This is one of those things that no one realizes cause no one draws too much attention to it, but the US hasn’t been slacking on renewables in general - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United_States - https://earthenergylog.com/articles/solar-power-statistics-us-2026

The thing is, developing countries will always see a bigger impact from newer technology because they are developing and so are building up base capacity. In the US we already have a lot of base load that already exists, so new power is to either increase overall load or to replace. Both of those things typically happen slower than new build out.

I run Kogma alongside AudioBookShelf, but have ended up reading most manga directly from AudioBookShelf. The reader is hit or miss, but syncing works great and you can download comics/books for when youre on the go (and it will also sync progress when you reconnect).

The major downside is AudioBookshelfs opinions on directory structure. Requires a fair amount of work reorganizing content.

While it’s overarching plot is kinda meh, it’s structure felt similar to things like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop (basically a western), which both are fairly well regarded. But to me, the high episodes of Kinos Journey stand out more than any Trigun episodes and are at least on par if not better than many Cowboy Bebop episodes.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen someone recommend “Kinos Journey”. I stumbled upon it years ago looking for new anime and never understood why it never got more attention. The ending is a little weird, bit it has some fantastic episodes.

Haha, I’m not sure how much getting into the manga helped in that case. Not sure well ever get a real ending to that story.

Escape Academy or similar type of escape room/puzzle games might work.

Slay the Spire 2 has a good co-op option. And technically any digital boardgame (ticket to ride for example) would meet your vibes.

Maybe a little more intense, but Rayman Legends/Origins are pretty cozy.

Any of the Lego games would probably work.

Peak has an “easy” setting that just makes it a goofy teamwork based game.

I was looking into how cost effective it would be to upgrade/build a new rig - from my research I think you’d struggle to make a new build that runs 4K/60 under $1000. I feel like the steam machine is maybe $100-200 above a similar build, but that ignores things like size/wattage/CEC

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?

As with most AI/LLMs it’s about how much error you can tolerate.

Translating basic info, sure the user can infer any slight mess ups. Translating jokes, idoms, tone, cultural differences, etc. is hard assuming you even got the original text right.

For me, it’s worked out for plex. What it offered at the time was more than worth the price and I’ve felt a little bad about it being a once and done payment.

That being said they’ve hurt some of the good will with the changes they’ve made, but also I imagine they’re struggling to find a sustainable path for development.

If looking for a good “actual fox” game I’d recommend tunic!

I thought the game was okay. Combat was a bit wonky and the story a bit hard to follow, but do to the length it may be worth it. Especially if your into occult magic/cthulu themes.
