I've been parcooking rice like this for about 3 years now. It's very little effort and doesn't change the rice enough to matter.

I like this idea in concept. However in most cases failure is mostly due to power loss. So unless these seprate systems have different power sources it might not protect from catastrophy that much.

As some one who does aquaponics at home. Here are some things ive learned which you might consider.

• There is a minimum physical footprint that these systems use, especially if you are trying to conserve power. So it might make more sense to max out those systems in that minimum footprint.
• Different fish can have very different temperature and pH requirements.
• The pH and temp that the fish like isn't always what a plant wants.
• some fish have much greater ranges of pH and temp requirements than others.
• if indoors, it's easy for a pest to establish. Like aphids will trive without ladybugs or green lacewings.
• Vegetables grown in aquaponic systems simply do not taste as good as vegetables grown in soil. Often they are lacking flavor.
• something about the water in an aquaponic system is excellent for propagation from plant cuttings.

For these reasons, I use aquaponics more as a backup and complimentary grow system to my no till regenative garden. Having an indoor system is great in the winter if you want leafy greens or to proprpgate trees for the next season.

But, you know if a business changes to dynamic pricing and their next quarterly numbers shows that the vast majority of people didn't swallow it, and revenue is hugely down, they would undo it in a second.

You would be right if we assume that

1. The people leading these companies are making informed data driven decisions.
2. Companies majorly made money through selling goods/services

However once a company is a certain size or in the correct position it's more about showing a growth potential to investors, then actually proffiting from selling goods/services. Investors is really how these companies make money now. I'm not an economist so I'm not sure if this is still technically capitalism when the majority of profits come straight from investors but to me it sounds much more like a ponzi scheme.

My point being is that in a best case scenario, a nationwide boycott could take place and a company makes $0 gross income. But they can still profit if they can convince their investors that they are taking the right steps to position themselves in "this new economy". Now realistically someone is still going to buy their products and any boycott effort will just have minor effects. The absolute worst case scenario for anyone actually in charge of making decisions like this at a large company is they get a golden parachute and hop over to another place.

Just like you said, why would they turn down free money?

OK but have you ran x11 on Ubuntu inside WSL from the Windows terminal?

WSL is the only way I'll use Windows for work.

I second magic earth for driving. The only reason I haven't entirely removed Google maps from my phone yet is because magic earth doesn't have data on business hours. This is the last killer feature I'm waiting for.

In the meantime I'm routing for any open source map that can do live traffic and business info.

Repositories can and should be mirrored to multiple places.

The main repo should probably be isolated in some way. Like maybe a self-hosted Gitea instance which then mirrors all commits to a public facing repo like github.

I do this with all my projects that I care about since I asked myself what was the cost of using github if it wasn't money.

The documentation should also be stored separately from code in its own repo so that it can be hosted as a static website easily.

And there are so many options for CI/CD that you don't have to get vendor locked into github actions.

Edit: I haven't tested mirroring issues. But it should be possible.

For Android, NewPipe is great. I think I prefer FreeTube now however. Mostly because of the ability to use the Invidious api, built in SponsorBlock, settings coss-compatibility with the desktop version, and a better way to organize and export data (IMO). However, freetube android does has a few rough spots that newpipe doesn't have, so ymmv.

After a man date, I like to do a man touch and man mount.

I'm pretty happy with total launcher in combination with app search since I didn't like totals app drawer.

Edit: I just found OpenLauncher and I'm going to test that out.

I'm on EndeavourOS with an Nvidia gpu. I've not had to do anything extra for the the version of proton that comes with steam to work besides install the os with the Nvidia proprietary drivers. And then running eos-update --aur --nvidia

I did notice that I got a lot of screen tearing if using Wayland and that more recent versions of proton didn't work if either Force Composition Pipeline or Force Full Composition Pipeline were enabled; which should have fixed the screentearing so I just use x11 for now.

There are some things I did to make my experience better however. Like installing an proton-ge. Here is a list of what I installed.

nvidia-dkms
nvidia-settings
libva-nvidia-driver # required by vlc to play mkv files with nvidia gpu
nvidia-tweaks # https://github.com/ventureoo/nvidia-tweaks
lib32-nvidia-utils
gamemode
proton-ge-custom-bin
lib32-libudev0-shim # fixes Steam runtime's super old 32 bit version of libnm
lib32-libnm # required if using systemd 253.5-2 or newer

I would also install nvidia-dracut-hook if you are using both Nvidia and dracut. Dracut is the default on recent versions on endeavorOS.

For proton ge, I also added myself to the games group with

sudo usermod $USER -a -G games

I also like to prepend the following to my games launch options in steam

gamemoderun PROTON\_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr PROTON\_ENABLE\_NVAPI=1 PROTON\_HIDE\_NVIDIA\_GPU=0 VK\_ICD\_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia\_icd.json VKD3D\_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr VKD3D\_DISABLE\_EXTENSIONS=VK\_KHR\_present\_id,VK\_KHR\_present\_wait VKD3D\_FEATURE\_LEVEL=12\_1 VKD3D\_SHADER\_MODEL=6\_6

And I set proton-ge as my default proton version on the steam options.
