Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.
They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.
Can you ELI5 why water has no calories, which is also a unit of energy?
Calories are a very specific type of measuring energy, especially when used in the context of nutrition. When nutritionists say that water has 0 calories, they mean that water has no nutritional energy.
But when looking at it from a non-nutrition perspective water has calories.
When you say, “something has X calories”, it’s a shorthand of saying “something has an equivalent of X times the amount of energy that is needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C.”
From a physical point of view water ALWAYS has energy (that you can express in calories) because something with mass can never have no energy.
But I’m not sure that all matter has energy.
It has. If it has mass, it has energy, that is a core principle of how matter is defined scientifically.
Calories are not “a thing” but a measurement unit for energy. So yes. everything “has calories”.
You can easily remap it to something useful.
At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.
AI bro’s “won” again.
If someone has the “ultimate solution” to something, they wouldn’t give it away in the Internet for “just $29.99”.
Wero is a trap
It is also insecure by design and actively supports scamming people.
My server’s uptime is roughly the time between two kernel updates. On my desktop PC it’s mostly 4-10 hours depending on what I do during the day.
Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍
This excuse for an article is the hardest read for me since along time. I probably have an AI summarize it for me.
Someone else will continue selling RAM and making money.
TNG is also painfully old fashioned. Especially the fist two seasons are … hard to watch sometimes.
Honestly: I would start with VOY. It’s easy to watch, has a certain amount of action, and doesn’t lose it too much with society and politics.
In the whole ~30 years I’m using computers now I probably owned 2-3 computers in total. I wouldn’t say I’m wealthy or spend too much money on PCs, I just get the best hardware available and use it as long as possible.
Yeah, I admit, it was quite expensive. I never updated one single bit of it, except switching to a 1080 one or two years after buying it, though.
8 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of RAM … those are the specs of my almost 15 years old legacy machine. I doubt that the Steam Machine outperforms anything made in the last 5-10 years.
How generous of them that we’re allowed to install software on our mobile computers that we own.
The USA are a circus only existing to entertain the rest of the world.
There is none. Mozilla has no support staff reachable by mail.
