It still seems to be under heavy discussion. see this recent article: https://netzpolitik.org/2024/eu-council-discusses-digital-euro-and-how-much-privacy-should-it-be/

I assume the end result will be more privacy preserving than current commercial offers like Visa or Mastercard, but it will be a trade-off between what commercial data-brokers will be able to see and what the central bank will be able to see. Pick your poison I guess 😒

Realistically it might also become so bureaucratic that it will see limited uptake, but specifically for GNU Taler it might make it possible for a Taler intermediatory to exchange digital Euros for tokens in your Taler wallet without having a banking license, which could help Taler adoption a lot. But I guess the latter would depend on how usable the former is. Like if it is too bureocratic, then a separate payment system based on it could thrive, but if it is easy to use, then too few people would probably see the benefit of GNU Taler as an extra step.

There is also the deep asymmetry of effort. Nearly all moderators are volunteers that put in largely invisible effort every day, for no return. As all humans they sometimes make mistakes and can also have a bad day.

On the other hand there are people that put almost no effort in, but are deeply offended by any moderation action against them and will rise a huge stink about it.

These two factors together make people very reluctant to volunteer for moderation duties in popular communities, which is a major issue for the health of the Lemmyverse as a whole.

The one at the top could also be a connector for a serial port for debugging or so.

https://github.com/fatedier/frp seems to be designed for such cases, but I have not tried it myself.

The stick is better for movement, while the pads are better for aiming. And the buttons work fine where they are.

Arguably the left side pad is a bit useless for gaming itself, but its nice to have two pads for desktop navigation and using the on screen keyboard that is build into steam.

Yes, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Controller

Steam controller obviously (for everything other than retro gaming which often requires a dpad).

You still don’t have a clue, but I am tired of trying to argue with obvious bad-faith Russian trolls like you.

Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.

Installing Linux on most hardware became really easy maybe 5 years ago.

Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.

Lead acid can boil over and fill a badly ventilated room with flammable hydrogen and other toxic gasses.

A well maintained LiFePO4 battery that some modern UPS use it probably less risky, but I think the risk for both is very low.

Well I guess [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are already quite well known.

[email protected] and [email protected] are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.

There is a special .iso archive for all past releases.

Yes, don’t expose Windows to the internet 😒

https://opnsense.org/ is a good system if you want an easy to install and open-source firewall.

Edit: no need to buy their official hardware. Any x86 system with two network ports will do.

When you are actively charging the batteries off a solar panel for example, it will be even higher, up to 17V 14.5V or so I think. The automotive PicoPSUs only cost a little more and will smooth it out up to 24V I think… there are even some models that go up to 48V.

Edit: why the down-votes? Is this incorrect?

Some people want to be able to reach their server via SSH when they are not at home, but yes I agree in general that is not necessary when running a real home server.

Get a PicoPSU for automotive use (there are two varieties, one that needs stable 12v and another that can run directly off a battery with varying voltage).

The historical Nazi Germany was actually quite supportive of zionist efforts and interestingly the reverse was also true for some time before the holocaust got into full swing.

Don’t leave SSH on port 22 open as there are a lot of crawlers for that, otherwise I really can’t say I share your experience, and I have been self-hosting for years.
