  • Quite a few unexpected results here…

    1. I’m surprised the C binary is not the smallest, and it’s outdone by Pascal, of all languages.
    2. The speed/energy difference between Java and C# (almost a factor of 2 in favor of Java).
    3. The relatively good performance of JavaScript compared to other loosely typed multi-paradigm scripting languages.
    4. The difference between C# and F#. That’s actually a good reason to question the accuracy of these tests and results.


  • A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I’d like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I’m also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

    My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I’ve been mostly kicking that ball down the street.




  • Not sure what Linux ISOs are, but it’s pretty rare that something is only available with Dolby Vision and not HDR10. Have you verified that HDR10 gives you trouble? 4K HDR is also usually HDR10, unless specifically marked as DV, in my experience.

    Anyway, another option, if you don’t care for HDR, is to transcode/tonemap everything in the background. This way, you don’t have to worry about performance during playback.


  • Exactly. The issue is with the source of electricity, not with the AC itself. Not to mention that leading by example is nice, but it’s not always the best course of action. An individual avoiding AC is a drop in the water, and not going to save the planet, while suffering immensely. Hell, even if every single individual stopped using AC at home (which isn’t even close to reality), that wouldn’t have a significant effect, compared to what corporations, factories, etc. are doing.






  • That’s a really nice setup! I run most of my things on a docker swarm (the docker hosts are VMs running on Proxmox hosts), though that was an overkill in retrospect, and causes more problems with no practical advantages.

    The range of services I run is similar to yours, but I also have a bunch of services for personal finance (beancont/fava, as well as automatic importers and such), a more extensive media setup (with qBitTorrent and *arr apps), a gitea server, and a vaultwarden instance.
