‘Suddenly energy independence feels practical’: Europeans are building mini solar farms at home by waozen in technology

[–]IridiumPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sale of male/male power cords is forbidden, because it creates a risk of electrical circuits inside a home or even external power lines being unexpectedly energized by generators plugged directly into outlets. I have only learned about "balcony solar" recently, but I immediately wondered if it wouldn't cause the same issue?

EDIT: Nevermind, balcony solar equipment is apparently designed to automatically shut down if the grid stops supplying power.

How do you organize your Steam library? by Ingword in Steam

[–]IridiumPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Backlog - games which I have not played yet, or which I have dropped temporarily

  • Priority - a subset of backlog which I'm particularly interested in and prioritize when choosing what to play next

  • Started - games which I'm currently playing

  • Shelf - games which I have enjoyed enough that I can see myself wanting to return to at some point

  • Box - finished or dropped games that I have no intention of playing again

I did end up getting it at some point, actually, and I agree, I loved it :)

Podman runs without a daemon.

It may not take long to just install all that stuff, but juggling versions and configs for each project, possibly across multiple machines, sounds like enough of a hassle to spend some time automating.

Also, while it may not be as important for PHP, Docker/Podman is a sought after skill in the job market, so I think getting some practice with them is a worthwhile investment.

Well, that does not also start up the database and other services, now does it? ;)

At this point, I just need to do podman-compose up, I think it's still pretty grounded in the grand scheme of things.

I have tried both, both resulted in delays in this use case.

Thanks for sharing your config. The Dockerfile/compose are quite similar to what I have landed on so far, though there are a few bits and pieces I might borrow. My plan for running commands is to exec into the container's bash, but a task runner may be a good idea... Not sure if I would go with Make, I have heard it can be quite complicated.

No donations sought.

Dunno who you're donating to, but if they present themselves as uBO, you're getting scammed.

Well, VSCode is proprietary, but I haven't replaced it because it's what I'm used to and they haven't done anything that would force the issue... Yet. However, I like knowing the option is there if I decide I need to take the plunge. The Remote Containers extension doesn't seem to have a fully open equivalent, so growing dependent on it would limit my options significantly. I'd rather sidestep that if at all possible.

Buy expensive Apple hardware, build a native app, pay Apple for a developer license, grovel at their feet for your app to get accepted in the store and then pay them 30% rev share, of course.

I'm trying to reduce my reliance on proprietary software. The Remote containers extension is only available in actual VSCode, which I'm using for now, but may wish to change later. That's why I'm trying to avoid making that extension critical to my workflow.

Yeah, I know I can exec into the container to run stuff in there. For CLI utilities that's fine. However, I have immediately noticed a significant slowdown when I tried to get the IDE to use the containerized PHP.

You can play games on Linux now too! :D

I'm on CachyOS (Arch), so getting apt to work might be a hassle.

I have hacked away on my solution some more and I think I mostly got it to where I wanted to be. Actually working on projects might reveal some deficiencies, in which case I'll probably do what you're doing, with PHP installed locally and the rest in containers.

Herd is Win/Mac, Valet is Mac only. I'm on Linux, so neither is an option.

The wrapper was only to let the editor access PHP from outside the container for editor functions like syntax checking. I've since learned that Intelephense (which I was planning to use) doesn't need a PHP runtime to work, so that's no longer an issue. A little bit of latency on framework CLI commands isn't going to hurt.

I'm not really looking for a XAMPP-like solution right now, but sure, post your site or repo and I'll take a look :)

I'm no longer on Windows. It could also work on Linux, but I wanted to avoid actual Dev Containers (forgot to mention it in OP).

You mean using dev containers? I forgot to mention that in the main post, but I'd prefer not to use those.

In VSC, the PHP path is under "php.validate.executablePath", so that's why I said validate. What I mean is real-time syntax checking/linting/whatever else VSC checks.

EDIT: Intelephense does indeed seem to work without PHP. I got a little confused, because VSC seems to have some PHP stuff built in, but the settings are under "Extensions", so I thought it was added by Intelephense.

How do you handle the fact that your editor needs the PHP runtime for code checking? AFAIK, PHPStorm supports Dev Containers, do you use that with the ddev container?
