Probably some hack to make it look to the OS like it is charging the battery.
But yeah, why all the silicone? 😱

It looks fine as in the default Piefed these, yes. But they used to have a very nice custom theme.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Their theme broke with the update?

Probably? I have not tried it myself to be honest.
- Comment on Bonfire: building blocks for communities on the open social web by Bonfire - Crowdfunding Campaign 1 week ago:
It is a modular system that includes a module for microblogging. But it can also be turned into something else.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 1 week ago:
Recent models run surprisignly well on CPUs if you have sufficient regular RAM. You can also use a low VRAM GPU and offload parts to the CPU. If you are just starting out and want to play around I would try that first. 64gb system RAM is a good amount for that.

- Comment on Sodium-Ion batteries could lower grid energy storage costs by 80% For cities | Edenicity 1 week ago:
So you answered your own question? Because some of that is described differently in the video.
- Comment on Sodium-Ion batteries could lower grid energy storage costs by 80% For cities | Edenicity 1 week ago:
The sodium-ion performance info in that video seems a bit off. Afaik they are mainly cheaper and with more sustainable materials, but a bit less performant than lithium ion and thus not that suitable for increasing the range of EVs etc.
But still, for cheaper small electric city vehicles and stationary applications they will probably be quite nice.
- Comment on Lemmy "Subscribed" page loads slower than "All"? 1 week ago:
What you can try is to clear your browser cache for the main domain. In the past there was a bug in Lemmy that caused Firefox based browsers to accumulate many gigabytes of cache data and that slowed down the loading of the page significantly. In the latest version there are some fixes for this and it shouldn’t effect app usage, but I suspect this problem still persists to some extend.
- Comment on Lemmy "Subscribed" page loads slower than "All"? 1 week ago:
Aside from general issues others have mentioned, our instance (slrpnk.net) is seeing some especially high database load in the last couple of days and I also noticed the subscribed page to be even slower than usual. I tried to figure out what it causing it, but so far there is no clear smoking gun, but I suspect some AI scrapers found a way to target the Lemmy API directly so our current scraper protections for the webinterface are inadequate.
- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 2 weeks ago:
There have been such attempts, like Nextbox for example. But afaik they have been all commercial failures, IMHO because basically anyone that cares enough about this stuff can build their own for a much lower price, and those that don’t…
- Comment on Could anyone help me set up a lemmy instance? 2 weeks ago:
Indeed, Postgres 18 introduced some breaking changes and AFAIK Lemmy isn’t compatible with them yet. This will probably be fixed in the next release.

Is something you might be interested in.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
With libvirt it is fairly easy yes. And you can also install a standalone web-gui like Cockpit or use the desktop app virt-manager over ssh to do it.
- Comment on Success removing flaking enamel with needle scaler 2 weeks ago:
Uff, big difference! Nice job 👍
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
Proxmox adds a lot of complexity and a nice GUI. If you are fine with using the terminal, there is really not much benefit from Proxmox and the potential issues from the added complexity are IMHO not worth it. I am not a Proxmox expert though, so take this advise with a grain of salt 😅
- Comment on Recommend that new users join geographically local instances 2 weeks ago:
Afaik it is a specific implementation issue in Lemmy that causes this. Instances in Australia had problems catching up with lemmy.world because of that.
- Comment on Gitea 1.25.0 | 3D file previews, improved archive downloads, enhanced authentication, and more security, API and workflow upgrades like automatic repo forking and email notifications for actions 2 weeks ago:
The federation is mainly about issues (so the discussions and comments) and being able to make cross instance pull-requests and so on. So yes, it is mostly about communication.
- Comment on PC Master Race 3 weeks ago:
We are talking about price relative to performace, not performance in general.
But the cost of the hardware is anyways not so relevant when the price difference of the software easily makes up the difference.
- Comment on PC Master Race 3 weeks ago:
You still easily can with second hand components.
- Comment on PC Master Race 3 weeks ago:
That period repeats every 3-5 years approximatly towards the end of a generation but before the new generation is announced.
- Comment on Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux 3 weeks ago:
Usually companies accept that you remove storage mediums before sending it in, as those might contain private data. And if that is ok, then there is no way for them to know that you installed Linux on those.
- Comment on btrfs offsite backup 3 weeks ago:
Hmm, good question. I don’t have a setup for that either, but I don’t think there is a built in function for that.
Your best bet is probably to find some tool that notifies you if new files get created in a directory, as AFAIK new snapshots are only created if they were successfully transferred.
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 3 weeks ago:
Nextcloud is overkill for what you want.
If all you need is a shared calendar and a simple way to upload images, then this is a good option: github.com/tchapi/davis
- Comment on Reducing Homelab Laptop energy consumption 3 weeks ago:
Wifi is often a module in older laptops, and you could unplug that.
Otherwise, 10W is quite good for older hardware, I doubt you will get much below that.
- Comment on Its a solar powered phone / webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams. 3 weeks ago:
Nice work. But the phone should be able to host quite a bit more, as it is actually quite fast.
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 3 weeks ago:
You mean like today when sites don’t work without using Chromium or if you dare to have some tracking protection active?
