  Please share your experience when you get to it! I try to avoid iot stuff though and thought of something simpler like dimmable lights that get warmer when dimmed - like the Ikea ones, but with 2700k as the highest point it does not really work.

  I thought that maybe the ideal solution would be to wire DC lightning with relays controlling groups of different temperature LEDs. Maybe glueing LED strips to the ceiling and a translucent film under them to diffuse it a bit? I feel like ordering a giant bin of random LEDs should lead to the best possible CRI.

  Also each of the 8 bulbs I ordered had Ra>95 written on the box and they just lie because I can instantly tell that the light is wrong. Bad CRI is so prevalent that friends come to my house and think my lights are incandescent.

  Yes, we only turn the lights on after the sun’s color temperature matches our 2700K lights. During the cloudy winter days we spend the entire day in darkness to avoid mismatched temperature.

  Sometimes I really want to get adjustable LEDs for winter, but it is hard enough to find warm ones with a high enough CRI. I once ordered and returned about 8 different bulbs which had price points from €2 to €100, before going to Ikea and buying bulbs there.

  A few months ago I decided to upgrade my home server. I estimated that 4 2TB nvme SSDs will cost about 350 eur and ordered a nice new ARM box with 64GB RAM and a PCIe thing to split an x8 slot to 4 M.2s.

  The box has arrived last week so I went to order the nvmes and it turned out that the cheapest 2TB SSD is 200 eur now. For the price of one! Now I don’t have the disks and the past few days I’ve been restless and thinking whether I should just eat the cost now or wait for the prices to fall back. Recent NVIDIA keynotes talk about increasing context size or whatever so it looks like the cost will only rise in the near future.

  Fuck NVIDIA and fuck everyone who participates in the latest hype cycle.

  steam deck as bluetooth controller:

  You can use the Steam Deck as a Bluetooth controller by enabling Bluetooth in the settings and pairing it with your PC or other devices. This allows you to utilize its controls for gaming on compatible platforms.

  That’s strange - vanilla gnome should start in overview mode and dash is populated with gnome apps by default. Aside from that, there’s a button in the upper left corner that goes into overview if you press it.

  Maybe your install did get corrupted, because literally my grandma could figure it out. On the other hand, most mainstream distros ship with dash to dock and discoverability must be the reason.
