No surprise. Same with Amazon's experimental drone delivery robots and likely all the other automated delivery systems.

This sounds like the same complaints math teachers had when pocket sized books or calculators or web search or many other technologies started becoming ubiquitous. And the same answer is true, these are tools they will have in the real world. It's just as useful to learn to use tools as it is to learn to do the thing without tools. Test them without the tools available for those things they need to know from memory and with the tools for everything else. Make the tests, essays, etc. so the tools aren't able to do the entire set of work in the test.

Wasn't as big of a problem when text books helped with this like making lots of math problems that calculators couldn't solve in a dongle step. The real issue is that textbook manufacturing consolidation has made text books fairly useless, so teachers are left to craft their own lessons if they want them to be worthwhile. And they don't have time to create their own lessons from scratch because of some aspects of our education systems that are too much to go into here.

Yeah, video streaming is not a good thing to put on a limited bandwidth server either directly or as a VPN or proxy passing data.

Best bet would be if you can set up a reverse proxy on your router and have that accept all inbound requests and direct to the correct internal server and port.

However, it has been noted that the demand from labor unions in the gaming industry, where the average annual salary exceeds 100 million won, sounds like the grumbling of a "noble union."

Yeah, but people are literally dying from being forced to work so much overtime. Just because the people are being paid middle class income instead of poverty wages, doesn't mean they are any less entitled to fair treatment. Unfortunately, it's really common in the US as well to pay a "salary" that although the contract might say you have to work 35-40 hours per week to get it, they often don't have a maximum. So employers often require unlimited hours to keep your job. And especially in the tech industry with almost no unions, this practice kills quite a lot here as well. They just don't allow the deaths to be directly linked to work here. Much like how the far right likes to say that COVID killed very few people because people don't usually die from COVID directly, but from diseases that it exacerbates or directly triggers, same was said of AIDS for a time.

Mobilizon works well for me. I only wish more organizers used it so I could get events from local communities without having to enter it myself.

Yeah performance, security, etc., is always a low priority in software departments. All work generally have to get funded by some current or expected income specifically linked to that work. Things are never linked to cost of NOT doing the work. It's always assumed that there's no cost to not doing something. This is a huge flaw in moderne business practices in general as the only thing that matters is current revenue for purposes of stock price or the companies value to investors. In software this means that any work is generally tied to some feature requested by upper management and usually connected to some sale or otherwise linked to expected income. And that means every new feature gets a limited budget and generally in the end, cost cutting trims that down before delivery, but instead of cutting business features, they have to cut things like performance and security testing and development. Those end up as "technical debt", but there is almost never any income that gets tied to those unless there's a lawsuit or other legal requirement that forces the company to fund those things. The whole idea of a department having to "sell" every piece of work to a "internal customer" so they can get money from the organization is a ridiculous idea. It's all the same company's money, there's no actual customer and the whole bureaucracy to support all of that is a huge waste of time and money that could be put into the longterm health of the company. But longterm health isn't important anymore in so many industries because consolidation and legal maneuvering has removed most competition in many industries.

There's a plugin for compose, but podman itself does have some differences here and there. I'm starting to migrate my own stuff as Docker is getting more money hungry. Womder if they'll try to IPO in a few years. Seems like that's what these kinds of companies do after they start to decline from alienating users. Just wish that portainer and docker hadn't killed all the GUIs for docker and swarm was better supported.

The company i work for has also required us to migrate from Docker as the hub and desktop app are no longer totally free. I expect more and more limitations will show up on the free versions as usually is the case with companies like this.

If the meter is plugged into the UPS, then the UPS has nothing to do with the power flowing into the meter. Power is "pulled" not "pushed" to devices in that a device supplying power can limit the amount of power provided, but can't increase it beyond what the devices request.

Just like with plumbing. The water company can't force your faucets to open and use more water. Now they could increase pressure and break pipes, similarly the UPS could provide the wrong voltage and short or burn out wires or devices causing them to draw more, but that is unlikely to be the issue here. As long as voltage is constant, amperage (the other component in wattage) is pulled, not pushed.

What you're seeing in the input load, if it matches what is flowing out of the meter, is some device requesting more power and thus more power flowing into the UPS to be passed to those devices, not the UPS forcing something to use power which isn't possible as explained above, or the UPS itself using power because the meter has no connection to what power is being used by the UPS, only things plugged into the meter.

So, there must be something else using the power. Likely the devices, even if they aren't really doing anything you consider significant, are doing something. Probably maintenance, checking for updates, the monitoring proceses requesting information from the devices since the TrueNAS server is on that end, etc. You'd need to put a meter on each device to determine what is drawing the power specifically.

Also, does the power meter only display power used by devices plugged into it, or does it also display it's own power usage? Could be that the plug itself is using WiFi or something to communicate with external services to log that data. But that would be quick bursts.

Also, without putting a meter on each device, this is probably cumulative. For example, if the NAS is requesing info for monitoring the network, that would spin up the processors on the RPi an cause the switch to draw more power as it transmits that information across the network. Again, this should only be small bursts, but it's also possible the devices are not sleeping properly after whatever process wakes them so they continue to run their processors at higher amperage for some time. Tweaking power profiles can help with something like tuned on Linux or similar to make things sleep more agressively. With the drawback that they take some amount of time to spin back up when needed.

It you're talking about TOTP exclusively, that only needs the secret and the correct time on the device. The secret is cached along with the passwords on the device.

LLMs are perfectly fine, and cool tech. Problem is they're billed as being actual intelligence or things that can replace humans. Sure they mimic humans well enough, but it would take a lot more than just absorbing content to be good enough at it to replace a human, rather than just aiding them. Either the content needs to be manually processed to add social context, or new tech needs to be made that includes models for how to interpret content in every culture represented by every piece of content, including dead cultures who's work is available to the model. Otherwise, "hallucinations" (e.g. misinterpretation and thus miscategorization of data) will make them totally unreliable without human filtering.

That being said, there many more targeted uses of the tech that are quite good, but always with the need for a human to verify.

There's not a need to have vaultwarden up all of the time unless you use new devices often or create and modify entries really often. The data is cached on the device and kept encrypted by the app locally. So a little downtime shouldn't be a big issue in the large majority of cases.

A desktop environment is a waste of resources on a system where you'll only use it to install and occasionally upgrade a few server applications. The RAM, CPU power, and electricity used to run the desktop environment could be instead powering another couple of small applications.

Selfhosting is already inefficient with computing resources just like everyone building their own separate infrastructure in a city is less efficient. Problem is infrastructure is shared ownership whereas most online services are not owned by the users so selfhosting makes sense, but requires extra efficiencies.
