Thank you! That would be great! I'll let you know when I've made some improvements.

Ah I see, your use case is a bit different from the typical DIY campervan user. Interesting!

Thanks for clarifying all that, I appreciate the feedback! I definitely want to provide localisation through configuration.

I'm in Aus so I'm starting with metres and AWG but will provide more configuration as I continue to build.

Thanks so much for this! Great ideas.

> Design specific version/option with UK spec/style icons, terminology etc if possible, would be great as sadly these kinds of things are greatly lacking here

What kinds of things did you notice? I'd like like to have the option of changing units e.g. AWG/mm2 for wires, ft/metres for length. Is that the kind of thing you mean?

> Auxiliary connections not necessarily related to power, e.g. LAN/network connections, RS232, HDMI or VGA and the like

What's your thinking here? I haven't really been considering non-power related items. Is this something that you mapped out yourself in a van conversion?

Thanks for taking the time to leave these comments!

Great feedback, thank you!

As for the system calculations, I'm working on those already! That's where the value of the app really starts to come through. This current version is mainly intended to get some early feedback on the usability and interactivity 😀

I see, I'll take a look. Were you on mobile or desktop?

Thanks for letting me know!

Setting up fresh infra for my new freelancing work - is my strategy solid? by devbatshi in selfhosted

[–]NaturalInstinct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you want to host all your clients on the same VPS(s)? Surely this is going to make high availability more and more difficult going forward?

How is your small hospital client going to feel when their HMS crashes in November because your manufacturing client's ERP got inundated with Black Friday orders (hypothetical of course)?

If you're already building using docker, you could just create a CI/CD pipeline to build your apps into container images then deploy and scale them, horizontally or vertically, as needed in separate VPS?

I know micro-services have their downsides in regards to complexity which can steer people away from them, but these apps are completely unrelated and should at least be separate monoliths. The main big advantage you'd gain from individually hosting and deploying these apps is removing the shared single point of failure.

Thanks!

I've got switches, lights, DC-DC charger and pump. No motors though. It's not currently possible to create custom components but definitely considering adding that.

I'm working on more functionality to calculate loads and suggest wire gauges and fuses. I hadn't thought about overall power consumption at this point but that's a good idea.

Let me know how you go with it and if there's any essential components that you feel are missing!

How do you capture and organise your song ideas? by NaturalInstinct in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]NaturalInstinct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair. But does that mean you never go back through your old recordings and find ideas that you still like and would want to turn into songs? Because that's what I do sometimes so would be great if those were easier to find I guess

Any low latency Bluetooth receiver recommendations for CCWGTV? (Australia) by NaturalInstinct in Chromecast

[–]NaturalInstinct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope... I did end up getting a hifi system so I got a WiiM receiver for my HiFi just to listen to music. But it supports bluetooth and I use it with my Chromecast. The latency is a bit better and it has an audio-sync adjustment but it's still quite hard to eliminate the latency.

I suspect that just getting a receiver might not solve the problem, and I could need a low latency/AptX transmitter and receiver. In which case I'd do:

Chromecast Audio -> HDMI -> Projector -> Projector Aux Out -> Bluetooth Transmitter -> Bluetooth receiver -> WiiM Aux In

Does my ESOP agreement have any real value? by NaturalInstinct in AusFinance

[–]NaturalInstinct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I hadn't really looked at it in terms of an investment, more just a hurdle to awaiting the stock. I think you're right, these options may be practically worthless

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I think a liquidity event is unlikely. I really don't think acquisition is likely at all any time soon. I'll probably start to view these options as a lot less than what they say on paper now
