Panasonic has said demand for backup batteries is rising quickly, and it is largely driven by the expansion of AI infrastructure that requires stable, continuous power. It has already allocated around 80% of its planned output to existing customers, leaving only a limited share for new buyers attempting to scale systems.

BONUS SCREENSHOT!

The last of the cool sights I saw on the train I found in Part 1 in the game Crimson Desert! (Part 2 is here!)

I seem to have stumbled upon a community or village that has electricity (?) or something akin to electricity. They also had a few robots (?) and "drone" robots flying around as the train was passing by. I really just like the glow of the lights with the "god rays" of the moon shining down through the clouds. It felt both cozy and strange at the same time. I will find out if my suspicions are right or wrong eventually!

As you can see from my bonus screenshot, there will be plenty more screenshot worthy moments I'm sure, but this was just a little share of a self-imposed trip on a train that led to me seeing lots of pretty and interesting things. If you've been following along, thank you! If you are just now seeing this, please take a look at the other posts linked above!

I just like taking cool or interesting screenshots. :-]

If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now?

Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something less "Canonical"-y for a long time (since the Amazon search fiasco, pretty much).

Appreciate recommendations or just an interesting discussion about people's experiences, there are no wrong answers.

Hi there, i have a few questions about GL-Mt3000 and Openwrt.

Context Wall fell free to skip:

spoiler

I bought a year ago a Gl-Mt3000 and have been using it as a home router since then.

It was fantastic, since the interface is really easy, i put all my iot on a guest network, my family cellphones on another and activated Adguardhome with little knowledge needed.

Now, i wanted to start learning a bit more, so i decided to host the dns sinkhole (Adguard Home) by myself on my main network.

I more or less got it working, it shouted a few errors but it worked. My problem is that the iot devices on the guest network can't access it.

Tinkering with the gl-inet interface i was able to proxy all dns request to the Adguard server, but since they are redirected from the router i lose the statistics since every query appears as if it was done by the router itself.

From what i read, there are ways to make the udp 53 port reach the guest network but it flew a bit over my head, and i don't know how touching luci will mess with the gl-inet interface.

Questions:

Is there any benefit to host AdguardHome outside the router? I did it to learn, but i don't know if it has any advantages.

I plan to learn openwrt and flash the router to vanilla openwrt. My reasons are that:

• I feel restricted by the gl-inet interface.
• Gl-inet doesn't seem to update too frequently their firmware.
• I'm worried their custom software will cause problems if i tinker Luci too much.
• I think it will easier to learn the vanilla version than a custom version.

Does all of this make sense? Do you think is worth to spend time on this?

Curtin University research has found farmers making small changes to how they give water to cattle in semi-arid regions could halt the spread of one of Australia's most damaging invasive species—all without disrupting farming operations. Published in Global Ecology and Conservation, the paper reveals straightforward, low-cost changes to cattle troughs and fencing could prevent invasive cane toads from accessing the water they need to survive during hot and dry conditions.

The Berlin Apartment feels less like a traditional game and more like an interactive story, but it’s the everyday personal moments that make experiencing its shared place and the lives shaped by history more powerful.

i have a nice emag PDF collection and browsing the filesystem via a simple nginx file-browser is ok so far, but i miss the cover view, bookmarking of pages and a PDF search.

i sort the mags in this kind of folder-structure via flexget (but sort them manually into a year folder if a mag has many releases per year).

i tried Kavita today which provide a nice cover view, but there is no grouping of magazines and i can not set a bookmark on a PDF page. I think it's desinged for book/comics/mangas.

Does anyone has another nice suggestion for a emag collection?

Or an idea how i can get grouping for my first-level folders in Kavita?

More and more games seem to suck on thier own, but can be great with mods. You have entire platforms like roblox where all the games are more or less mods. How long until the platform itself is community created and managed and the viability of games created by companies dissappears?

Only this paragraph is required reading, the rest is me explaining at length till you puke cause I do that, sorry. So I'm looking for a self-hosted Ebook server that I can simply load the built-in web reader on any web browser, and have it remember my progress on each different browser.

Reason: I often pull up books and other study materials (gear manuals, etc) on my large TV in a browser, as it is a comfortable reading experience that does not require me to use my diabetic hands with their pins and needle fingers. But one uses one's phone when out and about, of course. Better than doomscrolling.

If I have read ahead on one device and don't have it handy, it becomes instant hell to try to figure out where I got to without overshooting, and you end up just skimming all the pages and it's torture, so I end up, you guessed it, doomscrolling.

I currently have Calibre Web Automated installed and it does not appear to do this, though it does have a plugin that will track you on certain Reader Devices that I do not own and whose phone app equivalents I find not good cause it's fake e-paper on an LCD, which is just awful. I'm sure that real e-paper is awesome, but fake e-paper is just as dystopian as you might imagine.

This functionality seems like a fairly easy get, once you've gone to the trouble of implementing the rest of the server and doing it on those other devices, but so far I cannot find an extant project that does it. It's very strange to me, cause of all the things that one can choose between an app or a webui, the app really cannot offer you anything that a web page cannot, in terms of your page-by-page experience. You want the text at a readable size filling the page completely, with an index swipable, that's it.

This is my one attempt to get help finding an existing solution before I start looking at the various projects and figuring out which one I can maybe add it to. I want this ability and I don't want another goddam device, have a server and tailscale and that's all any User needs.

Today’s game is Stardew Valley. I got my friends to join me some more for our farm. We are currently at 6 members (one of our players didn’t get the memo we were playing and refunded it thinking we had given up playing), so no change unfortunately in player count. We’ve made a lot of progress though.

Near the end of Summer I was already getting Married (I picked Haley). I set things up right with gifts, the cart, and even the Luau to get there.

This would be the third time I’ve ever gotten married in Stardew Valley, which is weird considering I have almost 25 different saves spread across my Switch, my PC, and my phone.

I even managed to catch the Crimson Fish, which brings me to my key talking point. I like how the game has these clearly defined routes for each of the money making paths. It really makes it fun to kind of pick out one method of making money and reach the pinnacle of that. And then later you can add another into the mix, or even do them all.

Stardew valley I feel like is made up of a bunch of really simple moving parts but they’re so well oiled and all add together to make something really fun to play. Not to mention the support from the developer over the years. It’s crazy to think. I remember playing this game in middle school. Now I’m in college, I can drink, and I even have a job. And after all these years the game still is supported. It’s respectable.

Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.
