App wise I recommend just using the progressive web app (install website as app). It works very well, and you always get the latest updates.
For the server, find one that targets one of your interests.
I make things with computers. Preferably artsy things, but I also like to work on random scripts and pipelines. I like D&D & video games, but don’t always have time to play them. I like pet chicken. I watch soccer, especially NWSL & USWNT, as well as some WSL and whatever happens to be on.

Oil demand deceleration is up in country where demand for non battery vehicles is down. China.
Yes, it’s the embarrassment that’s really important here. 🙄
That’s such a capitalist way of thinking. “The daycare down the street is never going to compete with ABC Baby Slaughter as long as their rates are higher!”
Non EV owners can’t grok how convenient home charging is, and the reality that station charging is a general rarity.
I actually don’t think it is a deal breaker. How many 300+mi road trips does a person take? So what if it takes longer a few days out of the year?
And you can always prioritize fast charging when shopping EVs, if that’s important. We knew full well we weren’t getting the fastest charging EV when we bought ours. But, like I said, it was fine on our big trip, and really we didn’t stop more often than we usually do, even if our stops were a bit linger, and it didn’t have a negative impact.
EV owner in the US with home charger. It’s the best. The convenience of never having to go to a gas station is huge. I was so worried about range and charging speed before I got the car, but it’s all bullshit. The reality is that I wake up in the morning and I’m ready to go wherever I want to go. I take a few longer trips a year, and I’m always able to find a charging station along the way. The apps make it pretty easy to know where to go. I have a CCS plug, and we’re supposed to get the Tesla adapter sometime this year. But even without it, we just took an 800 mile road trip, and there’s a CCS fast charging station at least every 80 miles, so it’s not like we were ever in danger of not making it. The only thing I don’t like about the CCS plug is that they’re so damn heavy. The Tesla ones are supposed to be nicer, so there’s that to look forward to.
Yea, that sounds like it sucked. Glad it didn’t happen to me.
Oh man, I loved my Surface Pro 3. I used it as my main device for home and work for years. Not invalidating your experience… I’ve used devices that others thought were great that I thought were garbage.
I once took over an app that worked like this. Access to one thing? Access to everything! And they had a hard coded admin password in the server code. 🤦 The client wasn’t happy when I proposed a complete rewrite. Eventually my manager begged me to stop working with them, so we did.
I loved Linux at work when I had a sysadmin. Shit worked great. At home I started using Linux and despite some driver issues, it was mostly good. Then I started working for myself (so no more sysadmin). Some Linux update totally screwed up my computer and I lost a lot of work. It also became too much work to try and configure the apps that I needed to use for work. Switched to windows and it’s been pretty smooth sailing. Still boot up Linux now and again for this or that, but I don’t trust it enough as a daily driver for my needs.
Whenever we cross state lines we raise our hands and go “whoop, whoop.” I have no idea when this started, but it brings us joy whenever we’re on a road trip.
Yep, I use for Xbox cloud gaming on steam deck.
Fact: I’m shocked Linux Mint is still a thing. Fact: it screwed me over in the past. I don’t see how either of those statements can, by definition, be uninformed or not still valid. What are you trying to prove? I don’t need you to validate my life experiences. Why are you acting like you need me to validate your life choices?
I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I was genuinely shocked that Linux Mint is still around. Haven’t heard about it in years. You’re free to not take that personal.
Details are fuzzy at this point, but I believe it was a series of updates that kept having issues and finally one update that completely screwed up the machine, and in trying to fix it I ended up losing some important data. I was pissed off and got an MS Surface, and I kind of loved it, so haven’t been Linux since.
Huh, I’m honestly shocked Mint is still a thing. It screwed me over so bad many years ago, I’ve been Windows ever since.
Was looking for Street Fighter II on here. That game set me back DM150 and it was worth every bit of it. Possibly surpassed by Virtua Fighter II eventually,
I’ve actually been shocked by how little production drops during winter. For example, we Feb & March, our coldest months this year, we produced 1.75 MWh/month, which actually beats every summer month before it, and is only beaten by this August, which was our highest producing month ever at 2.04MWh. Most summer months before that were closer to 1.5. Only thing I need to do is clear the panels after it snows.
