  • Before Soundboks went industrial they made portable speakers for festival goers by hooking a speaker up to car batteries and putting it in a nice box. I imagine you can get a nice setup following their footsteps. Unfortunately Soundboks is more than twice your budget so I can’t recommend them on that alone, but a cheap second-hand speaker (or some drivers and an empty box so you can fit batteries inside too), a car battery, and a cheap microphone should be doable below €200-€300.



  • Yes I do in fact. We need to lower the economical impact of production too, consumption is just a drop in the bucket. To put it in perspective, I can run my PC from a second hand generator. Most low end generators might even be able to run 10s of my PCs. A datacenter training the high end LLMs that I could be running needs a nuclear power plant worth of energy. We are talking multiple magnitudes of difference.

    I suppose you don’t consider the coal-powered electricity that powers your EV when reflecting over your impact too?






  • I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

    I can definitely recommend that setup.



  • Try to throw the puzzle into sudoku.coach’s solver and you’ll find a ton of techniques that completely eliminate the guesswork.

    I find sukdokus extremely fun and I never need to guess on a 6/7 out of 10 in difficulty. My suggestion is to take it slow at lower difficulties to get acquainted with the simpler techniques before springing to the harder difficulties.
