No, sadly no active fork of Alexandrite that I could find.

We found a nice fork of the mymlm (old.) frontend though.

Ah, some lesser known VR titles that never the less seem good. Thanks for sharing.

Where do tractors mainly transport people (or cargo)?

A boat is clearly closer to your definition of a car than a tractor.

By that definition a tractor isn’t a car.

You’re calling me a clown when you don’t even know what a car is?? 🤡

You are making up arbitrary definitions to suit your silly argument. A boat is a form of personalized transport with an ICE engine, a steering wheel and seats, even a windshield etc. so it is clearly a “car” 🤡

And boats are a variety of car if they have an ICE, right? 🤡

You are also arguing in bad faith, because cars are not the same as internal combustion engines. You might be able to argue correctly that tractors replaced farm animals for productive use, but tractors are not cars.

The point is that horses got replaced by trains, trams and bicycles for most people long before cars became widely used.

There is no competition: Idiocracy, because it isn’t funny anymore when you are in it yourself.

Wordpress has a well working ActivityPub extensions that is developed with official funding by Automattic. You can interact with Mastodon quite well via these extensions.

But yes, Wordpress is kinda shit otherwise.

Please don’t forget the ventilation. Nasty stuff in solder.

I don’t see the point, especially not at $150.

The Steam Frame isn’t an AR headset and it makes little sense to pretend it is.

The built in passthrough mode only exists because it has the cameras to do inside out tracking anyway so adding this is only a minor addition software side.

So what exactly is this for? So that I can find the bottle with water in full color mode? 🙄

Nice vid, and yeah an old laptop or so really will be able to do a lot of cool stuff.

Looks pretty fun indeed.

In Discord you also have to pay with your lack of privacy and your text and voice is used to train LLMs, so that is another very real cost.

Right AC. Was a typo, corrected now.

As for running nominally 12V stuff directly of a battery… you got lucky with your router then. I had the same idea with various mini PCs and ARM SBCs, and the majority absolutely should not be run directly off a battery where the voltage fluctuates so much. And it gets even worse when you try to solar charge the batteries.

This is why I put it as “free speech”. Sadly the alt-right has pretty much captured the term in english speaking online spaces. Some people also started to call the alt-right interpretation of it “freeze peach” because of that.

Probably best to use NUT to shut down the servers gracefully if the power outage is too long.

When charging, 12V lead acid batteries have significant higher voltages (>14V), so you basically need a DC to DC converter to make sure you get a stable 12V supply. Some (typically industrial/automotive grade) systems have that built into their internal power supply and can work directly off a 12V battery, but with consumer routers I would assume that not to be the case.

While there is DC AC power the battery in a UPS isn’t used. It’s not a constant AC-DC-AC conversion, that conversion only happens when there is a power outage.

The problem is that lead-acid batteries are a really shitty technology with high self discharge rates and short overall life span (their only advantage is high burst capacity that’s good for starting motors).

I would look for 12V LiFePO4 batteries in a standard lead-acid form factor that are meant as drop in replacements. Those are somewhat more expensive (like 2-3x the price) but will likely last a quarter century or more.

I am currently using an interim solution where my solar inverter has an seperate emergeny power outlet that works even when power is cut. Sadly it doesn’t switch to battery fast enough (like half a second delay 😓) for it to work as a UPS directly. But in combination with some old regular UPS that have spend batteries that only last a few minutes it works ok. But yeah, not the most efficient option conversion wise, but solar power is free 🤷
