What would you like to see in a house IT setup?
  • I built a 24V DC power network in my server and office space two years ago, backed by a battery. The constant "UPS" is great, and its power efficient.

    Anyone else feel weirdly drawn to forests or have the desire to live near one?
  • Yes! I've recently bought a house that has a forest on one side and the city on the other. It's great! I take daily walks on the trails in the woods.

    Why would your best friend or someoneyou mutually considered a good friend suddenly ghost you?
  • This sucks, I know. I just responded to a friend's message from two months ago, and I've felt bad about not responding since then. But life happens, and for me at least it had nothing to do about that friends behaviour.

    What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?
  • I've done this with debian in the past, you just install different DE in parallel. Works well enough, don't remember it causing any issues. It just makes a mess of your home folder, so I don't do it outside of testing purposes.

    why I don't use the official youtube app
  • I haven't seen this in any of the lists, but would it be possible to create a YouTube premium app without all the anti-consumer design. Like a fork of the official app where I'd be able to login, but not have all the bloat and just have search, subscriptions and playlists.

    What is it with services now separating username and password fields?
  • I think it's due to single sign on (SSO) or other means of authentication (OAUTH), which is convenient when used.

    But I agree, annoying if you use username and password.

    Någon med erfarenhet av... kontorsstolar?
  • Jag jobbar hemma och sitter väl ca 10 h om dan, och upplevde samma problem som du.

    Men för två år sedan köpte jag efter rekommendation en pilatesboll att sitta på.

    Det tog nån månad att vänja kroppen vid en annorlunda belastning, men jag är väldigt nöjd. Smärta i ben och rygg är borta, och nu blir jag snarare trött vilket jag löser genom att ta en kort paus.

    Värt att prova tycker jag, och betydligt billigare.

    Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?
  • I sure hope so . I have a new XPS 13 9315 on the way!

    I've been running a 2019 XPS 13 on Debian without any major issues, just sleep that has high battery drain. But I think that's a common issue.

    How do you keep your home servers online during powercuts?
  • I don’t have a good link to share, but from the research I did the difference is huge.

    LiFePO4 batteries have a higher capacity, longer lifetime, safer and higher power to weight density. Many come with built in communication, like my bluetooth connection.

    They are also expensive, but for my use case it’s much cheaper over time. I use about half a charge per day, which this battery should be able to sustain for 5-10 years. A lead acid battery would probably last months.

    How do you keep your home servers online during powercuts?
  • Forgot to add that a big part of the setup is in the battery controller, which I built on my own. :) That was a very fun project, and now the battery is fully automatic and charging is based on hourly price and the power provided by my solar panels.
