv sticks (roku / Chromecast)? Or does it really only work for browser based applications?
I believe everyone is talking about "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command", an animated tv show about the exploits of Buzz Lightyear.
If you watch the show, it more closely aligns with Buzz's background details from the Toy Story movies compared to the 2022 Lightyear movie. Its believed that Pixar didn't like the animated show because they didn't make it, so Lightyear rewriting who "Buzz Lightyear" really was makes more sense from that context.
I personally feel the the show was better for leaning into the kinda campiness it had and feel like Lightyear would have benefitted from drawing on that show. I don't think anyone wanted a more gritty version of Buzz and it makes the Lightyear movie seem disconnected from the Toy Story universe.
Edit: Also people use the fact that it's not on Disney+ as evidence that someone at Disney has it out for that show.
I think it's silly to think that this has nothing to do with pokemon. Palworld basically came out of nowhere and made the pokemon game a lot of people have been asking for. I haven't played a Pokémon game in years because they felt held back from modern game design.
I'll admit it has similarities to Ark, but it's a lot more PvE and approachable, not to mention the creature design and capture mechanics.
I mean there is a big difference between ramen in general and things like "cup noodle".
One serving of cup noodle has about 50% of your daily sodium and very little nutrional value. I think the issue is that most people don't think of things like cup noodle as the "fast" form of ramen.
They didn't originally, but at least in Europe they started getting some "monopolistic" threats and started to split it up. I'm not sure if they split them for all countries/markets and am too lazy to look it up right now.
