Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?

It's fucking horrible even here in EU, where I would expect it to be better regulated. Can't imagine how bad it's in the US.

I've even seen multiple posts on local subreddits about people buying SUV/crossovers and one of the main reason was being blinded by other SUVs.

Fucking horrible it should be checked at every MOT, and it sometimes is, but the newer vehicles are exempt from yearly MOTs for some stupid reason.

That's a no

Here in Poland it works quite well, at least when the merge is expected.

But we have signs reminding people of that and they also display this kind of driving tips on info boards on motorways when there is nothing more important.

Nostalgia hits hard

My dad told me that is the late 90s model. And Poland in the 90s was dirt poor, so it had to be very impressive back then.

We used it as the main TV till 2012 at least and it served as secondary for some more years after that.

Laptop iGPUs

Reply in thread

And get at least 16GB of RAM. Decent amount of laptops with better iGPU have it soldered to the motherboard, so not upgradable.

Not all mobile 11-14th gen had Iris Xe - you can look them up on Wikipedia and I wouldn't go lower than 80 EUs. You should be able to find more used Intel laptops than AMD.

I have i7-1165G7 (96 EUs) and it's fine for older/not demanding games - I played Cities Skylines 1 on my laptop and it was playable.

PS: last time I checked I had better FPS on Linux than on Windows 10, which might be related to how Intel drivers and dxvk handle DirectX9

Looking for a Self-Hosted Music Server with Discovery & Recommendation Features

I decided to go bare minimum effort to get the self-hosted music expirience, so I'm just hosting the music on NextCloud for the Symfonium app to grab. I downloaded most of the music from YT music using yt-dlp, since that's what I'm quite familiar with and I don't have the arr stack set up yet.

I'm planning to move to Navidrome or Jellyfin soon™

Happy to hear great suggestions in other comments

Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?

I've been deploying Gitea (or Forgejo, still can't decide), but I've fallen into the Ansible rabbit hole and can't get out. Also learned Terraform in the last week and I'm still on the fence about using it in my homelab. It's nice for the cloud but I don't think it's as useful on-prem.
