Debian or Linux Mint

Arch would actually stand a chance.

Don’t go in there, man.

Slightly off-topic, but that is some interesting blogging platform.

The thing is, they’re one of the biggest banks in the eastern hemisphere.

Galium Nitride. It makes high current DC stuff more efficient (i.e. generates less heat) and requires less circuitry (i.e. smaller devices).

I appreciate that you’re really thorough, both with that explaination as well as the implementation in the first place.

I guess I’ve never give it much thought. I mean, I’m familiar with electricity, but I’m paying dirt cheap for it.

One more question: How do you do your lighting? Most light fixtures I know are using e27 bulbs, which are AC powered. I know the LED panels requires driver circuits between them and the main, theoretically they probably could live off your DC straight-up, but they’re generally a pain to work with.

Should be okay, that USB-PD would detect the correct voltage and current.

I’m curious as to what exactly you do with it as an off-grid person, and what you mean by DC-to-DC converter.

I think the real game changer here is the USB-PD. I now only bring a single charger for both my laptop and my phone. Also, a lot of different laptops now charge with USB-C, getting rid of the need of different plugs.

Props to the Thinkpad USB-C retrofit hack. Granted they only work with 65w, but it is still great! My Anker Nano GaN charger is only a little bit larger than an ice cube, definitely smaller than most traditional USB charger, yet it packs 65w.

Fuck, man, that is some depressing backstory.

Pretty much all Linkin Park songs.

Listened to it since elementary.

Around high school, I figured the lyrics were kinda dark.

Then the vocalist hung himself.

No, it’s a song about a nice guy not getting his crush.

Is this real?

Snapshots are subvolumes.

Debian versions are based on Toy Story characters.

Isn’t this kinda implied?

Holy fuck that was mindblowing!

Even if it turns out to be false, I applaud their effort in making this up.

Hell yeah!

Thanks a bunch for the link! That was fun to watch!

A bit of topic, but with the DIY getting more and more in style, I was wondering if casting your own pan is a thing.
