Really happy with Cloudron as well. Have been using it since 2022 for a small business and personally. They recently added community apps so now there is an official way for the community to add apps that are not yet officially supported. Really amazing product and pretty rock solid have migrated a complete Cloudron installation from one server to another a couple of times without issues.

I'm not sure about a 4090 but there is a fork for 3090s: https://github.com/Don-Chad/ninfer-3090

Could you provide more details? 800 Euros sounds very cheap while being able to produce 45% of your electricity needs. Did you mount it on your roof or a balcony or wall? How much power does it produce? Very curious to hear more details or even recommendations (I too live in Germany).

They are planning on doing something similar:

Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.

“If we have a high confidence that they are an adult, they will not have to go through the other age verification flows,”

I've been eyeing Immich for an iCloud replacement for some time now, does anybody have practical experience of how it can be used with iOS as the default backup destination for the Photos app instead of iCloud?

Hey Ben, this looks like a neat project/app! I'm always curious with apps like this about how financially viable it is. Seems to be a fair solution to be able to generate credits yourself by ranking and then buying more credits to get ranked, do you have any numbers or insights you are willing to share? (or have shared somewhere else before?)

Actually I really like this idea, especially in the context of shared food ordering it makes a lot of sense!

I've started working on a shared shopping list for group vacations. No sign-up, just create a list and share the link with friends. Emphasis on good sync performance even in bad network conditions, automatic sorting of the list based on where food is found in the supermarket, tags for items on the list. If anybody has ideas for this use-case please comment or email me :).

Can you elaborate more on the benefits of the Heroic launcher? From the website I understand it offers the convenience of bundling multiple launchers into one but having only used Steam, I don't fully understand it's benefits.

Awesome, thanks for answering! And yes, question one was also partly motivated by gaming :) I understand it doesn't ship with controllers, but I was wondering if the cameras/depth sensors/software are good enough to recognize and track for example a ping pong paddle.

Apart from that, I really hope Apple will work with more game engines in the future. I rented an HTC Vive Pro 2 last year just to play through Half Life Alyx and everything about this experience was so, so good (especially Jeff). Would be incredible if it ran on the Vision Pro eventually but I guess Source 2 is probably not on the engine list :)

One last question I actually had if you don't mind. How do you think gestures will evolve once the headset releases? I understand there are a few basic gestures defined already, like clicking, dragging, zooming, but what about cmd + Z or deleting something. I'm sure eventually people will expect the same gestures for those actions across apps but I didn't see any mention on them so far. Any thoughts on how those might emerge?

Thank you for answering all these little questions, hope I'm not too late :)

1. Could I take a disconnected cable keyboard and "anchor" the virtual keyboard to overlay the real one to get the haptical feedback when typing on the virtual keyboard?

2. I'm very excited about "hanging out in VR" but initial impressions of Persona avatars seem to be mixed. Do you think people will eventually get used to Personas after using them for longer or are we not quite there yet?

3. What is the focal distance for the eyes?

4. What are you most excited for using the Vision Pro again once it comes out :)?

I definitely can't wait to upgrade from my original HTC Vive!

>I was HIGHLY doubtful that Apple could pull off a workable digital avatar based off of just a scan of your face using the Vision Pro headset itself. Doubt crushed [...] It’s not totally perfect, but they got skin tension and muscle work right,[...] and the brief interactions I had with a live person on a call [...] did not feel creepy or odd. It worked.

One of the things that shocked me most from the keynote, was the Persona avatar demo. Meta has demoed what they call codec avatars[1] which are super impressive, but still very much in development and not anywhere on the horizon yet.

To see Apple demonstrate realistic avatars was honestly super impressive and will be imo one of the features that you just need experience to truly realize the world of a difference it makes to talk to someone on a flat video screen or feel like you're in the same space together thanks to these avatars and spatial audio.

Immersion is so powerful in VR, I can't wait to hang out with friends and family abroad, play tabletop games, watch a show together, or just shoot the sht.

Another simple solution I installed on my existing server in actually 5 min via docker run is https://github.com/WeeJeWel/wg-easy. The interface is very simple, and all in all it took 10 min to have the VPN up and running, download the client applications, and connect to it!

> I have a hell of a lot of autonomy, freedom of tooling, people listen to me on tech issues -- even when they probably shouldn't

As someone who's now the only tech person at a small non-profit, this really really resonated with me (as did the rest of your post).

I feel it's often challenging to asses how robust/brittle something should be implemented because we don't sell (and maintain) software. A lot of "tech things" simply have a very short life span, often closely tied to project scope and duration.

I hope you don't mind me asking here, but it would be great to connect with someone in a similar position. If you're up for it, please feel free to shoot me an email, you can find the address in my profile :)

Thank you for making me aware of this project. While it doesn't quite give the results (yet) I was hoping for, it does look quite promising!

Here's another fun thing I accidentally discovered when it made a factual mistake: It will change its reasoning to support its answer.

>The average German citizen produces about 10.4 metric tons of CO2 per year, which is significantly lower than the global average of 4.9 metric tons per person per year. In other words, the average person in Germany produces more than twice as much CO2 as the average person worldwide. The reason for this is that Germany has a highly developed and efficient infrastructure for producing and using renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. As a result, a smaller proportion of Germany's energy comes from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are the main sources of CO2 emissions. Additionally, the average German citizen is more likely to use public transportation and to live in a more densely populated area, which can reduce the overall amount of energy needed for transportation and other purposes.

To which I replied: You said:

"The average German citizen produces about 10.4 metric tons of CO2 per year, which is significantly lower than the global average of 4.9 metric tons per person per year."

this is a false statement, no?

>You are correct, my previous statement was incorrect. I apologize for the error. The average German citizen actually produces about 10.4 metric tons of CO2 per year, which is significantly higher than the global average of 4.9 metric tons per person per year. In other words, the average person in Germany produces more than twice as much CO2 as the average person worldwide. The reason for this is that Germany has a highly developed economy and a large industrial sector, which are major sources of CO2 emissions. Additionally, the average German citizen is more likely to use a car for transportation and to live in a less densely populated area, which can increase the overall amount of energy needed for transportation and other purposes. Again, I apologize for any confusion my previous statement may have caused.

Notice that all of the sudden the average German citizen is more likely to live in a less densely populated area to support the fact that they produce more CO2 per year than the global average.

Really fun stuff!

Not having used any of the graph based note taking/knowledge tools like Obsidian, logseq, Athens Research or Roam -- I was wondering if anybody has tried them for collaborative knowledge management?

Obsidian seems to be single user based, Athens is "collaborative" and "for startup teams". But does anybody actually have any experience using a graph based knowledge tool for your teams knowledge management?

The only times in my life where I stopped "wasting time on the internet" was upon returning from a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat. Especially after the first one this lasted for around 3-5 months. There was no effort involved on my side. It simply came very naturally to me to not check reddit/hackernews/fav blog first thing in the morning or during idle time (or at all really).

Some of that I can probably attest to the disruption in my media routine for 10 days, but that doesn't explain that it lasted for 3-5 months. During the first 3 months I overwhelmingly felt very peaceful, good, and even joyful at times, with negative emotional reactions being a very rare occurrence. I can't help but think that this was the main driver for my lack of habitual "wasting time on the internet". I just didn't need it.

If I could choose, I would prefer how it used to be instead of my current routine of checking reddit/hackernews/youtube multiple times a day. I think it's mostly not nurturing the mind in a good way. But I'm not beating myself up about it, and that's good.

Right on the homepage it says "Kodi brings your media to life".

Apart from piracy, what are legal ways to acquire my own media? When I can't find something on Netflix or Amazon Prime, I typically just buy it on Amazon but Amazon doesn't provide me with a video file. Are there any places I can buy digital media that allow me to download and manage my own media files?

I have both worked 32 hours per week over 5 work days, as well as 28 hours over 4 work days. While they both have their merits, I found working 4 days better for my work life balance. I typically work on creative projects on Fridays or run errands. This frees up my weekend and I feel very rested returning to work on Monday --even during stressful times. Strangely, working on a different cycle than most of my co-workers has also increased my focus quite a bit.

disclaimer: I haven't read the linked article, apologies if the comment is slightly off-topic.

You're correct, he actually overdosed roughly a year after his first use of heroin, not a month like I remembered:

>I overdosed on a combination of (mostly) fentanyl, plus I had a lot of diphenhydramine, pregabalin, temezepam, and maybe some lingering oxymorphone in my system. I stopped breathing with several fentanyl patches in my mouth (they were previously used and I thought they had much less left in them) partially blocking my airway and would have been dead dead if I was found 10 minutes later according to EMS. It took multiple shots of Narcan to revive me.

There is a subreddit called /r/MuseumOfReddit that is "dedicated to cataloguing the posts and comments that will go down in reddit history."

One of the more chilling posts on there[1] is the account of a user who randomly tried Heroin one day, got addicted within 2 weeks, overdosed and was clinically dead within a month, got revived and admitted, came clean, then posted an update to his story 7 years later.

I would personally suggest trying meditation first before trying opioids to alter consciousness and feel euphoric.

To be honest, I felt normal before and normal after. I'm not sure what my levels are now (and I feel normal too), but I've started taking weekly Vitamin D pills from DM. They have 5600IU and I've been taking two per week. Will probably just do a blood test in a month or two to see where I stand.

2015 was a particularly gray winter here in Berlin. The sun didn't come out in weeks and although I felt fine, I suspected I was Vitamin D deficient and got a blood test done. I still have the scans:

2015-02-04: 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin-D3 level at 7.1 μg/l

Then, after taking a 20,000 IU pill per week for around two months:

2015-04-16: 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin-D3 level at 45.6 μg/l

Regarding Grid, personally I always like to look at example applications built with framework/library/engine so seeing a list of projects that utilize Grid would be nice.

A few years ago I took the plunge and started learning Colemak after extensive typing left me with pain in my hands. I haven't had any typing related issues since so personally I can recommend learning an alternative keyboard layout (whether that be Workman, Dvorak, Colemak, or other).

Using qwerty on other people's computers has never been an issue since I use my own machine most of the time. I do have to look at the keyboard when typing qwerty but it's quick enough so I don't really mind.

If you're curious what it feels like to type Colemak, I wrote a small app a few years ago which simulates Colemak for someone on a qwerty keyboard:
