  Short-haul can hopefully be handled by improved battery tech. Long-haul would need even lighter batteries so it’s less likely to work or will take longer.

  I totally forgot about that :P That would be great indeed.

  The PD trigger board may be much more involved/expensive though and I have not seen any budget battery banks supporting it. One can dream.

  I expect consuming devices to adapt themselves to the three or four commonly provided voltages for the foreseeable future.

  I have done this using a usbc power bank explicitly rated to 20v. You only need a usbc power delivery trigger (which are not expensive).

  I used diodes from a washing machine to drop from 20v to about 18.8v in my case. These dissipate quite a bit of heat so my cable has an extra metal plate as heatsink. I would put the diodes in the middle of the cable if I’d make it again. It is good for keeping it topped up as the current is lower and the heat stays lower too.

  Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don’t have.

  First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.

  Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they’re likely still sufficient.

  Agree.

  I found it more tempting to accept the initial answers I got from GPT4 (and derivatives) because they are so well written. I know there are more like me.

  With the advent of working LLMs, reference manuals should gain importance too. I check them more often than before because LLMs have forced me to. Could be very positive.

  Perplexity.ai has been my go to for this reason.

  It often brings up bad solutions to a problem and checking the sources it references shows it regulary misses the gist of these sources.

  There sources it selects are often not the ones I end up using. They are starting point, but not the best starting point.

  What it is good for is for finding content when I don’t know the terminology of the domain. It is a starting point ready to lead me astray with exquisitely written content.

  Find trustworthy sources and use them.

  Do you fact-check the answers?
