Study shows EV owners have bigger carbon footprint than average because they are wealthier
  • Actually, that is the case. New EVs tend to be pretty expensive and not very affordable for the average person. The second hand EV market is just getting started. Small, affordable EVs are beginning to emerge but it will be a few years until they make an impact. So right now the average EV buyer will definitely be more wealthy than the average ICE car buyer.

    New Home Server: OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS or something else?

    I just ordered an Aoostar R1N100 mini PC to replace my aging Synology NAS. Now I'm thinking about what to install on it. It's supposed to work as a NAS but I also want to host some services on it like papeless-ngx and Jellyfin, which I both run in Docker containers on a different machine right now. Plus anything that takes my fancy in the future. Current candidates are OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS. My priorities are ease of installation and administration, as well as reliability. Which one would you recommend or are there any alternatives I'm not aware of? I've also considered Unraid, but I'd prefer something FOSS.

    arstechnica.com EmuDeck coder pivots to hardware with Linux-based “EmuDeck Machines”

    Project lead says its "mostly for fun" but "my heart is poured in this thing."

    While I think something like this makes sense, the pricing seems off. For $600 you can build a PC with a desktop GPU. If you want to make it easy to set up, you could just use an off the shelf mini-PC and preinstall everything so a non-technical user can get started without any hassle. I really hope we'll see more Steam machine like devices in the future.

    Heart rate sensor for Wahoo Elmnt Bolt

    I bought an Elemnt Bolt recently and now I'd like to get heart rate sensor to go with it. The Wahoo ones seem to be sold out everywhere, though. Are there any other sensors I can use? Is it compatible with Ant+? Does anybody have experience with using third party sensors?

    Linux Mint 22 upgrade with Pipewire already installed

    I installed Pipewire a while ago to fix some audio problems. Now it's time for the 22 upgrade. Can I just run the upgrade or will the existing Pipewire installation cause problems? Has anyone done that already?

    Musk could devote less time to Tesla if pay isn't re-approved, shareholders hear.

    Swap the batteries, tips, charging case, shell, or even just individual buds.

    Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets

    But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.
