No. Yes. Kind of.
My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it’s jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.
Depends where you live, but in my area pizza boxes go with the cardboard.
GDPR. Honestly, one of the greatest laws ever passed by anyone, anywhere. No hyperbole, it’s so simple and pro-dignity. It also offers a simple litmus test: if you oppose GDPR, I oppose you.
Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is one of the advertiser’s most powerful tools.

I saw the Google Maps Streetview car earlier today. I can’t wait for my picture to be published so if I get lost I’ll be able to find myself on the map.
New goal: see a total solar eclipse during lahaina noon during a period of peak sunspot activity to get some equatorial aurora and just after a water-rich meteorites disintegrated in the upper atmosphere, creating a blanked of ice crystals.
Is that so much to ask? No clouds, ideally.

Bought? Never. I have a 2024 Western Europe road atlas in the pocket behind the driver’s seat, but I don’t know who bought it. I like to look at the pretty lines and funny names from time to time, but really OSM and it’s various client apps are what I actually use.
Hey. Heyhey. Heyheyhey. Have you ever noticed that your warships have giant barcodes on them? It’s so that when they return to port they can scan the navy in.
FWIW the EU’s eCall system doesn’t actually require a GSM module in the car; it’s enough to use a phone connected to the Bluetooth handsfree kit… That said, since most manufacturers already have the module for data-harvesting anyway it’s kind of moot.
WINE is WINE Is Not Emulation. It’s right there in the name in the name.
I’m going to get that tattooed backwards across my forehead.
Good bot.
Two videos for you to watch:
Hyper-Reality, a PoV short film featuring an overqualified gig worker in a world of ubiquitous, ad-laden and heavily enshittified AR. https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs
This Euro-News article which features a Murdoch-owned advertising agency trying to get train windows turned into bone-conducting acoustic transmitters so weary travellers are forced to listen to ads as they resr their heads. https://youtu.be/1KZATgg7bJo
I came here to say this. If anyone’s interested, here’s unedited footage of a bear.
