I call it “installing software”.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 6 days ago:
There are tablets with docks available. E.g. I could use Pixel tablet with the hub for that, even with privacy-supporting GrapheneOS.
- Comment on China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI — Huawei-backed BIOS firmware replacement charges China's domestic computing goals 1 week ago:
OpenBoot at Sun and Apple had a ggo thing going for a while. Too bad they didn’t release it as open source. In theory you could deliver architecture-independent drivers that ship as firmware on device.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft has no say what happens on my workstation, and never had any.
- Comment on Selfhost an LLM 2 weeks ago:
The GPU used to but they dropped ROCm support for Radeon V and VII some time ago. Have to look at that Strix/AI thing I guess.

Is Radeon V with 8 GB HBM worth using today?

Why should one give YouTube a second chance, though?

Ironfox works fine for me.

Which asks for captcha.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 4 weeks ago:
We are already running out of fossil fuels (particularly diesel) so that’s a given. If we are going to see significant green hydrogen generation, it will likely be in advanced dirigistic economies like China.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 4 weeks ago:
It is expensive though, so not a self runner in a free msrket economy.

zfs has been working nicely for me for many years, for diverse operating systems including zfs all-in-one for internal NFS mount.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 4 weeks ago:
Well, yeah, the hydrogen solution to build out renewable overcapacity and storing production surplus as green hydrogen in natural gas caverns is dead in the water. So private households better start budgeting for sodium-ion backup for hybrid solar inverters which are island and black start capable, for when planned load shedding events start.

You need a buffer with at least 60 TWh in case of Germany. There is no economic electrochemical energy storage system for that capacity.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 5 weeks ago:
Except you can’t power 24/7/365 with renewable alone, so you still need gas turbine backup.

Most vintage I have is a dual-socket 1U Sparc.
- Comment on How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves? 5 weeks ago:
It would take hours to pull the servers from a mostly full full height rack. And then you’d get a bunch of heavy obsolete servers with zero resale value.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Which “professional edge” are they talking about?
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 5 weeks ago:
Obviously, you host your own hypervisor on own or rented bare metal.

Please demonstrate working and economic terrestrial energy generation using He-3 fusion first.
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 5 weeks ago:
Technically you don’t need a smartphone. A tethered mobile device would do. For just cellular calls, there are dumbphones. That Youtube does or doesn’t work doesn’t concern me. They always ask to login on VPN which is always on for me. Thanks, just no.
- Comment on China connects its largest battery-supercapacitor hybrid storage plant - Energy Storage 1 month ago:
Supercapacitors are for stabilizing the grid, the batteries are for flattening the peaks/load-levelling at diurnal scale.

The trick is to buy dead tree and also download the same book from the usual online libraries.

Diesel generators run fine on heating oil, which is cheaper since no fuel tax and has longer shelf life.
- Comment on Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels? 1 month ago:
I made sure my last car I bought had no modem in it. This is going to get a lot harder for my next. I will be probably limited to the used vehicles market.

You can only lead horses to water.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 month ago:
Na, 4K, even 1080p upscaled to 4K is significantly better thsn FullHD with a video projector.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 month ago:
You can use a pull-down screen attached to ceiling and a ceiling-mounted video projector. 4K is fine for that. I would not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 8K in such a setup.
- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 months ago:
GrapheneOS comes enirely Google free out of the box, including telemetry. It is also a reasonably secure mobile OS. You don’t get all that by just changing the launcher.
