Black and white as VR

Data vs compute

It’s easy to send all the data in an x mile radius of the players position. Or to identify the players position, speed, camera angle, etc. render it all, compress it, and then send the computer, rendered, video fees.

What benefit would streaming plane models have?

Landscape and real time weather data makes sense. Things are changing and it doesnt make sense to have high res textures of the entire planet on users PCs. Or are you just meaning on demand download of the skin?

I’ve made a few things. One, Mickey shaped cabinet hardware I put up for free because I didn’t want to deal with Disney. Though I might put the raw print up on Etsy or something just because.

Another is a frame to turn a Disney name tag into an ornament. I’m selling the completed product rather than releasing the design because I wanted to really offer it to people who didn’t have 3d printers and wanted to ensure that it met my standards. And I didn’t want competition. That said, it takes quite a lot of time to print, prep, sand, and paint. I spend a couple hours in finishing each and sell it at a price that… Totally doesn’t make it worth it.

“new planet. Who dis?”

Hell, I still have the CD installer. And I think the soundtrack CD.

I did enjoy the puzzle houses people would make though.

Having lived in California, so much of their rain water actually just runs down the sewers. It’s so hard for the water to absorb into their soil because it’s become just baked into almost a crust. Having green space will probably make it easier for water to penetrate into the soil and be retained in the soil.

On her computer, why not just use Thunderbird on it? Or even outlook, or whatever she likes. She just needs to pick the software.

On her phone, or even yours, why the stuff with accessing Thunderbird through vnc. Just add the server to whatever mail app on your phones?

If you want a web based thing, roundcube or sogo. But Thunderbird is gonna suck the way you are trying to use it.

Stupid rspamd default config on my server blocked an email confirming an order from rayban I guess because it was the first time it saw an email from them? Couldn’t even release it, which annoyed me greatly.

And it also put a confirmation from a hotel into quarantine because the resort didn’t have a valid spf record. But at least I could release that one.

I ended up making it much more permissive as a result. But it was super annoying.

I learned nginx when I was hosting websites. I had it set up and running when it was time to add reverse proxies into my setup. It didn’t take much more from the virtual hosts I was already using.

Now, I don’t host many individual sites anymore and haproxy has a plugin on my firewall for the handful of services I run now.

I’ve used all these sites before for used parts/servers

You can get an older model Samsung Evo 1tb SSD new for under $100. Those have been good drives for me.

You can probably find something to shuck used if you don’t care too much for reliability.

Regardless, get a second disk even something attached to your main PC to handle backups.

RPi are nice, but imo are getting expensive and if you aren’t using the i/o pins just not worth it. If I were to just start out again I’d pickup a used laptop. Higher specs than a RPi and built in battery backup.

Yup. I run those kind of clusters. But unless your in home datacenter territory, that sort of config isn’t likely to happen in self hosted.

Even physical hardware, if your paying power you can have clusters of physical hardware power up and down based on usage. There is no point in having 10 physical hosts running when the workload for n+1 means 3 servers overnight. With bnc, ipmi, ilo, idrac it will power them up as needed.

They have an app and they do connect up to it. But they can be put on a vlan and null routed to only work locally.

You could have shitty routers. I use unifi access points, make sure I set the channels so I don’t have a lot of interference with any nearby wireless networks, and I should be able to handle a few hundred devices at once. You could also have a small DHCP scope that limits the number of devices on the whole network.

Most power line adaptors say to keep it on the same circuit. The one I have is running a small VoIP phone and I don’t have issues with call quality.

They don’t have a lot of traffic. I have over 40 kasa devices between switches, outlets, and bulbs with no issues.

I like zooz 5 button scene controllers. They are z-wave.

I also like kasa’s switches. They are wifi, but being on mains powered I’m not concerned with wifi draining batteries and I have them in a vlan with minimal access.
